Washington, Nov. 9 h.—France and the Urited States eame definitely to the parting of the ways tolay or the propo- sal to enlist United States cooperation to- ward a solution of the reparations probleu. M. Poincare was advisedby Mr. Hughes, through Ambassador Jusserand, that the restrictions insisted upon by France would serve to "‘frus'rate’” the object of the ~overnment in offering Un.ted States cooperation in an expert reparations plan. The State Department refusad to go beyond this point in disciosing the purport and result of recent conversa- tions with the Ambassador in which de- tui ed explanations es the French atri tude were made. Formal invitztion to participate in an expert inguiry is before tne Government and a deelination is thereiore not in order. In the circum- stances, no invitatios from the Allied powers now is expected. There 1s no doubt that such an invitation, i present- ed under the_French restrictioas, would be declined. The President feels that the French limitations render the inquiry plan useless and futile. He believes the THE ST. CROIX AVIS is printed and published daily (Sundays and Holidays excepted) by G.

The Memorial Church was the scene of attraction last night when a pratty and unique wedding took place, the happy pair being Miss Leonie Ernestire Sewer and Mr. Cyril Willlam Creque both of . this city. Precisely at 8.30 _.e brid> en- tered beautifully attired in a dress of white silk crepe de chine adorred with overshadowed lace leaning on th» arm of Mr. Halvor Delamos, Honora:y Vice- Consul of the’‘Dominican Repubh: for St. Croix. who ecame over esp®ciallv for that p:rpose. The bride wais led by Master Aubrey Anduze, ring bearer, and the lit- tle Misses Dorris Milier, Übeldina Zdlu- um, Adella Rasch, Euridila Hall and Louise Josiina who very nicely lcoked dressad in white crepe de chine carrying baskets of flowers. Miss Blanche Collins who acted as Maid of Honour, was much admired in her dress of rose pink satin with lace. Mrs. Carl A. Anduze con- ducted the very little bride’s maids. Our well known merchant Mr. Jos. E. Sprauve acted as best man. Two cush- ioned chairs were prepared for the bride and groom, and after both were seated, the choir sung beautiful anthems, Mr. Paillip Gomez’s solo bz2ing very much enjoyed.

After the singiny of thc'cgoir. the Right Rev, Bishop E. C. Greider performed the solemn marriage ceremony in a most impressive manner with very much grace. The <Chureh, which was beautifully decorated with No. 263. French restrictions would reduce the in- quiry into a mere audit of German ac- counts, that the United States could serve no useful purpose by participating in an investigation that could not pro- duce broad and comprehensive plans for the economic rehabilitation of Germany and adequate payments by Germany on reparations accounts, Conversations took place at the State Department today, when Ambassador Jusserand called with advices from his Government, which reached him while Mr. Coolidee and his cabinet were discussing the situation oa the basis of previous exnlanations from Parvis. Today’s message showed no mo- dification of the rench attitude and add- ed nothiny new to the situation. Mr. Hughes, belore receiving the Ambassa- dor, mado a second visit to the White House for a brief conference with the Presi lent, in preparation for presenting the deecision of the United States. M. Jusserand’s visit served to bring out a detailed statement of the limitations on the exvert inqiiry desired by the French Governmoant. With respeet to the sti- pulation mude in Paris, that the experts should not disc.Bs the oceupation of the Runr, the Ambassador exnlained that this would mean, in the Feench view, that the experis could examine all ques- tions as to the resources of the Ruhr, the v=lue of irdustrial estanlishments and the productive pover of the region. France could not, however, discuss the legality of the French oecupation, the system of collection of taxes in the Ruhr region imposed by the French occupation forces, the guarantee seized by French troops, or the agveement recently reach- ed between the French autherities and the German industrialists of the Ruhr. On the guestion of the exact meaning of the French stipulation, ‘‘present capa- city,”” to which the experts would have been limitted in studying German re- sources which might yield the means of pavment of reparations, the Ambuassador explained that this comid be interpreted as meaning the survey of the situation up to and including the year 1930. Both the 1930 aead line and the restrietiuns that would have been imposed by the Ruhr stipulation, were given gen=ral considerati~n by Mr. Hu2hes in formu- lating his answer. {'he 1930 proposal in i'self however, was regirded by the Unatited States Gov. rament as foreclosing the possibility of approaching a compre- hensive study of the situation and the fermulation of far reaching financial plans to avoid economic disaster in Eu- rope.
