PEKING, August 2.-The allied
armies of Marshals Chang Tso-Lin and
WI Pei.Fu are increasing their
forces In the Dolon.Nor section in
Chihli Province, to which much i'm
portance is attached. The stalemate
that has existed on the Nankow front
following the recent detection of two
brigades of allied troops, necessitating
the shifting of commanders and re-
alignment of forces, is believed here
to indicate that the allies realize the
futility of renewing an attack on Nan

ment is looked for in the Dolon-Nor
region.
There is lack of definite news, with
both sides claiming satisfactory prog
ress. 1t seems apparent there is no

SCHEME |NDORSED
Cabinet Also Approves Plan
to Repay Bonds-Debt
Accords Not SheIved.
By the Associatad press

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, August 2.-The cabinet to.
day approved Premier Poincare's pro-
posal for an autonomous repayment
fund for national defense bonds and
for cession of the tobacco monopoly
to a French corporation under gov
ernment control.
When Parliment has voted provi.
sions for the autonomous fund, the
government proposes that both
chambers shall meet at Versailles in
national assembly to make the law
part of the constitution. The assem-
bly, is not expected to meet before
August 10.
Debt Pacts May Come Up.
The debt settlements between
France and the United States and
between France and Great Britain
now appear likely to come up for
ratification by the French Parliament
during the present month before the
Summer recess. Ever growing oppo-
sition of financiers, as reflected by
the press, to shelving the Washing
ton and London funding agreements
until October, apparently has caused
Premier Polncare TO recede from his
ton of mo immedite ratification.
A communique issued by the semi
official Havas agency last night. evil
IDENTIFY inspired by the government, is
authority for their statements, the
communique reads in part:
Information published in an eve-
ming paper attributing to the premier

lean and British agreements con-
cerning French debts is groundiess.

"On the contrary, NJ. Poincare In

voted to have an exchange OF views
concerning the interaiied debts with
the finance and foreign affairs, com
mittees of the Chamber and Senate,
which already had been asked official

ments."
The newspaper statement to which
the communique refers has an edl-
torial by the Journal des Debats, say
ing, among other things:
Adjournment of ratification of the
debt agreements for a long time is
regrettable from all angles, and from
the viewpoint of our immediate needs
is useless The conditions offered 'by
the United States in settlement of our
debt will not have changed in a few
months; the American Constitution is
against it. Nobody, not even Presi.t

The inclusion of a tax on foreign
ers ia Premier Poincare's bill, voted
by the Chamber, caused a certain
amount of surprise. Identity cards
and renewals of such cards every two
years will now cost foreigners ais
francs. instead of the present IS. Stu
dent and journalists will pay 40
francs, while foreign volunteers who
served in the French army during the
war are exempt from any fee what

made contingent on abandonment of

quiring every foreigner to pay a fee
upon entering the country.
