TO DECIDE WHETHER
WOMEN MAY SIT ON
JURY TRYING SMALL
CBy Associated Press)

WAUKEGAN, H., April 5.-Wheth-
er women may sit on the jury to try
Governor Len Small probably will be
decided today by Judge Claire c. Ed
wards at the completion of the states
argument against the governors at
tack on the men-only jury list.
Decisions of Illinois judges that the
federal suffrage amendment does not
carry the right TO jury service; fail
ure of the Legislature last year to pass
a bill which would have extended that
right, and the opinion of Attorney
General Brundage that women do not
have the right to serve as jurors will
be cited by the state.
In the event Judge Edwards should
rule women cannot sit on the jury
there still remains the question raised
by the governor of whether their
votes should be taken into considera.
tion in compiling the jury list, which
the law provides shall include the
names of 10 per cent of the qualified
electors. The defense contends that
even if denied the right to serve, the
jury list should still consist of 10 pei
cent of the combined list of men and
women voters instead of one-tenth OF
the men only.

TEXAS RIVERS RISE;
FLOOD is FEARED IN
SEVERAL SECTIONS

DALLAS. Tex, April 5.-The rising
of virtually all rivers and creeks in
Texas today overshadowed the general
allegiance of rains over the state and
watch was being kept anxiously for
possible floods in several sections.
Territory adjacent to river beds was
inundated with possible damage to
property, crops and in one or two
cases to life.
Outstanding in concern was the rise
of the San Marcos river, this stream
being far out of bounds. The Brazos
river was reported approaching flood
stage and rising two and a half feet
an hour at Bryan. The Brazos at
Waco had arisen approximately 81
feet in "a hours.
A 131h-inch rainfall at Farmersville
sent about 25 Mexicans scurrying to
the trees in the locality where streams
overflowed from hill to hill and two
men in the act of rescuing the ma
rooned men by boat suffered an over
turn of their craft and were also ma
rooned.
According to a report by the wealth
er bureau Dallas experienced $40

LLOYD GEORGE FURRY
LEAVES PROBLEMS OF
EUROPE STILL IN AIR
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The diff
ference between the American point
of view about what needs to be done
in Europe and the Lloyd George point
of view is brought out clearly in the
latter's speech We think the founda-
ton stone, the one thing without
which no durable structure can be
built, is fixing the German reparations.
LLOYD George admits that he has prom
ised France not to bring up this ques-
ton.
We think the next thing is the re-
duction OF large armies, which waste
the substance of the nations support
ing them and keep peoples in state
of fear and worry. Lloyd George ad-
mits that this also is to be omitted.
/ AS to a third thing, the balancing of
| budgets by the European countries
which in plain words means spending
/ less than their income, as every priv
ate citizen must do Lloyd George says
| that is to be taken up. We agree that
| this is one of the essentials; but we
| think it is contingent on the other two
| things.
| Cannot Ignore Points
We don't see how Lloyd George OF
any one else at the Genoa conference
can accomplish anything on this third
point so long as the other two points
are ignored.
1t isn't possible for America to get
much food for hope out of the fact
] that Mr.. Lloyd George has partly
/ charmed and partly bullied the Brit
ish House of Commons into giving him
another lease of power.
| All it proves is what we knew be
fore, namely, that Lloyd George is the
most subtle, plausible, and successful
politician now sitting in any of the
high places of the world. He didn't
secure or ask for the affirmation of any
great principle. He didn't make the
j fight on principle. He made it on per
sonality and since he has much more
of that commodity than any other pub
lie man in England, he won readily.
Not Forward Step

mons has done nothing new, has takeI
no forward step, has indicated no fixet
policy, and doesn't give the world an,
reinsurance. All that happened i:

time when Lloyd George found him

WASHINGTON. April 5.-Private
operation of railroads promises to
solve the transportation problem if the
carriers are given "a fair chance"
Daniel Willard. president of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad, stated today be-
fore the senate interstate commerce
committee in continuing his statement
begun yesterday in reply to govern
ment ownership statements of Will
liam G.. McAdoo, former director gen
eral of railroads. Mr. Willard declared
nothing had been developed to show
that congress erred in returning the
roads to their owners.
What the railroads need more than
anything else at the present time" he
asserted. 'is an opportunity under the
terms of the Transportation Act 20

necessary and burdensome interfer.
once, and have the utmost confidence
that they will successfully surmount
their present difficulties if given a
fair chance to do so.
Il am also confident that they will
provide the people of this country
with adequate transportation at reaS-
enable rates and lower rates than are
to be found for similar service in any
other country in the world. This tie
roads did do under the faulty scheme
of regulation in effect before the war
and how much more should they be
able to do so under better and wiser
scheme of regulation now in effect .
Only to Win War.
Mr. Willard said that federal con
troll of the carriers was not desIgnSd
to test the relative advantages of pri
vate and public operation, but to hely
win the war.
ANY steps taken in that direction
during the period of federal contro
and which resulted in any name

the public or of the carrier proper
ties" he added, "were unfair, un
warranted and illegal because the.
were not justified by law
He emphasized that in 1920 aftel
termination of Federal control the
railroads carried two percent more
freight than while in charge of the
government,
contradIcts McAdoo
Contentious of Mr.. McAdoo tha
the government returned the roads
in better condition than when they
were taekn were denied by Mr.. viii
lard who said the carriers conten
tions that their condition was depre
ciated had an important bearing OF
future rates.
"The difference in standard, how
ever, great, must be made up" h
said. "and unless it is made up from
monies paid to carriers by the direc
tor general on account of under
maintenance. it will of course have It
be done with monies collected from
the people, through the medium o
transportation charges. The questio,
itself had very intimate relation
with the future basis of rates"
Mr. Willard presented detailed eV
idence in the case of the Baltimor
G. Ohio, to show that the condition
of cars, locomotives and roadwa
was not as good when federal cor
troll ended as when the line wa
taken over.

(By Associated Press)

LONDON. April 5.-The British
government has addressed a note to
the allies, declaring that, owing to the
fact that Great Britain has to pay the
interest on her debt to the United
States, she reserves to herself the
right to call upon the allies in turn to
pay the interest on their war debts
TO Great Britain.
In this connection, it is pointed out
that Great Britain is now fully pre-
pared to pay the interest due the
United States
PARIS, April 5.-The French reply
to the British note concerning pay
ment of interest on war loans by Eng
land is likely to be that the question
is bound up with that of the inter
allied debts which must be dealt with
as a whole, says the Echo de Paris,
quoting a well informed source. Piece
meal payment will only hamper the
settlement, the reply will say.
The British communication notified
France that the three years conven-
ton expiring at an early date would
not be renewed
Understood Situation
The understanding in French Off
cial circles has been that the whole
question of the interallied debts will
come up soon on the initiative OF
Great Britain, as the result of the
American funding bill requiring the
payment of interest on the debts of
the allies to the United States. AS
all of these operations are linked to-
gether, it is held in French circles
that settlement between any two
countries requires general. adjust
ment.
The British foreign office is under.
stood to have informed the French am
bassador in London that the British
government will bring the question
up, but the French foreign office de-
clared today no formal note on the
subject had yet been presented.

That the people of France are bet
ter off financially than those of Amer
lea, at the present time, is the belief
of Omer G. Murray, who recently re-
turned from four months trip
through France and other European
countries. Money is plentiful and free
spending is the rule in France, he
said
French values are reckoned more
on the American standard of value
than on the French, according to him.
Articles sold in France will be quoted
at so many francs, but the real stand
ard of value is the American dollar.
Prices are more reasonable in Italy
than in France.
Mr.. and Mrs. Omer G. Murray and
daughter, Maxine, sailed from New
York on the "Adriatic" Jan. Z, and re-
turned to this country on the "Olym-
pic arriving March 90 Miss Murray
