OUR Debt TO BRITAIN
TOTALS $35,O0O,OOO
This Is Final Balance Figured in
Mutually Incurred War
Expenses.
eNeseAAAAeeeN&,se~e

Washington.-In the final financial
accounting between the United States
and Great Britain on war expenses our
government will owe the British about
$50, 100000 on account of the trans
portation of troops and supplies across
the Atlantic.
Already the War Departments
Liquidation Commission, headed by
Judge Edwin B. Parker, has worked
out an adjustment of al British-Amer.
ican claims involving the purchase Of
supplies in this country and in Eng
land, on the basis of which Great Brit
ain owes the United States $35,0O0,e00
AS an offset to this British debt to
us the charges incident to the trans
portation of American troops to and
from France and certain supplies
transported by British ships will ag-
gregate upward of S70,000,000.
Of the total, $16,500,000 is on ac-
count of Liberty motors and repre-
sents about II per cent. of the cost OF
the Liberties and means that Great
Britain will retain II per cent of the
motors manufactured here
Final adjustments have not been
reached with France and Italy, but
rapid progress is being made.
Final figures on the cost of trans
porting American soldiers in British
ships average between $40 and $50 per
man. representing actual cost and no
profit.

NO MYSTERY IN French
ALLIANCE, SAYS WILSON
Pledge to Help Her if Attacked
by Germany Is Supple
mentary.

Washington. - Secretary Tumulty
made public this cablegram from Pres
ident Wilson regarding the proposed
pledge to France:
Happily there is no mystery OF
privacy about what l have promised
the government here.
81 have promised to propose to the
senate supplement in which we shall
agree, subject to the approval of the
council of the League of Nations, tC
come Immediately to the assistance
of France in case of unprovoked at
tack by Germany, thus merely hasten
ing the action to which we should be
bound by the covenant of the League
of Nations"
The President thus makes it plain
that action by the United States under
the pledge, if approved by the senate
will be subject to approval by the
League of Nations. 1t also indicates
that the pledge is for the purpose ot
enabling this country to act in case OF
en- emergency.
There Is a growing feeling here
however, that the pledge to France
will be adopted by the American sen.
ate as a supplement to. the peace
treaty. There is a feeling also that
the League of Nations covenant will
be adopted by the senate, and that the
treaty, the covenant, and the supple.
mentary pledge will stand or fall to-
gether.

Farm Labor Scarcity.

That there is an alarming scarcity
of farm labor in Maryland, was the
statement of William Lee Amos, who
Is in charge of the Farm Service Di-
vision of the United States Depart
ment of Labor, recently located in the
Hoen Building, Baltimore.
Mr.. Amos is conducting back to
the farm" movement, which was in
full swing Just prior to the war, but
which, like many other movements,
was checked because of enlistments
and the draft He confessed that he
Is meeting with many obstacles, due
chiefly to lack of desire on the part
Of returning soldiers and men who left
farm work to engage for the time in
more lucrative employment in the
cities to go back to farm life again.
Farmers" said Mr.. Amos, ''are Of
fering better inducements today than
ever before for farm laborers, and we
have a standing demand for single and
married men at prices from $40 to $50
and even as high as $40 month, with
few to fill the places. The reason is
not so much because of the wages but
because men who get taste of city
life hesitate to go back to farm life.
The one solution that see is for the
farmers to introduce more of the vii
lage, or community life, into their
scheme of employment but this has
been difficult to put into effect"

CAPI tai
Board Upholds Prison Warden.


The Board of Prison Control, in a
report made to Governor Harrington,
exonerates Warden w. E. Lankford,
of the House of Correction, and ex-
presses confidence in his management
Of the institution.
The promised investigation of the
medical conditions at the prison is
ready to begin. To the task here has
been assigned DR.. c. Hampson Jones,
head of the Bureau of Communicable
Diseases of the State Board, and DR..
Victor F. Cullen.
In addition to expressing confidence
in Mr.. Lankford the board referred
to Frank Metzerott. the minority
member Of the board as trouble
maker" The board also severely
criticises the actions of the Prisoners
Aid Society.
Expressing confidence in William
q. Lankford as warden of the insti-
tuition; censuring the conduct and acts
of Frank Metzerott, member of the
board; severely criticisfng the actions
of the Prisoners Aid Society, and
announcing that medical board of
inquiry had been appointed to study
conditions at the House of Correction,
and likewise admitting that the med
tcal side of the situation needed some
changes, are the features in the report
Of the State Board of Prison Control,
which was submitted to Governor Har-
rington.
The report is resume of the 'testi-
mony taken at the investigation into
the management of the House of Cor
rection and is signed by Charles T.
Crane, chairman, and DR.. J. Hubert
Wade, treasurer of the board. The
two Democratic members of the
board specifically state that Mr..
Metzerott, Republican, was not asked
to sign the report.
Aside from it's condemnation of Mr..
Metzerott and the Prisoners Aid Off
Gals, the announcement of the ap-
pointment of the medical board to
make a survey is one of the refresh
Ing items in the work. The board,
likewise, makes it clear that it has
placed the physician directly under
the control of the warden of the in
stitution, who is responsible for the
medical affairs of the institution as
well as the general management.
