BRITISH NOTE
DRAWS FIRE Of
SENATOR bORAH
Idaho Member Assails Sug-
gestion For, Cancellation
of War Obligations
MUST DISARM FIRST
Declares That Cancellation of
Debt Would Aid and Abet
European War Interests

WASHINGTON, Aug, 3.-Great Brit
aims suggestion for cancellation of war
debts drew sharp attack today from
Senator Borah of Idaho, Republican
member fthe senate foreign rela-
tions committee and leader of the SEN
ate, ''irreconcilable" wing who issued
statement declaring emphatically
that any debt remuneration would have
to be preceded by European disarma-
ment. Senator Borah said the Balfour
note to the allied nations, which has
been construed in some quarters as
containing such a suggestion, really
was intended for the United States.
The American people could never
be greatly interested in any proposal
for the cancellation of any part of the
debtto the United States unless the
proposition is accompanied by a def
mite and specific plan supported by
certain guarantees for practical dis
armament, both by land and sea- Sen
ator Borah asserted, adding that the
disarmament program of the washing
ton arms conference had been halted
and crushed"
Assuming, for the purpose of this
statement he said. that there will
come time when the United States
will consider the proposition of can
ceiling a part. or all of the foreign
debt, take it that that time will never
come during the program as now sug-
gested. There is one thing in all
this discussion from abroad, relative
to cancelling the foreign debt; which
is never mentioned and that is the
subject Of disarmament.
There is nothing to he gained by
our canccllng this debt, OF any part
of it, if tie gigantic military and arm
ament programs in Europe are to con-
tinue. 1t wcnld amount, in pratcial
effect, TO our aiding and abetting the
building up OF these great military
and armament establishments and
thereby abetting war. If cancellation
is to be considered at all, it should be
considered in the interest of humanity
of economic sanity.
ANY scheme for the cancellation
of debts, which does not disclose be-
yond question that it will result in
reducing the land and sea forces is not
in the interest of peace, but in the in
terest of war and not in the interest
of humanity, but in the interest of
murder"

gram received by officials tonight
purporting to be from his mother,
Mrs. G. F.. Umstead of Collingsdale,
Penna., suburb of Philadelphia.
"There must be some mistake some
where. Henry was never in the ar
N.Y." said the message.
Bisbee and Nogales physicians have
pronounced Umstead mentally unbal-
anced as a result, according to his
own story, of having been shell-shock-
ed and gassed overseas.
The telegram served to complicate
matters as arrangements already had
been made by T. w. Bent of Tucson,
contact representative of the United
States veterans bureau, who is here,
to have Umstead removed to a veter-
ans hospital for treatment Umstead
says he was first lieutenant in Com
pany "B', 112th Regiment, Twenty

produce his discharge papers.
If it is proven that Umstead was
not in the army, he will be prosecuted
on the check charge or an attempt

Ell PASO, Tex, Aug. 3-"Bandits

today in Juarez by General F. r. Ser.

Angeles with his mother, who is going
to the Pacific coast for her health.

Not so many years ago, the secre.

OF his time directing the movement
OF troops chasing bandit and revolu.
tionary bands. Not so today.
Conditions in Mexico are quiet"

present force of $1,000 men will be
retained, divided into $50 corps OF in
fantry, 60 regiments of infantry and
10 artillery regiments.
Reduction in the cost of operating

having practically no effect upon
the ability of the carriers to render
adequate freight and passenger SER

"The fact that practically all of the
western roads have been able to
meet their traffic demands, has re-
suited in the careful selection of
new employees" the statement con-

those men who give satisfactory in
dications Of becoming permanent and
useful employees"

HARPS
ON INTENTION
TO REPAY ]. s.
Leaders Avoid Saying Any
thing Embarrassing to
Allied Conference

LONDON, Aug. 3.-(By the Asso-
ciated ess)-Today's debate in the
house of commons on interallied debts
and German reparatiops proved disap-
pointing. 1t has been expected the
debate would bring out further inter
esting facts respecting the recent
note of the Earl of Balfour on the sub
ject and regarding Great Britain's fut-
ure policy on the whole subject OF in
ternational obligations.
1t was apparent that Premier Lloyd
George, Chancellor of the Exchequer
Horne Herbert H. Asquith. one OF the
liberal leaders and other speakers
made a studied effort to say nothing
which would embarrass open and i'm
partial discussion of the subject at
next important meeting in London be-
tween the allied leaders.
During the five hour debate there
was constant reiteration of Great Bri-
tain's intent to repay her debt to the
United States, but no pains were spar
ed to make clearly apparent Great
Britain's sacrifices in the war, her
generous post-armistice attitude and
her staggering burdens of taxation.
Sir Robert S. Horne. the chancellor
of the exchequer. said Great Britain
had no intention OF suggesting any
alteration of her financial obligations
to the United States: that the gov
ernmant recognized to the full Great
Britain's obligations to pay the debt.
land we do not mean in any shape or
form to evade that obligation"
Mr.. Asquith won mild appreciation
from one side of the house by declar-
ing the Balfour note impolitic and in
opportune. but said he hoped subse-
quent events would prove the contra
ry. Laughter greeted his statement
that the United States knew Great
Britain was dealing in paper figures
when she emphasized the enormous
extent 3of Europe's obligations.
Mr.. Lloyd George replied to Mr..
Asquith. whose remarks he character
lied as unfortunate. Declaring there
was an absence of any concrete sug-
gestioIs of a better formula than al
ready had been adopted, for solution
of the debts and reparations question
the premier called attention to Mr..
Asquith's desire for clean slate. He
said that was exactly what Lord Bal
four's note had advocated.
