Doscatcher
Partial to
Greyhounds
City Canine Constable, How
ever Won't Let Preju-
dices Interfere.

Six years ago. J. s. Valley, newly
appointed dogca,cher, owned a pedi-
greed greyhound that answered to the
name Of Blue" Blue, according TO
VALLEY, was about the fastest running
canine in this part Of the country. The
average rabbit never even had a
chance to get warmed up before Blue
sunk his teeth into him. In compe-
tive races, Blue, VALLEY said yester-
day, was generally sound asleep In
his kennel by the time other canine
pretcnders returned.
But one day Blue was missed. The
neighborhood was searched, but no
Blue was found. Valley finally Wis
tied the dogcatcher and was informed
that Blue had been taken up the nigh,
before but that he had escaped from
the pen. Valley says he never heard
Of the dog thereafter, and for six
year; he ha, nurstd a secret wrath
against dogcatchers In general and
particularly against the man who cor
rallied Blue.
But since VALLEY was appointed
canine constable he admits having
lost much Of his dislike for men ol

Rotarians Of Tulsa have arranged
an independep speakers bureau which
has been placed at tho disposal of
Ralph Talbot, director Of this branch
Of the work.
-There is no doubt but that these
are by far the best OF any Liberty
bond issue SO far" declared Hugh NJ.
Johnson president of the State
National bank, this morning The in
terest rates are equal to those OF many
Municipal bonds. The National City
bank of New York quotes interest
rates on Seattle, Wash, bonds at 40
percent, on Flint, Mich, a. AS, on
Great Falls, Mont, at Ass. These
rates compare iavorably with the
rates jus, announced for the Victory
bonds, They will undoubtedly sell
readily purely from their financial
value as an investment aside from the
patriotic factor that is connected with
them"
The announcement, of the kind and
the interest rate on the Victory
Liberty loan bonds impresses me as
the most happy arrangement that
could he arranged at" said X. J. Ed
wards this morning 1T is particu-
larly fortunate because the man OF
small means may invest his money at
a high rate and at the same time en-.
Joy tax exemption and the man OF
large means is able to make substan-
tial investments with the same ad-
vantageS This feature, taken with
the exchange features, makes the pro-
visions Of the loan the best tha, We
could hope for.

Peace Progress

20 the White House The impression
was conveyed that all important ques-

yoon.
PARIS, April l4-The council OF

stead, President Wilson had long
conference witt, Premier Orlando and
other Italian leaders ON the Adriauc
problem, one of the last vital ques-
tions remaining TO be discussed by
the council,
Premier Orlando recently 'ug-
eested to the president the adylsa-

question OF Fiume and ltaly'S claims
in the eastern Adratic. President
Wilson, in concurring with this sug-
ges'ion, promised TO give the matter

attitude toward dogs Of all breeds and
descriptions will not be tinged with
partially. He admits liking grey
hounds . little better than other spe-
cies and added that due TO their ex-
traordinary fleetness they might oft
times evade him. VALLEY said his de-.
sire for the office was resultant OF
his love for dogs and the need for
money. Whether q successful COM
tination OF these factors could be
made without shortening canine lon
gevity, remains 10 be seen, he said.

Lloyd George Changes POSI-
ton as Result Of Election
Defeat; Treaty TO Be Made
Definite,

PARIS, April l4.-Alarmed by the
result OF the bye election at Hull last
week, Premier Lloyd George OF Great
Britain, according TO the Echo de
Paris, has persuaded the council OF
four 10 reyamp completely the iinan-
cial plan to be incorporated in the
treaty OF peace. Instead OF a payment
Of five billion dollars on account and
annual payments TO be fixed by a COM
mission, il has been decided TO fix at
once the smount which Germany will
have TO pay within fifty years This
amount is kept secret, but it is indi-
Gated by the newspaper that figure
OF fifty billion dollars has been agreed
upon, which includes all war damages
as well asIhe cost OF pensions.
First Payment in 10 Months.
Fixing the total sum will have the
merit OF facilitating treasury opera
tions and the Carrying out OF mutual
measures for assistance among the al
lies The first instalmcnt OF five bill
lion dollars must be paid within eigh-
teen months, the newspaper declares,
Other newspapers, however do not
mention such change in the terms but
all information in French quarters
agrees in regard TO the Saar valley.
It is said that it is settled the mines
viii become the absolute property OF
france, which will police the region.
The region, however, will be admins
tered BY sor, OF directorate urder
the auspices OF the league Of nations.
This directorate will consist OF one
inhabtant OF the Saar region, one
trenchman and three nominees OF the
league.
Election in IS Years.
The regime, it is said. will last for
fifteen years. when a plebiscite will
be held and in the event that the in
habitants elect 10 return TO Germany
that nation will be obliged to buy
back the mines, paying in gold. To
carry out this task would be no mean
undertaking, say the commentators,
especially those OF the Echo de Paris
and lie Journal who declare it TO be
simply repetition OF the Tangier
regime. which. they say, has seemed

stance as follows:
Whereas for several years the
price of coal to the consumer has
, from time to time been largely in

Whereas for a period this increase
In price was attributed to existing
war conditions; and
Whereas in spite of the fact that
since the armistice was signed. No
vember IL, 1918, normal peace condi-
tions have prevailed, the price Of coal
has continued to rise, without any
apparent economic or other proper
reason therefor: Therefore be it
Resolved, That the committee on
interstate commerce, or any subcom-
mittee thereof, be Instructed to make
inquiry into the cause or causes which
have brought about the enormous in
crease in the market price of coal, and
