NO REQUEST FROM FRENCH
Secretary of Treasury Volunteers In
formation to a Senate Committee
Confirms Statement by j.
Austen Chamberlain.

Washington, Feb 14.-Great Britain
has made several advances to the
United States government with view
to cancellation of that countTys debt
TO this country. This information was
disclosed to the senate committee on
foreign relations by David f. Houston,
secretary of the treasury. The ad-.
vances were made during the YER
sailles peace conference and have
been repeated since. In every instance
proposed negotiations have been dis
approved by the Treasury department.
The information given the commit
tee by Secretary Houston confirms the
statements recently made by j. Aus
ten Chamberlain, the British chancel-.
lOr OF the exchequer. Mr.. Chamber
lain said that the British government
had proposed a cancellation of allied
Indebtedness and added that the prop.
OsitiOn had not received the favorable
support of the United States, where
upon the proposition was dropped.
Secretary Houston appeared before
the committee at his own request.
France Did Not Ask Action.
France has not proposed the cancel
latiOn Of her debt, althoughtheF rencls
government sounded this government
On the matter. Owing to the attitude
of this government France did not
make any formal requests. The sound
ing was done during the time that
Senator Carter. Glass of Virginia was
secretary of the treasury.
Secretary Houston explained his po-
sitiOn with respect to foreign loans
and the negotiations for the replace
ment of short time securities with
long time obligations. Secretary HOus-
ton repeated the assurances he re-
Gently conveyed by letter to Chairman
Lodge OF the committee that 10 more
credits would be established during
the short period that remains before
Secretary Houston quits office.
Wilson Offered Help?
Members of the foreign relations
committee let it be known that they
have had in their possession for some
time information to the effect that

conference promised to use his infiu-
ence, after ratification of the. treaty,
to induce congress to agree to the can
collation. of the allied Indebtedness to
the United States amounting to about
$1O,OOOOOO,OOO.
According to the information. the
British representatives first proposed
the cancellation of the debt. Presi-
dent Wilson declined to agree to this
on the ground that he lacked author
fty, but, according to the information,
promised to bring the matter before
the American people and congress i'm
mediatelS after the ratification of the
Versailles treaty.
The information, if correct, throws
interesting light on the desire of the
British to get America to ratify the
treaty and their willingness to accent
any reservations, according to one
member of the committee.
After the rejection of the treaty.
the British proposals were renewed.
but the administration held that it
was not bound to take"any action.

Quartz Utensils Instead of Platinum.

Platinum has been the only metal
which has been heretofore available
for use to withstand intense heat, but
quartz is now successfully made use
of in this capacity. To make these
utensils the raw material is melted

STILL DRILLING
Prospects For Oily Fluid
Are Good According To
Driller Hackthorne.

According to Bill Hack
thorne, the driller in charge of
the Tycap No. 1 Well on the
Mason tract two miles north of
town there is no room for
pessimism so far as the we'll is
concerned. Drilling for the
past week has progressed stead
lily and without any Interrupt
tion. A standard rig is being
used and with only one shift
working the work is necessari-
ly slow. Driller Hackthorne is
taking no chances of losing this
well thru carelessness of the
crew as the first hole was lost.
The casing has been kept down
with the drilling and there is
now very little danger of the
accidents that mean serious
trouble to drillers.
The Tycap Company has new
er courted publicity, having
started the we'll with the idea
of making a fair test and ac-
cepting the result whatever that
may be. Consequently, the pos
sibilities Of the we'll have never
been set forth in exaggerating
terms for the sake of creating
an "oil boom. The officials of
the company are to be conf
mended for their policy in this
matter.
