HARVEY'S
BRITISH DEBT
STORY
Foreign Office Chiefs Declare
Loans From America Were
for France and Italy.

LONDON. Mar. Foreign office
officials today refused to comment
upon the statement of George Har-
vey, American Ambassador to Eng
land, that England borrowed money
from the United States for herself
and not for her allies. They said
that they did not want to get into
any controversy, now that the An
glo-American debt issue is settled.
Ambassador Harvey's declaration
was contained in a speech made be-
fore the Pilgrims Society. British
officials informally pointed out that
n 1917 Great Britain suggested that
il the United States would finance
France and Italy the British would
borrow no more money from Amer
lea. The United States refused.
England continued to borrow
from America, relending the money
to the allies, it was said by British
officials.
Furthermore, it was pointed out
that an official memorandum on
the subject had been prepared by
Sir Basil Blackett of the British
Treasury Department, and made
public.

NEW YORK, March 1.-Prince
Dmitry Alexandrovitch Obelenski,
scion Of one of the oldest Russian
families, today laughed at death.
Having escaped <the hands of the
bolshevists and come to America to
earn his living, the prince revealed
today that his enemies had pursued
him. Following many threats made
in broken English by telephone, he
received a letter informing him that
he was a ''tyrant" and that he mus.
leave America within five days or
forfeit his life.
The letter to the prince, whose
mother was a Romanoff, and whose
family dates back twelve centuries,
reads:
THE Tyrant:
It'll now we have been silent, but
in America, as in Russia, you have
gone too far, and our eyes are on you.

to the bolshevists. They know /

Russia now have the nucleus of an
army in the Balkans, and all they
need to recapture the country is
money and supplies"
