are desired in order to obtain a suit
able apartment.
Mayor Carson rented the first
apartment in the Oliver annex. and

Whatever may be the opinion in
America. or England, or France, re

keen desire for such trade at the
conferences here.

on trade subjects, included:
One English ship owner and di-
rector Of one of Germany's biggest

MERICANS SEND
OFFICIAL NOTE
YankS in England Ask Lodge
and Hitchcock for Early
Ratification.

Ey Associated Press.
LONDON. Dec. 23.-The Ameri-
can Chamber of Commerce of Lon
don has addressed identical mes
sages 90 United States Sens. Lodge
and Hitchcock on the subject of the
ratification of the peace treaty.
The American Chamber of Com
mcrce is composed of representa-
tiyes of an the leading American
bankers. merchants and business
firms doing business in Great Brit
ain. and also of the leading OF the
leading British shipping. banRmg
and business concerns trading with
the United States. The latter. how
ever, have no voting power, the con-
troll OF the chamber being in the
hands Of firms Incorporated in Am
erica and American citizens. The
message follows
THE failure of the United States
to ratify the treaty and enter into
working arrangements with the al
lies is causing our motives for en-
tering the war and our hesitation
in going into the reconstruction
plans tC be misrepresented and mis-
understood.
Owes IL TO SELF.
America owes il 20 herself as
well as to the world TO come TO the
help Of the disorganized and starry
ing portions of Europe The inter
national machinery started by the
peace conference is falling TO pieces.
All actual progress towards peace
is checked and peoples are slowly
drifting toward famine and an
archy. which can oc remedied if the
United States will decide quickly
and assume her responsibilities.
Business manufacture. transpOrta-
ton and even agriculture are wholly
or partly paralyzed.
Whether the covenant he rati-
fled as il stands or with reservations
is infinitely less important than
that some international working ar
rangement be agreed on which will
remove the uncertainty and enable
private enterprise, upon which the
main burden of reconstruction must
fall. 20 get to work without further
delay.
I'VE therefore urge YOU 10 use
your utmost endeavors to secure rat
ification OF the treaty, with such
reservations as may have to be
made TO break the present dead
lock"

France OLDeS no Billion

[From the st. Paul Pioneer-Press1
French loans to other nations of
Europe have left the nation in a
week position in some respects, for
the Russian and Turkish loans arc
not even paying interest.
The war has changed Franco from
creditor nation to debtor nation,
so far as present income is cor
cerned. Prior to the war France
had lent to other countries and in
dustrial enterprises outside of the
nation billion dollars. Much of
this was to Russia, Bulgaria and
Turkey and these loans are yielding
no return to France to-day.
On the other hand France, from
August 1, 1914, to March 81, 1919,
has voted credits of $34,300,000 for
military and civil purposes. To-ady
France is obliged to raise not less
then 3*h billion dollars to pay its
annual expenses. The total esti-
mated debt of France is about 10
billion dollars, or about $1,000 per
capita. The estimated public wealth
of France is a little less than $1,000
per capita.
France needs raw materials and
machinery at once If industry in that
country is to resume its earning and
producing capacity. Railroads and
canals need to be restored and re-
paired. Only by large scale produc-
tion can the nation hope to solve
the pressing financial problemA-

Names We Smile At
[From Answers, London.

lFrom Answers, London.
''If a party had voice." to quote
an unkind rhyme, what mortal
would be Bugg by choice?" And
yet the pioneer Bugg was man of
substance, who dwelt in a manor
house, from which he derived his
name. The first Coward was no pol
troon, but a cowherd, who tended
his cattle; just as the first Rascal
was no knave, but man who prob
ably bore some resemblance to a
lean stag or rascal; and the original
Snooks hailed from Sevenoaks,
whose corrupted name he bore.
Hobson, name at which some af-
feet to scoff, is as venerable as it is
respectable, for we read of a Lewrie
Hpbbesune, Suffolk landowner, in
the days of Edward the Confessor;
and the Buggins and Boggs, il they
did not come over with the Con-
queror. at least came over with some
of his race.
Gotobed is no name to smile at, for
1t is a variant of Cuthbert, which
means "war-bright," and the first
Gotobed was probably a warrior of
fame. Miggs is a synonym for
Strength" and Wildgoose signifies
"resolute hostage" Devil,is merely
De Vile of honorable French an
cestery, and bears no relationship to
Hellman, whose ancestor was a
Heller, or roofmaker, and probably
a good Christian.
