|BARUCH'S VIEWS
ON ALLIED DEBTS

Washington, Sept. 13.-Inter-can-
collation. of war debts by the Allies
and the United States as suggested
by the Earl of Balfour, the British
foreign minister, in his recent note,
could, in the opinion of B. Nj. Bar
UGH, be considered by America only
in event that Great Britain should
paration claims against Germany.
Mr.. Baruch, who was head of the
war industries board and who acted
as economic adviser to the American
commission to the Versailles peace
conference, set forth this view togeth-
er with other observations on the
war debt question in a letter received
and read by Senator Borah, Republi-
can. Idaho, today in the Senate.
The letter discussed the repara-
tions and war debt questions at
length, its writer declaring it would
be difficult to convince the Amer
lean people that the Allies were I'M
able. to repay the ten billion dollars
loaned them by the United States
during the war as long as they were
demanding payment of at least that
amount by Germany as reparations.
The RECOMMENDATION suggestion
Of the Balfour note represented only
one schol Of European thought, Mr..
Baruch said, adding that he was
convinced all of the nations to whom
the United States loaned money
/ could pay and would pay if given suf-
f1cient time and opportunity Ger
| many, also, he asserted, could meet
the reparation demands of the AL
] lies if accorded the same treatment.
REIMBURSEMENT of the inter- Allied
debts and the German reparations
question, he wrote, must be treated
together and any decision must be so
| made that the peoples affected would
look forward with hope and not
backward with hate"

The first of the three days fair
OF the Gardiner Driving club will SO
down in history as one great day.
After being postponed for a day, the
smiling skies of Wednesday brought
out a good crowd bent on enjoying
themselves and they did. If anybody
didn't have good time they can
blame nobody but themselves.
The midway with numerous tent
shows Ferris wheel and Whip Were
attractions The large tents erected
for the stock and poultry were
thronged and the exhibit in both
cases was worthy of a much larger
place. Nearly every coop in the
poultry department was filled and
the grade of birds exhibited was en-
celient.
During the day Aviator Kuhn
made numerous trips aloft and gave
thrills to both passengers and spec
tators. First off he would take up a
lady who wanted to fly over the city.
Next trip he would take up some
chap whose ambition was to loop the
loop. He had his wish granted and
one chap made three loops in sue
cession.

Mine Mule Of Early
Days 10 Disappearing

WEST FRANKFURT. H.. Sept.
i3.-The mine mule. whose history
dates back to the days of early coal
mining In southern Illinois, grad.
uaily Is disappearing Just as IL Old
Dobbin. the once familiar dray
horse. With the gradual disappear
snee Of the faIthful hard tall" old
miners are preserving for pos,erity
tales OF pathos and sympathy for
the once essential draft animal OF
the mining industry.
Stories pic;uring the mule going
blind by constantly being kept un-
dergrcund and picturing the col;
born far below the surface are dis
counted by the more truth-loving
miners as fairy tales and by the
mine operators as stories whose DO
sign Is to lend q touch OF romance
to the early history OF coal mining.
The modern mine finds use for
only one mule. that for the distri-
button OF powder after the miners
have been hoisted to the surface.
This mule is lowered to the bot
tom OF the shaft. but brought back
up after completing Its work and
is cared for In a stable above
ground. Electrical power IL used
almost exclusively for hauling Goa
carts under ground.
