Tells Financial
 Side of Treaty

Paris, May 29.-Light is thrown on the financial side of the Versailles treaty with Germany by an interview with Georges Clemenceau, former French premier, secured by Alfred Capus, editor of the Gaulois, and pub lished in that newspaper today.
 Several persons know, said the former premier "that the peace con- ference discussion of fixed indem- nifty lasted for three weeks. We should not forget that fixed sum for indemnity was the Anglo-Ameri- can idea from the very beginning, and that our allies never abandoned this viewpoint. They even made a most careful valuation of the sum Germany could pay, which was exactly 75,000, 000,000 marks in all.
 "Out of our share we would have to ray for the reconstruction of devas- tated regions, and I need not tell you we could not agree to such solution Finally an agreement was effected and that solution was embodied in the treaty of Versailles"

ARKANSAS SCHOOLS RANK LOW IN TIE
 SAGE ESTIMATE
Only Two States are Further Down List, Report
 Shows

New York, May 29 The state of Montana has the best all-round public school system in the United States according to the results of compara- tive study of state school systems made public today by the Russell Sage Foundation. The report assigns second place to the schools of Califor- mia, third place to those of Arizona, fourth to New Jersey and fifth to the state of Washington.
 These findings are contained in a report by the department of education of the Foundation. The volume is entitled "An Index Number for State School Systems" and the author is Dr. Leonard P. Ayres, director of the Foundations department of education.
 Other findings of the report are that the school system of the United States as whole has doubled in eff ficency during the last 50 years, hav- ing an index number of rating of 26 in 1870 and one of 52 at the present time. Since these index numbers are figured on the basis of 100, the school sys- tenn of the country has now an effect iveness or efficiency of only 52 per cent, according to the report.
 The figures for the individual states as given by the Fouda tion show that during the past 30 years the West has been coming up educat ational- ly while the east has been going down. During this time the greatest increase among all the states has been made by Utah while the state to which is at tributed the greatest falling off in relative standing is Maryland. In the east the only state that has gained instead of losing is New Jer- sey. In the west the state that has the best and most consistently high record is California.
 Among the interesting results of the study is the conclusion that the school systems of the United States territo- rial possessions, such as Hawaii, the Canal Zone, and Porto Rico, have higher rating than those of many o1 the 48 states. That of Hawaii is re. ported better than those of the ma ljority of the American states. Ter southern states have records poort than that of Porto Rico.
 The Foundat tion's educational meas
 urement is worked out by taking ths official number of children attending school, the amount of training they
 secure, the progress they make, thu amounts expended for buildings ant supplies, the salaries paid their teach CTS, and similar items, and combining these factors into single inde. number which shows the general stan ding or efficiency of the school sys tenn This method resembles, tha used by the federal government in in : dexing the cost of living and price , for commodities.
 The Foundation states that all tn
 results are computed from data fur
 nished by the states themselves to tn :. federal government and that the rec
 ords have been compiled and combine' by exactly the same methods for al
 the different states and without ad
 hitting into the results any element of personal judgment The autho of the report served during the wa as chief statistical officer of tn : army.

New Champion of the Middleweights is
 an Italian Youth

New York, May 29.-When the news was flashed from the Boston ringside that Johnny Wilson had won the worlds middleweight championship from Mike O'Dowd, of St. Paul, few nights ago very few followers of pu- gilism could identify the new title holder. In few hours, however, it was learned that the new champion was born in New York 27 years ago but had made his home in Boston for some five or six years past
 Wilson, whose real name is Gio- vanni Panica. was born on East 106th street, New York City, next door to the birthplace of Willie Jackson, the promising contender for lightweight konors on March 23, 1893. During the time that boxing was legalized in New York under the Frawley law, Panica took part in several preliminary bouts at local clubs and assumed the ring name of Johnny Wilson. At Phila- delphia, about six years ago, Wilson lost to Young McGovern but three months later outpointed McGovern ct New York club. Wilson then wen to Boston where he signed contrac to box under the management of Ma ty Kellcher, partnership which st remains intact. Wilson boxed only in- frequently up to two years ago but since that time he has been fairly ac tive in New England boxing centers. Among the victories claimed for him are decisions over Young Ahearn, Frank Carbone, Angie Rather, Tommy Robson. George Robinson and some lesser lights in the middleweight di- vision.
 Wilson boxes with the right foot and right hand extended and is known in ring parlance as "southpaw" Al Mccoy, who won the title from George Chip, also was a southpaw. Mike O'Dowd won the championship from him by a knockout at Brooklyn club in 1917.
 Following is list of the middle weight champions since Jack Demp- sev claimed the title in 1884:
 Jack Dempsey, 1884-1SS9. George La Blanche. 1889-1891.
 Bob F. Fitzsimmons, 1981-1897 (re- tired).
 Tommy Ryan, 1S97-1907 (retired). Stanley Ketchel. 1907-1908.
 Billy Papke, 1908.
 Frank Klaus, 1911-1913
 George Chip. 1913-1914.
 Al. Mccoy, 1914-1917

In addition figures are given to show the relative standing of the school systems of the states and possessions of 1890, 1900, 1910. 1916 and 1918. These indicate that Cali fornia has always been at or near the top of the list, while the two Caro- llnas have in every case been at or near the bottom. Every New Eng land state is shown by the figures to be losing ground while every state in the Far West has gained in relative rank during the period. In the educational race Iowa las far outstripped Illinois, while North Dakota has gone rapidly forward. Ne braska is reported having gone for ward and Kansas backward during the period of 28 years.
 The most notable educational change that has taken place during the 50 years covered by the report, is in the attendance in high schools. There are now 100 times as many ipupils enrolled in high schools as there were in 1870. The number then was 19,000 and now it is near ly 100000. The high school attend ance has increased with great rap- idity but the new pupils have been mostly girls.

shall I do? We were engaged and he

in his place to?
LEAP YEAR GIRL.
You should be thankful that your
fiance proved his faithlessness before
you were married. Forget him and
realize that he was unworthy. Since
he was engaged to you he should not
have dropped you so uncermoniously.
In spite of the fact that it is leap
year, let the man overcome his bash
fulness and become acquainted with
you. He would admire you less if
you started a conversation with him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been

Missouri for about six months. picked
his name and address up as a soldier

writes letters to me which seem as if
he is a fine fellow. I answer them

Your method of becoming acquaint-
ed was unconventional. Since the
young mans letters have proved so
satisfactory, however, l can see no
harm in letting HON come to see you
II your parents understand everything
and do not object.
AS a rule girl should not ask a
man for his picture. This time it
seems advisable. After you know how
the man looks you can judge better
whether or not to let him come. In.

A CONSTANT READER.
At your age you should follow the
advice of your parents in such mat
ter 1t would be quite impossible fol
you to reform the girl. Reform
comes from within and unless she her
self wants to change you can do little
to help her.
