DEBT REPEATING
PROMISE DENIED
CLAIM THAT WILSON MADE SUCH
SUGGESTION BRANDED AS
LACKING TRUTH.
Position at Peace Conference Declared
to Have Been That Obligations
by Allies to America
Must be Paid.

Washington.-Not only is it untrue
that President Wilson at the Paris
peace conference promised the repre-
sentatives of the allied powers that
when the senate had ratified the peace
treaty he would make every effort to
have the United States government
| cancel the debts owed to it by the
presidents position was quite to the
contrary. In responsible and thor
oughly informal official quarter this
positive assertion was made Sunday
night in answer to published state
ments that the senate committee on
foreign relations knew that the presi-
dent had given such assurances at
Paris
The information that the senate
committee had knowledge of promise
of that character by President Wilson
became matter of report in the capt.
tai Saturday after Davis F. Houston,
the secretary of the treasury, had APP
peared before the committee on
foreign relations at his own request
and Informed 1t In confidence that ].
cellor Of the exchequer, had made a
correct statement in his speech at
Birmingham, England, to the effect
that Great Britain had made overtures
to the United States for the cancella-
ton of the allied war debt to this gov
eminent. Little Of the details of Mr..
Houstons disclosures to the commit
tee have become known, but it was
confirmed that he told the committee
that the proposal mentioned by Mr..
Chamberlain and concerning which
there has been so much official mys-
terry in Washington, had actually been
submitted by Great Britain.
Additional details obtained concern
ing the British advances along this
line brought to light that the proposal
partment from Mr.. Chamberlain as
head of the British financial ministry
and not through the medium of the
state department or any diplomatic
source The suggestion was advanced
about ten months ago, but not in the
bald form in which it has been under
stood to have been made. Great
Britain, it was learned, had not asked
that the United States cancel the
British war Indebtedness to this gov
eminent, but had explained to the
treasury department that, in the opn
ion of the British government, it would
be wise Procedure for all allied gov
ernments to cancel their foreign war
debts The proposal or suggestion of
Mr.. Chamberlain was that all "inter-
governmental" debts be cancelled. AS
surances were given that if this met
with the approval of the United States
the British government would cancel
all the debts owed to it by its allies.

READY FOR THAT PROSPERITY
Mrs. - Was in Something of a
Hurry to See Husband Make
Good His Promises.

Now, Mr.. M is a strong Repub-
lican, and Mrs. M just as strong
a Democrat. Before the election each
tried to influence the other. Mr.. M
talked of Republican prosperity and
Mrs. M of Democratic peace.
Eagerly on election day they both
watched the election reports. And as
one after the other came In Mrs.
M was visibly disappointed. But
she said nothing, and went quietly to
bed.
The next morning she was up early,
cheerful, smiling and dressed in her

surprised. 'Why mother. all dolled

meanT
"Oh, nothing" was her calm reply,

Two negro men were discussing the
