Ottawa, Aug. 26th.—Canada’s repre- sentation at the meeting of the inter-Al- lied veterans fed atlon in Brussels, Bel- aium, early in § ytember, will be through the medium o: the Britizh L:gion Dele- zates., It was stated yesterday morning at Dominion headquarters of the federa- tion that the executive of the association did not consider the expenditure of send- ing delegates warranted, especially in view of the fact that the view of the British legion on matters of interna- tional import were fully in accord with those of Canadian ex-service men. The egion has been asked t, empower its Jelegates to speak for Canada. The im- portant matter before the meeting is the question of the method to be taken to impress its views concerning the estab- ishment of a “‘world court’” to outlaw war, upon the various nations. 1 Chassey Beaupre, France, Aug. 26th, - M. Poincare, in an address here today, served notice on Germany, that she must make an heroic effort to pay reparations, Juse as France ehd in 1871, ‘The address was delivered at the dedication of a mon- ument to war dead. In it the Premier tcld Germany not to look for any redue- tion in her reparations debt. What we did 53 vears ago, said M. Foincare, they can try to do now. If they do not try to do it they will compel us to enforc: «gainst them the menace they made then, “‘pay us or we remain’’. France, continued M. Poincare, had to pay five billion franes, which was an enormous sum then. He told how the couniry ehad raised other billions to pay the ex- penses of the war simply by getting to work. He added that the French pay- ments could be proved, while as for the German Chancellor Stresseman assertion regarding Germany’s payments, he de- clared, it is vain to pretend that Ger- many had already paid 43 billion gold marks cr even 25 billion as was said by ¢n economic investigation of Washington, which it has been iinpossible for me to indentify and which is not listed in the congressional directory or the official year book of the Federal Capital. M. Poincare came to Chassey, a village of 180 inhabitants to show the Governments sympathy te the smallest of France’s war-stricken communities, His weekly reparations warning to Germany was cgelivered in front of the oneroom City THE S7.

His address was delivered 1o the pres- ence of barely four hundred persons, most of whom were officials and the staff of (zeneral Maginot, who also was pres- ent. ‘‘These are arbitrary estimates, in degling with German alleged pay- ments. In any case they show what strange results we would getif interna- tional experts ever werg entrusted with the task of determiring Germany’s ca- pacity to pay, and in this conneection[ dont need to say that our opinion weill not change’’. The Premier justified his concern for the future by recalllng the past. "‘Germany made no mys ery of her intentions duringthe hostilities. Several times she numasked her war w.ims and up to the day she fe t her Fopes vaiish, she always p'ann«d to erush us forever’'. The other Ailies, continued M.
