NETTED $4,000
FOR EDUCATION

ger of Tour Announces

Washington, Dec. 21.-Former
Premier cieiaeueeuds American
visit added $4,000 TO the Ameri-
can field service fund fellowship,
Stephen Boensala, who managed
the tour, announced today. The
amount is the surplus Of money re-
ceived from lectures and newspa-
per articles by The Tiger" after
defraying the expenses Of his trip.
The wartime premier, it was eX-
planned, was unwilling to accept
financial assistance for his mis-
sion, so he accepted lecture and
writing contracts TO pay his way,
asking that any surplus be devoted
in memory of his sthdent years in.
the United States to the fellowsbips
which are intended, among other
things, to stimulate friendship be-
tween France and America through
the education in each country of
young men from the other.
The American field service was
organized and directed by Repre-
sentative A. Piatt Andrew of Mas
sachusetts, to enable young Amer
leans to do ambulance work in
France before the United States
had entered the war. 1t was in
recognition of this that NJ, Clemen-
ceau selected as the beneficiary of
his tour the American field SER
vice fund fellowships, organized
after the American field service
had been disbanded to perpetuate
the names of 1877 members by cre-
ating q number of like scholarships
to send young men of each country
to universities in the other. Only
80 have been established, however,
because the greater part of the
funds total, set at SS,500,000 re-
mains to be raised through con-
tribution.
The Tigers surplus, 1t was an
nounced, would make "Clemenceau
scholarship" available to deserv-
ing students. According to Mr..
Bonsa1, NJ. Clemenceau voiced a
desire that the young men of
France and America 'learn the
lessons of life together" He was
especially eager that French
youths should digest the precipts
of democracy through playing
football and other American
games in American institutions"

Tucson, Ariz., Dec. 81 t.--Gener-
ally current rumors that the bodies
Of Col. Francis Mrrshall and Lieut.
Charles Webber, the missing avla-
tors. had been found beside their
crashed plane at Covered Wells, IS
miles west of Tucson. on the Pa
pago Indian reservation. remained

ticity of the rumor seemed doubt
full when the report was traced to
its source,
According to Roy +. Stewart, an
Indian friend of his from Indian
Oasis. near Covered Wells, told him
last Tuesday that he had heard at
Indian Oasis tnat two other In
dams had found the plane some
time last week, but had feared to
tell white men for fear of getting
into trouble" The Indian who
brought the rumor to Tucson left
for the scene Tuesday and after
telling Stewart that he would re-
turn today or tomorrow
Stewart, who is employed at q
local electrical battery station, de-
clared tonight that he had kept the
reported finding of the wrecked
plane secret until today. due to
the desire to collect the reward, a
total of $500 having been offered
for information leading to the loca-
ton of the airmen.
The recipient of the information
instructed John Blaine, the Indian,
to search the country IN the vicin-
ity Of Covered Wells for the plane.

TO Tucson should his mission be
successful However, the redskin

Chicago, Dec. 21.--Firo this ar

street railroad station, formerly
known as the Polk street depot,
and left eight railroads homeless
in Chicago.
The building was valued at
100000, but would cost more
than $1,00O,0O0 to replace.
Within a little more than an
hour after a traffic policeman saw
smoke issuing from the roof, the
flames swept through the thirty
eight-year old brick and wood
structure, once the pride of rail-
road men, and left only a smoke
blackened brick shell behind.
Hundreds of passengers and zoo
men and women clerks fled to
safety. Mrs. Hazel Locker, aged
26, q woman clerk, tainted and
was trampled on by the wild rush
of girl clerks from the upper

her out.

by Senator Borah, republican, Of
Idaho for an international confer

cial and business problems, includ-
ing German reparations, as well as
reduction of land, sea and aerial

Senator Borah offered his plan
as an amendment to the $3.50, ,0O0,-

was reported to the senate today
for preliminary consideration to-
morrow. lie proposed that the

Grafton of land and sea armaments.
Senate leaders do not expect the

rows consideration OF the bill
These, and an amendment by Sen
ator King, democrat, Of Utah, cali
ing for a land and sea disarma-
ment conference, which is pending,

the Christmas holidays.
Senator Borah's amendment
caused general surprise, especially
in view Of his strong position in the
past in reference to American par
ticipation in European problems.
He was one of the strongest oppon-
ents of the league of nations and
treaty of Versailles, but in ms
statement today he made 1t clear
that he believed action was needed
to solve pressing economic PROB
lems affecting American trade.
German reparations, he said, were
the "key to the European situa-
tion," and he thought his proposed
conference might "break the dead
lock on that subject"
1--WE are travelling IN q VICIOUS
circle" Senator Borah declared.
I'VE enacted an emergency and,
also a permanent tariff BILL New
ertheless, the cry of distress from
the producers of the country is
even more piteous than ut any
time since the war. The farmer
can find no markets abroad for

market for his surplus products 1t
Is impossible for him to realize the
value OF that which he produces.
