France to
Hold Ruhr
Until Paid
Poincar* Announces Deter
mined Policy at Dedication
of Memorial to First
Yanks in Trenches.
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.

Lafayette Day
Meets Approval
of President
Coolidge Endorses Celebra
tion on September 6, Anni
versary of Battle
of Marne.
New York, Aug. i*.—President
Coolidge, In a letter to the Lafayette
day national committee, expresses
gratification at plans calling for cele
bration on September * of Lafayette
day and the anniversary of the bat
tle of the Marne.
The letter, made public by the com
mittee tonight, reads:
"The Jointure, in the national cele
bration of Lafayette day and the an
nlversary of the battle of the Marne,
is a particularly appealing and sug
gestive arrangement. Each event
represented a milestone in the prog
ress of freedom in thle world, and it
seems more than a striking coinci
dence that they should have fallen
on the same day of the year, though
more than a century and a half
apart. I am glad to know that there
Is prospect of an unusual widespread
observance of this double anniver
sary this year.”
The committee Is bringing the
president's message to the attention
of governors, mayors and patriotic
organizations whose bo-operatlon has
been Invited.
The committee also has suggested
that the tricolor of France, which
Lafayette designed, be flown on his
birthday with the Stars and Stripes,
under which he fought In the con
tinental army, and that statues, and
monuments of Lafayette be decorst
ed with the colors of both flags.
Exercises will be held in many
American cities, with the principal
ceremony at Governors Island in
New York harbor.
