Gent workers moved it. In the ruin:

Following is the unique scheme pro-
posed by the allies relative to letting
the United States pay for the war.

600; France, 1896, 100000; Italy, ST.
100000; Belgium, $4,000, 900;
Russia $1SS,Ooo,000; Serbia, s27, ooO,.
600; and to others. $136,00O,O 900. Eng
land loaned her allies So, 5s5, 000, 900, and
France loaned $1,550,000, 900. 1t is not
proposed that these countries cancel
their interest Financial experts fig
ure that should the United States
consent to the proposition, the United
States will lose 1926, 1000, 600, and Eng
land stands to gain $12GOOO,OOO and
France $120,000,000.

June made the high water mark in
weddings in New York City, when
b,002 licenses were issued. The mar
rage license clerk comments on the
TACT that although Brooklyn has many
more citizens than Manhattah, twice
as many marriages occurred in the
smaller borough. But he reflects:
People have to wait 72 hours % be
in New Jersey and four or
live days to be married in Connecti-
cut after they get their licenses. Here
as soon as they get their licenses they
can hurry upstairs to the marriage
chapel and have it all over.
