additional levy of eight and nine
tenths (S.9) mills for which we ask
makes total levy Of thirteen and
nine-tenths (139) mills.
I'VE invite the careful attention
of the voters of this district to the
school budget. The estimate this
year for current expenses is $4,117.5O
less than last year. The estimate
for interest and sinking fund is
$6,50O0O less making a total of
$10,6175O less than last year. This
is possible because we had heavy
expenses last year for repairs and
improvements of school buildings.
The budget last year was based up
on an assessed valuation of $11,-
10000, but decrease in assessed
valuation this year has lowered it
to $9,99S,999.
I'VE trust that the voters will go
to the polls on April %, and vote
this additional levy in order that
we may maintain the same high
standard in our schools as we have
had heretofore.-B. B. Barefoot, L.

of the Chickasha school district to
the special election which will be
held on Tuesday, April 25, for the
purpose of making an extra levy, as
has been done for many years, for
the maintenance Of the public
schools, the local board of education
today issued the following state
ment:
There appears in the paper today
a notice calling the attention of the
voters of this school district to a
special election to be held on April
25, 1922, for the purpose of voting
an additional eight and nineteenth
(S.9) mills for the purpose Of run
ming the schools next year.
Under the laws Of this state, if
any levy is made in excess Of five
mills, it is necessary that it be ap-
proved by the voters of the school
district. Therefore a special elec-
tion has been held at Chickasha each
year as it is impossible to run the
schools of any city in this state up
on five mill levy. No city in this
state the size of Chickasha has less
than a fifteen mill levy, while the

Genoa, April l5.-An agreement
under which European nations would

Ter Lloyd George OF Great Britain at

A plan whereby the rest OF Europe

guiding the conference toward this
end was seen in the meetings be.

Plan LlquIdate Debts.

Lloyd George hopes that these no.
gotlations will lead TO limited
agreement which will liquidate the
debts the allies claim are due them
from Russia from which basis re-
sumption OF relations could be ef.
fected. To achieve this end, how
ever, the British chief must COM
promise between the attitude OF
Russia, who claim they should not
be made to pay anything and that
Of France whose delegates claim the
Russians should be made TO pay In
full all the obligations contracted
by the czarist regime In addition
to claims France has rolled up since
then.
The basis OF compromise agree
ment which Lloyd George hopes to
effect is understood to be:
Russia would fully recognize all
debts contracted previous to the war
by the old Russian regime TO satisfy
the French.
From this basis transactions for
offsetting Russia's debts with her
claims against the allies would be
carried on.
Russians maintain that these
claims for damages, incurred In the
various anti-bolshevik campaigns,
would more than offset the claims
against Russia.
Deadlock Rumor Feared.
The British were concerned today
lest the widespread reports of a
deadlock in the unofficial negotia-
tions here would defeat Lloyd
Georges aim and prevent him from
returning to London with another
to use against the foes who
seek his downfall.
An authorized description Of the
situation from Lloyd George today
said:
1--WE are building bridge across
O turbulent stream. 1t is difficult
Job but we are making headway.
We've driven several important
piles. Now we have the promise of
through deep water"
The British say the situation con-
the conference as result
Of the conflicting Russian and
French claims on debts is very deli
cate but they deny there is a dead
lock.
