British School Teachers, Due at Montreal Today, Will Visit Treasury Finds Offer of French not Worth British Considering LONDON, July :U. The Daily Telegraph says that prelim-nary negotiations with a view fo settling the French war debt !o (ireat Britain have broken down. The new French offer, although better than that made last spring, is deemed so inadequate by the British Treasm'y that it does not warrant serious consideration from the standpoint of the Urilish taxpayer. The French delegation is returning to Paris to report to Finance Minister Caillaux and, unless he is able to make u much more substantial offer, it is probable that (ireat Britain) will prefer to await Ihe outcome of the Franco-American funding conversations before resuming "pour parlers."
