FRANCO-GERMAN
 PACT DEADL0CKED
Frontier Security May Not Come
 Out Of Negotiations

London, July 25 Rl-Considerahl
 concern is expressed my some news papers over the divergencies between the French and German views as revealed by the preliminary com- ment on the French Foreign Minis ter. M. Briand, on tho German re- ply to the French note concerning Germany's proposals for a security pact.
 The diplomatic writer Of the Daily Telegraph says the latest develop- ments have aroused much disap- pointment among the British min isters and some apprehension re- sarding the future of the existing pourparlers aimed at bringing about Ia pact guaranteeing Germany's western frontiers. The trenchant na- 'ture of NJ. Briand's counter.d mandk, however. mildly framed, threaten. in the opinion of the writ Ter, veritable deadlock. He believes the British government will make q very firm stand against any exces- Nl'S Oi uahStl JUS ellpuldllO0b ny either France or Germany, and de- .clares their respective attitudes must he changed If Great Britain Is 10 give practical effect 10 her desire 10 quiet the fears and suspicious of both.
 Fears are voiced by the diploma. tic correspondent of the Westmin- ster Gazette that it will test all of the skill and diplomacy of Austen Chamberlain. the British foreign secretary, 10 bridge the Franco Ger man differences, Therefore, he thinks 1t all the more necessary that the proposal for direct conversations between the foreign secretaries at Geneva in September should mate- rialize.
 The Westminster Gazette thinks it possible that the German foreign secretary, Dr. Stresemann will be invited 10 join the discussion.

WITTNER'S OATH
 MAY BE ILLEGAL
Dropped "So Help Me God"
 When Taking Office ss

Washington. July 2S U,-whne Loren II, Wittner and his counsel .r. quietly preparing to press his su,t here to throw the evolution issue in- to the federal courts, the spotlight o' notoriety is relen;lessly pursuing the champion Of science into ths precincts of his government employ- ment.
 In addition to bringing to light mat Wlttner, an avowed atheist. mas on three occasions stricken Ont the phrase 50 help me God" In talk Ing the required oath as a govern. ment employe and thus raising A question as tc the legal status of his present employment, the attaching notoriety is causing complications in his effort to do a days work at the treasury.
 Wittner's superiors in the office At first took liberal attitude toward the deluge of newspaper photosra- rher and other callers that descend cd upon him when he leaped into
  the limelight by filing his injunction suit to test a provision of the Dis trlc of Columbia appropriation bill against teaching "disrespett" to the Bible. But the avalanche of visitors and telephone calls finally reached the point where a sharp curtailment of the privilege has been ordered by the office head.
 Whether or not the form of oath taken by Wittner affects the legal status of his employment, is a ques- ton which has been referred to the solicitor of the department for an opinion. II finally may 70 to the attorney general for his opinion.
 Since Wittner brings his court &C., ton on the evolution question as q taxpayer, however. the question of the oath has no bearing on the suit which he is preparing to press when II comes up for hearing next Tues day.

 The riier 10 the pis,wct oy Col Hmha appropriation bill which Wluncr seized upon 10 bring his action in the District of Columbia supreme court Is certain to be re- ported in the new supply measure for tho Washington government and so will form the vehicle for congressional debate.
 The view ot Somo congressman is that both the ovoluuonts's and tundamentaIste will marshall forces for congression1. discussion. Should such be tho case inc issue would be fairly joined in congress, which win be called upon to determine whether the teaching Of tho evolution theory Is in fact in conflict with the tcach- ings of the Bible.
 Find Irrcgularity
 While counsel for the govern ment and the District of Columbia went ahead yesterday with their reparauons 10 meet the Wittner suit for an injunction aimed to cut of the pay of Washington public school teachers who teach biology. somewhat of furry was created at the treasury by the disclosure that Wittner on three occasions has altered tho prescribed form of the oath he was required to take as government emp'oye.
 Examination of hjs employment papers revealed that he had marked out with pen the phrase 50 heIp mo God" at the end of the oath which all federal employees are re- 0uired 10 take. Treasury officials were surprised that this could hayn occurred three times without hoy- ing been detected hv those whoso duty if is to handle the employment papers.
