HIGH TARIFF ON CLOTHES
BARS FRENCH MODEL s

NEW YORK. Aug. so.-Paul Poi.
ret, high priest Of French dress de-
signing. said today at the Ritz Carl
ton that the new 90 per cent tariff
on clothes will make 1t impossible
for French dressniakers to send their
models over here any longer.
He is therefore going to set up a
complete establishment in New York,
coming here twice a year to super
wise. American women will no longer
have to cross the ocean to see Paris
styles, and NJ. Poiret will have to
pay an income tax, but no duty.
The arbiter Of fashion is being
badly served, said M. Poiret, who, in
1913, decreed the long skirt, only to
find America rebellious and clinging
to the short skirt three years later.
Either America should be original
enough to design entirely different
clothes, or else she should be more
obedient in following the mandates
of Paris" he declared

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-An i'm
portant conversion privilege Is Of
fered to holders Jof the ~ per cent
bonds Of the United Kingdom Of
Great Britain and Ireland, due No
vember /. 1922. These bonds may
be converted into per cent nation
al war bonds, payable in sterling
at 105. on February 1, 1929. These
bonds have been quite active Of
late and are now selling In the list
ed market at around 108.
For the purpose Of conversion,
and in accordance with an agree
rhent made some time ago, sterling
exchange Is to be computed at the
Note holders will therefore receive,
cent war bonds, new bonds In the
par value of 232 pounds IL shillings.
The new bonds will be issued in
denominations of SO, 100, 200, 500,
1000 and 5000 pounds sterling.
The total amount of the original
issue was $3.50, ,000, 900 and subscrib-
ers were given the choice OF taking
either the 1922 or the 1929 matur-
!ty. Considerably more than one
half of the bonds were issued for
the latter date. American investors
who are holders of these bonds
should lose no time In .conferring
with the investment bankers on the
subject Of conversion, which priv
ilege will expire In about two
months.
Only two reasons will prevent the
interest collections from foreign war
debts being used for the payment OF
a soldier bonus, as outlined In recent
legislation proposals in Congress.
The first is that under existing legis-
lation these payments, IL and when
made, have already been assigned to
reduction of our own war debt; and
the second reason is that there II
little likelihood Of such payments
swamping our Treasury for q long
time to come. II is extremely unfor-
ttlnate that a delicate situation In
international finance should be con-
nected in any way with a project to
extort unwilling votes from ex-serv-
ice men, for that Is all II amounts
to.
Members Of our debt funding COM
mission expect to meet shortly with
the British delegation which viii be
empowered to make some suggestive
temporary adjustment of the British
war debt. The French commission
has come and gone. with little accom-
plished except placing emphasis On
the fact that, for the present, at
least. France is unable to pay.
Britain can do better, and has al
ready done better. but not much can
be expected from the other European
countries for a long time to come.
Offering Is made today Of an issue
Of 81, ZOO, 900 Martel Mills, Inc, first
mortgage per cent convertible gold
bonds. series A. at 1856 and in
terest. to yield about IN per cent.
The issue is dated july 1, 1929, and
is due July /, 1897. The indenture
provides for redemption of the bonds
at los, less one-half of per cent for
each eighteen months or part thereof
elapsed thereafter. 1t also provides
for conversion into preferred stock.
