met at Bryant Hall. Each side then
reaffirmed It's original stand.
Mathew Woll. president of the inter-
national union and one of the vice-presi-
dents Of the American Federation Of
Labor, said at Bryant Hall. that the
local lockout was the result of a nation
wide drive on wages by the American
Association of Employing Photo-En-

ployers violated their pledges by posting
notices of cessation OF work In the
shops.

The French Government owes to the
United States s3,709,175.3s2 In principal
and interest on war loans, according to
the last official computation Of the
Treasury Department
Attention was directed to the extent OF
the French debt to-day, following the In
PRODUCTION in the House Of a resolution
by Representative Reavis (Neb.), direct
ing this Government to call on France to
begin making payments.
The resolution was inspired by the
plans OF France for armament, which are
being disclosed TO the Conference on the
Limitation of Armament. To Represen-
tative Reavis these plans seem ambi-
tious enough to warrant the United
States in asking France to divert a part
or her revenues to the United States In
payment of her debt.
Except for England. France is the
largest debtor of the United States
England's debt is in excess of $4,000
100000. or nearly 25 per cent greater
than that of her former ally.
The French debt itemizes on the Of
fetal balance sheet of the Treasury De-
partment as follows:
s2,s50.762.s3S due as a result of
unpaid cash advances under the Lib
erty Loan acts.
$400,0cS 900 for supplies provided
by the War Department.
$357.917,937 accrued interest on
cash advances.
s492,5o7 accrued interest on war
supplies bought.
$3.709.173.3S2 total debt Of France
to United States.
This total Is of NOyenbpr Ia. the
last date for which the French debt
was computed and officially announced
by the Treasury Department Bearing
interest at per cents the debt Is in
creasing daily and the total now Is
nearly $50, 100000 greater than that OF
the official announcement
Since receiving the cash advances and
the war supplies France has made in
terest payments totaling $149.609.o95 OF
which $129.570,376 was on the principal
loans made under the Liberty bond act.
On the principal France has paid $46,-
714,S62.
Administrative officials of the Gov
ernnent and especially those of the
Treasury Department to-day indicated
that 1t probably would be impo sslble to
comply with the Reavis resolution IL II
were to pass both Houses OF Congress
and be approved by President Harding.
They made this clear privately. although
none was willing to be quoted. France
at present is regarded as unable to OBJ
tain any funds which could be diverted
to the United States in payment Of the
debt

According to the Word of truth

They look into the mirror of the
Word. and when they see the spots
of mud on their faces, they realize that
it is their own fault. not the fault of

remember their faults and pray God TO
correct them.
They bride their tongue. They
don't rattle stupidity and lasphemy
into the surrounding ether continually.
They visit the fatherless and wild
