. IZENS OF FRANCE.
(By the Associated Press)
PARIS Aug. D. Premier Polncar-a
today notified tho German embassy at
Paris that tho first of n series of meas-
ures to conscrvo French interests
against a lapso In Germany's pre-war
debts payments would be put Into ef-
fect Immediately. The notice follow-
ed tho receipt of a noto from Germany
refusing to meet" tho 2000"OOQ pounds
Installment of theso payments to
Jfrench citizens duo August 15.
Tlio first of tho French measures
consists of the immediate suspension
ot all payments to German nationals
for debts contracted h French men
beforo the war both in Franco ahd in
Alasqe Lorraine. Tho offices in Paris
apd. Strasbouig which were set up to
liquidate thoso debts were nptified to
cease functioning at once apd to'pav
no more German claims until further
orders from the premier.
Tho initial measures also includo
the suspension of all further payments
to Gormans for Germap property so-
questerated in France. This property
Includes estates villas art collections
etc
Tho agreement reached at Badon-
Badtm under which Germans were be-
ing compensated for tho house furn-
ishings stocks bonds and cash left
in Alsace and Lorraine also Is sus-
pended. i Not a Penalty
It was explained at tho foreign of-
fices that these first measures taken
are Pot penaltles In tho strictest senso
pf the word but moroly notion to safe-
guard the French interests which haVp
hoop jeopardized by tho Gormans re-
fusing to pay.
If Belgium and Great Britain as has
b'ocn indicated desire to forego pay-
ments from Germany on tho private)
douts duo tholr nationals this will
havo no effect on tho French position
it wus said.
Tho Gorman noto asked tho French
government to reserve H decision until
tho subject was discussed at tho com-
ing London meeting of tho allied Jieadn
of governments In viow of tho faql
that botn Belgium and Great Britain
wero willing to consider tho debt
question In connection with tljo mora-
torium issue. Tho French premier
takes tho viow that payments on pro-
wat dobta Is a matter for German tus-
ness men who are obviously prosperous
apd that it cannot ho coupled with

ST. LOUIS Aug. G. Following a
conference of anti-Reed democrats
tills afternoon it was said that no ac-
tion would bo taken to pcrsuo the re-
ported moybmpnt to put on "indepen-

that a moveme I ls afoot by anti-Rpod
democi-ats to bring out ap independent
candidate to oppose him at tho No
vember election. Should this mater-
ialize tho race fbr the senatorial seat
would bo a three cornered one.
Tho Post-Dispatch says half a dozon
conferences have been held by anti-
Reed forces Rinco Breckenridgo Long's
defeat became apparent two days ago.
on tho face of incomplete unofficial
returns and that the purpose of tho
conferences havo been to consider tho
procedure to be followed in the "ef-
fort to defeat- Reed."
Not Considered Nominee
"It Is the position of tho anU-Rced
democrats thatHoe"d Is not tho nomi-
nee of tho democratic party" the ar-
ticle continues "that ho was nominat-
ed by republican votes in St. ' Louis
Kansas City and Jh a few counties and
that on tho democratic votes cast in
tho primary Long really was nominat-
ed. While they profess to seo the
possibility of an independent candi-
date Winning tho election they priv-
ately say that the mum idea is to de
feat Reed."
Reed had charged In his camnaitrn
speeches that a movement was under
way by certain democrats to defeat
mm siiouid he win the nomination.
Reports of. demanding a recount in
certain coUptlos have been ln circula-
tion but tho former third assistant
secretary of stato refuses to discuss
this phase.

ager today issued a statement asking
Mr. Long to announce whether ho
would ask a re-count sp that tho Reed
forces could join him in tho request.
With only 131 precincts In tho state

nee as an "old guard" was objected to
by his supporters who declare him to
