REFUSES 10 DEAL DRECTLY With Germany Till Resistance (Ceases--How Britain Views the Matter. Paris, Aug. 20.--Assuming that it proves acceptable to the Belgian Cabinet, which now has #t under con- sideration, Premier Polncare's reply to the recent British note should be at the London Foreign office today. The reply, which is compiled on the parallel column plan, balances each British point with a French re- joiner. The document is unique in the history of diplomacy. The Freach reply to London leaves the Ruhr and reparations questions exactly where they stood two months ago--France refusing to talk direct- ly to Germany until passive resist- ance ceases and declining to evacuate German territory, except in propor- tion to German payments. On the question of interallied ter, but could not be brought to the surface owing to the inadequate equipment with their boat. A waist and several torn pleces of the girls' clothing were found during the first few hours of the search. The lake was covered from end to end during the long search that continued until darkness, and it was resumed early Monday morning. The body of Isabell Turnbull was the first to be recovercd on Monday morning, and 'was conveyed to R. J. Reid's undertaking parlors. (Continued on page 10.) MANY SEEK JOBS - AT $104 A WEEK Become a Plasterer-and Join Ranks of the Fatted Plutocrats. "Death-trap" Punts. The lesson to be learned from the drowning tragedy of Sunday, by which the lives of four young peo- ple were lost in Collin's Lake, 'Glenburnie, is the great risk run by fishing parties crowding inte "death<trap" punts. Sunday's trage ody was caused by leaky and frail "little boats which were incapable of carrying more than two people at the most, and there was big risk even to that number. Little inland lake places are seldom equipped with safe fishing boats." Comstant baling is required in most of the boats to be had at fishing places, and if there is any kind of a sea running, they are sure of shipping water in quantities. Had the coroner deemed it necessary to have held an inquest into the horrov that has stirred the city so deeply, some val- uable {nformation""might have been forthcoming as to the "death-traps' which were used by the young peo- ple on Sunday, and which sent them to the bottom of the little lake and snuffed out their lives. * 5 Chicago, Aug. 20.-- Plasterers' wages at $104 and more a week are causing student ministers and mem- bers of other professions to take up the trowel in Evanston, where work on a new hotel is in progress. Untii recently Rev. Frank Cummins was a member of the plastering gang. fieorge Sellick, Portland, Oregon, a graduate of Washington Univer- sity, a civil engineer and a holder of several degrees, recently turned down the offer of a professorship tQ join the plasterers.

While the identity of seven victims has been established, the casualties, it is estimated, may be probably ten, as it is impossible at the | present time to obtain any authentic list of those who perished.
