fwiich ELGIUM PROPOSES ONSTRUCTIVE PLAN AS T0 REPARATIONS WPoincare, in Reply to Eng- i land, Stands Firm on Old Stipulations. Tis the Aswoclated Pros: PARIS, July -30.—The French and Belgian notes, in answer to the British reparation communication, were both ightly retouched before being trans- mitted for their expected delivery in Tondon this afternoon. This came as, the result of exchanges of views be- tween Paris and Brussels. 1t is asserted in well informed quar- ters that Premier Poincare's reply Is set squarely on the treaty of Versailles and on the Franco-Belgian policy out- lined on January 11—that negotiations with Germany are impossible until her passive resistance ceases, and that the evacuation of the Rubr is impossible until the payment of reparation is ab- solutely guaranteed. n Note Conatruetive. The Belgian note is in accord with the French on these two points, it is stated. although differing on other fea- tures of the reparation question, such #s a new conference to fix Germany's capacity to pay. Those who have seen both notes say the Belgian document is the more con- structive, in the sense that it goes into methods _of settlement which _might prove effective, while the French premier regards a change of attitude on the part of the German government 10 d the treaty as the first essential und subordinates all proposed Dnew measures to that conslderation.

The chief item is the government's anticipated state- ment on the reparations situation. A debate of foreign affairs has been which time it has been hoped the statement would be made, but present indica- tions are that Its presentations is Jikely to be postponed until Thurs- day, for the reason that even if the i¥rench and Belgian answers to the iBritish note are in the hands of the government today, it is doubtful whether the cabinet would have time to discuss the communications suffi- ciently to enable the ministers to re- port to the house tomMOTTOW. Tt is understood that Count de St. Aulaire, the rFench ambassador, al- ready has the reply of his ment, but is withholding delivery un- til he receives final instructions from Paris.

Mr. Treman had gone to Europe| after rumors of strife in the Treman lLome for the reported purpose of getting his wife back. Alded by Al Jonson, the comedian, who made a specfal trip abroad to patch up the Treman difficulties, Treman seemed to have won.

Miss Castle’s fondness for animals was sald to be one of the reasons loading to differences with the par- ents of Mr. Treman.

He has been working tremendously hard since the trial began. Night before last he said he was up until 2 a.m. preparing the venire from the county record books. The fifteen Lynchburg. Petersburg and Portsmouth policemen assigned to assist the county officers in main- taining order during the trial and who were sent home over the week end. arrived in Cumberland in auto- mobiles about 9 o'clock this morning. They reached Farmville yesterday af- tornoon and night and spent the night at_the Prince Edward Hotel. There are evidently not many suf- fragettes in Cumberland, or at least so one would judge from a glance at the crowd.. Every avallable scat is filled | but almost exclusively with men. Th is not a case of “ladles first.” It reminds one of childhood days, when one was forced to wait for the second table if there was much company. Women here, being children in politics and court matters, are forced to wait for the “second table” of court, which, of course, is never served except through the columns of the newspapers, and the account of their man folk. Politics Is Relegated. The human element will feature the trial, according to statements of de- fense attorneys. Politics, which held the spotlight during the last four days, when the change of venue motion of the prosecution was being bitterly contested, will go into the background. Papers’ for incorporating the Citi- gens’ State Banuk of Cumberland, Va., of which R. O. Garrett is named secre- tary and Larkin C.
