 BOARD PROVIDED
 BY BILL PASSED
House Measure Gives Com- mission Full Authority to Refund Debts ot
 Foreign Nations
By Associated Press


 Washington, October 24.--After rejecting a proposal that Congress should have the right of review, the House late today passed the bill for creation of commission. headed by the Secretary of the Treasury, with full lauthority to refund war debts of foreign nations due the United States and amounting to ten bil- lio ndollars.
 The vote was 1s9 to IT. The meas ure now goes to the Senate for early consideration.
 Except for one minor amendment as to phraseology, the bill stood up like a stone wall, though several re- publicans and democrats were att tempting to pull it down with amend ments.
 Amendments Defeated
 First to be defeated was proposal by Representative Frear of Wiscon- sin, republican member of the ways and means committee, providing that foreign nations indebted to the United States be required to pay rate of in terest averaging per cent. Later the amendment by Representative
 
 Der of the committee leading the fight for changes, to require congressional review or approval of claims settle ments was defeated. IF to 7t ,on a rising vote and 1s5 to 9s when a man to man canvas was made. It was this same proposal embraced in motion to recommit that was put to the House for recorded vote later and defeated. 1S5 to l3i.
 Amendments flew in from all sides, all being rejected.

 Left to Commission
 Chairman Fordney and Representa- tive Mondell of Wyoming. the repub- lican leader. opposed the Frear amendment. the latter declaring all questions of interest amounts should be left to the discretion of the com mission and the President.
 Urging approval by Congress of acts of the commission. Representa- tive Garrett of Tennessee. acting dem ocratic leader. sounded note of warning.
 Tn these debts now due the United States" he said there probably lies the germ of more difficulties. dissen- sions. differences and Irritation for the future than anything else in the country. There Is no debt between individuals. there is no world court to which we can go to enforce our rights. as individuals can g1. There Is but one way that this indebtedness ultimately can be collected. unless the nation voluntarily pays it. and that is by war"
 Proposing review by Congress and the fixing of interest rates, Repre- sentative Burton. republican, Iowa. urged against the driving of hard bar gains or any steps likely to throw suspicion or mistrust on friendly na- tions soon to participate in the con- ference for the limitation of arma- ment by demanding d rate unpre- cedentiy high"

Mrs. Andrews Obtained
Divorce, Not Husband

In It's account published March Q Of
the announcement Of the marriage Of
Colonel Barrett Andrews and Mrs. War
rem McConihe The Tribune, in part Of
its edition by typographical error did
an injustice to Mrs Hannah D. An
drews, former wife of Colonel An
drews, by the incorrect statement that
Colonel Andrews had divorced her,
when. in fact, the divorce was obtained
by Mrs. Andrews in an action brought
by her against Colonel Andrews.
The article, as prepared for publica-
tion, correctly stated that Colonel An
drews was divorced by his former wife
last November" BY an error in compo-
sition the statement was made to read
incorrectly in some Of the third edi-
tion copies that Colonel Andrews di-
vorced his former wife last November"
The error was discovered while the
third edition was on the press and was
Immediately corrected, so that the ar
ticle, as published in the rest of the
third edition copies and in all subse-
quent editions, was correct. The ar
ticle did not appear at all in the first
and second editions.
In the divorce proceeding, which was
brought by Mrs. Andrews in Westches-
ter County, no countercharge Of any
kind was made against Mrs. Andrews.
The Tribune regrets that this error was
made, and publishes this correction in
Justice to Mrs. Andrews.

The Critical Critic:

Savage criticism of book is well
come--a boomerang in its favor. A
contemporary assails E. K. Means

the authors name and that of the
book are the same. Now E. X.
Means is too modest to realize that
his name does stand for superior
and fascinating brand of story tell
ing. We will let you into secret.
1t was all Bob Davis fault. Some
remember Robert Davis as the
famous editor of All Stories and
the Munsey Magazines, others SIM
ply as Bob Davis of the sombrero,
the fishing rod and the--well--
auburn epithet. Now Bob received
SO many letters from the readers of
the magazines in which the rollick-
ing Negro stories appeared, asking
for more f. K. Means that he turned
TO the phone one morning. ''Theres
your title for the complete book" "
he said. SO the public was given
