BOTTLE FLOATS
 FOR 13 MONTHS

ST. LOUIS, March 2.-John E. Hall retired grain dealer, who, with his wifo, has been travelling about the world for the major part of the past five years, often had wondered about the tales told iby salty marin CTS of finding bottles containing the last words of sailors who were about to go to the bottom.
 He thought it would be interesting to try it-'providing he was still on the surface when the note was found.
 On June 20, 1921. Hall was aboard the steamer Niagara, bound from Sydney, Australia, to Vancouver, B. c. He and party of friends de cidad to experiment with the sea, and enclosed note in a small corked bottle, which stated that the finder would receive a check for $5 if he returned it to Hall in St. Louis.
 The bottle "shoyed off" from the Niagara between Auckland, N. E.. and Honolulu. Hall returned to St. Louis. stayed here a short time and letf for Egypt, whence he recently returned. He had just about lost faith in bot ties. oceans and salty" tales.
 Then he received a letter. It was dated November 6. 1922, and was from tho British Soloman Isles, signed by missionary in Siola.
 The missionary said the bottle and note had been found by native on the shore of the Island of Ulawa of the Solomon group, last July 30 a httle more than 13 months after it had been set adrift The 8, or "one pound ten" would be a great stroke of fortune for the native, and would not be wasted" the missionary de- clared.

UNITED STATES AMBASSADORS
 IN HOT WATER
Harvey $ Speech Arouses Dis pleasure Among Officials
 of Great Britain.

LONDON, March 2.-United States Ambassador Ha1vey's speech at the dinner given by the Pilgrims, has evoked an expression of displeasure in British circles and gives indica- tion of causing considerable discus sion.
 British officials apparently take the position the American Ambassa- dor challenged the government to issue fl. statement repudiating Bal tours 4iote.
 This is characterized as most un- usual for an envoy.
 Ambassador Harvey, in his speech declared that Great Britain had not been asked guarantee and never did guarantee a single dollar loaned by the United States for the use of any other country than Great Bri- tain herself.
 The statement wac construed as a reply to the Balfour note of last August. which said:
 Under the agreement arrived at, the United States insisted, in sub stance if not in form, that the Allies could spend money only on Great Britain's security and on these terms, the United States was pre- pared to lend it."
