I Currency of ^ Irunee Reported to He Tottering I rant- on Fvc of Debacle Sim ilar to Iliat of Mark— Finances of <)thrr Na tions in Danger. By JOHN STEELE. Copyright, 19?*. London, L>ec. 3.*—On the eve of the London conference the visit to Lon don of American Ambassadors Hough t"n from Berlin and Fletcher from Brussels Is being given much signifi cance. They have conferred with Am bassador Harvey here, and before com ing to London they conferred with Ambassador Myron T. Herrick in I 'arts. I am able to state from high authority that they hate not been in structeil from Washington, but each i man came, moved by a common anx I jety for the tlnanelal anti economic danger In which the whole European continent now stands. According to this authority, French currency is on the e\a of a debacle similar to that of tho German mark and the Austrian crown, which can only be prevented by realization by the French of economic facts, if the French franc goes It will be followed b.v the Belgian franc and the Swiss and Butch currency, also likely will he affected. Frrnrh Flan Advance. far tlie French have shown no k'*r signs of having acquired economic sanity. If they fall Saturday to secure from England torgivencss of tho L ranch debt and a loan for Germany sufficient to pay reparations, their plan is to advance as far as Essen with the divisions, but the authority with whom I talked hay no confidence that they will gain anything. He be lieves tbe cost of this occupation, as In the past, will bo more than any re turn which ran be expected. It is pointed out that between Janu ary, 1321, and May, 1322, the mark only fell from 200 to tlie dollar to 300 to the dollar. In the next six months it slumped to S.ooo lo the dollar. In Ids , opinion, the French are starting on ' the same slope, and French bankers are In a panic over the situation. J. Pierpont Morgan, who has been j invited to come over practically to re- I organize the French finances, left i Paris when it became apparent that politicians would not accept his plans I for restoring the economic sanity of Europe. (treat Britain Sound. Great Britain nlone is sound finan cially and financiers and manufaetur- '■ • is have practically given up hope of restoring trading conditions on the1 continent and are determined to bend j all energies to develop trade in the British dominions and South America, j Tills is likely to bring sbout a keen competition with America, hut It is) hoped that this competition will con liniio as fair and friendly as at pres ent. The Belgian delegation, headed by j Premier Theunls, arrived here this morning and M. Theunls called on j .,,j Prime Minister Bonar Law and had a j long conference. The Belgians re- i fused to talk, but I understand that | their attitude is that they do not want to follow the French in the applica tion of coercion on Germany, hut they feel they will b» forced to do if the French go ahead The Italian and Freni h delegations will arrive tonight. There is much ’peculation about the attitude of Pre mier Mussolini, of whom little Is known lien but it is believed he will pursue a realist policy, demanding ad vantages for Italy in return for bis support from whichever side he vasts his Influence. The formal conference will begin Saturday in the cabinet room of lo Downing street, and It Is expected it wl! continue until Tuesday. Efforts are being made to clamp down the lid of secrecy, issuing only colorless of- , ficlal communiques, but it is expected (he lid will be pried open before the i nd of the conference. Opera Star Denies Charges in Petition for Divorce San Francisco, Dec. 9.—Madame Margaret Malzenauer, opera star, in a formal answer and cross-complaint to the divorce suit of her chauffeur husband. Floyd Glotzbach, tiled here yesterday, entered a general denial of his charges against her and asked that she he awarded a decree on grounds of cruelty and infidelity. J. J.

One $100 check. It Is set forth, was sent to the Fratics woman by Glotzbach six days before he and the opera star were married on June 1$, 1321.

Dry Officers Popular. Cincinnati, O., Dec. 9.—Spectaculnr | raids on a number of roadhouses in Kentucky and the subsequent convic tion of those arrested have resulted in numerous letters being sent to the ; federal prohibition officers, whose headquarters aro In Covington, asking them to come across the river and 1 "clean up" Cincinnati.
