EUROPE MUST
 PAY DEBTS TO
 THIS COUNTRY

Wash fngton, April 2-On two bread questions of international policy, the attitude of the Harding administra- ton already has been made clear to M Rene Viviaui. Frances special en- voy to the United States. One of these is that United States vii stand solidly on the princ7 .1le that Germany was responsible or the horrors of the world warl-nd that she must pay for it to the full extent of her ability.
 The other is that the United States has finished playing the role of a fi- nancia1iy benevolent big brother to tffe whole world, and is now begin ming to take stock of her assets. Loom ing large among these assets are the debts aggregating some ten billion dollars which European governments owe the United States and which they have as yet given no indication of paying

Sick People Use
 Much Champagne

Washington, April 2-Sick folks apparently arc making increasing use of French champagne since prohibition went into effect. At least, it can be imported only for medicinal use and department of commerce figures show importa- tionS to the value of $3S4 ,391 in 1920, against 1,15S in 1919. Part of the difference, officials pointed out, probably was due to increased price of champagne.

CASE NEAR CLOSE
Only Few More Witnesses to
Call in White Sox Trial.
1t Was Players Who Proposed
Throwing Series, Says Burns.

Chicago, July 22.-The state today
began picking up threads in the
prosecution of its case against the
seven black sox." charged with
throwing the 1919 worlds baseball
classic.
John o. Seys. secretary of the
Chicago National League club, was to-
days witness. He confirmed the
testimony of William "Bnp' Burns,
former Major league pitcher, that a
New York gambling clique had bet on
Cincinnati to win the series. Seys
said he was stakeholder Of a number
of bets made by Abe Attel and Louis
Levi, of Des Moines, Ia.
Following Seys's testimony, attor-
neys for the state and defense FLASHED
again over the admission of the con-
fession of Edie Cicotte, Lefty" Will
liams and Joe jackson as evidence.
Court was recessed while the lawyers
entered the judges chamber.
the black sox" and the gamblers in
dicted for conspiracy to throw
the 1919 worlds series was believed
to be near a close today. With
the conclusion of the testimony of
'BilI' Burns, former big league
pitcher, and star witness for the state.
it was believed, that only few more
witnesses would be called to testify
for the prosecution.
Attorneys for the state were jubi-
liant today over their victory in having
the court uphold the testimony of
Burns and permit him to relate a con-
versation he claimed to have had in
New York prior to the 1919 series
with Cicotte, Chick GandiI and Abe
Attell.
Burns furnished the biggest sensa-
ton of the trial by declaring that the
ball players and not the gamblers had
proposed the selling out of the series.
He testified that Gandn had voluntar-
lily made the offer to sell the series for
$780, 900.
Efforts of the defense to have this
evidence stricken out and shake the
story told by Burns were futile

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, July 2-WHEAT-Reports that
RUSSIA needed vast quantities Of wheat had
a bullish influence on the wheat market to-
day. Doubts, however, that money could be
found, to pay for the required grain acted
as restraining factor. The chief demand
came from a house with eastern connec-
tions. Opening prices, which ranged from
&c off to Re advance with September slips
to $127 and December S1-29 to $3.50, were
followed by material gains all around.
Subsequently, hedging sales together with
profit taking on the part Of holders more
than counterbalaneed the effect of seaboard
buying. The market closed nervous, lie to
He net lower with September Sips to
81 .25N and December 12S to Sissy.
CORN-Corn hardened with wheat. After
opening unchanged to &c higher. including
September at 61Ssc to 61Tse,. the market
sagged little but then scored moderate
general advance
Scattering complaints Of dry weather re-
eeived some attention but the market weak
ened when wheat declined in the last part
of the day. The close was unsettled, Mc

of oats. Prices started unchanged to SO
axe higher, September 411ac to 415sc,

for all deliveries.
PROVISIONS Higher quotations on hogs
