approved by the cabinet today.

Text to Be Sent Today
Text Of the French reply will be
communicated through Walter E.
Edge, United States ambassador, to
the state department in Washing
ton later today.
The French reply, a summary
shows, includes the following salient
points:
l. France agrees to waive for one
year the conditional annuities,.
2. The entire unconditional annu-
ity of 2,7750O0,000 francs ($11l, 00O,-
000), due France must be paid into
the bank for international settle
ments at Basic.
The Basic bank is to have sole
control over how the Sill 600, 600 is to
be distributed in credits to Germany
and other eastern European states
requiring financial aid.
May Turn Money Back
France, in other words, insists on
Germany's paying the unconditional
annuity during the years holiday,
but is willing to turn that money
back to Germany if the bank of
international settlements believes
Germany or other eastern European
countries need 1t.
The Young plan must be contin-
ued, the French reply stipulated.
but France is ready to waive the
conditional annuities for year, in
asmuch as America valves war
debts payments for that period.
The French government insists
that application of the Hoover plan
be limited to one year. after which
the bank for international settle
ments will resume usual payments
TO creditor powers of Germany's
unconditional annuities under the
Young plan.

The Cricket.

One Of the chummiest Of six-legged cre4eNre9
is the cricket. It likes mans society and u
never far distant from his house and fields.
Not that crickets are so much under foot
that they become nuisances, Like flies and mos"
quitoes They are as tirnid as they are friendly,
and though they prefer dwelling near human
beings they seldom make themselves known,
except by their chirping. They prefer to re-
main all day IN some crack Granny OF the
hearth, with only their little yellowy gray heads
protruding and they forage for crumbs OF food
at night.
The cricket is harmless. Too much OF his
chirping serenade annoys the housekeeper some
times but 1t has stirred many a would-be poet
to making a ditty, and superstitious people
gladly share the warmth of their hearth with
the little creature, because they believe that MS
presence viii bring the house good fortune.
Only the male crickets are musicians, ana
their f1ddling, which they managed by rubbing
their wing covers, is the love music by which
they WOO their mates.
Like that Of most insects, the eyesight OF
crickets is not very keen, though they are
