MORE TIME GIVEN GERMANY
Moratorium Is Granted BY Allied

London.-Three important develop.
ments emerged from the confusion
into which the resignation of Aristide
BRAND. the French premier, threw the
Cannes negotiations. These were.
first. that a ministry headed by Ray
mond Poincare will take the place Of
the BRAND administration; second,
that the Genoa economic conference
appears to have been saved out OF the
wreckage, and third, that the repara-
tons committee. acting under the dis
erection 1t possesses by virtue of the
Versailles treaty, has granted Ger
many moratorium until the allies
arrive at new decision with regard
to her condition.
Germany, instead OF paying the
500.000.000 gold marks due Sunday.
Is to pay every ten days approximately
100000 gold marks, which latter
amount is considered as representing
2S per cent of her exports.

A suggestion by a designer
that a large sum could be saved
by using local material in its con-

1t was the purpose of the late

gate this, just before his sudden
demise. Mr.. Long lost son in
the war and was very enthusiast
tic over this project and had he
lived would have heen a factor in
its construction. He he'd in mind,
looking into the material now be-
ing used in the construction of
the convent near Cottonwood
and the present board intend to
carry out the same investigation.
If this matericl can be utilized it
will be a great help and expedite
the construction in a more econ

special effort will be made to lay

TO keep ALLIED DEBT
AND BONUS SEPARATE

Washington. d. C.--The soldier bo-
nus bill win not be made part OF
the allied debt refunding bill. Chair
man McCumber OF the senate finance
committee. said after a series OF con-
ferences between senate leaders TO
discuss the desirability Of merging the
two and after 1t became known that
President Harding did not favor the
suggestion that they be combined.
President Harding does not look
with favor on the suggestion before
senate republican leaders that the
bonus and the allied debt refunding
bill should be combined. Although
the merger plan was originally re-
ceived favorably by number OF sen
ate leaders, the president was said
to regard II as impractical and his
view was reflected In the further con-
ferences between senate leaders.
He was represented. however. as
not hostile to the suggestion that the
interest or principal Of the allied loans
be used for paying the bonus once
they we're available.
The president. however. was said TO
regard as impractical a suggestion
that over 5000 900 In the hands OF
the alien property custodian be used
for bonus payments. These funds. Il
was stated. we're regarded a. pledged
technically to private individuals
whose property was taken.

Cavalry Bands Must Be OF Dis

There are grades of honor, even
among horses. We are apt to think of
the war horse as u proud animal, and
so he Is, and has right to be, for he
Is called upon to be ms brave AS he Is
proud. But proudest and most dignl-
fed of all horses of the army Is the
animal that Is called upon to fill the
position of drum-horse In the regimental
band. In the American and British
armies cavalry bands are mounted, and
the most honorable position in all the
band Is that of the bearer of the Kettle
drums. The horse Is selected for his
distinguished appearance. He Is often
piebald. altho sometimes pure white.
Something more than mere beauty OF
form is required of the drum-horse. He
must be trained until he becomes dig
nified and graceful bearer of the hand

where his pride and intelligence make
