Lloyd George Fayors French
ProposaI'to to Call Off War
Obligations.
By EARLE C. REEVES.
luteruatisnaI News Service.

LONDON, Feb. S.--While Premier
Lloyd George and Sir Auckland
Geddes, the British ambassador to
the United States, were canvassing
the whole question of allied war
debts today, 1t was learned from an
official source that the British prime
minister looks with favor upon the
French proposal for the cancellation
Of the allies war obligations, in
cluding the stupendou- sums owed
by the Entente powers to the United
States.
SAYS GEDDEs Is PRo-U. 8.
Premier Lloyd George and other
members OF the cabinet are said to
have complained that. Sir Auckland
Geddes is 'too pro-American" in his
attitude upon two world. issues in
volvtng the. United Statess namely.
war debts and the Japanese question
The premier is not ready to admit
that the question OF anulling the
allied war debts has been shelved for
all time He Is continuing to search
for an indirect, method of unloading
part of Britain's annual obligations,
the magnitude of which are making
the budget so burdensome to the pub
lie as to threaten the life of the pres
ent government t
While there are differences of opin-
ion between the Cabinet and Sir Auck-
land Geddes, IL was declared authori-
tatively that there Is no threat Of an
open break on account of the popu-
larity of the British ambassador In
America
1t is n notable fact that none OF
the important British newspapers ad-
vocate anullment of the British debt
to the United States. On the con-
trary, they urge its payment
awE SHALL PAY PROMPTLY
The question of repayment to the
United States is no question at all:
II Is settled" said the Times. I'VE
shall pay fully and promptly on any
reasonable terms that Washington
proposes"
1--WE trust that the American pub
lie will not misunderstand Mr.. Cham
berIain's references to the allied war
debts in his Birmingham speech last
Friday" said the Morning Post.
-Great Britain has no intention OF al
lowing the cordial relations toward
America to be imperilled by the in
definite postponement OF the repay
ment OF large sums due to the United
States. II is not for this country to
ask America, which was only a lender
and not borrower. to cancel debts
because the allies may cancel their
debts to each other"
After pointing out the advisability
of England's cancellation of the debts
owing to her by the allies on the
ground n would lead to prosperity,
the Morning Post continued:
"The inter-allied debts having been
cancelled, Great Britain will proceed
to fund the debt due to the United
States by charges which the people
OF this country will accept ms a mat
ter Of course. The British nation
would regard any suggestion for the
remittance of our debt to America a.

Man Has Better Shape
Than Woman, Edict

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. s.-The We
nus de Milo had It all over the mod
ern female college student, according
to DR.. r. TAFT Mckenzie. or the phys
ical department of the University of
Pennsylvania, and not only that, but
the modern American male youth has
retained more of the classic beauty
of the human form than has the fe-
male of the species.
Nothing divine about it." says the
terse but authoritative DR.. Mckenzie
in his article on The Search for Ply
sical Perfection" He lauds the male
and condemns the female of the collie
giate species in these words:
''The American youth does not show
up so badly, coming as he does in his
proportions between the two ex-
tremes (the tall and the sturdy of
the Greeks; but the college girl, mod
eled from the measurements taken
during the last thirty years, shows a
rather flat-chested and poorly de-
veloped young woman"

The fight for control of the Demo

be sizzling for the next two weeks
or more is perfectly clear In Its pur-

the inside of Democratic politics.
COX LOOKED OVER GROUND.

They had been considerably worried
by the Democratic deficit. because II

CONG. BLACKMON OF
ALABAMA IS DEAD

BARLOW, Ala, Feb. Sired
erick l.. Blackmon, member of Con-
gress from Alabama, died here
early today. Mr.. Blackmon was
Democrat and his home was in
Admission, Ala.
Congressman Blackmon was
forty-seven years Of age, and had
represented the fourth (Anniston,
district Of Alabama since and in
Guiding The Sixty-second Congress.
He was born at Lime Branch,
Polk county, Georgia, September
15, 1873.

A noteworthy restriction is, how
ever that he has teen far more sue
cessful in producing organisms lack
ing in normal parts, than in evolving
abnormally large or vigorous organs.
The same difficulty has been met in
attempts to produce surplus limbs or
organs. except In the case OF double"
animals.
COMPLICATED SYSTEM.
DR.. 'Stockard's success has been
brought about by use of a compIicat-
ed system of experiments in which
chemical reactions and physical pow
crs have been used in conjunction
with more purely biological laws.
phase significant also in the
study of Influence on and determine

Of the more recent success Of DR..
Stockard has been achieved by ex-
perimentation with varying tempera-
ture effects.
Yin this connection It was recalled
that within the past few days cables
have announced that Drs. Adler and
Herwig, OF Frankfort, have been able,
by subjecting frog-eggs to n temper
ature OF twenty-six to thirty degrees
centigrade, to produce males only.
French scientists. according to Paris
cables, hope to extend analogous ex-
periments to human beings.
II was explained yesterday by DR..
Kelly, however. that experiments of
this type have not yet been made
practicable In the case of human be-
ines. They so far are confined. he
said, to "cold-blooded' animals, such
as fish, which may readily be frozen
in blocks of Ice during spawning sea-
son without causing death, and In
species In which the egg develops
outside OF the body. as in tho case OF
fowls and certain reptiles. Virtually
all those forms OF lower animal life
in which the body has little intrinsic

LIQUOR CAN'T BE SENT
ELSEWHERE THROUGH US.

Shipment OF liquor from one coun-
try 10 another through the United
states is prohibited by the national
prohibition act. This is the ruling
Of the Attorney General of the United
States The ruling was made today
in response to a request OF the pro-
hibition bureau. which has received
numerous reports that LIQUOR was
being sent FROM Canada to Mexico
and Cuba.
The real reason, II Is said for the
asking for the ruling was that the
liquor was disappearing while en-
route IN the United states. and was
being sold In violation OF the law In
many places. Detroit, II was said,
was flooded with Canadian hauor
which had entered this country In the
guise Of being shipped to Mexico

by demanding that the newspa-
