PREMlERS IN FRANCE |
PUZZLE TO SULTAN
Moroccan Ruler Had to Send
Thanks to BRAND, Herriot and
Poincare on Visit.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, August 23.-The Sultan or
Morocco is back home again ana
doubtless often ponders over the I'M
expected mysteries he ran into during
his visit to France.
For instance, before leaving Fez'
his guardian providence, High Com
missioner Stegg impressed on him the
necessity of sending his thanks to
Premier BRAND by the representa-.
tives of the government who would
meet him at Marseilles. The Sultan
did not forget his. lesson, either at
Marseilles or latch when reaching
Paris The phrase had become quite
second nature by the time he reached
Nancy. but there his master of
ceremonies nudged him and whispered
"Herriot.'
Mystified. but obedient, the Sultan
rectified his little speech and sent his
gratitude to Premier BRAND and
Premier Herriot'' He laid the new
formula away in his memory and
brought it out again when he got
back to Paris But this time. to his
confusion, the master Of ceremonies
again prompted him with "Poincare.'
The Sultan added the new premier
as recipient of his thanks. and then
turning to his aide, remarked: That's
the last, / hope. now"

BELGIUM SEEKING
BIG BRITISH LOANS
100000 Expected to
Stabilize Franc and Re-
pay National Bank.
By the Associated Press.


BRUSSELS. August 23.-The Bel
gian government hopes to stabilize the
franc somewhere in the neighborhood
of $50 to the pound sterling. and to
that end has begun negotiations with
British bankers for credits of from
fl0.000,000 to f12,000,000, it was
learned today.
Similar negotiations in the United
States are SAID to have been dropped
because of unfavorable conditions in
the New York markets.
Reimbursement of the National
Bank of Belgium with $500, 900 900
francs is said to be one Of the govern
ments new proposals. This would en-
able important reduction in the circu-
lation of the bank and provide the
means to give certain gold guarantees
on outstanding notes.
While much depends upon the
French sterilization program, it is
said the Belgian government may act
independently if French sterilization
is deferred.

CAPE Girls NEZ, France. Aug.
20.-Lillian Cannon of Baltimore was
ready to attempt to swim across the
English channel. but a strong wind
and heavy seas forced postponement.
She said she would start at the first
favorable opportunity.
Lillian has received numerous ca
Diagrams from the United States urg'

woman but Gertrude Ederle.
The swimming colony here, includ-
ing Lillian, still is angry about the
British criticism of Gertrudes sue

she regarded her rivals success as
gallant and sportsmanlike effort,
although British newspapers had in

FORT FIGHTS
Forbes to Box Ate, Click to

Changes have been made in the
fistic card to be staged at FIT.

rearranged by Captain Clark. match
maker is as follows:

ONO; l%5 pounds.
1853 pounds.
This card looks better than the
original lineup. Chuck Virgins
was slated to box the veteran JEFF
Smith in the main go, but Ray AL
Wis. Wiggin' s. manager, evidently de-
cided Smith would make a poor
match for the Hoosier champion
and he requested another opponent
be obtained. Captain Clark decided
It was too late to make a substitu-
ton and he dropped Virgins and
Smith from the card. Jim Mahoney,
Chicago, and "Walloping Wop,"
Louisville, also were dropped.
The new double wind.up was
arranged after an all-night Job of
long-distance telephoning and tele-
graphing on the part Of Captain
Clark, and It is believed the new
program will prove more attractive
to the fans than the original card.
Harry Forbes surprised the
customers last Wednesday night in
the punch bowl" by outpointing
Ray Rychell, and there were many
suggestions made during this scrap
that Forbes should be matched
against Merle. and when Alte was
communicated with Thursday eve
ming he agreed to make 122 pounds
for the match. Forbes will weigh
about 119.
