Paris, Feb, 8. -"Great Britain has
made a gesture such as no other coun-
try has made in saying she will use
the German reparations only to pay
off Inter -Allied .and American debts,"
-Finance Minister Cleneutel said to-
night in handing out the British reply
to the French note, •
"Twenty per cent, of the German
.reparations, which Britain will ro-
omettemit a`.1 be paid to the United
States to settle Britain's debt. What
is 'neces'sary for Britain's Allied debt-;
ors to pay to maks up the difference'
is all we shall be expected to pay.

war damages and will not attempt to.

as the whole Cabinet, is pleased be-'
eause it means 'a big reduetion in
France's debt to Britain, which can'
now be paid entirely out of the French
share of German reparations and also
because it sets a precedent in settling'
the American debt, e

Disastrous Snowslides on the
Mountain Caused by Days
of Thaw and Rain.
A despatch from Nelson, B.C.
says:—Two lives lost, a railway line
closed for the season and one house
demolished are the results so far re-
ported of Kootenay snowslides follow-
ing days of thaw and rain.
At live o'clock in the morning a
snow and mud slide demolished the
ranch house of John H. Moyle, at
Queen's Bay, overwhelming the por-
tion of the house containing Mr. and
Mrs. Hoyle, and carrying away the
upper portion containing John Hoyle,
a son, and Miss Mary Holt, a - servant,
were sleeping. The latter two escaped
serious injuries and emerged by win-
dows. A.force of 22 shovel men work-
ed all day on tate tons of mud In which
Mr. and Mrs. Hoyle are buried, with-
out success. The house was at the
foot of a ravine, and it is thought a
snowslide came part way down, •chok-
ed the ravine and caused water to
backup, the subsequent rush of snow,
and water bringing away the banks of
the ravine. A water tank half a mile
up the ravine is believed to be the
object that struck the house. The
Hoyles have ranched there for 18'
years•
Three big slides came down at
various times since mid-day on the
Kaslo and Nakusp branch of the Can-
adian Pacific Railway, all between the
Rambler Mine end Zinton, the largest
being 900 feet wide and 50 feet deep.
The others are respectively 300
and 200' feet wide and 20 feet deep.

MILITARY ALLIANCE BETWEEN BRITAIN
AND PRANCE TO SECURE PEACE IN EUROPE
A despatch from Paris says.—The
Franoo-British security pact is almost
ready. Lord Crewe, who was in Lon-
don several days consulting with the
British Government, has returned to
Paris and has had two Tong interviews
with Premier Herriot on the subject.
As it is being discussed, the pact is
for a French -British or French -
British -Belgian defensive treaty. In.
other words, the British Government
is to make a military alliance with
France for the peace and security of
Europe. German feelers which
were made during the past ten days
tier a general security pact are, on
the other hand, based on the proposi-
tion of Rhineland disarmament,
The Herriot Government would like.
a general European agreement for so-
curity and disarmament with Ger-
many also, if the Germans are willing
to enter into the League of Nations
without conditions and guarantee its
awn peace treaty frontiers -which
would mean final acceptance by Ger
many of the Polish corridor and Posen
and Silesian frontiers.
The British have apparently in.
formed the French and the Germans
they would have nothing against a
Franco -Gentian Rhineland agreement,
but as for the Britieh, their idea as
expressed in Paris is for an inter-
allied agreement.
Lord Crewe made' the significant
statement in an address at a luncheon
given by the Friends of Trance to the
French and British newspapermen:
"We have arrived at a difficult mo-
ment in European politics, The time
elapsed since the armistice teas iu 110
way cooled the sentiments of friend-
ship and gratitude among the allies,
which continua to become stronger
and more vivid with the passage of
years.
"Nevertheless, several
Peace pro b-
' leans as complicated as the war's prob-
lems, become more and more difficult
to solve."
Citing Shakespeare's verse, "There
is a tide in the affairs of men,' he
said; "We used the rising tide in
economic domain in forming the
Dawes plan. Let us be careful not
to allow to escape the favorable tide
in the problems of security and final
peace, always protecting our rights
and our duties as they were set down
in the treaties."
As British Ambassadors in making
public statements always speak with
premeditation and in the name of
their Government, Lord Crewe's
speech is taken here to mean that
the British Governmenthasdefinitely
decided upon a British -French de-
fensive ailialtce,

solution of Last Week's Puzzle.

Britishers Advised to Spend
Their Holidays in Canada
A despatch from London says:-.
"Take your holiday in Canada, instead
of going to Switzerland or the Riv-
iera," was the advice given British -
business men by Sir Ernest PettGr,.
president of the British Engineers'
Association, who has just returned
from e lengthy visit to Canada, pro-
foundly convinced oe the fine openings
the Dominion offers British trade ii
only the business men at home ap-
proach the market' in the right way.
According to .The Westminster Ga-
zette, Sir Ernest said that English
business men showed a lamentable
lack of enterprise in not visiting Can-
ada personally. Ile d scribed Can-
adians as the finest hosts in the world,
as -:they furnish unlimited hospitality
and all manner of healthy sport and
recreation.
He also recommended Britishers to
nvest freely in Canadian pubic cora-
aeries,
oraaeries, adding that such capital was
eeded and that it worn:d agate a
aluable sentiment.
