FRANCE Will
SEND ENJOYS
TO DEBT MEET
Mellon Announcement Says
French Commission Will
Sail Sept. Is

Washingt on. Aug. 2O.-tR-A terse
announcement from Secretary Mellon
that French commissioners empow
cred to negotiate a plan for funding
their nations war debt to the Unit
ed States would sail Sept. Is. fol-
lowed yesterday on the heels Of the
Belgian settlement made Tuesday.
Otherwise. there was no official
statement on the funding situation.
though pencils, official and unof-
ficial, were kept busy at calculations
touching the subject.
Members of the American debt
commission expressed convictions
that the Belgian settlement had been
in a way associated with the French
approach. but there was consider
able variance Of opinion as to its eff
feet upon French and Italian senti-
ment.
Large sums of interest, accrued
and to accrue. were thrown off the
Belgian account. in that agreement,
and loans made during the actual
fighting were made subject to no
interest charges because of under
standings that nations repre- esenta-
tives had with the late President
Wilson. The Belgian cabinet and
parliament and the United States
congress must yet ratify the settle
ment to make it valid, but the i'm
preston grew today that these rati-
fications we're regarded in respon-
sible quarters as being assured
The reaction in congress to the
Belgian settlement, which must have
the approval of both senate and
house before it can become effective
remains to be developed.

daughter of perfume manufacturer,
have agreed to separate.
The wreck of one of Hollywood's
dearest romances was announced ear

sized that the rocks were nicely
cushioned.
The separation is entirely friend
ly, Mr.. Gilman said, there being no
idea of divorce. no agreement for
alimony, but merely the desire of
two artists to pursue their own tai
ents in different directions. He
added. however, that he did not see
how it was possible for either of
them to run home after the publicity
which is destined to be given the
announcement. Both will continue

Harvesting of wheat, rye. oats, and

further advanced than usual and
about 20 percent completed. Yields
of barley are running unusually we'll.
Oats vary more but average good with
high yields in places. Quality. while
affected some by drought and heat,
is reported fair.
Corn has not received sufficient

have afforded temporary relief. Parts
of the lower eastern section and mid

material damage owing to dry weather
since mid July. Other parts Of the
heavy corn area began to show effects

Early threshing returns show flax
yielding light on the average though
returns for part of the early crop,
IN the northeastern section particu-
larly, appear favorable. Late flax has
not progressed favorably over much
of the state owing TO the dry soil
conditions. Drouth has also caused
decline in the potato crop prospects.
