THINKS GERMANY
CAN PAY MORE

BERLIN, July 8.-Richard Cal
wer, financial writer, believes
that Germanys offer to financial
indemnity supplies her enemy
weapon which may encourage
them to force her to pay a still
larger sum than that offered. He
writes:
"Gfmany, they will say, ap-
pears to be still quite solvent and
her credit unimpaired if she is
able to offer gold indemnity of
one hundred billion on her own
initiative. If she volunteers that
much, she is in reality capable of
exceeding that limit, will be the
enemies logic, and it is surprising
to think this had not occurred
before to men responsible for the
offer.'

Swimmers will have another
chance to win medals and establish
a new record for one mile on the

mile contest will be held under the
direction of V. Grant Forrer, AS
sistant City Park superintendent.
The race will start from Reilly street,
at 1.30 p. m. The finish will be at
Market street bridge.
This race is open to all swimmers.
1t was on the Kipona program but
due to the fact that only two swim
mers reported for the contest it was
called off. Since that big day local
swimmers have been anxious to have
a contest for the medals. They are
worth going after.
Entries will be received at the
Office of the City Park Commits
sioner up to 10 o'clock a. m. Tues
day. 1t is now up to the local swim
mers to get busy. They can leave
their names at either the Reist or
Dintaman lighthouses. There must
be five entries to assure the race.
With the large number of SWIM
mers in Harrisburg it is the belief
there should be no less than 25
entries.
