The facts are that Snakes and
Ed Schmidt are the only two men
now in Washington who knew the
species Of reptile that some person
had let escape from Eds zoo. He
wanted the largest snake in town.
He purchased a,foEl that he wished
not only to feed the snake that
cuddled up in his inside coat pocket,
but also to make WI Tsang swear
by its blood. He knew the Chinese
better than to make them take an
oath upon any sacred book. He
proposed TO get the truth that day
and clear up, the mystery of the tn
angle. ReligiOusly he knew that
the Chinese could be classed as
triangular, having rhree different
aspects to their faith. All that he
knew of that wonderful ancient peo-
pie, except they were Christians had
a mixture of Buddhism, Taoism and
Confucisnism.
He loved the people of that far
off land. He recognized their in
direction and knew that while they
had reputation for untruthfulness
and insincerity, every Chinaman
under the stress Of personal danger
or fear is apt to tell falsehood or
refuse to tell anything. Snakes
was satisfied that he could worm
the facts out of WI Tsang but he
did not suspect that after his warn
ing the willy Chinese had out
witted the Washington police force.
They had failed, but Snakes deter

Crime Wave in Paris Is Traced to

Paris, Feb. IAN investigation
shows that Apaches OF all nationalities
dressed in American uniforms were
mainly responsible for the acts of vio-
lence which have caused broadcast
publicity to be given to a alleged
American crime wave in Paris.
1t was further ascertained that as

imagination of sensational local news
papers.
An opportunity was presented to
verify at police headquarters the fig

charged to Americans were discredit-
ed and dwindled to two; 244 hold-ups
and assaults we're reduced by 80 per

United States Spent More Than
TW~enty-six Billion Dollars
in % Months.
Big LOANS TO ALLIES
Unofficial Reports Place Cost of Con-
fIict to Great Britain During
Four Years at About
$40, $40, 900, 900.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The Ameri-
a governments war expenses show
no sign of decreasing materially, ex-
cept in loans to the Allies. although
nearly three months have passed since
the signing of the armistice.
In January the Treasury paid out
about 81, 500, 000, 900 for ordinary war
expenses exclusive of Allied loans, or
only 1000, 900 less than in Decem-
Der; $685. 00, 900 less than in Novem-
Der and considerable more than in
any month heretofore.
The governments aggregate ex-
penses in the % months of war have
been $26, 1856, 900 900, is was calculated.
This includes $7,S75, 900, 900 loaned to
Allies.
Latest unofficial reports place at
$40, $40, 900, 900 the cost of more than
four years of wal to Great Britain
including $3.50, 00O, 900 loaned to her
Allies. From the same British source
also comes the estimate that the war
has cost Germany $3S, ESQ, 600, 900, Of
which So, 100000 was loaned to its
allies.
Payments Being Made Now.
Oficials explained that this was not
to be taken as indication that produc-
ton of war materials is continuing at
the tremendous rate of several months
ago. Manufacturers are now present
ing their bills and receiving payment
for materials delivered long ago, how
ever, and this keeps up expenses.
This liquidation Of val contracts to
be given added impetus after passage
of pending legislation, providing for
valuation of informal orders, is ex-
pected to be a new u Of high
OUTLAWS for the next month or two.
New Loan Essential.
Payments to the Allies fell to about
$3.50, 000, 900 In January. When these
loans were first instituted the govern
ment contemplated turning over about
$500. 00O, 900 credits to the Allies every
month, but actual payments ordinarily
ran around $3.50, 900, 900 monthly.
The treasury cited figures on the
present government outlay to empha-
size the necessity for another big war
loan of five or six billion dollars in
April. Current expenses now are paid
largely out of borrowings from banks
and other purchasers OF the govern
ment's short term certificates of in
d~ebtedness.
