Wool Importing
Countries Back
To Pre-war Days

WASHINGTON, Feb. e.--Many of
the wool importing countries OF the
world have regained normal pre-war
consuming bases and are converting
raw stocks into finished goods at
almost pre-war rate. the department
OF agriculture announced today. The
supply in the principal consuming
countries lis less than has been re-
corded for some time" it was an
nouf1ced, and is insufficient to meet
present demand" their inability to
obtain stocks being sscribed by the
department to the unsettled econ
on1ic conditions throughout the
world"
'In the United States" the de-
partment's statement said. stocks
are probably lighter than in a de-
cade. Stocks of fine wool, for which
consumers continue to show a pref
erence despite higher prices, are ex-
ceedingly light. Manufacturers are
operating about on a normal basis
as indicated by the monthly rate of
consumtion and an enumeration Of
active and idle wool textile ma
chinery."
Stocks in Great Britain, France
and Germany" the statement added,
ARE also estimated as lighter than
at any time during the past ten
years and mills are running to cap
acity."
The department pointed out that
az the demand for woods increased
after 1918, world productiop was not
increased in the same proportion
"and the present sheep population
of the world is only about 90 per
cent of the 1913 sheep population"
Production in the United States
exclusive of pulled wool, was said
TO have decreased from $4,000. 900
pounds in 1919 to 224,oOO.0o0 pounds
in 1921.

bankers were urging cancellation of
the allied debts in theory that they

ment loans now held by private in
Vestors in this country" Mr.. Lamont
said, that it may be of advantage to
throw some light on the situation.
"Of the total amount of these al

ZURICH, Switzerland. Feb. 90. -
No definite arrangements as to the
time or place will be made for the
marriage of~AIax Oser and Miss Ma
thilde Mccormick until Harold i.
McCormicK and his daughter come
to Switzerland, according to a state
ment made by Mr.. Oser to The AS

that the best plan would be TO have
two homes, one in America and one
in Switzerland, thus both could keep
the home ties and old friends.
Il was never a dowery hunter"
said the Swiss riding master. Our
romance began with mutual respect
and friendship. When the question
of eventual marriage arose. I gave
Mathilde every liberty: l told her to
go into the world and make new
friends and see life; then il she still
wanted me. was always here.
'Mathilde returned last autumn
and said she could do nothing with
young men: she preferred older men
and men of knowledge, with whom
she could talk sense. and discuss
serious subjects and problems"
Mathilde informed her father OF
this last year.
Taking Mathilde's photograph, Os-
car exclaimed:
Look; both physically and men
tally Mathilde is more developed than
her age. We have many tastes in
common; both like sports, art. archi-
lecture, literature, languages and
above all home life. BY the way
We speak the Swiss dialect-German
between ourselves"
Mr.. Oser took occasion TO deny
reports of John d. Rockefeller's con-
sent, or the offer Of highly re-
situation in America.
He said he would like to become
an American, but added:
Il cannot wait the number of years
required by American laws; that
would be asking too much of mortal
man"
II think both of us prefer modest |
wedding in Switzerland to an elab- |
orate affair in America. but that can |
be arranged"
Oser is of athletic build. with |
strong face. He wears a closely /
cropped moustache, has pleasant /
