| In making the order, Judge Wilson
| prefaced his remarks by referring to
the operating conditions OF the line,
saying that they were better than they
had been and that Receiver H. r. Vol.
holm had done good work in bringing
about these conditions. He said thai
a sale Of the road would entail heavy
loss but that the road could not CON
tinue to be operated unless there were
alienation Of circumstances He said
that all three municipalities seemed TO
be interested in having the road con

TO GIVE AID TO STARVING
Reports Of Unions in West Vir.
ginia Coal Fields Contradicted
by Gov. Morgan.

West Virginia coal miners who say
their families are starving have ap-
pealed directly to President Harding
for government aid. Letters the
miners have sent to the President are
contradictory of the statement issued
by Gov. Morgan of West Virginia.
that there is no starvation among the
miners families. The letter to the
President from the local union of the
United Mine Workers at Marfork, w.
Va, says:
AT the meeting of our local union
located at Marfork, w. Va, the
miners instructed US to appeal to you
for financial aid to support their
wives and babies. The men have
worked about three months this year.
Why the mines are not running we
are unable to say. The majority. or
practically all, of these men. who
number about 200. are in a destitute
condition, some not even having a
meal ahead nor the means of obtain
ing such. The only hope We have to
ward off intense suffering Is by ap-
pealing to our national government
for aid through you"

The condition of Mrs. Harry NJ.
Daugherty, wife of the Attorney Cen
eral, who underwent an operation at
Johns Hopkins Hospital yesterday,
was reported very satisfactory
this morning. She was said to have
had a good night.
Persons in close touch with the
case said that she rallied quickly
from yesterdays operation and this
fact, together with the Improvement

hopes for an early recovery.
Mrs. Daugherty has been at the
hospital the greater part of the time
during the last three months.
Attorney General Daugherty. ac-
companied by Jesse w. Smith of
Ohio, close personal friend and
secretary of the Harding pre-con-
vention campaign committee, went to
Baltimore yesterday and were at the
hospital when an operation was per-
formed on Mrs. Daugherty. The
operation was performed by DR..

vision of DIR. Llewellys F. Barker.
MRS. Daugherty has been suffering
from disease Of the joints for the
last fifteen years." Mr.. Smith said.
"It has only been her courageous
fight and wonderful determination
which has allowed her to forestall
the operation until today. She rail-
lied from the operation in wonderful
fashion, which buoys up our hopes
for her early recovery"

WAR CLOUD STILL HERE,
DECLARES NINE. HARD
Swedish Woman Says World Has
Not Reached Aims It Is
Striving For.

Nations have not yet made any
great sacrifice for the cause Of peace
and "the war cloud is still over us.
declared Nine. Siri Hard of Sweden
in analyzing the efforts to the arms
conference yesterday at the forum OF
the National Council for the Limita-
ton of Armaments at 532 18th street.
''The world has not reached the
aims for which it Is striving" Nine.
Hard said. She declared that the
gains of the conference lay in the
fact that the thought and attention
Of the world have been turned by it
toward peace and that the influence
of the United States by both Presi-
dent Harding and former President
Wilson has been thrown on the side
of world peace.
Increase in understanding among
the peoples of the world was declared
by Mrs. Mary Dawson Snider, OF
Canada to be the outstanding gain
of the conference.
''The parts of the British empire
she said. have been brought closer
together; the people of Japan and
America have been brought closer
together: we all understand better the
point Of view of France and Italy
and the other nations. Above all
the newspaper correspondents who
have met the representatives of vari-
Gus nations have gained a liking and
respect for them which will inevi-
tably be reflected in all that they
write for the papers of their own
countries"
Miss Nellie Margaret Scanlan OF
New Zealand stated that to her mind
in addition to minimizing the causes
of war. that "one of the great con-
nribuitons Of this conference was
the more businesslike method OF
dealing with international problems
which it had developed and the
demonstrated value Of face o-face con-
Sultation between nations"

task of combating the bolshevik menace

"In 1918 there developed an anom-

tho conjunction effected by German

FRANCE ELOAN|NG
ON GERMAN DEBT
Government Has Advanced
Fifty Billion Francs on Ex-

ADVISER EXPLAINS POLICY
Casenave Tells How Issues Of
Notes Were Replaced by
Treasury Bills.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.


The French government has already
advanced fifty billion francs for pen
sions and the reconstruction of the
devastated regions against the pay
ments hoped for ultimately from Ger
many, according to a statement made
to me today by Maurice Casenave.
chief financial adviser to the French
delegation. AS a result, reconstruc-
tion is well under way. Homes have
had to wait; but the fields are under
cultivation again. and one sees in the
devastated regions beautifully equip
ped new factories. surrounded by huts.
in which employer and employees alike
are living in hardship.
Accused of JuEglery.
"The French government has been ac-
cused of having recourse to financial
3ugglery instead of paying for repara-
tionS by means of taxation" continued
NJ. CaSenave. But how could such
enormous sums be covered by taxa
tionc We have been deprived of about
one-fifth of our taxable revenue by
devastation. The rest of France has
suffered from the war. Two million
able-bodied young men are dead or
crippled; the rest of the men were all
mobiliZed. Can it be imagined that, in
these conditions, the rest of France
could be taxed without limit? Ac-
cording to calculations recently
made, England is being taxed 26 per
cent of its total annual income. the
United States s per cent. Germany 12
per cent. and France, 10 per cent. Is
10 per cent too little considering that
of a total population of 100000.
100000, living in the devastated re-
gions, were ruined, and are not tax
able?
Loans Are FlOated.

others by special bank. the Credit
National, created for the purpose:
Still others, by corporations formed
to employ the organized credit of the
devastated populations themselves.
AT first. the amount of paper
money was also increased; but the
government, considering that this in
f1ation endangered public credit. put
an end to the issue of notes by the
Banque de France. In the two last
years, not only has the printing of
notes completely stopped. but the
outstanding circulation has been re-
duced. at the rate of about two mil
lion francs a month, Or a total of
moro than two billion francs.
Explains Treasury Bills
1nstead of initiating the currency.
as the Germans have done, France
issued treasury bills. This policy
needs explanation.
Neither taxation nor the slow
process of consolidated loans were
equal to the immediate need of the
ment had therefore to devise means
for mobilizing all the available funds
of France.
This was done by issuing treasury

bills, and France has been reproached
with the fact. However, thanks to
these treasury bills, the $4,000, 200, 900
francs needed for pensions and recon-
struction. which should have been
paid by Germany, but was not, have
been successfully raised. Such a
mobilization of credit is proof of the
confidence che French people have In
the coup:ry's financial power.
Results OF Policy.
"a policy can be judged by its re-
suits. These results are as follows:
"A large part of the work Of re-
construction has been completed, a
fact which will henceforth be of great
help to the French treasury.
"The French people are hard at
work. in conditions of political and
social peace. Since the war. there
have been strikes even in countries
less hurt by the war than France; in
France there are no strikes. there is no
social unrest: every one goes peace
fully to his work. OF a population of
40.OO0,0O0. some $4,000 only are out of
employment"
