Entente Cordiale Ruined By CnlTrrwl genie*. Gondrecourt, France, Aug. 26.— ’’Heaven helps those who help them selves. We stay in the Ruhr until we are paid.” These words in the speech of Pre mier Poincare here today definitely destroyed the last lingering hope that France would consent to make some concession to the British viewpoint In order to conserve the entente. ^J’remler Poincare’s two speeches in nils neighborhood, near where the first Americans fought, were full of allusions to the French determination to emulate the Iron glove policy of Bismarck. Plaque to Tanks Dedicated. The premier spoke today at the dedication of a plaque commemorat ing the arrival of the first Americans at the trenches. "The American army broke the springs of the German military mech anism.” he said, lauding the part America played in the war, and fol lowed by expressing the regret that a Franco-American alliance had not resulted. “If Germany does not decide to pay, we will be forced to repeat, ‘pay or we stay,' ” said the premier. “The conviction which led us to the Ruhr was the conviction that the best manner of gaining support from either heaven or men begin* by aid ing one's self. 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.
