This Thing We Will Not Do.

The extraordinary fiction that our
Liberty bonds will be exchanged or
cancelled for German bonds to the
amount OF our Government war loans
TO the Allies, thus relieving the Allies
from their debts owed to the United
States Treasury, crops up again, this
time in Germany, where, according
to the Associated Press, the sugges-
ton is popular and the matter under
negotiation.
But, whether these imaginings are
sent a-wing in Germany, France,
Great Britain or anywhere else, does
it never occur to those that dream
such dreams who it is that owns the
Liberty bonds on which was raised
the money that was lent to the Allies
to the tune of almost ten billions of
dollars?
When the American people put up
their cash and resources to win the
war they did not subscribe for, they
did not agree to take and they did
not get any security but the Liberty
bonds and Victory notes of the United
States Government. These securities
belong to the people who bought and
paid for them. The United States
Government can redeem them as they
mature, it can buy them in the open
market, 1t can offer TO exchange with
the holders Of them a different secur-
ity for their Liberty bonds and Victory
notes. But 1t Is only the individual
owners of these Liberty bonds and
Victory notes who can determine
whether they will or will not ex-
change them or in any other way
part with them before they are pay
able at maturity.
And there Is about as much chance
that the American holders of these
Liberty bonds and Victory notes Of
cur Government would exchange them
foT German securities, or French Sc
curities, or Belgian securities, or any
other securities of a foreign Power
as that they would swap their own
United States of America for Mad
agascar or Yap.

Matsada's Last Match.
His Opponent Caught Him by the
Ankle and Threw Him.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD George
Bothner's letter reminds me of what
was said to be Matsada Sorakichis last
match. ] saw him many times in wres-
tling contests against larger men, and he
was a wonder.
I believe 1t was Hugh Leonard who
opposed him on this occasion. 1t was
at vaudeville theatre in Rochester.
AS they felnted for a hold Leonard
stopped quickly and with one hand--the
left, beieve-caught Matsada by the
ankle and threw him over his head for
a terrific fall. Matsada was dumfounded
and made wild protest when the referee
declared he had lost.
This fall was said to have ended Mat
sadas career. He was then said TO be
failing in health and died a short time
afterward. Honorable" applied to him is
used in its true sense, as the Jap was
gameness and aggresslveness. Those
who never saw Matsada missed whole
lot. lie met men much larger than him
self and feel quite sure that saw
him against Muldoon. In those days we
had not heard of ju-jitsu.
l can't remember that the Jap was
ever accused OF fouling In the matches
I saw, but perhaps when he first came
over he may have been unfamiliar with
American rules. as / don't think he un-
derstood English. II Matsada fouled Ar

become a habit. and / don't think he

Why Fewer Boys Study Medicine
Scarcity of Physicians Attributed to High Admission
Requirements of Medical Colleges

To THE New YORK HERALD: Your re-
mark that Country doctoring is every
where a thankless. unprogressive life in
it's present conditions" can hardly
agree with. Having a large experience
with the lives of practitioners in the
country can assure you that at least
in those parts of the country where the
population is American to any large sx-
tent the doctor receives fully as much
appreciation as city people usually give
and at the same time friendships are
formed such as are never known in these
days In the city between physician and
patient.
The opportunity for the acquisition Of
competence is always good in the
country. The fees are not large, but
the expenses are correspondingly small
fifty will have more money, if careful
collector, than the city doctor can hope
for.
The cause Of the present trouble is the
smaller number of medical graduates
each year than formerly The pre-
medical standard necessary to enable a
student to matrlculate In medical col
lege has been made so severe that the
farmers son who used to go into his
medical college on his graduation from
high school can no longer study medi-
cine. He cannot afford the cost OF the
pre-medical college course and so he
enters some other sphere Of activity.
The man who has gone through a
university and then a medical college
and finally put in a year in hospital
Is not willing to leave the city and its
conveniences but the country boy from
his high school has made many of the
men of highest standing In medicine.
When the educational departments of
the various States have seen the light
and made it possible for students to
enter medicine a little moro easily, then
there will be doctors to care for the peo-
pie in the country, and not until then.
The people Of the country districts do
not want paternalism forced upon them
by any form Of State medicine, but do
want to have doctors for their ills near
enough to be called when occasion re-

Mexico's Buried City.
Faces Of Many Races Portrayed
Among Teotihuacan's Relics.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: was
much interested in the article printed
on Sunday concerning the pyramids and
the lost city at San Juan de Teotihua-
can, Mexico.
The most interesting circumstances to
me, and one that you do not mention,
is the discovery in stone chests in the
buried houses of miniature earthern
masks. Tho theory Is that these masks
are portraits of the dead buried the
same way as objects found In Egyptian
tombs.
If this is true it indicates that the
inhabitants were a wonderful medley.
for there are types which do not belong
to America; a negro with thick lips.
fiat nose and woolly hair; a Chinese
head; Caucasian and Japanese speci-
mems and many with Greek profiles
The question is. Where did they come
from and how did they get there? No
one can explain 1t, but 1t goes to show
that this continent had civilization at
least centuries before Columbus discov-
cred America.
The entrance to all the houses was
from the roof and the houses themselves
were very finely built, as were the pyra-
mids the cement not being harmed by

Strange Animal Friendships.

Strange friendships are formed be-
tween different members Of the ami
NAL kingdom. Frequently these are
between animals and birds, as was
the case of the blind OK and the
gander in Alabama.
The dedth of the OK, as recorded in
this newspaper, because of his removal
to new pasturewhere he did not have
the solicitous care of the bird which
had been accustomed to lead the way
To the watering trough and to and
from the pasture will seem natural
enough to those who have had much
to do with animals and have noted
their tendency to fraternlze with
other species.
1t Is an old custom with breeders
Of thoroughbred horses TO have a
companion for nervous stations and
mares, while nearly every racing
stable has a goat, dog, cat, cock or
hen to alay the tension of tempera-
mental filly or highstrung horse.
The habit probably came to us from
England, where the thoroughbred had
his origin. 1t is shown in the old
pictures Of racehorses and racing
stables. A goat Is considered the best
remedy for stall walking, nervous
aaliction which interferes with train
Ing operations, and most Of the big
stables have one as part of their
equipment.

A Clipper Indeed.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: ". r.

made fast passages from San Francisco
to New York. They were no doubt Won

Farmers, Diversity Your Crops.

For all who wish to understand
economics there is q lesson in the
plight Of the Kentucky tobacco Iarm-
ers, many Of whom find themselves
facing ruin as the result OF depending
on one crop-tobacco
Lured by high prices at which the
1919 tobacco was sold, additional acre
ege was leased or bought on credit by
many and planted to this staple. The
present situation might be less de-
pressing IL planters had been content
to grow tobacco only on acreage for
merly devoted to other crops, but in
some instances blue grass pastures
which had always been In sod were
ploughed and seeded to tobacco. A
falling market brought an appea. last
autumn 70 the growers of Kentucky
and portions of Tennessee to hold the
crop in the hope Of forcing higher re-
turns. The man with debts to pay
and nothing except his tobacco avail
able had only one course open to him.
That was TO sell the tobacco regard
less of the threats that reprisals would
follow such action.
With his barns empty and an ac-
count OF stock taken, however, the
grower who had paid extravagant.
speculative prices for land found him
self confronted with an Impossible
condition. When tobacco was bringing
from 80 TO 40 cents a pound The temp.
tatlon to pay from $500 TO $1,000 an
acre for land upon which TO grow
more Of 1t was strong The latter
figure was refused by DAVID LOOK Of
Greenwich, Connecticut, for his 1000
acre Castleton estate near Lexington,
which is one OF the few great horse
breeding properties now held intact
IN that region.
Growers OF tobacco have learned,
too late for some Of them, that every
staple Is subject TO wide ductuatlon
in price, and that an acre Of land
has It's limits Of productivity. Des-
patches from Lexington, In tho heart
OF the white hurley tobacco district,
