Special Despotch 10 The Sun.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Clalms be-
tween the French Government and the
American Expeditionary Forces for SER
delivered in France will be settled early
in october, the War Department was
advised to-day by its negotiators In
France.
Negotiators set September as the
final date for presentation of claims on
both sides. Unless protests had been
made prior to september. the claims are
to be considered as approved.
Exceptions to bills and claims will be
adjusted, If other means fail. by the Par
lxer Liquidation Commission sent to
France by the War Department
Separately from the A. E. +. claims,
financial relations between France and
the United States for the period before
the armistice have been adjusted with
a balance of S160,77S,912.79 in favor of
this country. This covers work done by
the United States for France in this
country. A. Z. F. claims embrace largely
claims of the French Government against
the United States for work done in
France.
NJ. Loucheur, French Minister of Re-
construction, recently approved the
agreement reached May 29 regarding
the pre-armistice claims in favor of the
United States. Besides the $160.77S,-
912.79 owed this country by France for
pre-armistice work. France owes $780,
000,00 for railway equipment pur-
chased since November IL.
Judge Parker will receive word Of the
settlement reached for work on this side
and will offset the favorable balance
against French claims for work done
for the A. Z. F., which he is now nego-
tiating with French commissioners.
The War Department has lost heav-
lily In exchanging its funds in Europe
back into American dollars. In one re-
cent exchange an army finance officer
received s52S,625 for 100000 Swiss
francs, normally worth about s579,150
Exchange rates are still dropping. The
last treasury statement quoted British
pounds at s4.21 each. French francs at
sos per dollar; Belgian francs, s.35 per
dollar. and Italian lire, 9.55 per dollar.

her with little trouble--at least, nothing

was real sociable with the boys aboard

taneously. The wild Yells which broke
forth from the men or the a. &C. #. on
the transport Arcadia az she locked al
the army base at Hoboken could have
been due to no other reason, they
thought But they were wrong. For
the men on the Arcadia, and particu-
larly the men of the Sixtieth Guard
Company, had heard that Mike was
here.
Mike. Il should be stated for the bone
f1t of those who have never crossed the
sea on an army transport, Is Mike Gill
hooley. 10 years old. half Belgian, but
mostly Irish. Mile has visited the United
states as n stowaway four times since
last spring. and Is now at Ellis Island
where he is treated with all the respect
full sollcitude which might he accorded
an untamed Bengal tiger.
When he arrived on Wednesday in the
brig of the transport Kroonland, said
brig having its door sma shed all to tooth
picks, he mentioned that he had tried
to sail with friends of the Goth Guard
Company on the transport Arcadia but
had been put OFF. So he had taken the
Kroonland instead, much faster boat.
Elected From ship Nine Times.
From the jubilant doughboys Of the
Arcadia was learned the story of Mike s
being put off the Arcadia. This part of
Mikes yarn had been scoffed at by the
immigration authorities at Ellis Island
who had business dealings with Mike.
They didn't believe it, Why, they
couldn't keep that boy off continent
and they were gin-swlggled II they could
see how he was going to be kept off a
ship.
1t now develops that Mike was telling
the truth when he said he had been put
off the Arcadia. He was--nine times
each time more firmly than the last
The ninth time they hauled Mike ant
part of the pantry out of the Arcadia
II really began TO look as IL the Arcadia
would not stand the strain of parting
or rather being parted. from Mike again
so strategy was invoked. Somebody
tied Mike firmly to the dock at Brest ant
made n pier head leap for the Arcadia
as that vessel left Europe at full speed
ahead.
This time the Arcadia got away and
the Sixtieth Guard Company relapsed
into gloom as they thought how youths
high ambitions are thwarted I'm this
cruel world. About this time Mike had
bitten through his letters and decided
the Arcadia was too far out to be
reached by swimming. So while the
SiXtieth waxed pensive Mike hustled
around Brest and found that the Kroon-
land was due to sail in a couple OF
days for New York. and furthermore
that she could sail circles around the
Arcadia.

LONDON, Sept. 11.-There was again a
very keen demand for loans and a
further amount was borrowed from the
Bank of England at Az per cent. for a
week. In the market 3h and 312 per
cent. was paid for fresh money and even
higher rates were heard of. There was
little business in the discount market,
owing to scarcity of money.
The tendency of the stock markets
was on the whole quite cheerful and the
volume Of business was maintained.
Home railway stocks naturally were
rather dull on labor possibilities and
French loans weakened on a converse
movement in exchange. There were
again buyers of Argentine railway stocks
and the markets for oil and tea shares
showed strength. Industrial securities
attracted attention. A feature in the
oil share market was a rise in American
Eagle, buying Of which was partly or

on expectations of a bonus.

TT Per Cent. Found Diseased.

"Of the 10000 examined n per cent.
were found to need medical or dental
treatment; sc per cent. were suffering
from preventable diseases. Two per cent.
were found to have tuberculosis, l per
cent having IL in active form. Accord
ing to that proportion there would be
100000 persons in the United States
suffering from active tuberculosis"
Framington, owing either to fear or
to local pride at being selected as a
subject for the experiment has estab-
lished a number. of clinics to supplement
the work done by the N. T. A. The town
supports four infant clinics, one prenatal
clinic, one pre-school clh1ic, one dental
clinic for children and one nose and
throat clinic. All are free, and this
work done by the municipality Is
| cqUalled by work done by various manu-
| featuring and other interests in the
town. The year before the campaign
started when the Metropolitan Life gave
! its fund Tie town was spending 80 cents
per capita on it's health. Now 1t spends
So per capita.

| from tuberculosis in the United States
and for every death there are eight
patients suffering from the disease" DR.
Armstrong said. "Since the measures
taken in Framington have resulted In a

able tendency it Is greatly to be hoped
that all over the country there will be
an effort to find out where we stand as
regards physical strength and to i'm
prove living conditions and to bring VI
