Paris, Aug. 22 (By the Associated Press).—Germauy ean obtain evacuation of the Ktltir only by pa.viug reparations, she can assure attenuation of the rivers of the'occupation by ceasing passive re sistance. ami she can win no reduction in tlie amount she owes, France unless the allied creditors of France see tit to give France credit for equal amounts on her war debts. These are the conclusions of Premier Poincare’s reply to Marquis Curzon's reparations note of recent date. The French government also expresses its be lief that the allies can agree on methods of bringing about the execution of the treaty by continuing courteous negotia tions. The British proposal for a re-estimate of Germany's capacity for payment, and Lord (.’urzon’s- suggestion that the ques tion of legality of fthe occupation of the Ruhr be referred to The Hague are re jected, and the FreucL position is reaf firmed as remaining unchanged. France holds that a settlement of the question of inter-allied wap debts should wait upon final payment by Germany of 50,(100.000,000 gold marks in reparations, comprised in the A and B bonds. The official opinion of the reply as set forth in the summary in English, given out today at the foreign office, is that the note contains the elements of a prac tical solution of the reparations problem, but careful reading of the comunication shows that in the opinion of M. Poincare the only practical solution is for Great Britain to accept the French thesis in ev ery detail. TO BURY SGT. REESE Reese Wm Killed While fit Ttfrpiamet With Alfred B. DeM«Squi».

Washington, Aug. 21.—Failure of the anthracite operators and miners to readi an agreement at their Atlantic City conference will not be permitted to inflict a fuel shortage on the consumer, it was declared tonight at the White House. While no indication of the ad ministration program was given, it was announced that President Coolidge wished to assure the public that normal requirements for fuel would be met. Officials who have followed the an thracite crisis closely expressed the opin ion tonight that the President would not intervent until the operators and miners hail been given an opportunity to come forward with a proposal which might serve ils a compromise upon which negotiations could be resumed. In the absence of any such move, it was said, the Bresident might confine himself to’ a publication of the findings qf the "om luission as to responsibility for the dead lock in the. belief that public -opinion might prove effective in bringing about an adjustment and at the same time would use available government agencies for accelerating the production nnd dis tribution of bituminous coal and of oil ns an emergency substitute for anthra cite. TROUBLE NOW EXPECTED Anthracite Conference Ends Abruptly Over the New Wage Question-—Walk out September Ist. / Atlantic City, Aug. 21.-—Negotiations for a new wage contract in the anthra cite industry ended abruptly today. leav ing unrelieved the prospect of a suspen sion of hard coal mining September Ist. Miners' union officials, who walked out of the joint meetings, said the efforts toward a peaceable adjustment of the conflict on the part of the industry itself had terminated because the operators were unwilling to concede any part of the demand for increased wages made by the men. The operators asserted that , the breaking point Was the unwill ingness of the union to submit its de mands to the test of arbitration. Both sides, however, assented to the submis sion of a report on the situation to the United States coal commission, through James A. Gorman, secretary of the joint conference. Neither group looked for any preven tion of a protracted industrial struggle in the anthracite region after Septem* her Ist by any other means than govern ment intervention, though S. D.

Y., Aug. 22.—America face tlie alternative of competing in ar mament with the rest of the world and building up the biggest army and navy or combining with the rest of the world in disarmament, it was declared tonight by Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale Uni versity, in an address at the conference on International Relations from the Christian Viewpoint, which is being held under tlie ausipces of the Federal Coun cil of Churches. The League of Nations, he declared, is not only desirable but essential frhm the standpoint of the entire world and the United States in particular. Prof Fisher said in • part: “The United States has reached the parting of the ways: Either we must compete in armament with the rest of the world and have the biggest navy and the greatest army in the world, or com bine in disarmament with the rest of the world. “Pershing nnd Sims are entirely right in urging an immediate start in this deadly race if we are not all' to join in disarmament. “Politics alone is responsible for keep ing us out of the League of Nations. We should undoubtedly h%e -been, in the League—and with reservations—liad the White House and the Senate been of the same political complexion, both Democratic and both Republican. “The League of Nations or ‘a’ League of Nations is not only desirable but ab-, solufel.v essentia! from the standpoint of the self-interest of the world in general and of the United States in particular. “The oijjy way to prevent further war —and former Justice Clarke states that seventeen nations are now actively pre paring for war—is for the United States to co-operate in helping Europe to build itself up and in doing away with the il feediug that was aroused by the war. “The policy of isolation today is a delusion and a snare. It means no real isolation but merely a refusal to recog nize that the world has become one vast neighborhood. “To destroy war is becoming a neces sity. No other interest can be allowed to hold it back. “War or Civilization Must Go." ‘.‘Either civilization must destroy war or war will destroy civilization. One of these alternatives leads us through the League of Nations to a world of peace, justice and prosperity. The other leads us through war to a world of death and destruction. Which shall it- be. League or war? “We have not yet joined the existing League of Nations. We have not yet • created the ‘Association of Nations' promised in the 1920 Republican plat form. We are not yet officially repre sented in the Permanent Court of Inter national .Justice. “This is surely a most remarkable situation, in view of the fact that .the vast majority of the people of the United States earnesly desire peace and do not rare whether the organization for pre serving peace is the existing League unimpaired, the existing League with the Senate reservation, or anything else, pro vided only it be effective to keep the peace. Four years is a long time in which to do anything but discuss what shall be done. “But facts are .now being realized, with the result, that public opinion is beginning to turn away from the policy . of isolation toward a vague idea of some . participation fn European jlrobleins. In short. Uncle Sam is fast making up his : mind again to shake hands across the . sea and is beginning to look shyly at : that seat reserved for him at Geneva, i “At present fifty-two nations are ’ members of the League. Only four ini . portant nations—Germany, Russia, Tur -1 key and the United States-—are outside. As has been said, these fifty-two have . solemnly signed a short, simple round-, i robin arbitration or conciliation, and, . second, to work together for the gen . eral betterment of -world relations. r “The world needs a League of Nations in order to avoid a recurrence of what has constituted a veritable curse even in • times of peace—competitive armaments. . Before the war for many years Germany • and France have been competing in armies. ■ In the same way Germany and England were racing -each other with • respect to their navies. So competed •’ almost all countries, to the great cost and injury of every producer of real wealth. “The X’nited States has reached the i parting of the ways. Either we must ‘ compete in armament with the rest of the world or combine in disarmament with tlie rest of the world. League! an Insurance Against War. “The (or ‘a’) League, from a com -1 mercial point of view constitutes a great' 1 mutual war insurance company, each nation joining because it is both cheaper j and more effectual to provide against war by paying small insurance premi ums to pay for a league than by main ■ taining a great army. 1 “There are five principal methods on which the league relict* to avoid war. ; They are: First, refesring the dispute to a third party—in other words, judicial decision or arbitration, or conciliation; sleond, a ‘cooling off' time while the third party is trying to arrive at a fair I decision or recommendation; third, the possibility of a second or a third at tempt at adjustment if the first is not accepted by the two cotending parties; fourth, if one of the two contending parties holds out against the decision or recommendation and the opinion of the world, the recalcitrant nation can be boycotted; fth, military force can be | nppiled if the other nations individually | so decide. “With the United States safely inside | tlie I,enguo. we would ' possess a veto! power in the Council. No action could be even recommended unless we as a j member approved. And, of course, any , military step by the United States would always require, in addition, action by Congress. / “Our nation now stands almost alone in this matter of opposition to the League.
