Big Seaplane NOWPA.DOrfT LETHIM- -j GET AWAV f"ROM Washington The American counter proposal for funding the French debt has been laid before the French debt Commission and from indications it was very disappointing to the French. After consulting President Cool- idge at the cabinet meeting and then with his debt commission colleagues in a private meeting Secretary of the Treasury Mellon laid the proposal before Finance Minister Caillaux in a brief session. The French mission, headed by Caillaux, spent only thirteen minutes with the American commissioners, as soon as the being dismissed counter offer had been read and then handed to them. As the French delegates filed out of the room, disappointment was plainly written on their faces. They seemed downcast at what appeared to be flat rejection of their first terms and the stiff agreement proposed by the Americans. The American concommission tinued in session for a short while after the French left. Undersecretary of the Treasury Winston said after the French left that the negotiations "were proceeding in the usual manner of the offer and counter offer." He added, however, that there was no sign of a break up of the negotiations, and that as a consequence all continued harmonious. No official version of the experts estimated that the Americans would demand at least 1120,000,000 a year, after an initial period of reduced payments and, furthermore, informed the French that the period of reduced payments which the French proposed was completely out of harmony with American ideas on the subject. The French offer contemplated international payments of not more than $90,000,000 at the highest, but an initial period of twelve years reduced payments, ranging from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000. A flexible provision also was included stipulating that France should have the right to seek revision of the debt settlement trrms of unforseen conditions adversely affect her future capacity to pay. The Caillaux proposal, submitted at the first session of the two commissions. Is regarded by some members of the commission as unsatisfactory, but Secretary of the Treasury Mellon Is having it carefully studied by experts In connection with voluminous data bearing on the French capacity to pay. Outside of the congressional group on the debt body, there is no disposition lo feel that the negotiations have come to an Impasse at the outset and it may be said that this group Is habitually pessimistic In the debt negotiations, having predicted the collapse of the lielgian a few negotiations hours before the Belgian agreement was signed.

SION ON THE SHENANDOAH WHEN CRASH CAME Barograph Shows How Dirigible Corv tested Heavy Winds For Half Hour Before Being Overcome In Air Lakehurst, N. J. A failure of two of the engines of the Shenandoah probably was. a primary cause of the destruction of the ship, in the opinion of Colonel C. O. Hallt army observer on board during the fatal flights, as given here to the naval court of inquiry. Had all of the engines been functioning, Colonel Hall said, it would have been more probable that the great airship would not have been drawn ino the vortex of the storm which wrecked her. "I do not believe, however, that engine power had anything to do with the situation after we got into the vortex of the storm," he said. The Shenandoah fought the line squall in Ohio. September 3 for at least half an hour before she broke up, the barograph instrument record introduced before the naval court of inquiry, sljows. ' This record establishes that the ship began its first rapid ascent at 4:26 a. m., central time, rising from an altitude of 1850 feet to an altitude of 2980 feet in eight minutes. The craft then leveled off, but two minutes later at 4:36, fhe shot up almost like a rocket from 3016 feel to 6065 in approximately ten min utes. Her ascent halted at this altitudo at 4:40 a. m. The Shenandoah then fell abruptly 1765 feet in three min utes, bringing up at an altitude of 4280 feet. Washington In all the American discussion of French conditions, a discussion whieh is inevitable just now in view of the debt negotiation, there is in certain quarters a tendency to do something less than justice to the French in the matter of Morocco, says-FranH. Simonds. Thus it is asserted that the very fact that France is carrying on an expensive war against the Riffs is an evidence either of French financial strength or of a refusal to take an obvious opportunity to retrench by abandoning this operation. Moreover, in certain other quarters one meets the assertion that save as a matter of prestige the Moroccan venture is sheer waste, unprofitable imperialism. Of course it is unfair to begin with the assumption that because a nation is heavily financially involved, it must adandon the defense of its interests. At the close of the Civil war the United States was in a frightful financial situation, yet It did not hesitate to mobilize a large army and make perfectly clear to Napoleon III that he must withdraw his support of the tinsel empire of Maximilian in Mexico or we should take up arms. Neither debt nor any other consid-3ratio- n was permitted to interfere with the protection cf what we regarded as a vital interest. The French situation is somewhat France landed in North analagous. Africa almost a century ago. Since that time she has created one of the most flourishing of colonial establishments, which was extended to Tunis in 1881 and to Morocco in 1911. Within this territory she has settled upwards of a million Europeans, constructed railways and highways, Casablanca, her great post in Morocco, for example, is today a city of upwards of 100,000 inhabitants, "half of them Europeans, with a magnificent new harbor, splendid buildings and a rapidly expanding railway net. Inevitably the organization of the French rule In Algeria, in Tunis and now in Morocco, has been accompanied by native rebellions. Our own experience In the Philippines and Innumerable British experiences have demonstrated that this is an ever recurring phenomenon. The real conquest of Algeria covered several decades, while the last considerable native rising followed the Franco-Prussiawar in 1S70. Thereafter for more than half a century there has been peace and ever mounting prosperity in Algeria. Were France to abandon her Moroccan venture she would Inevitably lose Algeria and Tunis in due course of time, because the unmistakable evidence of her weakness would incite the victorious Moroccans to flow over into the fertile and prosperous regions of Oran. In reality to yield to Abdel-Kriwould be to abandon a century of colonial effort which has cost France billions of dollars and thousands of lives, but has in the end proven a remarkably prosperous venture, for today North Africa is one of the great French markets. Moreover, one must recall that when France went to Algiers it was the seat of pirates whose depredations plagued all countries. In addition, Morocco is by all odds the richest portion of French North Africa. Americans are sometimes trls-loaby the descriptions of the region in which the fighting is actually taking place Into th belief that the whole country Is practically worthless mountain territory. Nothing is less exact; the broad plains which slope down to the Atlantic are Incredibly fertile, while the snow mountains supply water lacking In both Algeria and Tunis.

Havill, who was introduced as an expert, said it was his judgment that it ceased as a result of the instrument itself receiv ing a violent bump, or else the whole control car in which it was located received such a bump. There were blotches on the record made of the same ink as that in the barograph, but it was not possible for' the officers accurately to interpret the blotches. Whether the barograph ceased to function when the control car broke off the ship could not be determined. Commander Sidney M. Krass, an other expert estimated that the con trol car fell only about 1000 feet, and, if that be correct, the barograph ceased to work before the car fell.
