WILL PAY HER DEBTS.

(Reuter's Service to the China Mail.)

PARIS, August 13. French official circles are very disappointed with the British note. They are astonished that in stend of the creditors uniting to make Germany pay, one creditor has decided to stand aside, simul taneously placing all the debtors and the Allied enemy under a common obligation.

The point which has caused the greatest surprise is the linking together of the French and German war debts.

The French standpoint is that while France remitted the war debts owing to her, she was ready to pay her own debts to the Allies, but she refused to have debts made dependent on Germany's capacity or will to fulfil her obligations.

It is emphatically declared that France does not intend to repudiate her war debts.

AMERICAN OPINION.

NEW YORK, August 13. The non-committal attitude of the Washington official world has not been changed by the British

note.

The New York Evening Post declares that any Government that refuses to accept the note as at least the basis for discussion will outrage the opinion of the world.

The Evening Sun says that nothing is left to re- sponsible British statesmen if the argument fails but to extricate the nation by the best means available. WARDING OFF STARVATION.

BERLIN, August 13.

It is added that deliveries will be resumed as Soon as the position permits Germany will endeavour to continue her deliveries of coal to Italy.
