When Johnny says a thing he
means it. He is a stiekler for dis

it costs him the main cogs in his
machine.
Pitcher Jim Vaughn, fig red as
one of the main pillars of pitching
strength on the club, didn't strike
his stride this spring.
Evers claimed the big Hippo
wasn't observing training rules
that any athlete should keep.
Vaughn was warned to get back
in the straight and narrow" He
didn't. His 30-day suspension has
been okayed by President William

young pitchers to carry the load

lloyd GEORGE TO
PROMOTE WORLD
ECONOMIC MEET

Washington, Dec. 13.-(By A. PD-
Some of the foreign diplomats in
attendance at the Arms conference
have received word which they inter-
pref as indicating that David Lloyd
George, the British premier, is pre-
pairing to take the initiative in world
economic matters. having become
convinced from the results OF inquir-
les made here that the American
government does not intend to call
an international economic meeting, at
least not in the near future.
The British prime minister's plan
according to the information in the
hands of these diplomats, contem-
plates the cancelling Of all war debts
owing to Great Britain by Italy,
France, Belgium, Russia, and the
smaller Balkan allies, amounting
with interest to upwards Of two bill
lions sterling.
Premier LLOYD George, 1t Is recall
ed, proposed to President Wilson that
ALI inter- allied debts including those
owing to the United States should be
cancelled but his present designation.
according to the understanding. does
not include the renewal of that sug-
gestion to the United States. He is
said to intend to annual the debts
Of other countries due Great Britain,
subject to conditions, one it is under
stood, being that France should for
give the debts OF allied countries to
her amounting to about the equival-
ent of two billions Of dollars and an
other being a reduction Of German
reparations due to France by 1851

the French government borrowed
from England during the war and is
about as large a sum as that loaned
to France by the United States.

exchange then used Of 5.45 francs to
the dollar.
The idea Of the British government
acting independently OF the United
States in the cancellation Of debts,
according to foreign officials here ap
pears to have originated with Austen
Chamberlain when he was chancel-
lor of the eXchequer. When Sir Rob-
ert Horne succeeded to the chancel-
lorship he objected to striking Off
from among the British assets so
large a sum as the 1,s00.000,00O sterl-
ing due with accrued interest. Mr..
Lloyd George is understood to have
been allowing the matter to rest until
the present but the approaching cris-
is in the finance Of several continen-
tai countries. particularly Germany.

by Worthington Evans and others

diplomats. Lloyd George would pre-
