U. S. TO ATTEMPT TO
COLLECT ARMY EXPENSES

The United States will deal directly
with the allied Governments in an
effort to obtain the $241 100000 owed
for the maintenance Of the army on
the Rhine.
Notes will be dispatched shortly
setting forth the contention of this
Government that the payment should
be made from the first billion marks
Of German reparations.
Allied Finance Ministers, meeting
in Paris. allotted the reparation funds
among themselves, and declined To
accede to the request Of the United
States for payment. The disposition
Of the funds was made subject to the
rights Of the United States, and the
question was referred back to the
various Governments.
The American Government is de-
sirous that its claim be acknowl-
edged. While payment is wished as
quickly as possible, there is no in
clination to press for an immediate
settlement once, it is clear the money
is forthcoming. 1t is considered inn
possible to deal directly with Ger
many on the matter because the
treaty of Versailles gives the allies
prior lien on German assets.

URGE ESTABLISHMENT OF
FREE CAMP SITE

The Lions Club and the Chamber
OF Commerce are very active in an
effort to provide free camping
ground for tourists who are passing
through Durant on one of our high
ways, and have in mind a site, readily
accessible, yet with ample room,
where free running water and free
electric lights may be had by the
campers. 1t is hoped that the camp
ing site may be reality wi within
the next few weeks.
The bulletin of the Chamber Of
Commerce says the following things
in behalf of such an institution:
For those who do not know the
value of tourists trade to a town. the
following facts are given.
Five persons travel from town to
town on public highways in automo-
biles for the one passenger who trav-
els by train.
On an average 300 cars a day
traverse the jefferson HIGHWAY
during the tourist season.
Each town along the way, which
has tourist camp, gets an average
of Sl.O0 out of each tourist passing
through, which totals S2,100 per
week picked up from the tourist, as
they pass through.
Nearly half the dinners in one
busy restaurant proved to be auto
tourists when asked to stand up,
Drug stores, cold drink stands and
other business located on highways
profit from the tourists.

Mrs. Debouchelle declared that OBJ

reason, according to her setatement
today.
'In the first place am a Catho-

Bishop Gambler does not approve of
