FRENCH WANT GERMANS KEPT ‘UNDER LEASH' Reluctance to Back Debt Holiday Reflects Deep Apprehension. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripot-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, June 25.—Prance's reluctance to fall in with the rest of the powers behind President Hoover’s reparations and war debts holiday is due to three major considerations. First, she is convinced Germany can pay and that an unconditional moratorium will endanger the Young plan’s future by encouraging the reich to continue the fiscal extravagances against which it has been warned repeatedly. Second, she is determined to find a way to force Germany to abandon the Austro-German customs union, of which she is deathly afraid because she sees in it a thinly disguised political union or German annexation. Eyes Arms Conference Third, fearful of what might happen at the world arms conference at Geneva next February, France would like to get Germany’s promise not to take any drastic stand there, such as a demand that France scale down to Germany’s strength or permit Germany to build up to hers. France takes the position that most of Germany's woes are due to politics, rabid nationalism and financial mismanagement—in at least one of which she is upheld by the American, S. Parker Gilbert, former agent general for reparations payments. “The rising level of public expenditures is already giving artificial stimulus to economic life,” he repeatedly told the government, “and it threatens to undermine the essential stability of the public finances. Sees Prophecy Come True “If present tendencies are allowed to continue unchecked,” he warned bluntly, “the consequence is almost certain to be serious economic reaction and depression, and a severe shock to German credit at home and abroad.” What is now happening inside the reich, the French hold, is merely the Gilbert prophecy coming true. Industries are handsomely subsidized as are whole classes of people, societies and institutions of all shapes and sizes. Agreeing with the American, they eay that unless these tendencies are checked the Young plan may even now be considered as good as scrapped. Want Abuses Checked Somehow, some way and as early as possible, the French want to see these abuses, along with what they feel to be an increasingly dangerous nationalism in Germany, checked. Unless she considers the personal equation involved—that is to say, the German people—a little more closely, however, the disaster she fears may be precipitated by ah attempt to forestall it. So desperate are the masses reported to be—due to unemployment, low wages, high cost of living, high taxes and other burdens resulting from the war—that the government ■would hardly dare be less generous with its aid. There might be revolution.

REACH MARBLES FINALS Two Kentucky Youngsters to Meet Friday for Championship. By Time* Special OCEAN CITY, N. J., June 25. Two “half pint” youngsters from Kentucky, both of whom are 12 years old and live but eighty miles apart, will fight it out for the national mibs crown here Friday afternoon. One is handsome little Harley Corum of Louisville, who was forced into two play-offs Wednesday before winning his league. The other is the pugilistic and freckled-nosed John Jeffries of Greenville. Both nosed out opponents by one game. The finals Friday will be broadcast over WBBM of Chicago or WLAC of Tennessee, beginning at 11 Indianapolis time. WHEN YOU GET INDIGESTION Here Is Safe, Speedy Relief If you ever have gas, flatulence, uncomfortable “fullness” after meals, or your stomach burns after eating, don’t just wait for the discomfort to pass off. Digestive trouble is nearly always due to excess acid in the stomach which interrupts digestion, ferments food, attacks the stomach lining and may in time be followed by dangerous stomach ulcers. You can avdid this danger and promptly relieve discomfort by taking a little “Bisurated” Magnesia—either powder or tablets—after meals or whenever pain is felt. Excess acid is instantly neutralized, fermentation stops, gas is dispersed, pain disappears and the sore inflamed stomach lining is soothed and strengthened. Indigestion, however mild, should never be ignored, and sufferers should follow the practice of thousands all over the world, by getting a sealed package of “Bisurated” Magnesia from Hook Drug Cos., or the nearest drug store. Its use means complete stomach ease and freedom from acid indigestion.—Advertisement.

day that he thinks he now is “the victim of persecution rather than prosecution,” that “the tide has turned.” The persecution, he said, has reacted gTeatly to his favor. The interview took place in the garden of Pantages’ extensive estate. He was nervous as always. He spoke with his customary vigor and his words were accompanied by gesticulations. “The persecution has made me popular,” he said. “I’m going to win the remaining cases. After that I'm going to go back in the show business on a big scale.” Before he can continue his “big scale operations” Pantages must go to court three times more, at least. His first appearance will be at his re-trial in San Diego on charges that he conspired to contribute to the delinquency of a minor girl. Later, he faces re-trial in Los Angeles on the charge that he assaulted 17-year-old Eunice Pringle, and then he also must defend himself against a $1,000,000 damage suit brought by Miss Pringle.
