Entente Cordiale Ruined By CnlTrrwl genie*. Gondrecourt, France, Aug. 26.— ’’Heaven helps those who help them selves.

Institute Estimate Off. “It is vain to pretend that Ger many has already paid 42,000,000,000 gold marks, or even 25,000,000,000, to the reparations commission, as stated by the Washington economic insti tute, an organization of which I have never before heard. "This false estimate by the Wash ington institute demonstrates what we would have to expect from inter national experts.” M. Poincare declared that so far as French feeling Is concerned, the withdrawal of the United States from i Europe has not altered Franco-Amer-1 lean relations.
