AMERICAN IS IN ROLL OF PEACEMAKER
LONDON, July 18.—An American again today held the center of the European stage in the role of peacemaker.
Col. James A. Logan, Jr., unofficial American observer on the reparations commission, has advanced a compromise plan for working out sanctions and their application under the Dawes plan, and it seemed likely both France and England would accept them.
England and France have held widely different views on the question of sanctions, the former endeavoring first to protect the investors in the proposed $200,000-000 loan to Germany, while France had insisted that the reparations under the Versailles treaty and subsequent pacts should be the first consideration.
The allied conference again postponed the full session today to give the sub-committee further time to complete their reports. In the most important of these committees appointed to work out the plans of sanctions, a deadlock had been reached between France and England.
Philip Snowden, British member, presented a memorandum on sanctions which France would not accept. Pierre Brillau Della Rocca presented one for France which England would not accept.
Into this situation Col. Logan tossed his compromise and it was reported to be acceptable to France. Observers say that he has probably insured the success of the conference.
The French memorandum proposed that in case of Germany being declared in default by the reparations commission "the interested governments immediately confer to take prompt and effect sanction."

Every possible source of power, including the small steam or gasoline for Diesel units of consumers, has been pressed into service. Altogether the load has been reduced approximately 25 per cent. Unless the company suffers the loss of any generating plants, the present restrictions are sufficient to enable the power company to hanlle its load to the end of the year.

Pierretti Della Recca presented one for France which England would not accept.
Into this situation Col. Logan tossed his compromise and it was reported to be acceptable to France. Observers say that he has probably insured the success of the conference.
The French memorandum proposed that in case of Germany being declared in default by the reparations commission "the interested governments immediately confer to take prompt and effect sanction insuring an early end of the default and a return to the execution of the Dawes plan."
It added the phrase "so as to safeguard both the lenders (under the proposed loan) and of reparation for the damages sustained by the allies."
Snowden declared this confused default under the Dawes plan with default under the Versailles treaty. He offered a plan with the following remedy in case of default.
"The governments interested acting as joint trustees for the financial interests of persons who lend money upon the lines of the Dawes plan, will confer at once as to how to put in operation such measures as they shall agree to take to protect themselves and the investors."
Both plans provided for the appointment of an American as "agent general" of reparations, and as it has already been proposed that an Englishman be named to the reparations commission to represent the bond-holders, the French felt they would be left at the mercy of an Anglo-American alliance.

NEW RECORDS MAKE BY U.S. SWIMMERS
PARIS, July 18 — American mermaids and mermen cleaved the water like human fishes today and at the end of the sixth day's competition in the Olympic water contests, had set two new world records, two new Olympic marks, and brought the total points up to 116. Sweden was in second place, far in the rear, with 39 points; Great Britain was third with 36; Australia fourth with 35; France fifth with 14; and Belgium sixth with eight.
New world's records were set by both men and women. In winning the 400 metre relay the women set a new mark of 4:58-4.5. The world's record for men was set in the 800 metre relay, semi-final, the American swimmers covering the distance in 9 minutes, 58-2-5 seconds.
In winning the 400 metre free stroke, Johnny Weismuller, of Chicago, set a new Olympic record of 5 minutes 41-5 seconds. Warren Kealoha of Honolulu made a new Olympic mark in winning the 100 metre backstroke in 1:13-1-5.
The women also shone in the springboard diving contest when the Americans finished one, two, three, the event being won by Miss Bettie Beeker of Atlantic City and Philadelphia.
The only event lost by the Americans today was in the 200 metre breast stroke for women, when Miss Morton, the English swimmer, set a new Olympic mark of 3:33-1-5. Miss Geraghty of New York, finished second in this event.
HELEN WILLS MOVES INTO NET FINALS
PARIS, July 18.—Miss Helen Wills, California girl wonder and American woman tennis champion won her way into the finals of the Olympic woman's tennis singles championship today when she defeated Mile. Golding of France in straight sets. Scores 6-2, 6-1.
Miss Wills will meet the winner of the match between Miss Kathleen McKane or Lingland and Mile. Vlasto of France, for the Olympic championship.
Golden haired Mme. Golding entered the court with a defeated air. She played listlessly and the match with Miss Wills was an uninteresting one. Most of the spectators near the court lost interest and watched the Richards-Morphurgo match, which was played simultaneously on another court.
There was a high wind blowing which carried the ball away from the players. Mme. Golding's peculiar bounding service bothered Miss Wills in the first game and the Frenchwoman won a love game. She repeated this on the third serve, aided by an occasional easy tap just over the net which caught Miss Wills flatfooted. Seeing that victory was certain, Miss Wills did not speed up her play any more than necessary, coming up to the net only once. Miss Wills was composed as ever, in marked contrast to her opponent.
Mme. Golding won only one game of the second set. This was the result of Miss Wills' service fault, she netting the balls.
Mme. Golding is the third ranking woman player of France, but cespite this, the crowd wondered after her exhibition today how she was able to advance into the semi-finals.

After Flowing Several Hours Water Broke in and Hole Sanded Up
Faith in the oil possibilities of the Seal Beach district stood vindicated today in the announcement by officials of the Shell Oil Co. that Bryant Well No. 1 had been brought in at a daily production estimated at 2000 barrels of high quality oil.
After flowing for several hours water broke in from above and the well was immediately sanded off and production stopped to allow the trouble to be corrected. The well will be put on production within a week or two, officials of the Shell Company announced.
A big sump hole is being scraped and other arrangements are being made to take care of the product.
The Shell company, the Seal Beach Oil Co., and the Standard all have large leases in the Seal Beach district and considerable new drilling is expected to follow the putting on production again of the Bryant Well.
At 3000 feet in the Bryant well there was a gas blowout that blew out the casing and several months was required to side track the broken pieces so that drilling could be resumed.
The well was brought in at a little more than 4400 feet and promises to be a bonanza, officials admitted.
Most of the lots in the city are leased to the Seal Beach Oil Co., or are included in the H.R. Dabney lease, which the Bayside Land Co. is attempting to have forfeited, it being alleged that Dabney has not lived up to the specifications of the lease. The Seal Beach Co. has a well down more than 5000 feet but has been unable to get a water shut-off.
