S» 1 ** 1 ° European Situation Is Critical Avoidance of Deadlock Be tween France and Britain Over Reparations Key to Settlement. Peace Lies in Answer By Mark Sullivan. London. June 20.—It is quite true, as is constantly said in the most authoritative circles, that the coming few days will be most critical for the future of Europe. Yet it is equally true that the precise conditions of the situation as it exists today make it most pregnant with possibilities of the beginning of a cure. To put it in other words if. as be tween the British and the French, there is a blowup or a definitely admitted deadlock during the re ^j^inder of the week, then it can he ^ taken as a fixed condition for the fu ture that the whole European situa tion will enter a new and most dan gerous phase. At the same time, if this outcome is avoided, if there is agreement on the step now under consideration, then progress towards a cure should be certain, though at best necessarily slow. The balance should turn one way or the other very soon. At the moment the French reply to the British questionnaire Is being scru tinized by the Belgian government, to whom the French submitted it as a matter of courtesy. There should be no delay In getting the Belgian judgment. To l/end Approval. It Is true there is a ministerial crisis In Belgium, but that is on a question remote from foreign affairs. Anything at present that the Bel gian ministry may do about foreign relations will be approved by what ever new government comes into power. For the reader to understand the step that must now quickly eventu ate one way or the other, it Is desir able to point out what is the pres ent situation in more exact and com prehensive terms than have hitherto be»n easy to communicate. the issuance of the recent Ger note, the French government first took the position that it would not even talk about the contents of the German note with its own allies unless the allies would promise as a condition in advance to Join the French In demanding that Germany cease her passive resistance. This was accompanied by the further con dition precedent to an allied discus sion of the German note that the allies should assent in advance to certain conditions laid down by France about the division of repara tions and about the mechanism to be adopted for their payment. Aware of Blame. In this situation thus presented them, the British determined to dis regard utterly any spirit of brusque ness that they may have seen in the French attitude, to have the most complete consideration for the feel ings of the French and especially to hear in mind a repentant concious ness that the British government it self, in past ‘ years under Lloyd (Turn to Pars Two.

Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, June 20.—Fred Brown, Ne braska chainman who a year ago was terrorizing two states, is a docile, obedient prisoner at the Nebraska slate penitentiary. In fact, docility and obedience are Brown's two chief characteristics when in prison. He not only works hard during working hours but at night in his cell Brown carves canes. He has developed real ability along this line and numerous friends and penitentiary officials have been re cipients of Brown's handiwork. Brown shows no resentment to the reputation he has won as one of the most desperate criminals Nebraska police officers have coped with in years. But he isn't pleased with the fact that he is the only man in Ne braska to recede a life sentence on a kidnaping charge. "I got a raw deal,’’ Brown says. "But I feel sure the supreme court will cut my sentence." Whether Brown is Ernest Busch, boy murderer, sentenced to life for murder in western Nebraska years ago and pardoned by former Governor Mickey, is a puzzle prison officials are endeavoring to solve. Brown's measurements are the same as thos-> of Busch. The picture of Busch shows much resemblance to Brow-n. Brown refuses to discuss the charge hit'll Brown. that he is Busch. In those days fingerprints were not in use in Ne braska, and this means of identifi cation can't be used. For the last two years and up un til the time Governor Bryan went into office, Nebraska maintained a fingerprint bureau and prints were taken of all criminals. The governor has dispensed! with the fingerprint system and the cards, measurements and index files are gathering dust in the office of the state purchasing agent.

Others, including a number of railroad work ers who had been waiting at the sta tion, followed the boys example, shook hands and wished the president a pleasant journey. A few miles out of Martinsburg, the president, still on the rear platform, saw a scene which carried him hack to the swimming hole days of his youth. In the foreground were a half dozen hoys scantily clad, enjoying refuge from the midsummer heat In a pool formed by a little crock flow ing down through the hills. Mr. Hord ing greeted the youngsters with a smile and a wave of hi* cap. The president spent the first hours aboard the train enjoying the scenery along the Potomac, and in com plete relaxation after the long hours spent at his desk in preparation of his more important addresses and in clearing up official business. During this time he made the acquaintance of the train crew and pleasantly rep rimanded some of the trainmen who had been too busy to visit the presi dent's cijr. Lasker Hides Out in S. S.

Washington, June 20.—Treasury de partment regulations forbidding for eign ships to bring other than medi cinal liquor within the three-mile lim it will receive their first real test next week when the British liner Olympic reaches New York with wine stock* under the seals of the British customs service. Word that the Olympic would car ry liquor into American territorial waters despite the interpretation placed upon the Volstead act hy the United Kt.ites supreme court, was re ceived by the Btate department in dis patches from the American consul at Southampton. The giant liner, it was stated, sail ed for New York today carrying sup plies of wine for its eastbound voy age carefully sealed in a special store room. The door to the storeroom is sealed with the seals of the British customs service. These seals.

State department officials declined to discuss the steps which the Ameri can government would take to deal with the problem presented by the action of the British liner. There was pn reason to suppose, it wag as serted. that the Olympic case repre sented a plan by the London govern ment to test the ship liquor regula tions before replying to the note from Secretary of State Hughes asking tha 12-mile search and seizure privilege for the dry navy. The Issue raised by the Olympic, from the State department view point, is one to he handled hy the Treasury department and the federal courts.
