The announcement of the new French premier that the consideration of the debt agreements with JBrltaln and America will go over until parliament reassembles In October puts a term to the heated debate of this issue. But just as clearly it indicates, first, that Poincare, himself, remains opposed to the American agree-men- t, and, secondly, that he recognizes that it is the part of political wisdom not to attempt to precipitate the debate now. In October the French situation may have Improved, it may have been possible to get the foreign loans essential for stabilization from British and Dutch sources. In that event, the position of the United States will have worsened, for the single coercive Influence we exert rests upon the theory that France, to arrive at financial adjustment, must have American aid. Not needing any new American loans, which can be had only by permission of our government and on condition of the acceptance of the debt settlement, the French will be able to argue for the modification of the agreement with comparative ease. Moreover, all their present purpose is directed, not at seeking more favorable terms as to payments hut only at obtaining an agreement such as British has conceded, that the whole question may be reopened in ease of German failure to perform her reparations duties in accordance with the Dawes plan. Mexico City. The Mexican business world, where nerves are already on edge as a result of the economic boycott called by adherents of the Roman Catholics cause in the present religious controversy Tuesday felt additional alarm at the continued slump of silver. Tuesday's silver exchange showed the silver peso reaching 4.20 per cent discount, as compared with Monday's 3.50 to 4 per cent. Bankers, however, repeated their denials that the depreciation of the silver peso, interms of the gold peso, has been caused by the boycott, which the Catholics hope will create a business depression sufficiently acute to cause the government to modify its religious policy. Meanwhile, a government committee of financial experts is completing its orginzatlon to investigate the economic situation on the disordered exchange. The boycott is continuing to reduce the luxury trade, the womens apparel trade and the motion picture theatre attendance in Mexico City. It is reported to be operating more severely in other portions of the republic, although Mexico City is without anything even pretending to represent accurately general conditions elsewhere. German Holds Control of Air Berlin. In conformity with a law passed laBt month, the government issued stringent regulations regarding the construction, importation and use of flying machines in Germany. Airplanes must not be armoured, have protection of any kind or be supplied with arrangements for mounting machinery of war. It is forbidden to construct, Import or use machines the movements of which can be controlled from a central point. Special permission from the ministry of communications is necessary for the construction or importation of modern sporting planes. All military Instruction of pilots is forbidden. Airplane factories must be licensed by the ministry of communications and all aviation students must be registered, as well as all finished or unfinished machines. U. S. Not Self Sustaining Washington. The popular that the United States Is a belpf nation received a setback Sunday in a statement by the shipping hoard which reported that a survey of Its records showed conditions to the contrary. Domestic resources supply sufficient grain, petroleum, cotton, coal. Iron and copper, the board said, but foreign countries must be called upon to furnish either all or a large part of the other major commodities, including rubber, tea, coffee, silk, potash, 800,000 tons annually of s of the sugar vegetables, consumed, and 2,000,000 tons annuall. of fruits and nuts.

But I insist that my guess Is the best reason of the three." "For which thank you," murmured Patricia, Tills wus the frivolous conversation that had been a part of their early acquaintance. Now, after three years of more than friendship Patricia was beginning to wonder whether or not It would have been better If their acquaintance never hud become more Intimate than it wus in those playful days. She had been engaged to Tom for two years and she was afraid to marry him. That she loved him, she never doubted for an Instant, bat that she would never have the patience and courage and endurance to teach him to contrefi a temper that had been allowed to grow wilder and more unreasonably destructive with each of his formative years, she doubted. It was the only reason she had not married him before now. She was fearful lest, once married, be would cease to make the effort to overcome his violent disposition. What the waiting amounted to, really. Putrlcla had often told herself, was a season of probation In which they could both learn whether or not they cared enough to strive and overcome It together. "Im paying an awful penalty for my temper, Pat," Tom aald to her one day In a season of remorse after an unreasonable outbreak. Patricia was silent It never occurred to him that she, too, might be suffering. Perhaps she would have liked the comfort pleasure and security of a little home of her own witli the man she loved. "I suppose I have set myself back further than ever now?" he asked. Patricia looked at him with the same level, kindly understanding expression In her eyes that she always wore on these occasions. Sometimes she wondered at her own patience to forgive him. And yet In her heart she knew he wus not wholly to blame for the hold tills temper hud on him before he was old enough to think for himself. She had known other members of his family. "No, Tom, I really believe you have made- great progress In two years. You try and you frequently succeed. Thats improvement, isnt It?" lie nodded, muttering ruefully, "Some I suppose." "If I said I would marry you If you could . be good until well, say until my birthday? Would that be any encouragement?" "Patricia, the man cried, leaping almost across the room to seize her hand. "Its what I need assurance that you really will marry me some day after all." "All rigid then, Tom, we will leave it that way. We have our lives to live, we wnnt to live them together and Pm getting tired and lonely, myself waiting and forgiving. Wouldnt it be worth while to try for me, dear?" she asked, a plaintive note in her voice that he had never heard there before. The next holiday came with Its vivid accessories and Tom and Patricia were invited to a party with a group of young people they had known for years. A cold March wlud had blown .up during the day and the thermometer was dropping fast. There hud been signs of spring and wluter precautions had been done sway with, even to the elimination of antifreeze fluid In the rudiutor of Toms little car.

High Wlnde Again An Allie of Firs; Control Lines Widely Broken And Many New Acres Art Burning Calgary, Alberta. An aged woods worker named Landstrum died with his axe in his hand fighting a forest fire near Donald, B. C. Dispatches reporting this listed losses of 8,000,000 board feet of cut logs valued at camps, bridges and culverts on a logging railway, stores, tools and machinery. The flames were pronounced under control, despite strong winds and extreme drought. Land-strum- s body was found at a camp of the Columbia River Lumber company. Missoula, Mont. High winds whipping through the blazing forests of Montana and Idaho have fanned the flames to renewed fury, reports to Fend Oreille forests came word of fires driven beyond control and sweeping forward Into large stands of timber. On the Flathead, 25,000 acres are now a mass of flames, with the fires rushing on a wide front in spite of the efforts of a large number of fight- ers. Two fires on tbe Kootenai were eating through crown timber, while another blaze was threatening to cross into the Kootenai from the Pend Oreille. Some line was held on the Coeur dAlene, although many of the fires were raging out of control.

Trade Boycott Fell In Mexico City. The achbishopric of the Roman Catholic church never will approve of armed uprising, but the church will go to Calvary if necessary In the present religious struggle In Mexico, Monslgnor Pascual Diaz, bishop of Tabasco and secretary of tbe national episcopate told tbe Associated Press. The movement among Roman Catholics to exert the pressure of an economic boycott against the attitude of the Mexican government in enforcing the new religious regulations is plainly worrying business circles. Although there have been no serious outward evidences of an economic boycott in Mexico City, reports from elsewhere in the republic state that the volume of business has been tangibly reduced in some places. Mexico French Franc World Factor New York.
