BURROUGHS DEAD
Noted Nature Writer Dies On
Way to Celebrate "a Birthday.
Famed for His Highly Developed
Power of Observation Of Animals
and Flowers.

Utica, N. Y.-John Burroughs,
famous naturalist, died on a New York
Central train near K~ingsville, Ohio, on
his way home from California. He had
been very III for six weeks with an
abscess on the chest and heart and
with kidney complications.
He was so eager to get home that
the long journey was undertaken with
the hope that he could survive. The
end came suddenly, a few minutes
after he had asked:
"How near home are WEI"
His physician, DR.. Clara Barrus, his
granddaughter Urusula Burroughs and
the Misses Eleanor and Harriet Bur-
roughs accompanied him on the jour
ney.
Burroughs, II was said, had hoped to
reach home before April 3 to celebrate
his Saith birthday with old friends. His
SD was celebrated with a great gath
ering which included his particular
friends, Henry Ford, II. s. Firestone
and Thomas A. Edison.
The event was to have taken place
at his home in Floral Park, near Pough-
keepsie.
Burroughs was the venerable dean
Of nature writer's In the United States.
Through a score Of books he shared
with countless readers his lifelong inti-
macy with birds. bees, flowers and the
whole out of doors. His highly devel-
oped power of observation and the
charm of his interpretations were the
marvel Of his critics.
His flowing white beard, his kindly
mein, his whole habit of life, and his
literary style were rather reminiscent
Of that famous New England school
of essayists a generation or two before
him.

V|V|AN| IS GUEST
at WHITE HOUSE
Former Premier Seeks U. S. Aid
in Preparations Collections
From Germany.
SENATE HEARS OF PLAN
Foreign Relations Committee Learns
That Ratification Of A~nslo-Freneh-
American Pact viii Be Sue-
qcsted as Initial Step.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Premier Vlvi-
ami of France, sent here as envoy ex-
traordinary, lifted the veil OF secrecy
from his mission in long conference
with President Harding and Secretary
of State Hughes. 1t developed that
France was more interested in Amer
lean aid in Preparations collections from
Germany than in our league member
ship.
No official statement divulging the
tack taken by the French envoy was
issued at the White House, the State
department or the Shoreham hotel,
where the envoy mission is CHARTERED.
Still, the story of reparation for the
mission, gained strength and was con-
secretary, DR.. Marcel Knecht, who
said:
IL can tell you that France at this
time is much more interested in the
PREPARATIONS settlement than in prob
lens directly related to the League Of
Nations. We recognize the power
America might exercise in that settle
ment."
Senate Members Hear Plan.
Members of the Senate foreign re-
lations committee, whose chairman,
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, con
ferrei with the President ahead of the
Viviani arrival, learned of the ENJOYS
hope Of getting this country's aid in
dealing with Germany. Ratification CT
the Observation-Disclosures pact will
be suggested as an initial step, they
heard.
In that pact, which constitutes an
alliance dedicated to French maintain
ance Of the new German borders,
France sees the opportunity of bring
ing Germany to terms, it has been rep
resented to the senator's. At the same
time, it has been indicated that the
envoy, ready and willing to recognize
existing loans, might express the
French need Of further financial as
sistance.
M. Viviani's secretary, DE-. Knecht,
in an effort further to emphasize their
denial that the present mission had
anything to do with debt cancellation,
made this statement:
IN. Viviani has absolutely no inten-
tion of seeking to bring about annul-
ment Of Americas loans to France.
His mission to the United States is
one OF international courtesy, and the
only debt he will discuss with anyone
is the debt of gratitude that France
owes to the American government and
the American people for their COOP

U. S. TO PROBE SHIP CRASH
Deaths Stand at Ten in Pacific Coast
Disaster.

Seattle, Wash.-Federal steamboat
inspectors have begun preliminary in
vestigation into the collision off Point
Wilson, in the Strait of Juan de Fuca
between the admiral Line passenger
steamer Governor and the freighter
West Hartland, which resulted in the
sinking of Governor with the probable
loss of ten lives.
The inquiry, which was called to de-
termine whether officers of either ship
should be charged with responsibility
for the accident, was held behind
closed doors.
Ten persons-seven passengers and
three members of the Governors crew
were counted missing. Officers of
the Admiral Line said 1t was possible
this number might be reduced.
The survivors were brought to Seat
tie IN the West Hartland which, al
though damaged. was able to proceed
under its own steam.

Harding and Cabinet Discuss the
Question of Foreign Indebted
ness at Meeting.
VALUED ASSET
Proposals to Cancel Huge War Obliga
tlons Mi Be Rejected-May con-
vert Loans Into Long
Term Issues.

Washington-The United States gov
eminent will insist that the powers as
sociated with it in the war with Ger
many repay, principal and interest,
their Indebtedness of more than $1O,-
600, 000, 900 to This country.
President Harding and his cabinet
discussed the whole question of for
eign Indebtedness at their meeting and
the President disclosed, after the con.
ference, that the policy of his admins
tration is to regard the foreign loans
as a valued asset" which ultimately
must be repaid by the debtor nations.
This is the first pronouncement of
the Harding administration on the
question of the Allied indebtedness.
1t refutes permanently all reports 20
the effect that the new administration
might agree to cancellation.
Loans In Detail.
The loans of the United States to
foreign governments, exclusive of in
terest, which has not been paid, total
$9,450,0 00, 600, divided as follows:
United Kingdom, $4,210, 900, 900;
France, $2,75O, 900, 900; Italy, $1,625.-
0O0, 900; Russia, $4,000 900; Belgium,
$500, 000, 900; Serbia and Jugo-Slavia,
500, 00O, 900; other Allies, SIZE, 0O0,-
900.
Accrued interest on these loans al
ready amounts to over $1,000, 000, geo,
which brings the total of Allied in
d~ebtedness 70 date up TO $40, 500, 000,-
600. No payments of interest have
been received by the United States
from any debtor government except
where they had borrowed more from
this government for that purpose.
The Treasury department, during
the Wilson administration and with the
approval Of Congress, agreed to the
deferment of interest on these debts
for three years, ending in 1923. In
other words, payments of interest on
the debts in all probability will not be-
gin for over two years, by which time
another $1,000, 900, 900 in interest pay
ments will have accrued.
AS yet the Harding administration
has gone no further than taking the
firm and final stand that the Allied
debt must be paid. Just how it is to
be done will be a matter for consider
able negotiations with the govern
ments involved.
