Toronto Paper Says Nearly 100 Per
Cent of Liquor Vessels Are
From Below Line.

BY the Associated Press.
TORONTO, July 20.-The Toronto
Globe published the following dispatch
from Ottawa today:
Canada has indicated to the United
States a method by which the illegal
transportation Of Canadian liquor into
the Republic may be curtailed. Conver-
sations with Washington are proceeding,
but no definite conclusion has been
reached.
It Is understood the Canadian gov
ernment is prepared to refuse clearances
to liquor laden vessels bound for the
United States, provided the navigation
laws of the Republic are amended with
respect to vessels under five tons, which
comprise the majority of liquor car
riers on the Detroit River.
U. S. Boats in Traffic.
Nearly 100 per cent of the boats carry
ing liquor and the persons engaged In
the traffic are from the United States.
The present United States navigation
law regarding registration, enrolment
or licensing does not apply to vessels
under five tons, whereas in Canada
every vessel irrespective Of size and
whether carrying cargo or not is obliged
by law to report when leaving for a
foreign port, and also when returning.
Heavy penalties are provided for failure
to comply with this law.
It Is felt by the Dominion authorities
that If the United SJaVes passed such
an amendment, there would be con-
troll over the movement Of the small
craft which is now lacking.
Refusal Believed Futile.
The Dominion officials also believe it
would be futile to refuse clearances from
Canada until the United States does
pass such legislation, as the motor boats
and other small vessels carrying liquor
would be able to take on cargo at
any cove along the Great Lakes or
the Detroit River and cross to the
United States side without reporting
to the Canadian customs officers or
It Is suggested here that the rum
running traffic can be dealt knock
out blow by concurrent legislation at
Washington and Ottawa.

MAY VOTE TODAY
ON DEBT ACCORDS
French Government Decides
Protracted Debate on Rati-
fication Must End.
BY the Associated Press.


PARIS, July 20.-The government
has decided that an end must be made
to protracted debate on ratification of
the debt agreements with Great Britain
and the United States. There was even
possibility today a vote might come
on the agreement tonight.
The chamber of deputies therefore
will be asked, to formulate its reserva-
tions to ratification in resolution en-
tirely separate from the ratification
texts, to be voted upon prior to the
ratification measure.
Todays problem was to find text
for this resolution. The finance COM
mittee of the chamber yesterday re-
jected that offered by Deputy Deligne,
which had found favor with the govern
ment.
1t was understood, however, that the
government would urge its support of
M. Delignes strongly after the last
speakers have had their say In general
debate sometime this afternoon or to-
night. The impression in political cir
cles was a resolution will be adopted
which will permit the chamber to ratify
the debt agreements without further
ado.
Except In an unforeseen emergency,
Premier Poincare will not appear in
the chamber today. his physicians hAv-
ing advised against it. The govern
ment's case was in able hands neverthe-
less in the persons of Aristide BRAND,
Minister for foreign affairs and Sena-
tor Henri Cheron, Minister Of finance.

i. s. WINS DOUBLES
IN DAVIS CUP PLAY
Van Ryn and Allison Defeat
Germans After Losing
First Set.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July 20.-America's DASH
ing young doubles team made 1t three
victories in a row for the United States
against Germany here today, capturing
the clinching match from the German
pair Of Daniel Prem and Hans Mold
enhauer. 9-11, 60, 6-4, 6-3, and
thus giving America the right to meet
France in the Davis Cup challenge
round.
Johnny Van Ryn and Wilmer ALI
son, fulfilling the hopes Of their country
men, smashed through Germanys finest
pair in impressive fashion after slow
start which lost them the opening set
Gaining strength and confidence
with every stroke they swept the Ger
mans of their feet in the last three
sets to win as Bill Tilden and Frank
Hunter had done in the opening sin
giles Of the interzone final the day be-
fore.
No matter what the outcome Of the
remaining singles matches tomorrow,
the United States now will be the chal-
lenging nation against the French in
the battle for the cup next week end
In Paris.
This will be the fifth straight time
that France and the United States
have met La the challenge round.
America had been favored to come
through but in the light Of Germany's
great showing against England there
had been slight expectation of a victory
in three straight matches.
The rout began when Tilden trounced
Hans Moldenhauer yesterday in three
successive sets and Hunter downed the
formidable Prem in four sets. Tomor-
rows matches in which Tilden en-
counters Prem and Hunter meets Mol
denhauer now will be virtually exhibi-
tions with no bearing upon the outcome
of the contest except to determine
whether Germany is to be shut out
without a point.
