Glass Proposes Loading

Washington, Jan. 9.-That the
world is practically bankrupt, is the
Interpretation put by economists
upon the move of Secretary OF the
Treasury Carter II. Glass in urging
that the short-time credits be ex-
tended to the allied countries to
long-tcrm notes.
Some $475,000,00O are due an
nually to the United States govern
ment by allied countries on loans
extended to them TO finance them
selves through the great war. ''The
collection in dollars of this interest, !"
says Secretary Glass, "under present
circumstances, would be no less
disastrous to American interests
of our debtors"
lic therefore proposes loading
'hiS debt upon future generations:
Pensions should be made by de-
icning and spreading over Il later
period the payment OF interest which
would accrue during the next two
or three years.

ly that Bryan's appeal at the Jack-

the effect of splitting the party Oh
weakening the presidents control.
According to widespread belisf,
the treaty will go into the 1927
campaign as the paramount issue.

such a course. aN aA
Bryan finished his second speech
at $3.50 this morning with this
blunt declarations: 4 ~

Bryan's closing shot startled the

queters crowded around him. SHAKE

out, some being loud in their denua-
citation of the Nebraskan.
The Wilson message, read at tho
Jackson day banquet, in which hs
urged no compromise and making
the treaty an election issue, failed
to clear up the question Of whether
he will be a third term candidate.
Democratic leaders understand that
he will not be, although he may
participate in the campaign and
swing his influence to the candi-
date on the floor OF the convention
whom he deems best fitted to con-
tinue his work for the treaty, and
campaigning actively for the elec-
ton of a senate whicl, will ratify
the document as he wants it rati-
Ified--without reservations altering
the meaning.
The split between President Will
son and his former secretary OF
state, William J. Bryan, came as r.
climax to u day which had beeH
surcharged with political tension.
None except possibly a few in the
closest counsel with the president
knew what the chief executives
message to the democrats would
contain and it was predicted by
many that he would make a formal
announcement of his third candi~
dacy. II

himself as to what he intended to

SAVE THE WATER

Users of the mountain water are
urged TO be careful in it's use.
The rainfall has somewhat dimin-
i.hed of late and the springs have
correspondingly decreased their flow.
It is therefore necessary that all
leaks and wastage are stopped at
once and the use of water confined
to things absolutely necessary. No
water may be used for washing auto
mobiles or other vehicles nor water
ing lawns or gardens.
Water is being pumped daily, at
large expense, alternately from both
the Hoskins' reservoir and the sup
ply in Cow Bell Hollow.
The College is expanding large
sums of money in extending the
system, but no increase of the
water supply will be available until
another season. Meanwhile let every
body cooperate in saving the water.
