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.

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

"clean up" Cincinnati. The outcome
of these requests has been a confer
ence between the officers stationed In
