 REFUNDING ALLIED DEBTS

Washington. Aug. 4.-An amendment to the administration bill for refunding allied debts offered today by Senator Simmons, democrat, North Carolina, would authorize the president instead of the treasury secretary to conduct nego- tiations. It would also add a proviso ex- pressly prohibiting cancellation or remis- sion of any principal or interest or any change in the rate of interest mad pro hibit substitution for the obligations of any debtor government of the bonds of any other government.
 The amendment would forbid post ponement of the payment of any interest accruing on such obligations after July 1, 1922, except with the newly created governments, and then only with the un- conditional endorsement or guarantee ef each government.
 When the senate finance committee or dered the administration bill favorabfy reported, Senator Simmons was asked by republican leaders to prepare such an amendment with view of compromising the objections to the, original bill.

 Today I stood on Mount Prospect and saw a wonderful picture. Tn some of the valleys there were clouds and signs Of storm bedimming our vision. but above the peaks rose serene and untroubled And, while l gazed. my mind turned to the affairs of men and l said, with some comfort 10 myself, that though the clouds may bedim we need not lose confidence for l believe with all my heart that no matter what bedims the picture we of America have a God-given destiny to per form which nothing on earth ever will prevent
 Tn a century and a third we of the United States have outstripped every rec ord of civilization in the history of this world. This republic, which had is be- ginnings in little group of colonies. now is conceded the leadership of the world.
 The story of the world is one stage after another of developing warfare until gre of this generation have witnessed the most gigantic conflict of al, time. The cost of the conflict was so great that we Ger coming to have a consciousness and determinstlon that the whole development has been wrong and that acquisition by night is unjust.
 We of this country and all the world are resolved today that warfare ought to come to an end.
 I'm happy to bring you word that vour government is doing all it can to have a conference at which the repre- scntstives of the nations can look each other in the eye and wc-k together for a way to remove the causes of war and put an end to costly armament. l believe we shall succeed.

 The excess profits tax and the higher income surtaxes should be repealed and nothing substituted for them" said he The so-called nuisance taxes and t5e transportation tax. in whole or so oa-T. should be repealed and some simple. eas- fly understood tax, as for instance the proposed five per cent. flat increase ga corporation taxes, enacted to provi3e funds lost by the repeal of these last mentioned taxes.
 Possibly some other one form cf ad- ditional- tax may be necessary. but I doubt it In any event, we should not. in my opinion. adopt the stamp, ths. hank check or other taxes of that character that have been suggested. and I doubt either the necessity or the adviszbsiity of the automobile tax

SIX DAY BIKE RACE FAD
SPREADS THRU new YORK

New York, March 23.-They used
to say uncomplimentary things about
New York because the big town fell
for a six-day bike race. y ..$ a,5
Things have changed though. New
Workers don't fall for one siX-day
race now--they fall for four Of EN-.
Three Of the long grinds have al
ready been staged this winter and a
fourth is in the making. G&4: n
As lis a puzzle to the population
of those slow districts outside of
the worlds greatest city," SO it is
to a great many foreigners who Won
der what there is in the American to
make such a sport popular. ~ Iy!E@a
r Victor Breyer, prominent French
sport authority, writing in Sporting
Life London) recently commented
on this regularity and also gave
some interesting "inside stuff" about
a six-day race in Brussels, which ap-
parently was not a six-day affair. :.
ever since the Americans origin
ated the six-day craze" he writes,
with their famous Madison Square
cycle race, the success of these events,
not only across the "herring pond"
but in most European countries has
been a source Of wonder to the av-
erage sporting mind. AS one who
has witnessed many of these social
ed competitions, l am utterly unable
to understand why crowds flock to
attend them whether in New York,
Paris, Brussels or Berlin.
"Be that as it may, six-day races
had so far been free Of that sort of
complaints which marked the event
lust concluded a week ago in Brus-
sells, and which are nothing short OF
scandalous. -.. ~
EVERY morning at about seven the
hall was cleared of spectators in Or
der to have building cleaned. Only
a few privileged persons were allow
ed to remain, outside of the Compel
itors.. s.-..
1T turns out that when the crowd
had gone, the, riders followed suit.
The race was stopped each morning
for a period varying between one
hour and two hours, during which
the contestants did as they pleased.
Some left the building to go into
town and make visits.
I'm the meantime Paris is in turn
threatened with siX-day affair
which is advertised to take place at
the winter cycle track the last week
of March. 1t remains to be seen
whether the disclosures reported in
connections with the Brussels event
will affect the tremendous gate
which all precedentsN lead the Paris
ian promoters to expect
