 Wano Gets Double
 From the aforementioned asser- tions it may be gathered that score- less time was had by all. In fact, only one athlete reached second base during the abbreviated melee fhis man was Redskin Wano. The Indian pounded out a two bagger to the right field walls in the fifth frame. but his hefty effort went for naught, even though he pulled this stunt as a started for the fifth.

The rally fell short, though, when Remson, the Migron shortstop, robbed Atkins of a terrific line drive and doubled O third, retiring the side Walker gathered two doubles and 5insie out of four trips to the plate.

 rally, Walker smashed the ball against the left field fence for two bags cleaning all three bases occu, pied by Bankston, Hickman and Crew. The only run Talladega made
 was on 2 bad throw to home, which

Little Rock Travellers and Bernie Barons are playing a double header at Redwood Field this afternoon. Such strenuosity was necessitated by virtue of a cloud leakage of Thursday afternoon when the two teams were battling away in one of the best game sof the season.
 It rained before the game. During the game it rained--intermittent and at the start of the latter half of the sixth inning the seepage be- came so pronounced that Umps Dan Pfenninger removed his mask from his watersoaked dome and called play for thirty minutes. At this stage of the pastime the contestants were locked in a 0-0 struggle. Thir- ty minutes of good autumnal rain fall found the field as soaked as a bar-fly and the umps gave out tht info that two games would be played today.

 Whether the spectator at Nine Glyn's thrilling picture The Great Moment" can agree with the author on not on this they must perceive the remarkable difference in the feeling of her picture compared to the great number of stories by other authors, whether 1t Is due to nationality or to individual temperament. The fact remains that The Great Movement is thrilling and deeply entertaining as love drama in way that is cer- tainly above the ordinary.
 Gloria Swanson and Milton Sills play together for the first time in this production. Others in the cast arc Alec B. Francis, F. R. Butler Helen Dunbar, Julia Faye and other well known actors.

 of swimmers may be seen there daily

 summer in Birmingham shows no
 signs of abatement.
 The large pool, said to be the only sand bottom swimming place in the district, is reported to be having it's
 biggest season this summer. The other amusements are said to be doing fine and the whole park is reported to be very popular as pie nic place. The beautiful grounds, the lake, the trees and the amusement Is are said to furnish an ideal outing grounds.

Wilbert picked up where Moley had left off on developing Bur leigh's strong right arm. Now the critics hail him a.. the best right-hander in the game.
 Moley's home town, Frederick, Maryland, won the pennant In the Blue Ridge league this summer. All of which means that the Baron chieftain will be able to winter in a winning city, even though he was unable to summer in one.
 Charlie Bell, after putting over pennat for the Greenwood team In the Mississippi State league, has returned to Birming- ham to spend the winter. Local admirers followed the fortunes of Charlle's team and pulled for 1t all through the summer.

FIVE GOOD ACTS ON LYRIC LAST HALF BILL

A light and graceful dancing and singing couple start the show for the last half of the week at the Lyric. The couple close their act with their best turn, an imitation or bowery couple. A good beginner.
 Bert Howard being billed the man with the piano" and preceded l by his piano reputation, was expect ed to give some fine piano solos. He did. His music is simply wonderful, very few pianists having ever reached the vaudeville stage who could so fill house with manages to make it reach to the very farthest corners, of the house. His comedy lines are good. This IS 1 one of the hits of the bill.
 The comedy singing act of Pauline Saxon and sister is entertaining and refreshing, in being full of life and fun of the more refined type. They are a winsome couple and Pauline makes a most engaging little "coun- itry miss" singing about her ''daddys 1 itoupe." Very well liked.
 Four gleeful. ftuneful and fine- Hooking young men make up the Elm City Four" who sing in auar- tette and solo or alternating giee club fashion. With fine clear voices and number of very fortunate se- lections. these four made the real hit of the bill.
 eThe Toonepville Tooters" is real fly a, "rube" jazz band act. and while the tooters are on, the house literal ly resounds throughout with thrill ling jazz. The rural types and the music met with the audiences ex- lpressed approval.

 fly to left, and Davis and Jonnard struck out.
 Guy Tutweiler registered couple of singles and Wano's two bagger completed the list of hits secured off Whiteys delivery. Bernsen and Gallagher were the only locals to dent Bubber's delivery for safe swats.
 All the more remarkable is the fact that errorless ball was played through these five innings of base ball. A muddy and slushy field greeted the athletes at the start of the game and despite continual skid ding, each man looked after his ter ritory with no bad results other than an occasion skid into the mud.
 Lineup Still Patched
 Captain Bernsen. who has charge of the Barons during Moley's ab- sence. was forced to continue with patched lineup. Tommy Gallag gher appeared in left, Dutch was in right, Brenner was on first base and ter Brandon was behind the plate. Looks like the fans are going to get a view of lots of Tooters receiving, now that Johnny Gooch has left the ranks for a berth with Pittsburg.
 Wheeler will probably work the first game this afternoon for the Moleys, with Phil Morrison chunking 'em in the second. Elberfeld will send Fields and Robinson against the Moleys.

Two of them, Luzon and Mindanao. are
each larger than tho State of Maine.
The group is more than LOO miles long
from north to south and has a population
of about 9, ,0OO,0 ,0O0 Here lies one of our
greatest insular responsibilities and per-
haps our greatest national danger.
Great Britain's ''insular possessions and
insular dominions" are quite as extensive,
important and valuable as are those of
Japan or those of the United States. An
attack upon or an invasion of any of these
is virtually declaration of war. The
optimist may tell US there is no danger,
but we recall the fact that thirty-two
years ago the war vessels of England,
Germany and the United States were
sent to Samoa as fast as steam could
drive them, there being a dispute as to
which of these three powers owned tho
Samoan islands. Fortunately the dispute
was settled by a three-power treaty,
which gave the islands to this country.
The high contracting parties who formu-
lated the four power treaty seem to have
fully realized that there could be no great
reduction of their navies unless the naval
defence line had been shortened by the
elimination of the islands from possible
national disagreements.

FOREIGN DEDTS To THE U. S.

paid dollar for each and every minute.
his total earnings would be little less
than one billion dollars.
Before the armistice we had loaned ap-
proximately eight billion dollars to foreign
nations and since then about two billion
dollars more. The interest due and un-
paid on these loans adds more than an
other billion to the obligations of the
debtor nations. The amount of the debt
is not in dispute and the United States
Treasury has 'promises to pay on de-
mand," etc., to show for the money loan
ed. A refunding bill was passed in the
House of Representatives some time ago
and was sent to the Senate for considera-
ton. Soon after the Christmas recess
this bill will be under discussion in the
Senate. In brief and in effect the re-
funding bill, as now drafted, recognizes
the fact that the debtor nations cannot
pay at the present time or in the neal
future. 1t proposes that the on demand
l. o. UPS now held by the United States
shall be refunded into longtime bonds.
The bill also proposes that the work of
refunding these debts shall be placed in
the hands of commission, composed of
five men and the Treasurer of the United
States is to be chairman of the commits
sion.
The balance sheet figured up to about
three months ago shows that nineteen
nations owe war debts to the United

This is indeed a staggering total.

lnlS Is indeed staggering total.
Suggestions have been made, coming
mainly from British sources, that we
should cancel all these foreign debts.
There are more than a few of our own
people who believe that economic world
conditions will eventually compel US to
do so. The American people, out of
whose pockets came the money loaned,
believe that these debts are debts of
honor and should be paid. They are abb
solutely right in holding this belief, but
the fact is plain that Armenia, Austria
Hungary, Esthonia, Lithuania, Poland,
Russia, Latvia, Rumania, Serbia and
Czecho- -Slovakia are poor countries, their
currencies are debased, their economic
conditions are chaotic and some of them
have no government worthy of the name.
These countries owe the United States
about $625, 600, 900 and we do not think
any commission can succeed in refunding
the debts of these countries into bonds
which will ever be worth ten cents on
the dollar. 1t is believed that Great
Britain, Italy, France and Belgium can
pay if their debts are refunded into long
term bonds bearing low rate of interest.
The existing agreements call for payment
in gold but there is no way whereby our
debtors can obtain gold until the trade
conditions of the world have been read
justed. Only the lapse of several years
can make that possible. 1t is now fully
realized that we must wait for the gold
or, if we are unwilling to do that. we
must take our pay in m manufactured goods.
Mr.. Fordney, speaking in the House of
representatives, said: eff we are to take
from those governments the products of
their labor, articles that we can produce
at home, and let our people rest in idle
ness, then I would say cancel the debt I"
