-Settlement on a very favorable basis of the Franco-American negotiations contering about President Hoover's proposed war debt holiday tonight was expected within a few hours. It was learned from reliable sources that an agreement had been reached on certain of outstanding issues on which the French and American viewpoints disagreed France has agreed to give Germany more than five years to rea loan based on the unconditional reparations, and 10 or more years probably will be granted. France also was said to have reconsidered her suggestion that some of this money be loaned to Jugoslavia and other small European nations whose needs would be provided for by other means. Near Accord With Britain It was learned also that France and Great. Britain are approaching an agreement on the question of the guarantee fund under the Young plan.

This was one of the points about which France was most concerned. A conference scheduled for tonight between Secretary Mellon and the French representatives was postponed so that Mellon and Ambassador Edge might confer with Washington on counter proposals submitted unofficially by the French government. The American representatives meet Premier Laval again tomorrow. The French proposals, were the cabinet, at with a special President Doumer attending, today. The prevailing impression tonight was that the conversations were proceeding satisfactorily, and that a special conference of the Young plan powers is not necessary.

British government intervened dramatically tonight in discussions of President Hoover's moratorium plan by announcing its "willingness" to hold a conference of the powers chiefly concerned if the negotiations at Paris should break down. Great Britain has advised France that the French proposal regarding the Hoover plan constitutes an entire alteration of the Young plan in regard to the question of guarantees, and it is understood that the proposals are unacceptable to Great Britain. Officials would not confirm this information. "Should no early solution be found," a government communique said, the "have expressed their willingness--in order that an agreement should be reached with a minimum of delay--to hold a meeting of the powers chiefly concerned at an early date." MICHIGAN TO TAX ONTARIO TRUCKS Ruling Affects Farmers Who Market Produce Here Frank Fitzgerald, secretary of state, Thursday ruled that Canadian farmers who make daily trips to Detroit with produce, must provide their trucks with Michigan licenses.

He made the ruling while visiting the Detroit branch office of secretary of state at 3136 Cass avenue, of which Joseph J. Burman is manager. After the ruling was made, investigators were sent to the Eastern and Western markets and 20 Canadian farmers were instructed to obtain licenses. Mr. Fitzgerald announced that the state received $105,000 in malt taxes from June 3, when the new malt tax rate became effective, until the end of June.

On that basis he estimated that the Detroit area will produce more than $1.000,000 malt taxes in a year and the year's receipts for the state he estimated to reach $2.500,000, or $500,000 more than was anticipated by the legislature.

Bradley.

Between trips from the pilot house to pose for newspaper photographers or to record for the "talkies," they were besieged by reporters and members of the mayor's reception committee, all desirous of learning the details of their flight. Boisterous Welcome Given They told little, however, and probably thanked the nearly incessant roar of sirens for the "quiet" it gave. Both fliers helped make some of the noise of their own reception. They pulled the levers, from that the released Mocan's blast siren.

Scores of tugs, boats and ferries joined in adding to the roar, as freboats threw streams of water into the a air and crowds ashore waved.

"I want my doctor," she cried to attendants at Receiving hospital.

"I can't remember his name." Her parents were blank on the matter. "Let's see," they said. "There was that doctor for the measles, used to see if she say and there was one with the castor oil complex. 'No," moaned little Dorothy. "I mean my doctor.

The nice one I like 'cause he's so nice." Considering Dorothy was suffering a badly fractured left leg, hospital people didn't wait for the popular medic to be found. Instead, they set the leg themselves. "But it won't be half as nice," wailed Dorothy. "Not half as nice as if my doctor had done it." FIREWORKS, JEFFERSON REACH July 4th. Spectacular Free Display.
