FOREIGN COMMENT
 ON HARDING SPEECH
France Sees No Reason for
 Alarm or Joy

Paris, April 12.--Cable extracts of the address of President Harding be- fore tho United States congress yes- terday arrived here GOO late to per- init this mornings newspapers to comment. upon 1t.
 "Pertinax," political editor of the Echo de Paris, was the only editorial writer to have something to say re- garding the message.
 There is no longer any doubt as to the policy the new American presi- dent and his advisers intend to pur- sue." he remarked. Ut was not gen erally expected that MT. Harding would announce immediately his de- sire to see the theoretical state of war with Germany ended. France for the past two years has been consistently mistaken about. America"
 Little surprise with the text of the message was expressed by newspapers issued today at noon.
 "Prudence.' declared the Paris Midi, which is a customary quality of American presidents, reigns su- = preme in MT. Harding's message. There is no occasion for us either to light bonfires in celebration or be alarmed

Too Iata for Comment.

London, April 13.-President Hard ing's message to congress was received too late for editorial comment in this mornings newspapers. although sum- maries of the message appeared in their columns crowded otherwise with news of the critical industrial sitna- ton. Editorial writers of the after noon journals, however, devote con- siderable attention to it.
 The Westminster Gazette pays espe- ciaI attention to the declaration in the message Of Americas intention to have no part in the existing league of nations.
 Cannot Complain.
 We have no reproaches to offer for that abstention," it says, but Amer ica cannot have matters both ways. She cannot abstain and then complain that the victors have made of the league something other than America would have had it. The 'compacts Of amity,' the association to promote peace are excellent enough as evil dences of Americas good will. but they form no adequate substitute Tor the league as it might have been had America wifled it so."
 The Pall Mall Gazette says Presi- dent Harding's conception of the fu- ture seems to be expressed in his ref erence to nations associated for world helpfulness without world gov .ernment' and it adds:
 "We trust he will persevere in the effort to show how this conception can be realized without disturbing the useful work upon which the league of nations is already engaged"

We were under the impression that the Know Him. editor had slipped another silhouette, which was to go unrecognised. over last evening-but the morning mail brought in one cor rect answer. it being submitted by Florence Cooley, of 55 Grand street. The men folks were puzzled or else, it being ladies' night. did not submit sresses. The silhouette was that of A. s. Clark Of the Clarg x Brainerd Drug store. The impression evidently spread among The school boys that the profile was that of Principal L.. F. Slade of the High school as there were several guesses to that effect. Miss Cooley has a dollar waiting for her at the Herald office.
 We have but one or two silhouettes left consequently it behooves you to gues and guess early if you hope to win a dollar. Tonight we reproduce the profile on ahother we'll known Main street merchant. who has been in business at the same old stand for a good many years. He should be recognized. If you are on of those who do recognize him write out his name on a slip of paper, sign your name and address and send it in 10 the Herald office. First correct guess gets a dollar.

Liverpool, April 13. - Commenting on the message of President Harding to the United States congress, the Post of this city declares its belief that the program of the American presi- dent looks simpler than it really is."
 "A mere, declaratory resolution of peace,'' the newspaper continues, will scarcely suffice to adjust matters between the United States and Ger many.

n. Y. DEBT DISPUTE
NOT YET SETTLED
1920, 900, 1000 Item Lost in
Maze Of High Finance on
Municipal Ledger
co MPLEX BOOKKEEPING

New York. Aug. 10. Charles l..
Craig, Comptroller, and Elon X. Brown,
counsel for the Meyer Legislative Com
mittee, chased an item of $120, 900, 600
up and down New York's financial cd
ger at yesterdays hearing, until reason
high finance.
Mr.. Brown claimed the item was on
the wrong side Of the ledger and that
New York had exceeded its debt limit by
that amount last January. The Comp
troller said the item was in it's right
place that the city had not exceeded it's
legal debt limit and was still S13I 900,
600 to the good.
The item of S12O. .OOO. 900 had been
exempted as the result Of dock and rapid
transit improvements. Mr.. Brown
claimed, and could not be used for any
other purpose thanSlocks or rapid tran
sit. That sum should be deducted. he
said. in arriving at the debt margin of
the city at the present time. When the
hearing was adjourned until next Tues
day and subject was still in dispute.
Mayor Hylan will take the stand again
when the hearings arc resumed
In discussion preparatory to inquiry
as to whether the city had exceeded its
debt limit, Comptroller Craig con
tended that the law gave the Board OF
Aldermen the right tC make the tax levy
per cent Of the last assessment roll
submitted to it. The tax levy for this
year, he said. was based on an assess
ment roll submitted March I last. Mr.
Brown argued that the tax levy for 1921
should be per cent of the tax levy for
1920.
While Mr.. Brown was obdurate ir
clinging to his assertion that the cit,
had exceeded both its legal debt and ia,
limits, he admitted that on two count.
of his case against the city administra
tion his opinion had been modified.
After Comptroller Craig had read
summary of the four main counts con.
tained in Mr.. Browns charges, the lat
ter admitted that the question o
whether the city had exceeded the lega
debt limit in the sale of revenue bond
during 1917 was debatable. - and tha
he would not further press that claim
"Now." continued Mr.. Craig, from
the witness stand, Haven't you modi
fed your views about tax nOtcs?"
"Well. I am in doubt about it. ;
Senator Brown replied. II don't car
