WE BEG TO ADVISE
YOU"-

Real Estate Editor. Washington TIMES:
I am living in apartment under n
lease that will not expire for several
months. Some time ago the owner came
to me and asked for an increased renta! Of
10 per cent, explaining that tn money
was needed to make necessary improve
ments I agreed to pay the increase. but
so far the improvements have not been
made Must l continue to pay the in
creased price. or can I pay merely the
amount mentioned in the lease?
J. II. NanF.
The agreement was entirely a VOL
untary one, and, being oral, did not
alter the terms of your written lease.
and you are not legally bound to
abide by it Under the Salisbury act
your rent cannot be raised during the
term Of your lease so long as you
continue to pay rent and abide by all
its reasonable provisions.

Market Still Nervous

Stock prices made partial recovery
yesterday. That was natural Sc
quel to the demoralizing liquidation
that swept the list in the closing hour
on Thursday. But the market move
ment still continued to reflect high
state of nervous tension on the part
of holders of stocks. Sharp advances
were recorded at the opening, running
from two to three points in many is
sues. Then fresh selling appeared,
causing a swift and sharp reaction,
carrying many Of the rails and indus
trials to new low records. In the af-
ternoon the trend was upward again
and the closing was comparatively
firm despite considerable irregularity
Speculative buying for the advance did
not reach important proportions.
Probably the main support of the
market came from purchases by trad
ers who sold the market for the fall
on Thursday. Plenty of money was
available for speculative purposes at

Britain Aghast
Over Warning
OF Bankruptcy
Press Declares Extravaganza
of Government and the
People Is Even More vi
tai Than Labor Troubles

LONDON, Aug. 8.-Great Britain's
financial condition, which ]. Austen
Chamberlain, Chancellor Of the Ex-
chequer, told the House of Commons
last night shows the country is head
ed for bankruptcy, was brought for
ward to-day by the newspapers as the
most vital problem of the hour, even
overshadowing labor troubles. The
Chancellor's statement recently that
British expenses are s4,500,O00 ($22,-
500,000) daily came as distinct shock
to the country, but was emphasized by
the details given by Mr.. Chamberlain
last night.
1t was remarked by some of the
newspapers that this constituted a
criticism of the Cabinet, Of which he
is member, but his view was in
dorsed by Premier Lloyd George.
Virtually every newspaper in Lon
don to-day joined a chorus of con-
demnation of the national expenditures,
and newspapers hostile to the gov
ernment criticised it for cts rash,
wasteful extravaganza" The House
of Commons, it was remarked, was
largely responsible because it sur
rendered control of expenditures.
"The Daily News" declared "even
the present House of Commons is at
last aghast at the governments reck-
less prodigality and its total lack of
any policy designed to stay the coun-
try's headlong career toward bank
ruptcy."
The newspaper fixed on the army and
navy as the chief causes of extrava-
gance, condemned the maintenance of
the present great military force and
deprecated the proposal of the United
States to create "a standing army of
half Million" which, it said, may we'll
be hailed as a setback to the whole
cause of disarmament"
"The Daily Mail" which announced
that the forthcoming second report of
the Air Ministry will contain amazing
revelations of extravaganza more sem
sational than any yet divulged, said the
governments extravaganza is one of
the direct causes of labor unrest.
The newspaper added that if the
present government cannot reduce ex-
penses one must be found that can
The newspaper generally expressed the
hope that the public, which SO far has
seemed unappreciative of the danger,
may be reused to heed the Chancellor's
warning.
The country is indulging in an orgy
of spending, several of the newspapers
remarked, and is contributing thereby
to the high cost Of living. People
who temporarily have relatively great
wealth, it was said, are willing to pay
any price rather than forego grati6ca-
ton of their desires, so that while
necessities of life are higher than ever
there never was so much money spent
on luXurics. All those who deal in
jewelry, automobiles, costly apparel
and entertainments of all sorts we're
said to be doing unprecedented busi-
ness.
The cry against profitccrs was said
by the newspapers to be voiced by
these reckless spenders as we'll as by
the poor, but actual cases Of profiteer-
ing are rarely followed up successfully
In this connection, it was said, the
measures being taken in the United
States to reduce the cost of living are
being watched with much interest

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Assurances
from the Colombian government that
American interests in that country will
be fully protected and will not be sub
jected to the hazards of American prop
erty in Mexico will be required in ad
vance of payment by the United States

will be made part of the resolution

a sub committee Of Senator Fall, Re-
publican, of New Mexico, chairman;
Senator Marcus A. Smith, of Arizona,
Democrat, and Senator McCumber, of

ed to draft the reservations.
American interests in Colombia rep
resent an investment of $S,000,O0O, Sem
ator Fall said A decree recently pro-
mulgated by the President of the Co.
lomban Republic provides for the ina
tionalization" of privately owned, as
we'll as publicly owned, oil lands
throughout the country.
1t was decreed in the committee that
although there can be no objection to
the NATURALIZATION" of public lands by
Colombia, the government should not
interfere or seek to prevent the opera
ton or development of privately owned
lands on which oil is being produced or
is likely to be produced. The ma
tionalzation" of such interests, the
committee felt, would amount to con-
fiscation.
