the name of Mrs. Lincoln upon it and
also the date of her birth. This was
accompanied by other good things too
numerous to mention. This dinner
was planned as surprise to Mrs.
Lincoln, by Mrs. Weber and Mrs

in that it surprised and delighted her
exceedingly. She also received show
er of birthday cards from relatives
and friends in Caribou, Skowhcgan.

Hartland; and from Springfield and
Greenfield. Mass. This added to the
enjoyment of the day and made her

bered by her. She is most grateful to
her many friends for making the day
such an enjoyable one for her.

care for Mrs Lineoln's father, Alex

years of age and alone in the world;
as her mother had died some years
before Here they made many friends
and were much respected by all who
knew them. They We're of the Puri-
tan type, peope of refinement and high

ty. Mr. Lincoln died five years ago

made her home with her grandson,
Frank l.. Hollister in St. Adams. She

one of her years. She cares for her
own room, does her own sewing,
laundry work and mending; besides
corresponding with a large circle of
relatives and friends. She writes
very bright and interesting letters in
a clear and eligible hand. She reads
the newspapers, is very we'll posted
upon the affairs of the times and can
talk intelligently on any subject. Mrs.
Lincoln has been a person OF intelli-
gent and attractive personality,
loyal friend. ever ready to help those
in need, a devoted wife and mother,
loved and respected by all who knew
her and her many friends hope for
her presence among them for yet some
time to come.

KAHN'S LETTER FAILS
TO IMPRESS CONGRESS
Bankers VieUs Conflict With
Lou on War Debt.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The solution
of Americas foreign debt problem pro-
posed by Otto IL. Kahn. the New York
banker, failed generally to strike re-
sponsive chord to-day in official circles
in Washington.
Members of the American Debt Fund
ing Commission took note OF Mr.. Kahn's
proposal that the United States diff
ferentiate between the seven and a half
billion dollars loaned to European coun-
tries before the armistice and the two
and a half billion dollars loaned after
hostilities ceased and arrange differing
methods of repayment. but pointed out
that the act Of Congress creating the
ferentiation even If considered advisable.
Mr.. Kahn's views drew particular fire
from Representative Frear (Wis). n
Republican member OF the House Ways
and Means Committee, who sent a letter
to Senator Smooth Of tho Debt Funding
Commission.
Mr.. Frear referred to M. Kahn's Ger
man birth. his subsequent British
naturalization and to his membership
In the Kuhn. Loeb q Co. banking firm.
and said "the frequency of his advice
for cancellation OF foreign debts in
whole or in part and the pub
licity attending his efforts to that end
suggest a propaganda tending to en-
barrass the commission and to mislead
foreign governments as TO the sentiment
In this country on the subject"

Denies Defense Society Charge
That Organization Spreads
Soviet Propaganda.

The charge made by the American
Defense Society that the Moscow Art

try under the direction of Morris Gest

was denied yesterday by Otto II. Kahn,
chairman OF the committee of patrons
OF the American season of the company.
and by the press agent who has been
travelling with the company in the capi-
tails of Western Europe.
Il sympathize with the motives and
aims of the American Defense Society,"
said Mr. Kahn, but Americanism is
not of so frail a growth that it needs
to be protected from contact with the
Moscow Art Theater. The visit of the
organization cannot, by any remote
stretch of the imagination. be connected
with Soviet propaganda. No people has
been, and is. more opposed to Bolshe-
vism than the French people. Yet. the
French Government not only permitted
the visit of the Moscow Art Theater to
Paris. but the artists composing the
troupe were treated with distinguished
Mr. Kahn said that he did not know
whether a part of the earnings of the
company is payable to the Soviet Gov
ernment but he added that even IL t1at
is true it is no different from the prac-
tice prevailing here under which the
earnings of artists are liable to income
taxation. SHOULD we cease to eat Rus
sian caviar" he asks. because the
Soviet Government derives a revenue
from its production"
The press agent, in her statement, told
Of the special investigation that the
French Government ordered when the
manager OF the theater company ap-
Piled for a French visa in Berlin. This
investigation. she said, so clearly
proved that the artists had no connec-
ton with Soviet propaganda that at q
special session of the French Council OF
Ministers permits were issued to allow
the artists to enter France as special
guests of the French Government.
Frank Gilmore, executive secretary
of the Actors Equity Association, said
last evening
'The action of the American Defense
Society In protesting to the American
tour of the Moscow Art Theater play
ers Is deeply deplored by the Actors
Equity Association. We cannot believe
that they have any political affiliation
