Inquiry at the prison this evening
was productive of no information.

that no prisoners had escaped.
A report was current here today
that irregulars in Cork had seized
the banks and all the money they

to 100000 pounds. but the report

NO Intention OF
ENGLAND TO PASS UP
DEBT TO AMERICA

London, July 14.-(By A. P.)-De-
claring that the worlds financial sit
uation was still serious but that
Great Britain was stronger financial
ly today than at any time since the
armistice Sir Robert Horne. chancel-
Tor of the exchequer, delivered an ad-
dress in the House Of Commons today
when the finance bill on its third
reading was discussed. He said that
at the present rate Of exchange Eng
lands debt to the United States
reached L93s,000,00O.
Il welcome and reciprocate the
views expressed by Mr.. Asquith.
namely, that our debt to the United
States is one Of the solemn obliga-
tons which undoubtedly we shall
meet. There is no question about
that" said Sir Robert. 1.-The request
which the United States made to us
recently to consider the funding of
the debt and to place it, as Mr.. AS
quith said, on stable and equitable
foundations is one which will be COM
pletely met. No doubt exists in any,
body's mind as to the absolute neces-
sity of our fulfilling our duty to the
very utmost"
The chancellor of the exchequer
said that the recent reduction in
Great Britain's floating debt and the
reduction of the internal debt through
conversion was the cause for increas-
ing stability in financial matters in
this country. The financial position
of the. world was serious, especially
in Austria which has been growing
steadily forse. A great change has
occurred in Germany which gave
cause for the greatest anxiety.
These matters had to be dealt with
in concert with the Allies at a very
early period of time indeed" said the
speaker They could not be DELAYED
any longer and I am sure the house
Will not desire me in the present deli
cate situation to make any precise dis
closure of what is actually going on"
Sir Robert, referring to the affairs
OF this country, concluded:
I'VE are in a stronger position than
at any time since the armistice. There
is no reason for our looking at the
present situation with any despair
l believe ways and means will be
found to avert our grave financial
perils. This country will play a very
great part in the solution of the prob
lem"
The bill passed it's third reading
