Waller's Case A Scheme The World Reports Paris View
The World reprints a Siecle statement that the American government abandoned the Waller affair, with Paris correspondent Hussee asked for exact reports from the U S ambassador and French foreign office. Telegraphs paraphrase a Courier des Etats piece saying the Waller matter is financial speculation rather than a diplomatic negotiation. Washington lawyers offer explanations as French telegrams appear driven by an American syndicate.
