EUROPEANS UNABLE TO PAY INTEREST

Washington, February S.-(SpeciaL Ut is reported that no European country owing money to the United States has paid a single dollar of interest. It is argued that some of them cannot pay, and that others, capable of paying, would be embarrassed to do so. It is understood that the United States is willing to post pcne collection of the interest, with the understanding that it is be added to the principal and thus. itself, bear interest.
 There are members of Congress, how ever. who are insstent that the United States not only force the immediate pay ment of interest due, but the liquidation
 of the entire debt that Europe owes this
 government. Movements are on foot to secure definite information in that the country may be informed of the exact status of affairs.
 The Senate, for instance, has passed the resolution of Senator Smith of Geor-
 gia calling on the Secretary of the Treas urya to furnish the Senate with an item ized statement of cash advanced to each European country. the interest paid by each. the interest due, the interest that will be due by the end of this year, the rate of interest agreed to be paid by each, and a description of each obliga- ton.
 It is understood that Senator Smith intends, to proceed against European countries which have not and can pay interests especially England

MYTH DISCUSSES
 ITALIAN POLICY
 BEFORE DEPUTIES
By Associated press

Rome. saturday, February 7.-Premier Nitti discussed the Italian foreign policy in the chamber of deputies today He began his speech by asking for sus- pension of the work of the chamber for a few days. as he had to be in London on Thursday at a meeting of the allied premiers.
 ''In. the critical hour of our history. " said the premier, it is indispensable to tell the entire truth. even if we have to do so with an aching heart. Foreign policy has an influence on home policy, and home policy on foreign policy; so the two must. harmonize-

 s'Those who most insisted that we enter the war render now the worst possible service by saying that we obtained noth- ing. We must remember that almost all Italians who desired war asked only for Trent and Triest. It is therefore a mis- take to say that nothing was obtained, when our terms are more than satisfied. ~ "Tn other questions. where Italy is most interested, namely. the Adriatic. Con- stantinopie and Asia Minor, Italy must be guided by, the broadest principles of nationality The spontaneous plebiscite at Plume, declaring a desire to join Italy, created a new political situation, which caused series of difficulties. There can be only two solutions-either the pact of London. which we claim as our right, or the solution we invoke in the name of justice, consisting of har- monizing the interests, tendencies and as- pirations of the Italian people with those of the Jugo-Slav people,

EFFECT OF PROHIBITION ON SHIPPING FOOD

Washington, February S.-(Special)--In answer to the more or less acrimonious criticism regarding the sale by the shipping board of a number of the more important German vessels seized at the outbreak of the war, John Barton Payne, chairman of the shipping board, has written letter to President Wilson.
 The letter has not been made public. But it is generally known that the chair man declared the sale was forced on the shipping board by the operation of na- tionaI prohibition.
 It is understood that Mir Payne told MT. Wilson that the government could not operate liners on which intoxicants are not sold in competition with privately owned ships and ships of other govern ments on which wines are served. He added that as soon as announcement was made that intoxicants would not be sold on vessels of the shipping board, prac- tically all reservations were cancelled

Nearly 500 Witnesses Will Take Stand Before Case
 Goes Into Jury's Hands
By Associated Press

Grand Rapids, Mich February S.-rhe Newberry elections conspiracy trial will go into it's third week in United States district court here tomorrow.
 Thus far the speed schedule set for the prosecution by Frank C. Daley assist ant attorney general, and his associates has not been even aproximated.
 The schedule called for an average of twenty witnesses a day. There have been four full court days devoted to wit nesses since last Tuesday afternoon and only few more than half hundred men and women have occupied the stand Perhaps s6o will be called for prosecution and defense before the issue goes to the jury.
 The influenza epidemic throughout the country has had something to do with this some witnesses having been sum moned to testify ahead of their logical places in the prosecution because of sick ness in their homes or places of busi- ness. As a consequence several detached aspects of the government case have been presented to tn jury and the orderly progress of the story has been interfered with.
 The government men could not say to- day what they have in prospect for the coming week They have let it be known only that they will seek to connect up every one of the 1S5 indicted men with some phase or the MN campaign, lne or ganization and prosecution of which are alleged to have been a gigantic con spiracy to violate federal laws and pur- chase the United States senatorship for Truman H. Newberry
