Belgium Bows to British Demand for Conferene^ to Fix Germany’s Note oil Reparations Reveals Schism Developed With France—Poincare Government Refuses to Consider Interallied Conference—Holds Berlin Must First Make Acceptable Offer in Regard to Payments. Nearly All of Baldwin’s Suggestions Turned Down By rnlvfnwl Service, Paris, July 29.—Belgium accept* the British demand that ft conference be held to fix the total of Germany's debts. This is- the outstanding point of the Belgian reply to England that reached Qtiai D'Orsay this morning and will be forwarded, along with the French reply, to London Monday. The Belgian note reveal* the schism that has developed between France and Belgium. The French note Insists that the time is not ripe to consider the Ger man debt and refuses to consider an interallied reparations conference, contending that Germany must first make an acceptable offer. Nearly all of Premier Baldwin's suggestions have been turned down in the document by Premier Poincare. Program Outlined. Belgium, on the other hand, recog nizes the desirability of following this program: First—Adoption of measures to re store German finances. Second—Liquidation of allied debts, linked with reparations. Third—Revision of the Spa percen tage* in favor of France and Belgium, the devastated countries. Fourth—Indication of guarantees whereby reparations can be obtained without injuring Germany's budget ary equilibrium. Fifth—Regulation of Franco-Bel gian security by an alliance among the former allied powers. The Fmlioo-Belgian notes agree on the basic pVinciple of continuation of occupation of the Ruhr and on a pol icy of refusing to negotiate with Germany until it has ceased passive resistance. Replies Differ Radically. London, July 29.—Despite the se crecy maintained here, it is believed that the French and Belgian replies differ radically in relation to the guarantees offered by Germany and the determination of Germany's abil ity to pay. Brussels favors the adoption of a new general plan for the solution of the reparations problem. The French reply will probably be presented to Marquis Curzon Monday by Ambassa dor St. Aulaire. It is made up of criticisms of the entire British thesis and puts several blunt questions to Premier Baldwin regarding the set tlement of interallied debts. Meanwhile, Italy has thrown a monkey wrench into French diplo matic machinery by the insistence of Premier Mussolini that, instead of adopting a pooling arrangement for the settlement of war debts, including those owed America, the allied nations follow Britain’s example. Reports Differ on Wheat Yield in This Section One Farmer Forced to Call Off Threshing Crew Because of Poor Crop Is Claim Made. Messages received from the wheat fields of Nebraska Saturday told different stories of the crop yield. Re port! that the farmers were atoring their grain In hopes of a better mar ket and because of the low quality, which made threshing financially Impossible from the farmer's stand point, were both verified and denied. Incidentally both reports were from farmers living near Gibbon. Robert I^islng'-r, tenant, one farmer reported, was forced to stop his threshing crew because of the ex tremely poor yield, which would not even warrant him enough to pay for the cost of threshing. The owner of (he farm, however, persuaded him to continue despite the evident poor quality. Another Gibbon tenant, advices told, threshed a half day and received 140 bushels, estimated to be worth $91. Two-thirds of this sum went for the payment of the rent, and hired help. The remainder, the farmer complained, was Insufficient to pay for his own aervlces and the cost of seed. That the two above reports cannot be taken as a fair criterion for other farmers was declared by farmers whose fields adjoin the I^islnger fields. It was admitted, however, that In some localities, the average ran only about two bushels per acre, while the yield of other fields was from 10 to 14 bushels. Farmers In Gage, Jefferson, snd flay counties reported that while the yield per acre was fair and the quality of grain wn* good tn some places, many were storing their wheat In anticipation of higher prices.
