that the undertaking strikes no awe

asserted he would be indicated.
Ills feelings on the subject OF I'M
Just punishment were so keen he be-
came a prison reform movement
leader. His submission to the lie
detector" is one of many efforts to
clear his record before the world.
DIR. Marston explained after the test
that budding was justified in carry
sins a gun and killing his uncle.
The first step of DIR. Marston was
to take buildings blood pressure

WIRE NEWS

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. There
will be no cancellation of the British
of other allied war loan Indebtedness
with the sanction of congress.
Forgiveness of such obligations
cannot be obtained in any other
manner. In assuming this attitude
members of congress believe the
overwhelming sentiment of the cocn-
try is antagonistic to cancellation
or remission.
The Ralfour note to the European
Allies did not arouse any adverse
comment or irritation among sena-
tors. 1t was promptly constructed as
a shrewd political move on the part
of Lloyd George. It's purpose is be
lieved to be an effort to jog up the
debtors of England and prevent ex-
travagant expenditure for other pur-
poses until the obligation is settled.
In fact, the Balfour note is generally
considered by Senators as a stiff
warning to France and an intimation
that she had better use funds now
otherwise diverted in meeting her
debts.
