ENGLISH BANKER TELLS AM.
ER1cAN ASSOcIATION-ENG-
LAND ONLY FOREIGN ABLE
TO PAY AND WILL DO SO SAYS
McKENNA.

New York, Ort. 5.-Definite post
fponement of any payment of the
: debts owed the United States by Eu-
ropean nations, with the exception
lof England, until the actual amount
which such nations could ultimately
nav. has been determined by confer
encs between the creditor and the
debtors, was suggested by the Right
Honorable Reginald McKenna, for
1ner chancellor of the British ex-
chequer, in an address before the
American Bankers association con-
vention here today.
Mr.. McKenna also gave as MS
opinion that Germany might be able
Ito nay as reparations in the inmed-
iase future about on billion dollars
derived from her foreign balances
(and the sale o foreign securities.
3Sueh a payment he asserted, would
only be possible if all other demands
4are postponed for period, long
enough to stabilize the mark. Future
demands at the expiration of that
period, he said must be limited to
the annual amount of Germany's ex-
portable surplus at that time.
The speaker, who is chairman OF
the london Joint City and Midland
Ltd, said to be the largest bank in
Great Britain, gave his views on the
economic aspects of reparations and
international debts, how they are
playable the general capacity OF a
debtor country to pay and the effect
Of payment.
sTf I have become convinced ne
said, +'that any attempt to enforce
payment beyond the debtors ability
is injurious to the international
trade of the whole world, lowec wag-
es, reduces profits and is an indirect
cause of unemployment the con-
c}usion is founded solely on e:onom-
ic grounds and is un1nfluenced by
any political consideration and re-
gard to the moral obligations Of the
debtors"
He argued that England has the
capacity to pay her debt to the Unit
en- States and he continued, 81 can
unhestaingly assert her determine
tion to honor her bono in full"
The remaining international debts
he stated, should be considered as
ones in which the United States and
England are equally concerned and
D. in which both have the same interest
as creditors.
The Versailles experts who tigur-
ed that Germany could pay 10000,
900 dollars in reparations over es-
tinrated her capacity, he asserted.
Frances external debt, he said, is
for too great in relation to interna>
tional trade possibilities and viewed
from the standpoint Of the 1914
Il the more endeavor of France to ex>
tend her foreign sales to the requlr-
ed degree would disorganize the
trade of the world.
"The inevitable conclusion is" he
said "that these international debts
are far to great for the capacity OF
any of the debtor countries except
England, She alone in her accumula-
ted foreign investments has ade-
ouate resources with which to dis
change her liability to the United
States.

COMMITTEES GIVE
REPORTS OF SYNOD
Review of Years Work by Presby.
Resolu-
ton Brings Debate


Chester, Oct. 5-The annual synod
of Presbyterian church of South Car
olina, which has been in session at
Chester since Tuesday, came to q
close at very late hour tonight.
From every angle it was pronounced
the most notable and constructive
synod ever held in South Carolina
In point of attendance all former
records were eclipsed. Delegates will
leave for home tomorrow morning. A
committee was appointed to select
the next meeting place. BY working
hard each day and far into the night,
a large amount of work was accom-
plished by this synod, work that will
mean much towards advancing Pres
byterianism in the state.
Tonight's session opened with a
conference on Christian education
The Rev. Alexander Martin, D. D., OF
Rock Hill presided. .
The Rev. L. Ross Lynn, president
of Thornwell orphanage at Clinton,
told of training of the 355 inmates.
DR.. Dawson M. Douglas, president
of the Presbyterian College of South
Carolina, told of the work Of that
institution and said the matricula-
ton there this fall was 1877.
DR.. j. B. Green spoke in behalf OF
the Columbia Theological seminary,
in which he is professor of theology.
DR.. S. C. Byrd, president of Chi
cora College for Women, spoke in
the interest of Christian education
and specifically of the work of the
college. .
The Rev. G. G. Mayes of Winns-
boro was reelected editor of the
synod's publication, Presbyterian
Progress, and the Rev. ]. M. Holla-
day of Marion, business manager.
The synod expressed much sorrow
over losing the Rev. w. E. Davis,
who has been preaching at Clemson
College and. who goes to Staunton,
Va.
The Rev. Melton Clark, D. D., of
Columbia made the report on, the
81, 100000 campaign fund.
In the report on local home mis-
sions it was shown that, despite the
depressed financial conditions pre-
vailing in the state during the past
year, the local home missions COM
mittee was able to report a larger
work done than ever before.
Probably the most interesting
question discussed at the synod was
that launched by the Rev. w. M
McPheeters, D. D., of Columbia
Theological seminary in the follow.
ing resolution:
"That synod take this opportu'
nifty to caution those charged with
the training of its girls and young
women and those having the over
sight of our young peoples work
that they zealously guard against
training our young women for ac'
tivities in His church to which Goo
in His word has not called them"
After an enthusiastic debate, in
which one speaker stated that he
thought women should have the same
privileges in church activities as she
has in politics, DR.. McPheeters' res
olution won by decisive majority.

the low sweep Of mountain and for

behind that mountain. She would
go home.
Gay with the promise of Caring
toms prediction, he-set forth on his
quest. He worked at first in thor
ough and scientific manner. But he
did not find her. Then he hunted
with a breathless fury. following
down every trivial possibility, every
idle conjecture. Twice he wrote Car
rington, and twice he tore up the
letter.
Late one afternoon he approached
the Emporium Of the town OF La
Marque, Minnesota. La Marque is not
handsome, even in SUMNER huddle
of Imprinted shacks, a crooked street
and a ragged, wind-burned phalanx
of screaming Bohemian children. In
front of the store lounged a half
breed Canadian and q limping, flea
bitten dog.
Your store?" said Reynolds.
The follow nodded.

The proprietor shufied inside. and
Wayne followed. With a startled
gasp of establishment he stopped and
pointed. .

"what?"
That hatrack"
The Canadian shrugged his shoul-
ders. "one young Teddy bring 1t to
me in a cart and take away sugar and

Never mind the tobacco" Wayne
ordered. II want that hatrack. Now,
where does she Hve-the young lady?
The shopkeeper shrugged his shoul-
ders. He could not be sure. Maybe
the children could help him.

I Accompanied by his wild troupe Of
bandits, Reynolds started. At the
fork of the road all his party broke
into screaming Bohemian. There. in

there, the lady who brought down
the hatrack.

"Here" he said. and a score of coins
flashed in the sun and splashed into
the red dust Of the road. In the
scramble that followed his escape
was effective If not altogether dig

A T the front step of the cabin he
4 stopped sharply and listened.
"Glory" he finally ventured. Miss
Reilly!"
There were footsteps inside. and
the door opened. She wore a dress of
blue cotton and her arms were bare
to the elbow. She seemed older now,
and more slender, and her eyes
burned like sapphires against the
wind stained bronze of her cheeks.
For a long moment they looked at
each other. Then she smiled, little
shyly.

claimed. II thought maybe you'd be

and his hands caught her shoulders.
She seemed very young to him then
and very valiant. II don't deserve to

Into her eyes came that soft look

love is close to them. ''oh, my dear"
she answered softly. Il think I've
