PARIS, December 2S-Debt discus
sions are regarded by both American
and French official circles as closed now
until March 4. unless some new circum-
stances intervene.
United States Ambassador Edge will
see Premier Paul-Boncour at diplo-
matte reception on Saturday morning
and will have a chance to exchange
few words Of greeting. but 1t is not ex-
pected that he will transmit any further
word from Washington.
It is now felt that it is unnecessary
to transmit information received from
Washington which is essentially in the
nature of information for the embassy.
Secretary Stimson's latest word was
conveyed to Ambassador Claudel at
WASHINGTON direct and it was not felt
necessary that Mr.. Edge take further
action.

The normal return visit by Mr.. Edge

Frances unpaid debt to the United
States forged to the front again today
as a matter for discussion on the floor
of the Chamber of Deputies. The &C.

probably will continue tomorrow, on the
proposed French loan to Austria
Speaking privately deputies already

the refusal to pay the United States.
For two Weaks-since the historic early
morning vote, December IA, against the
debt payment-thc Chamber has Deen
silent on the American issue.
May Seek Reversal.
Premier Pau,-Boncour was believed
ready at last to take the Initiative IN
an effort to persuade the Chamber 10
reverse its stand.
The Chamber listened silently to the
prsmier's promise last week, when max
Ing his bow as head OF the government,
to follow the course set out by the
Chambers vote in negotiating with the
United States. The Chamber voted
against payment before assurances that
a new debt conference would be held.
Prominent political leaders did not
believe Secretary Stimson closed the
door to ordinary diplomatic discussions
looking toward clearing the ground Tor
later negotiations But they were still
convinced nothing definite could be
hoped for from the United States until
after the Democratic administration
takes Office in March, and without some
sort of action from the United States
as justification, they were sure the
Chamber would not change its attitude.
Frances share of the loan to restore
Austria's financial status would be about

S43.O0O,O0O. This sum has been recon-
mended by the League of Nations with
the condition that Austria does not
attempt to revive its Inflated customs

LITTLE COMMON GROUND SEEN.
Diplomatic Truce for Two Months Is
Believed Inevitable.
RY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

BY Cable to The Star
PARIS, France, December 28.-
Hopes Of finding a formula permitting
France to pay its defaulted December
war debt installment to the United
States apparently vanished today The
French position of talk first and pay
afterward" and the American position
of pay first and talk afterward" seem
to offer no common ground.
Walter E. Edge. American ambassa-
dor to France, it is expected, will
reiterate to French Premier Joseph
Paul -Boncour Washington's viewpoint
when he returns to Paris from London
on Friday Paul Claudel, French am
bassadcr to the Unitkd States, has al
ready reiterated thes Paris viewpoint
to Henry L. Stimson, American Sec
retary of State, adding that France
thinks it best now to postpone negotia-
tions until after March 4.
Diplomatic Truce Seen.
In this situation American diplomacy
appears to be temporarily paralyzed, and
a two-morth international diplomatic
truce seems inevitable. Unless means
can be found whereby some one is au-
thorlzed to speak with responsibility
for the incoming American administra-
ton. American diplomats, it IS said,
might as well take a long vacation.
This. it is believed, is the meaning
of Ambassador Andrew w. Melons re-
ported intention of resigning his London
post in the near future. Whether there
will be other similar designations in
the American foreign service is per-
haps on open question.
The opinion is rapidly spreading in
Europe that, as LEcho de Paris says
today. American policy has gone to
sleep until March A.

PARIS TO PRESERVE
VOICES OF VENDORS
Once Famous Street Cries, Now

Special dispatch to The Star
PARIS. June 16 (NANA.). Now
that the once famous street cries OF
Paris are about to vanish quite out of
hearing. an eleventh-hour attempt is be-
ing made to catch and register their
last echoes on phonograph records.
Only in the quiet old quarters Of the
capital can the criers be heard at all,
and officially they are banned even
there. classed among the unnecessary
noises"
The picturesque little traders Of old
Paris that for so many years cried their
business as they went afoot through
the city have been disappearing little
by little. The clarion call CT the once
celebrated water merchant is now no
more than souvenir of grandmamma' s
days, and the goat-herd with his little
troop has long been relegated to the by
ways.
Need No Bell.
Cries that really may be described as
noises" are those of the clothes sellers.
Old clothes. for either sex, have been
sung with full-throated vigor, for clothes
are wanted by the tenants of fifth and
sixth floors as we'll as ground floor
dwellers, and the melodious .. chand

by the knife grinders

meeaphone OF his hanos. The mender
OF crockery and porcelain, on the other
hand, has ever relied in part upon his
little copper trumpet, playing the same
little tune day in and day out.
Some Of the voices of these itinerant
tradesmen are musical and charming.
There are ''old clothes" ladies both So
prano and contralto, grinders and
GLACIERS in graceful tenor and rich bari
tone. II it were not SO, Charpentier

Now their artistic value has been en-
HANGED by the historic interest of some

soft, musical and otherwise. as noises"
has made place for them in the In
stitute of Phonetics, in whose archives
the phonograph records Of the street
cries will be treasured. An appeal has
been made to criers who though they
no longer cry. have not forgotten their
art to come forward and make records
for poSterity.
Meanwhile. let the traveller who finds
himself in the older quarters Of Paris
pause in his walk if he meet the goat
herd with his little pipe in the early
morning or the "reparateur &c faience
ct de porcelaine." Let him note the
call Of "vitriers :" and remember
-. chand dhabits." for these things
are passing into history.
