married as follows:
1. Fifty million dollars in municipal
are held by scattered financial groups.
with 100000 of them in the safes of
individual investors.
2. The joint issues of Bordeaux,
Lyons and Marseilles, totaling 5,0OO,-
900 similarly held.
3. One hundred million dollars in
the new replacement issues arranged
with j. P. Morgan & Co., when France
wiped out $150,0O0,OO0 of her share
in the Anglo-French loan.
4. Four hundred million dollars due
to the United States for army stocks.
S. Two and a half million dollars
as the maximum of Frances actual
indebtedness to the United States
Treasury, for which no demand has
yet been received either for reimburse
ment or payment for interest
6. French national bonds, which
can be considered as currency and
subject to fiuctuating exchange values.
During last year, the French Minis
try of Finance admits, attention was
concentrated on meeting the Anglo
French loan, which was exceedingly
difficult on account of budget balanc-
ing difficulties, but considering the
fact that $15O,OO0,OOO was covered, al
though part of the original loan was
sent to Russia without any prospect
of immediate reimbursement, it was
indicative that France was willing to
do all possible to stabaliZe world finan-
cial conditions. Moreover, 100000
worth of French Government securi-
ties held by small bankers in the
United States were met and the ac-
crued interest was fully paid during
1920.
To Begin Refunding
Meanwhile, the Chamber of Deputies
has just approved a measure by the
government authorizing the mainte-
nance of the advances by the Bank
of France to the government at 81
000,000,000 francs, as they stand at
present. An agreement formerly en-
tered into provides that these advan-
ces should be reduced to 24,000,000, 900
francs.
Frederic Francois-M arsal, Minister
of Finance, said the governments
promise to reduce these advances was
predicated on the financial clauses of
the Treaty of Versailles. He promised
that the refunding of 2,000,000,000
francs year would be done regularly,
beginning the next fiscal year, as, he
said, the amount of the German repa-
ration would be settled by that time.
However, much is contingent on the
ability of the French taxpayers to con-
tinue to pay the present tax rates,
which, owing to French losses of popu-
lation as a result of the war, represent
at least 20 per cent, more per capita
than that of any other belligerant ma
ton. While the French war losses
in man power are figured at 100000,
the real loss of population resulting in
deaths, invading or loss of reproduc-
tive factor reaches a minimum of 81
100000, whereas Italy's actual loss is
only 100000, with the total effective
apd notantia1 lOSSpS nlaca at 200 600
Belgium's military losses are estima-
ted at $4,000 men, with an alternative
375, 900 estimated deficit in population.

Chronicle.
Detroit, Mich, June 30.-Slightly
built, proudly erect, brown-haired,
tanned, smiling, ever smiling-not the
smile Of irony or bitterness-no yet
the pitiful smile Of self-compassion,
nor the hopeless one Of impotence OF
futility-but a smile, gently humor.
Gus, kindly, sympathetic, warm, born
Of an unconquerable spirit that scars
above the plane Of human agonies and
limitations, into the infinite.
That is Michael Aaronsohn, cheer,
full, smiling mike, rabbinical student
at the Hebrew Union College, Nation
al Chaplain Of the Disabled Veterans
Of the World War Association, in At.
tendance at the first annual conven-
ton Of that organization in Detroit.
Only the gentle tap Of his stick
against the hard marble floor Of the
Hotel fuller Lobby, headquarters Of
the convention, told the story Of his
blindness. That, and the restless move
ment Of sensitive lids over artificial
eyes. A livid, angry cash at the left
temple tells another mute tale of fly
ing shrapnel-of ligaments torn away
of the skill Of surgeons in the base
hospitals of France-of the recon-
struction of face mutilated and scar
red beyond recognition.
A pulse beat in the cheek, visible to
the eye, tells Of wound time has not
healed. And he smiles!
Nothing Timid About Him.
There is nothing hating or timid OF
fearful in the step of Michael Aaron
sohn. There is nothing Of the martyr
about him. He walks firmly, his head
flung high, Eat attention to an maud
IDLE command that is sanctifying his
life and the lives Of those who are
privileged to come into contact with
him.
He came toward his interrogation,
his arm linked in the arm Of his sister,
brown-eyed pretty Dora Aaronsohn,
his constant companion and guide, his
"buddy" who sees for him and guides
him gently about. Dora is attending
the convention with her brother, on
leave Of absence from the Hebrew
Union College where she took posi-.
ton as secretary so as to be near him.
Much younger than her % years,
she hovers over her brother like
gentle mother, never obtrusive, never
aggressive. She seems to sense with
q divine intuition his every unspoken
tlaught. With gentle tact she leads

Aaronsohn was student at the
University Of Cincinnati and the He

months intensive training he was sent
to France. As sergeant major Of the

cinnati.
After his discharge from the base
hospital, Aaronsohn was sent to the
American training school for the blind
situated in a small village near the
shipping port of st. Azores Here he
was taught anew to read and write.
His instruction was furthered at Ever
green, the school for the blind in this
country. Later he resumed his studies
at the Hebrew Union College and will
receive his rabbinical degree in two
years.
Say. They Have Courage.
In his address Victory Over Blind
ness" delivered before the national
convention on Tuesday, Aaronsohn
paid tribute to Evergreen and its
founder, Mrs. Robert Garrett, Of Bal
timore.
I'VE have learned how to walk. We
have learned how to read, how to
write. We have learned how TO "eat,"
he said. 1--WE have learned how to
speak. We have learned to face the
world and to prepare ourselves for our
re-entry into that society which We
willingly vacated in order to assume
our places in the ranks Of those who
went to serve the country and the ma

The organization represents 10000
disabled war veterans in the United
States. There are more than 100000
wounded entitled to wear the Silver
Star and over 10000 Of that number
are yet incapactated to support them
selves as the result Of service, accord
ing to figures given out at convention
headquarters.
More than 1900 disabled men are
now being trained in 500" shops and
factories and 5000 in colleges and
schools under the auspices Of the Fed

knew, just as we'll as could be-
without being able to prove it-that
we were shadowed on the trip up from
the railroad building to the hotel, and
it made me nervous. There could be
only one reason now for any such
dogging of the boss. The grafters
were not trying to find out what he
was doing; they didn't need to, be-
cause he was advertising his doings-
or Juneman was-in the newspapers.
What they were trying to dc. was to
catch him off his guard and do him
up-this time to stay done up.
1t was safe to assume that they
wouldn't tumble the ball a second
time. Mr.. Ripley had stood the thing
fairly on its feet when he said that
our campaign was purely one-man
proposition, SO far as it had yet gone.
People who had met the boss and had
done business with him liked him;
but the old-time prejudice against
the railroad was so widespread and
SO bitter that 1t couldn't be overcome
all at once. Juneman, z>our publicity
man, was doing his best, but as yet
we had no party following in the
state at large which would stand by
US and see that we got Justice.
I was chewing this over while we
sat at dinner in the Bullard cafe, and
/ guess Mr.. Norcross was. too, for he
didn't say much. I don't know whether
he knew anything about the shadow
ing business I speak Of or not, but he
might have. We hadn't more than
given our dinner order when one of
Hatch's clerks, cock-eyed chap named
Kestler, came in and took a table just
far eno6gh from ours to be out Of the
way, and near enough to listen in If
we said anything.
When we finished, Kestler was just
getting his service Of ice-cream; but
noticed that he left 1t untouched
and got up and followed us to the
lobby. It made me hot enough to
want to turn on him and knock his
crooked eye out, but Of course, that
wouldn't have done any good.
After Mr.. Norcross had bought some
cigars at the stand he said he guessed
he'd run out to Major Hendricks for
little while; and with that he went
up to Ills, rooms. Though the major
was the one he named, knew he meant
that he was going to see Mrs. Sheila.
remembered what he had said to
Ripley about wOn,an's giving him
germ ideas and such things, and I
guess 1t was really so. Every time
he spent an evening at the majors
he'd come back with a lot Of new no.
tions fer popularizing the Short Line.
When he said that, about going out
to the majors, Kestler was near
enough to overhear it, and so he waited,
lounging In the lobby and pretending
to read paper. About half-past seven
the boss came Down and asked me to
call a taxi for him. I did It; and
Kestler loafed around just long enough
to see him start OF. Then he lit out,
himself, and something In the way he
did 1t made me take out after him.
