HUGE SUMS SAVED
AS ENGLAND PAYS
IN LIBERTY BONDS

NEW YORK, June 14.-Gfeat
Britain will save $1,4O0,000 tomor-
row when it pays $7O,OO0,0OO in lib
erty bonds to the United States as
the first payment Of interest and
principal on its $4,600,00O,0OO war
debt, financiers closely in touch
with Wall street said today.
The saving, it was said, will be
effected through the purchase of
the bonds by the British treasury
at an average of 2 per cent below
par, redeemed by the United States
treasury at par.
BY accepting the payment IN I'D
erty bonds, it is pointed out, the
United States government will re.
duce its own war debt by exactly
SO, 100000, as it will cancel the
bonds. Thus Great Britain's and
the United States war debts are
cut down by one stroke.
The payment is the first of the
regular series agreed upon between
the two governments last winter
The first payment under the agree
ment was made March Is. it was
of $4,128,085, and was arranged to-
round out the British figure to s4,-
60O,0O0,000, so that computation
would be easier.
Before the debt agreement was
reached two other payments were
made by Great Britain, October 16
and November Is, 1922, totalling
500, 526,979.

New Orleans Balks
AT Comic Bull Fight
Fo. sake of Charity

NEW ORLEANS, June 14.-New
Orleans usually is ready to try any
thing once hut a proposed series of
burlesque bull fights the last of this
month for the sake of charity and
troupe OF Mexican picadors,
matadors. banderilleros and other
accessories. has stirred up a hornet
nest. 4 throwing of legal bander'
illas by the promoters in an effort
to defeat the plan of the society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals
to stop the show seemed certain to-
day. The bun fighters and their
equipment arrived last night from
Mexico City, a local box fight
arenas being converted into bull
fight arena and Mexican cowboys are
Negras for bulls of the necessary
disposition.
Meantime the promoters are con-
sulting their attorneys, for the Spaca
yesterday reversed itself and for
mally advised that the proposed show
be called off. The society previous
ly had given assurance that it
would not interfere unless some
thing more than the feelings OF the
bulls was hurt.
j. NJ. Guerra, the principal pro-
motor, declares the troupe of
comic toreadors" was organized in
Mexico City two yeas ago for the
purpose of elevating the bull fight
by eliminating cruelty and turning
the affair into a burlesque, and OPP
ponents of the show here express
themselves as curious to know how
the toreadors expect to do their up
lifting by performing in the United
States. Mr.. Guerra further declares
that the work of the toredors is in
line with that of the Spaca for in
their conflict with the bull, he

Dipping Vat Movie
Melting Opposition
To War Upon Tick

WASHINGTON, June 14.-"Mollie
Of Pine Grove Vat" is winning un-
expected victories for the department
of agriculture by dispelling opposi-
ton to the dipping of cattle for the
eradication Of cattle ticks. The edu-
cational film Of that title, now tour
ing the south on a motor truck and
exhibiting in sections where a mo
ton picture has never been seen be-
fore, has not triumphed, however,
without threats of the same fate as
accorded the dipping watts in some
localities.
E. +. Pickering, tick eradication
agent OF the department of agricul-
ture in charge of the motion picture
truck, reports that in one section
where threats were made to blow up
the damn tick wagon" the opposi-
ton, mainly "a crowd of DULLES and
the local bad men," melted as the
story unfolded on the screen. The
leader, instead of carrying out the
threat, the agent said, came forward
at the close of the picture, shook
hands with him and congratulated
him. on the work.
So in other localities "Mollie of
Pine Grove Vat" has made friends

ARKANSAS FIGHTING
To KEEP FLOOD IN
HARASSED LEVEES

LITTLE ROCK, June 14.-Fore-
warned by government forecasts and
organized in every possible defense
against the menace of the flood
which heavy rains II Kansas and
Oklahoma have created, Inhabitants
of the Arkansas River Valley today
worked to repair recurring defects
in harassed levees, watched the slow
~ rising tide of muddy current, or
waited for the record crest to plunge
over the northwest border tonight
or tomorrow.
At Fort Smith, where the swollen
stream enters the state, the gauge
at last reading registered above &c
feet. In the vicinity nearly 10000
acres are under water from two
broken leeves in Crawford county,
and the promised rise of "a or IS
feet will inundate approximately an
equal area. One man is missing and
believed to be droWned-Desire Du-
bois, of Jennyland. last seen five
days ago fishing on a flooded tribu
tary of the raging Arkansas. All
others escaped to higher ground.
Residents of the low portions of
Little Rock and North Little Rock
are prepared to find their homes
threatened by backwater Sunday. A
rise of II feet was recorded here
yesterday and stage of IS feet is
predicted for Sunday.
Further south at Pine Bluff, thou
sands of sand bags have been placed
where the river walls have been
caving and where bends in the
stream made the current dangerous.
Hundreds of teams and workmen
are strengthening doubtful spots at
New Gascony where the levee will
be raised one foot over a stretch of
1900 yards. The high tide, thirty
feet, is expected Monday. The
workers around Pine Bluff report all
Jefferson county levees nearing a
condition in which they will be able
to withstand the flood.
A slight fall in the river yester-
day at points between Fort Smith
and Tulsa, Okla, was said by fed
eraI officials probably to be due to
the passage of a temporary crest
from subsidiary floods, a day or two
in advance of the principal flood
whose height may equal the record
of forty wears.
