GASES along New York's famous gay

under prohibition, but on the swarm
ing East Side saloons still are flour

A survey by the Anti-Saloon
League made public today set forth
only 23 per cent of the old saloons in
the Broadway district now were open
for business. Along twelve miles OF
the famous thorofare-the old cock
tail trail" only forty-one places are
alleged still to be ministering to the
thirsty.
But on the East Side. particularly
along First, Second and Third ave-

are said to be "still doing business at
the same old stand" The league
pointed to this high percentage as

as he claims, IL was learned here to-
day.
While the White House would have
nothing to say regarding the matter
and is taking no hand in the case, 1t
is known that the Chicago man also
has been representing himself as an
assistant secretary to the President,
the position held by Rudolph Forster.
Letters so addressed have been reach
ing the White House.
Jimmy" Sloan, former secret serv-
ice man. who acted as President
Harding's body guard during the
campaign and now is attached to the
White House executive staff, went to
Chicago to make an investigation. He
was told that Everett A. Harding is
the father of the young girl who has
been widely reported as having been
invited by the President and Mrs.
Harding to come to the White House
to live with them. No such invita-
ton ever was issued or thought of.
1t was understood that Mr.. Sloan's
object in going to Chicago was not to
cause an arrest, but to end the an
noyance and embarrassment tnat mas
been caused the President. Apparent
ly this effort failed and the arrest
followed.
Besides spreading reported invita-

member of the White House family

JAPANESE SEER
SEES BAD YEAR
Prophet OF The Orient Had Foretold
The Marriage OF Wilson
To Widow.

respondent.
Toxic, April 2.-The fortunes of
the United States of America for
1921, as seen by Prof. Donsho Koda-
ma, Oriental seer and diviner. are
most discouraging. Professor Koda-
ma it was who visited in the United
States, talked to- President Wilson
and received the executives assur-
ance that he had no intention of re-
marrying, yet Immediately prophe-
sled that the President would marry
widow. At the Peers Club in Toxic
he recently called representative ia
panese and foreign newspaper men
together that he might give them, as
is his custom, the prophecy for 1921
regarding the powers of the world.
Brightness appears in the predic-
tion of Professor Kodama only for the
japanese empire, and even In this
country the failure to solve the AM
erica-Japan question is discourage
ing note. America, says the Japan
ese prophet is to experience an ex-
tremely hard year. England will be
sorely torn by internal strife, Ger
many is headed either for the devil
or for prosperity at breakneck speed,
while Russia will continue to be a
seething pot of turmoil and will be
Stunned by the world at large.
China will suffer from renewed
drouths and will experience a radical
administrative change, but Japan is
to be blessed by the gods and will
smile in the sunshine of an all-round
prosperous year in which all her
problems save the Acknowledgements
question will be solved.
Professor Kodama's method Of re-
ceiving prophecies is most interesting.
He claims to obtain important divi-
nations by a certain ceremony in
which he makes himself as one OF
the gods, and thus hears their divine
messages. The United States Pro-
/ fessor Kodama compares to "a man
without legs to stand on" but he
hastens to assure America that some
great powers, possibly from Asia, will
assist her to regain her equilibrium
and recover her composure. Japan
and America" he says, stand like
1.-TWO mountains. There will be no
definite solution of the problems now
pending between them, as neither
mountain can approach the other"
The reports that Japan may have a
new premier during the year of 1921
were denied by the prophecy of Pro
fessor Kodama. Premier Hara, ac-
cording to the divination, is to remain
head of the government at least
twelve months longer.
Queried as to whether or not any
of his larger prophecies had ever fail
ed in Undertaking. Professor Koda-
ma admitted that he had been too
quick while in America in 1915, to
predict a Republican victory. After
the Wilson second term victory he
realized that he had been too quick
in predicting Republican success.
'"By the way" he said, 81 predict
ed at the White House that President
Wilson would marry widow. The
President told me then that he had

EUROPE MUST Pay
WAR DEBT IN FULL
Firm Stand Taken By u. S.
On Foreign Loan
Question.

Washington, April 1.-The United
States government will insist that the
powers associated withsit in the war
with Germany repay, principal and
interest, their Indebtedness of more
than $40, 900, 900. 900 to this country.
President Harding and his cabi-
net discussed the whole question of
foreign Indebtedness at their meeting
today and the President disclosed af-
ter the conference that the policy Of
his administration is to regard the
foreign loans as a valued asset"
which ultimately must be repaid by
the debtor nations.
This is the first flat pronouncement
of the Harding administration on the
question of allied Indebtedness. 1t
refutes permanently all reports to the
effect that the new administration
might agree to cancellation.
The President let 1t be known fol-
lowing the cabinet meeting today that
the question OF t1o foreign loans nad
occupied a large part of the discus
sion aud that, while the nature OF the
discussion was not to be made pub
lie, IL could be stated as the pilicy
of his admir- IS tration to count upon
repayment of ;he principal and in
terest Of the ;ast sums advanced Nv
this country 10 the allied governments
during the war.
Accrued interest on these loans al
ready amounts to over $1,O0O,OOO,-
900 which brings the total of allied
indebtedness to date up to ten and a
half billions. No payments of interest
have been received by the United
States from any debtor governments,
/ except where they borrowed more
from this government for that pur-
pose.

Interest Deferred.

The Treasury Department, during
the Wilson administration and with
the approval of Congress, agreed to
the deferment of interest on these
debts for there years, ending in 1928.
In other words, payments of interest
on the debts in all probability will
not begin for over two years, by
which time another billion dollars in
interest payments viii have accrued
BY that time the total allied debt
principal and interest, will closely ap-
-oach a total of twelve billion.
As yet the Harding administration
has gone no farther than taking the
firm and final stand that the allied
debt must be repaid.
Just how it is to be done Will be a
matter for considerable negotiations
with the governments involved. AT
present the secretary of treasury
holds notes for the principal of loans
and has the power to convert them
into long-term obligations. In do
ing this he will have to work out
method of taking care of the defer
red interest.
The converted bonds, under the
law. can not bear a rate of interest
lower than that of the Liberty loan Is
sue which produced the money loan
ed to foreign powers.
The opinion of officials here is that
Europe's ability to pay is largely de-
pendent upon how soon she gets down
to work and affects her economic re-
Mobilization from the effects of war
The ability of the allied governments
to carry thru their intention of maxi
ing Germany pay also enters the pic
ture, it is said.
The whole question of repayment
of the huge allied Indebtedness, af-
fecting, as it does, the whole economic
structure of the world, is so vast that
this administration is as yet unpre-
pared to tackle it: Only thru patient
study on the part of experts with con-
sideration of each governments abil-
ity to pay can a solution be arrived at
! 1t is stated.
The comparative strength OF the
financial condition of Great Britain
with her vastly increased empire as
result of the war, may result In In
sistence that she begin payments on
her debt of $4,2OO,0OO,00O earlier
than the other nations This opinion
was expressed in some circles today
following the Presidents announce
ment of policy.
With regained financial health
other governments could fall in line
behind the United Kingdom to refund
their Indebtedness to the United
/ States.
The definite determination of the
Harding administration to demand
repayment of the allies war indebted
ness. it is believed, will have a far
reaching effect on foreign production
on which depends finally our ability
to collect.
