That Alderman Walter Bracher

the administration forces of the
city Of Davenport cannot be charr-
ed with criminal conspiracy for
installing . dictaphone in the Of
nee OF Mayor c. L. Barewald, is the
advice which has been given the

Alliance, Ohio, Jan. 2S.-Old Dob
bin has not lost his usefulness. For
four hours q weather-beaten old
horse hitched to buggy was left
standing on q downtown street.
Finally the police took charge OF
the outfit. Two officers suggested
that the horse be turned loose and
allowed to return home. This was
done and the officers followed.
Nine miles out into the country the
old horse turned into the farmyard
lane of Andy Beg farm. Beg dis
claimed ownership, but his two lit
tie daughters identified "Mollie"
and the rig. with loving caress
for the old mare.
A search of the barn revealed a
25-gallon still. Beg was arrested
and fined $500 and then turned over
to the Columbiana county officials
in which county the farmer lives.

London. July Sir Drummond

League of Nations. is immensely
pleased with tho reception It has met
In Austria. He says he can see only
one serious obstacle to the successful
application OF the scheme to ali the
countries now In financial difficulties
and that is n psychological one.
The trouble. he seid. when re-
Gently interviewed. is that tho coun-
tries are so unwilling to admit that
they need international financial rs
distance. They seem TO feel towards
It much as individuals do 'poor-lsw'
relief. II hurts their national prid.
TO admit that they arc impoverished
by the war. OF course he added. III
We can make the great succcsS of tho

that credit Is sometimes not worth
having. But that has been exactly
the case owing to the fluctuations OF
the Austrian exchange. To my per-
sonal knowledge therc are traders in
Austria at this moment who have
been offered cre6lt-this was before
tho proposals. of the International
Credit Scheme were put forwprd-and
simply dared not take the risk Of ac-
cepting because they did not know
