By United Preaa * CHICAGO, Aug." 10. —’The wet issue will be one of the commanding pictures before many middle-west-ern voters this fall, recent primaries have disclosed. Illinois commands the greatest interest. There George Brennan, a Democratic chief of the old school, will ask election to the Senate on a purely wet platform. He is opposed by Frank L. Smith, Republican, who has the support of tVe State Anti-Saloon League. Missouri's wet champion is Harrry Hawes, representative from St. Louis,, who i? the Democratic nominee. Opposed to him will be Senator George H. Williams, also of St. Louis. Hawes favors modification of the Eighteenth Amendment ‘“within the law." Williams, although personally a “wet,” believes In strict enforcement of the dry laws. - \ In Wisconsin The Wisconsin primaries art\ next month, and while prohibition is one of the minor Issues, It appears that a wet and dry vote will be probable in the November elections. Seeking the Republican nomination to the Senate In Wisconsin are Gov. John J. Blaine, a La Follette man who has always beeA considered “wet" but who has remained silent on the Issue In this campaign; Senator Irvine Lenroot., who fa vers a State referendum and Fran hr J. Kelly, a decided wet. Thomas H. • Kearney Is tlje Democratic candidate in Wisconsin and he favors a State conventmn on the prohibition question. In the other middle-western States •where the November senatorial fights are expected to attract great Interest, the Wet an<f Dry Issue is quiet. Neither Indiana nor lowa voters will be faced "with this question to any great extent as the chief Issue In thoee two States is farm relief with the World Court coming second.

‘TIGER’ EXPLAINS' WHY HE WROTE (Continued From Page 1) I have nothing against the bankers, but their commission Is a question of business just as measurement is a question for the trade of tailors. Frank Toward England “I could have said many other things, but I wanted to say only what I did say. I was frank, also, toward England and how she played Germany against France. Now, It is the same thing regarding debts. We hepr that America is coming to be greatly disliked in England and now It is France. That is bad." The old man was talking In a room which overlooks the sea, as do all the rooms, of his small home. Later we went to his flower garden". Were ltj not for the excellent furniture, /he books and souvenirs of his active life indicative of Clemenceau's culture and powerful mind, the “Tiger's” home might be taken for that of a mere peasant’s. Wonderful Health Clemeneeau received me dressed in a gray sack suit, white canvas shoes, the inevitable black string tie. gray gloves and a curiously designed skull cap. remindful of the caps worn by the warring Pollus. The old man’s health was marvelous to see. His face was sun burned and his eyes obviously registered the things around him with. the clearest vision.“But no political Interview," warned the “Tiger" when I made known by mission. I promised, and for that reason many things that he said canpot be repeated. “It was funny that once I had written the letter, I had so hard’a time sending It off,” Clemeneeau said. y ' “Here T am far away from modern civilization and virtually alone. I thought to go to Paris, but I am not so vigorous as I used to be. I didn’t send the letter direct to President Coolidge by mail because it might have been too late and I would have had to telegraph it, which would have been impracticable. So I telegraphed to a friend on a French news agency.” Clemeneeau' emphasized that he expected no reply to his letter and that It was not designed to bring a reply. Questioned regarding his own ideas for solving the debt problems. he said: “I won't say' what thoughts I have. I have my Ideas but for me to anrfounce them would be to put myself before the Government.” Referring to certain passages In the letter and to the present policy regarding debts and foreign loans, the “Tiger” said that such loans "would be the end of France?” He disliked to talk about politics, and I know that he feels that if he had remained 1q power and affairs had gone so badly he couldn't have continued to live. Was Very Tired “I did not ask to .remain In power,” Clemeneeau sSld relative to his removal from office, "because I was very tired. For " eighteen months after leaving office I did not look at a newspaper. Since then I have been working on my books. You can say that the past five years have been the most beautiful of my life.”

Britain Back of Demonstration? By William PhHip Simms Foreign Editor Seripps-Howard Newspapers. VERSAILLES. aV 10.—As always in her most critical hours, France today has turned to Versailles for the decision. Here the dazzling Louis’ strutted in all their glittering glory; here Germany put her heel on prostrate France and proclaimed herself an empire; here seven years ago France victorious, summoned that self-same Germany to acknowledge defeat, and here today, for the first time in rqore than forty years, France has convened a national assembly In extraordinary session. The assembly meets to save the franc from collapse and France from disaster. The Question _ The question is, can France save herself by her efforts alone? I have Just completed a survey of European conditions, taking me as far east as Moscow. My most outstanding impression is that while France urgently needs to put her own house in order, her salvation ultimately depends equally on wha? happens outside her borders. Europe Is like a house of cards. Shake one and all totter. France is unable to pay unless Germany pays. Germany Is unable to pay unless Europe* quickly returns to normal]} German prosperity Is largely depend ent on eastern flu rope, particularly .Russia, and I gee little prospect of Immediate normalcy there. Two hence the maximum Dawes pWi payment is due from Germany,

amounting to 2,250,000,000 gold marks. This year she is paying less than half that amount, yet there is already a wide and growing demand for revision of the Dawes plan. Pindh Foreseen Furthermore, as the reparations payments increase it will he necessary for the Allies to take Increasing amounts in goods. But the stabilization of the franc, for which the assembly here today is paving the way, is bound to produce a pinch, as It has in every country where tlie sarh* thing has been done. This will tend tn reduce, rather than increase, fence's capacity to absorb foreign goods. Lastly, British intrigue will not cease pntil the war are settled to her advantage. British propaganda is largely responsible for the worldwide wave o<f anti-Americanism. Washington has stupidly played Into' her hands by publicly pretending to be a Shylock, while privately generously cancelling half the debts due America. Ultimately America will be unable tq-, resist the universal pressure for revision. Indeed. America will realize that it will be to her own interest to take the lead and clear the atmosphere of a misunderstanding that is dangerous to her prosperity if not her peace. The one third of a billion drop in American export* Just reported by Hoover is not unrelated to the situation. are that despite France's most sincere efforts or those of Germany, the next thirty, six months will see a conference in Washington or elsewhere to deal with world economics, debts and related problems. * U. S. Can Ask $407,000,000 By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. lA—While the French ]lebt tangle was in the spotlight today, treasury officials prepared to reeume negotiations with Greece for settlement of her $16,000,. 000 war obligation. The Grecian debt commission returned home three months ago with word that the United States could not advance $33,000,000 additional credit. American debt experts expect further word from Greece soon looking toward liquidating the Indebtedness. Meantime. Government officials displayed resentment at Frances attitude toward funding her debt.. It was pointed out that under the Mel-lon-Berenger settlement the prearmistice , French obligation of $7,970,000 had been virtually cancelled and the agreement based on the post armistice debt of $963,175,000.

If France Refuges) Should France fail to ratify the debt pact, the United States is In a position to demand $407,000,000 from the debtor country in 1929. After the war France bought $407,000,000 worth <L>f war supplies from America and this, commercial debt falls due in 1929. At present It is embodied in the debt agreement, but should this pact not be ratified, the French would have to pay up when the note fell c}ue Instead of fundihg It with the other debts over sixty-two years. . Ratification of th.s Franco-Ameri-can debt agreement and a settlement with Greece would prarilcally settle all of America's outstanding war credits. Armenia's Debt Cancelled v The treasury has wiped Armenia’s obligation off its books, as it is no loqger a country since the. United States does not recognize Russia that nation's debt cannot be the subject of any immediate action. Austria has a moratorium, but Is expects*, to open negotiations for funding Its debt within the next few years. Nicaragua is paying off its debt at the rate of $6,000. a month.

If the national assembly adopts the measure, it will have been put beyond the reach of subsequent parliamentary tinkering. The session was noisy and disorderly. The Communist deputy, La Font, took the opportunity to demand complete revision of the constitution, and shouted “Down with the dictatorship.” He was repudiated by a vote of 525 to 312 and tjje government proposals for selecting a committee to report the project was adopted.

tests that things were moving too rapidly. The Socialists had hoped that the assembly might act to reduce the powers of the Senate, which they insist is reactionary. There seemed to be no possibility of such a reduction. that there would be no chance to thirty-five anything done if the Socialists were permitted to continue their talk. An amendment was adopted limiting discussion of questions not on the agenda to thirty •minutes, divided equally between two opposing speakers.

SCRIPPS ESTATE CLAIM IS TILED \ ' Seek $10,107,334, Alleged .Share of Dead Son. , By United Preaa NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—John H. Perry, attorney representing Mrs. Josephine Scripps of Miramar, da!., today announced here that he had filed a claim at Hamilton, Ohio, against the estate of the late E. W. Scripps, founder of the ScrippsHoward newspapers. The claim asserts that $10,107,334 is due the estate of the late James G. Scripps from that of his father, E. W. Scripps. It is based on an alleged agreement made by the elder his sons, James and John, now dead, —by which they would receive 50 percent of the profits and increments of the Scripps enterprises from 1908 when James became manager of the Scripps newspaper. For two years after the alleged agreement was made, the divisions provided for -were paid. It is stated, and then the father decided to discontinue them. , Perry alleges that during James Scripps’■ management of the properties, they increased in value $25,000.000. The E. W. Scripps estate, under the terms of the publisher's will, was left In trust with Robert P. Scrippe, a third and only surviving son at, executor. / HOT WEATHER FICTION' Scripps Counsel Knows Nothing About Claim. By United Preaa BOSTON, Aug. 10.—When asked for a statement regarding the ten million dollars claim filed against the E. W. Scripps estate at Hamilton, Ohio, Thomaa L. Sldlo, general counsel and controller of ScrippsHoward concern, aaid here today: “All I know about the claim is what J have read in the newspapers —that a claim for ten million dollars was filed. That is a fairly large sum of money, but this Is the season for hot weather fiction. ‘"riie claim has never been presented to Robert P. Scripps, who is the executor of the E. W. Scripps estate and sole representative a©d trustee of E. W. Scripps. Nor was the claim, to my knowledge, ever presented to E. W. Scripps during his life time. In any case this claim can have no effect upon the present management and control of the Scrlpps-Hovvard concern, which management and control were established by E. W. Scripps several years before his death.” Detroit Gets Taste of Chicago-itis By United Preaa DETROIT, Aug. 10.—Feuds in Detroit’s underworld were blamed today for two apparent murders, a double shooting and the unexplained discharge of a fusillade of shots from a speeding automobile here last night.

ART PLAYS HARD AFTER LABOR IN SUMMER COLONY Celebrities Gather Every at Picturesque McDowell Retreat. By NBA Service PETERBORO, N. H., Aug. 10.— Up here in art’s summer home —at the far-famed “MacDowell Colony” —the discovery is made that Edwin Arlington Robinson not only is one of America's foremost poets, but also Is an earnest and Inaccurate pool player. As for Frances Newman, of Atlanta. short-story writing luminary —her favorite diversion Is charades. And Thornton Wilder, playwright—he spends much leisure time Impersonating an armadillo at his “dlllo-ing.” Musician Heads It Art’s celebrities gather in picturesque assembly at the MacDbwell Colony each summer. Mrs. Edward MacDowell, noted musician, is the head of It. Primarily the colony is & group of workshops. Private studios are hidden away in 600 acres of woods. After breakfast, each artists repairs to his own shelter, safe from interruption for at least eight hours. At noon, a truck drives up to the door and a light lunch Is deposited on the step. Driver's Lips Padlocked If the driver has any views on the weather or other popular topic, he keeps them strictly to himself. If there are any teJephone messages, they are written on a slip of paper and placed In the lunch basket. The colonists may not even visit each other during working hours, save upon Invitation. The dullest, most unimaginative person cou’d not fail to feel the charm of so picturesque a setting, or to sense the spirit of creation which is upon the place. It was to foster creative talent In all branches of art that the colony was founded. MacDowell conceived it and his widow carried the plan out. MacDowell's thought was to provide artists with a summer home where they would be free, both from intrusion and from the many details which go to make up the bother of living. , An endowment helps keep the cost of summering at the oniony down to a nominal figure. The MacDowells wanted Its advantages to be contingent not upon financial condition of the artist, but upon the merit of his work. v * Mrs. MacDowell, one of the topmost figures in the musical world, gives concerts to Increase the available funds. * It’s in Colony Hall, after working hours, that the fun starts.
