Paris, Aug. 18.-—While Poincare’s summary of the French position in the note which will be delivered to the British government Monday treats of the inter-allied debts at some length, he does not as re- ported in some quarters make pay- ment of Frances' debt to the United States dependent upon recovery of a similar amount on the class C rep- aration bonds from Germany it was said at the foreign office this morn- ing: The Fr’nch attitude is that the war debt to America shall be paid and that in order to pay it France must get from Germany an equal amount of the class C bonds, but this does not mean that if France fails to col- lect from Germany she will repudiate her own debt. The war debts are considered in French official circles as less pressing than the question of reparations and of soothing out the troubles of the entente, as final solution of the rep- arations problem it is held will make possible earlier settlement of the war debt. France consequently considers the negotiations for funding her war debt to the United States as in abey- ance for the moment.

Worst Storm Since 1906 It. was the worst storm experienced here since 1906. Following observa- tory warnings, ocean-going steamers and small craft sought sheiter last night. Bomb fire signalized the ap- proach of the storm center this morn- ing. Within an hour the wind was blowing with hurricane force and the harbor was tempestuous. The steamer Ming Sang whistled long blasts of distress. A blue funnel towboat made heroic attempt to reach the stricken vessel. The high running sea made rescue impossible and the Ming Sang went down. ¥x- cept for the two officers reported saved, all aboard are believed to | have perished. The Ming Sang owned by the Indo- China steam Navigation Co. was of 1,650 net tonnage. The British submarine L-9 parting from her moorings, drifted westward and sank off the Hong Kong club.
