PARIS
Killed
No Payment of War Debt.
Paris, April 29. The French, Government is deter mined not to make any further wardebt payments to the United States, according to the usually well-informed political editor of Echo de Paris who write. "If the United States should insist on the payment of the war-debt instal ment falling due on June 13, France will, regardless of England's atti- tude, again default as he did on December 13, last. Premier Dala: dier will rather risk the overthrow of his Cabinet than give way on this question." "
A Bank Rumour.
Paris, April 9.
A sensation has been caused here by the Geneva report of Ezveltior! stating that the Bank of Eng- land has withdrawn from the Bank of International Settlements a cre- dit amounting to 5,000,000 Dollars, The paper furthermore reports that the Netherlands Bank and Swedish National Bank likawise wish to get rid of their Dollar-credit and to purchase gold instead.
Two Thousand Communists.
E, so Mr. Sackett continued, will lingly welcome the autocratic ré gime and the revolution has thus
"been effected with the greatest
quiet and order.
