BIGGEST LOSERS
BY REPUD|ATION

PARIS, Jan. 80 (by maiD.-The re-
pudiation by the Bolsheviki govern
ment of Russia's entire bonded debt
caused some anxiety among the
French people who held at least half
of the debt of the empire outstanding
at the beginning of the war
Eighteen billions of francs of Rus
sian bonds, at the price of issue, We're
listed on the Paris Bourse. Twelve
billions according to the lowest estim-
ate and fifteen billions according to
other calculations, were bought by the
French public.
Servants in white aprons, bare
headed market women, domestics OF
all categories and men in the blouses
of the peasant and the laborer made
up the long ines of investors in front
of the wickets whenever Russian loans
were offered for sale.
Il haven't sou invested in Rus
STA, a millionaire Partisan said to
the Associated Press, but every one
of my servants has one or more Rus
sian bonds. Another millionaire said
the Geme was true of his household
"Ilste2d of hitting the counting house
and the salon, the Bolsheviki are hit
ting the servants hall and the Mo-
stairs was the way he put the sitna-
ton.
There is no little apprehension in
Socialist circles as to the effect of
, this heavy blow the extreme revolu-
tionary element in Russia has de-
livered at the extreme liberal element
in France. a peasant or workingman
who may overlook or disbelieve news
of the Bolshevik excuses or miscon-
strue their effect will be unable to
doubt the evidence of his own de-
spoilment.
Until now the holders of Russian
bonds have been treasured by the pay
ment of the January coupons which
the French treasury assumed. 1t does
not appear yet, however, whether the
French government will assume the
burden indefinitely and if the bank
ruptcy of the revolution is allowed to
hnannon Of ho
of the smaller investors who have
been financing the Russian empire
since 1888 will be ruined.
A contrast is drawn here between
the action of the Bolsheviki and that
of the French revolution. The Maxi
malists pretend that the money loaned
to Russia was used to buy arms to
keep the people in subsection. This
was true to far greater extent of
the money borrowed by the French
monarchy prior to 1883, yet the con
vention made it point of honor to
take those debts to the account of the
republic.
The claims that money furnished bv
France brought no benefit to the PEG
pie of Russia is also contested 1t is
possible to trace the money through
the official list of the loans floated in
Paris and it is found that more than
three-fourths of the capital represent
ed was employed to buy railroads, to
build thcm, or to develop industry and
agriculture.
Russia had improved only about a
third of her. land at the beginning Of
/ the war and the question is asked
how the peasants to whom the unim-
! proved land is turned over will find
means of improving it if Russian credit
is forever destroyed by the repudia-
/ ton of her debts.

when one of their guests at Sunday
dinner made the perfectly simple and
natural request that he be permitted

old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop ont
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know Of
has so large a SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that so many people claim, 1t fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address

The surgeon in our ward was an
American, Harvard unit man, named
Frost. We nicknamed him "Jack

Tommy was to be cut up he had no OBJ

"Jack Frost" was to WELD the knife.

The dressier separate skirts are
made Of supple weaves in silk; their
wearers sharing favors among satins,
silk poplin and tricolet. Satin. it al
most goes without saying, is first in i'm
pOrtance-it is used for about all the
outer garments of women, from hats
to slippers. Tricolet is a novel fabric
by comparison, but is approved by the
most smartly dressed women, and
poplins are tried and familiar to every
one.
Besides these silks for dressy sepa-
rate skirts there are novelties in heav-
Ter weaves for sport skirts. The sport
skirt, in fact, has reached heights of
beauty and style far in advance of any
thing in it's animated and remarkable
history. Possibly the restraint and re-
serve that marks wartime designing
has operated to the advantage of
sport apparel. But the time is COM
ing when a new class, with a new
name, will be formed for many of the
smart, informal garments that now
come labeled for sport wear.

When Horses Get dipped"

When an army horse is wounded
about the face or jaw it is not Sent
down to the veterinary lines, but is
kept to be tended by its driver.
Then it is that good drivers care
comes in, for the men tend them most
carefully, feeding them by hand, boil
ing their oats, making them mashes
and spending most of the day with
their charges until they can feed in
comfort again. 1t is this personal
care Of the man for his horse that has
been the cause of the new order that
all horses have to be returned from
hospital to their own units again; for a
mans care is by no means transferred
to the same extent to new team OF
horses.
