 Hits at K. K.K.

Springfield, H., Oct. 1O.-Profes- sionalism in college sports was at. tackled by John J. Tigert, United States commissioner of education in an address here last night before the tenth recreation congress.
 He denounced the present system of competitive athletics in schools and colleges and the edifcation by Ameri- cans Of the god of winning.
 The evil of professionalizaton of the colleges is reaching the schools" !" said MT. Tigert, and I am not pre- pared to point to a single college that is not subsidizing its athletes or in which the president is not winking at it. Boys are being debauched and the devotees to the god of winning in the colleges and alumni associations are largely responsible for the con- dition."
 Prof. John Smith of Berea college, Kentucky. attacked the Ku Klux Klan. "Deny big, he men recreation and they creep into the K. K. K" said Prof. Smith. He denounced the klan as the most mercenary and merciless organization in this country"
 Where there is no recreation the other states grow wild with emotional religion. Insanity and sexual inn are direct results tof the absence of play in the rural regions" Prof. Smith said. When there is no the race degeneratcs. It is as important to play as to pray

 At present approximately fe,ooe men are in vocational training under the veterans bureau" he said, "Aps proximately io per cent or less than so.oo0 are being qualified for employ ment in the trades and industries. As completion of their training in the various courses will occur at different times. there will he no disturbance in the ordinary distribution of labor by the assimilation of these men and no danger Of oyer-erowding in a single occupation"
 Declaring these men had stood the aeid test of citizenship in serving their country in the time of national emergency, he said that any action taken by the federation towards ad- mission Of the qualified veterans could In no way be regarded as precedent upon which to base similar action by any other group.
 Tt is interesting to note" he said that since the first of March. when the campaign of employment was started, tho men then in training on the government payroll numbered 33.000 and that on October 1 this number had been reduced to 73.oo0: and 1t is gratifying to know that 9sl per cent of these or approximately 19.600 have been successfully placed in employment. Were we to measure this as a matter of economy alone, the achievement would result in the reduction of the government expenses in over three million dollars per month."

FOUR SHIPS IN TROUBLE
 OFF SAN FRANCISCO PORT
Two Freightcrs and Two Tugs Report Trouble. Ono of Latter Being
 on Fire in Hold

San Francisco, Oct. 10.--Four ships are in trouble off this port, two of them freighters and two tugs.
 The steamer Stanley Dollar owned by Robert Dollar Co. has a fire in her No. 3 hold, six hundred miles west of this port, and having refused offers of assistance has turned steam into the hold and is rushing back here.
 After being aground on Frederick Island, British Columbia, near the Charlotte Islands for more than 24 hours the motorship Kennecott re- ported early today that no vessel had gotten in touch with her.
 Tugs will leave here to rescue the tugs Dolly c. and Equator, which are aground in shallow water in Neah bay at the mouth of the Quillayute river near the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The Equator is reported badly damaged, but the Dolly c. is reported not in immedi- ate danger.
 The Stanley Dollar of 4,171 tons, is the second of the Dollar fleet to re- bort fire within week. The Diana Dollar caught fire off San Pedro. Calif., several days ago and suffered damages estimated at $500, ,000.

Says Debt Settlement With

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

PARIS, July 21.-"France has never
dreamed of repudiating her signature.
but she is sure her allies will under
stand that so long as she has received
nothing from Germany. it is impossi-
Bile for her to make any reimburse
ment"
This is what Count de Lasteyrie.
the minister of finance in the Poin-
care government, told the writer in an
intimate interview on the possibility
of France beginning payments on the
$4,000, 100000 she owes the United
States.
The minister of finance. expressed
gratitude that America had recognized
the difficulty of the financial situation
and had not pressed for payment.
The writer pointed out that in the
United States many people had taken
seriously the statement of NJ. Louch-
eur. the former minister. who had
said that France would not pay the
debt to America. To this Lasteyrie
replied that Loucheur gave a personal
opinion when he was no longer in an
official position, and that at no time
had any official made such a predic-
ton.

Depends on Germany.


Lasteyrie reviewed in detail the proc
ess whereby France had consolidated
her internal debt in the last five years
and insisted that the question of what
France could pay America-indeed.
the question of when she could begin
to reduce her internal debt-was en-
tirely dependent upon what Germany
would pay and when.
Incidentally the French at this
very moment have reached an i'm
passe in handling their finances
hich strikingly illustrates the gem
eral reparations situation and aon-
firms the impression that a settle
ment can not be delayed beyond next
fall.
In yesterdays dispatch, for exam
pie. this correspondent outlined the
assets and liabilities of France. and
then pointed out another three and
half billion dollars must be raised
TO finish the reconstruction of houses
and factories in devastated areas
This already has been voted and the
French government now must find
a way to develop necessary revenues.
Shall it be by another internal loan?
The answer is that. the interest rate
offered to the investors on govern
ment loans to make them attractive
already has reached 61s per cent.
VIII the French continue to buy
bonds when nothing appears to be
forthcoming from Germany?
CruN OF PrObiem.
1t was at this point that Lasteyrie
shrugged his shoulders characteris-
tically and said:
You have put your finger on the
crux of the whole problem
The truth is, the entire French
fiscal system has been for five years
predicated on the idea of Germanys
paying something. The beginning of
payments would therefore help the
French out of a critical situation,
and that is why reparations settle
ment, which included a loan by pri-
vate bankers to the German govern
ment with which to pay France,
would go long way toward mellow
ing opinion here.
sacrifice must France make to get
cash quickly. Her people would, of
course. rather buy another issue of
cal reduction of German indebtedness.
There is room for a compromise just
now because there is in France at
least the will to settle. Whatever
France and Great Britain agree upon,
Germany would be obliged to accept,
and probably will. France owes
Great Britain $3,O00,O 100000, and in
terest thereon would be helpful to
Great Britain in paying America. The
idea of England playing lone hand
in the situation is not taken as a
serious threat, because of the invita-
ton it gives Germany to repudiate her
obligations.

or payment on the principal from
