S. ---- - - - - France Has World in Its Grasp Ruhr Tieup Predicted to Re sult in Appeal to Amer ica for Relief Next Year. Concessions Laid Down By MARK SUJJVAN. Uondon. July 16.—Regardless of merits, and regardless in the long run of the result, the French have for the moment won a victory of form. .For three weeks the British have said to the French, " twas your program, and we will say whether we will go along with it." The French replied, "You tell us your program and we will tell you whether we will go along.” The British will tell th,eir program _flaring the preeent week. This, how ^ever, is an easy sort of tactical vic tory that can be won by merely standing still. Much more substan tial Is the fact that Britain now has Italy on her side, that Belgium's in terest leans more and more strongly to the British than to the French, and that tho Vatican is following a vigorous course of action which is helpful to Britain and harmful to France. In addition, several neutrals like Holland that are hurt even more than Britain by the industrial paraly sis in the Ruhr, are identified with Britain’s interests. France Faces Isolation. * If the program which Britain will lay down this week should appeal powerfully to the United States, the isolation of France would be com plete. There are two main concessions Which France wants to force from Britain and which it thinks it is in a strong position to get. One is that Britain should join in the demand for cessation of passive resistance by Germany in order to save France's face and give color of success to the occupation of the Ruhr. Britain Is unwilling to do this pub licly or formally, because such action would be Inconsistent with the cor nerstone of Britain's position, which is that the Ruhr occupation is illegal. But Britain could and would find a way to counsel Germany informally io withdraw passive resistance if ^P*i»ain coulfl know that this would be followed by a definite solution of the reparation question, prearranged between Britain and France, includ ing a fixed date for the ending of the Ruhr ocupation. >\anls First Payment. The other concessions France wants from Britain is that the first $6,000,000,POO paid by Germany shall hs devoted to restoring France’s de vastated territory, leaving Britain to wait until, and if, Germany pays more than $6,000,000. This priority to France would postpone Britain not only as to her stiare of reparations, hut also as to receipts from France on account of the debt which France owes Britain. This waiting for a sum certainly < untingent and quite possibly never to he paid at all would be the sever < st sort of strain on Britain, since Britain has already promised to pay, and actually is paying, the debt it owes to the United States. The French, frankly cynical, say that they cannot meet their pay ments to the United States without receiving any reparation money. At the same time France cheerfully and firmly insists that Britain shall not receive any payments, either from Germany on account of reparations or from France on account of her debt, for many years, if ever. France's Pride Hurt. The truth ,s that France does not like to see Britain paying her debts to America. France does not think ica should be paid any of the money owed to her by any of the al lies and regards Britain’s paying America as an injury to herself France believes that time fights on its aide, and under all conditions that is true. On the same diy that Premier Baldwin made his speech, Britain's export figures for June were made public. They were about 12 per cent lower than those for May. By about the same percentage July exports will be lower titan June's. This show ing, which Is a result of France's paralysis of the Ruhr, is nothing short of slow death for Britain Francs counts on this, Bnd enjoys such wounds to British economic strength with as frank pleasure ns she received the news of a military victory over Germany during the war. By continuing to hold the Ruhr. France, in both a military and an nomic paralysis will be such that Britain but the whole world by the throat. America is by no means emitted from the victims. If the oc cupation of the Ruhr is maintained In Its present form the resulting eco nomic paralsls will be such that about th» only goods America wilt send to the continent next year will be consignments from Herbert IJoover and the American relief ad ministration.

By AMoeiatid PrfM. St. Paul, .July 16.—Magnus John son, farmer-la barite and avowed fol lower of Robert M. IA Follette took a slight lead in the first scattering re turns from today's special United States senatorial election in Min nesota, leading Governor J. A. O. Preus. republican and Harding ad herent, in the first 30 precincts to re port. These 30 precincts more, than half from Ramsey county (St. Paul, gave Johnson. 3,760; Preus, 3,331, and James A. Parley, democrat, 8J7.) The first 13 rural precincts to report were uniformly for Johnson. St. Paul, July 16.—With Interest greatly increased in the last few days of the campaign. It was Indicated to night that before the polls closed possibly more than 600.000 votes would lie cast In Minnesota's spe cial I’nited States senatorial elec tion. The apathy that marked the June 18 primary, when only 300,000 persons voted, had been dissipated to a large extent today. Both Governor J. A. O. Prues, repub lican candidate and supporter of the Harding administration, and Magnus Johnson. farmer-laborlte and La Follette adherent, voted early In their respective home precincts, as did also James A. Carey, democratic nominee. Ideal weather helped at tract many voters to the polls, While spokesmen for Governor Prues said they would withhold any statement until a reasonable percentage of the 3,500 precincts in the state had re ported, leaders of the farmer labor parly renewed their claim of victory for Johnson "by around 40,000 ma jority.” That the volume of vote would ex ceed the primary balloting was In dicated In reports from nearly every one of the 87 counties, which de clared the vote would run from 30 to 90 per cent of normal. There are 800,000 eligible voters in the state. In almost every i ase the county reports showed a vote In excess of that In the primary and In some instances it was double. In the gen eral election last fall, when' Preus and Johnson were opponents In the gubernatorial race, the vote totaled 715.000. Editor of American Magazine Succumbs Ardslcy On Hudson, N.
