y ERMANY has been declared, by
" the reparations commission, to be
in voluntary default in part of her rep
arations payments, namely the wood
deliveries due in 1922. This in itself
doesn't seem to be of great Importance,
but the action of the commission rep
resents a decided victory for France,
which has c~ontended for a long time
that Germany could be placed in volun-
tary default by a majority vote Of the
commission. Great Britain, holding the
opposing view, had been supported by
Belgium and Italy, but is now deserted
by them on this issue and her repre-
sentative cast the only vote against the
action. MuSsolini appears to have
swung to the French side in The repara-
tions dispute, and it may be that in
the session of the allied premiers in
Paris this week he and Theunis of
Belgium will stand with P~oincare, leav-
ing Bonar Law alone in his effort to
restrain the French from taking rad
ical steps tt collect from Germany.
More than 60 per cent of Germany's
wood deliveries were made, but she
said she could do no more and that
the deliveries for 1923 must be greatly
reduced. She also she can
not deliver the 10000 tons of pure
nitrogen due on Preparations account
because the German production of this
commodity is already far below domes-
tic requirements.
France, according to semi-official
exacts forfeits from Germany she faces
absolute ruin, and consequently she in
tends to get the forfeits, even IL pay
ment in full cannot be obtained. How
ever. NJ. Poincare does not now intend
to seize the Ruhr valley by force of
arms. His present plan is to send in
customs officials to collect revenues
and in this way wiring reparatlons from
SHINES and the other rich Industrial
lists whose resources the German gov
eminent has SO far refused to draw
upon. These magnates have steadily
opposed all plans for payment of war
obligations. and at the same time have
been piling up vast fortunes in a coun-
try that claims to be poverty stricken
and starving. Naturally the French
are bitter against them, and naturally,
too, France cannot stomach the British
policy which calls mainly for gentle
treatment of Germany so that British
trade may benefit.
While Poincare's program does not
involve a military invasion of the Ruhr,
it provides for the use of the army
to protect the civilian officials to be
sent into that region. Judging by the
past. such protection will be necessary.

NJ ton to the United States which

of President Harding. 1t is that our

T OUISIANA'S great sensation-the
IL murder of two men by a masked
mob, the finding of their decapitated
bodies and the arrest of a former dep
uty sheriff and a former mayor of the
town of Mer ~Rouge-begins to look like
a tempest in a teapot. So far no evil
dence has been made public that proves
the crime was committed by the Ku
Klux Khan, and though the Khan is
strong in that part of the state, there
does not appear, at this distance, to be
any real need of the state troops which
were called out by Governor Parker.
The bodies were brought to the surface
Of Lake La Fourche by a mysterious
dynamite explosion whose authors have
been sought by state and federal au-
thorities. The former mayor of Mer
Rouge, DR.. B. NJ. McKoin, was arrested
in Baltimore and charged with muir
der. He denies guilty knowledge of
the crime and also denies having been
a member of the Khan, though he de-
tends its activities in his town. Both
McKoin and the Khan were avowed
enemies Of the bootleggers and moon
sinners who flourished in that part of
Louisiana, and this fact explains much
of the row.

VIII any ledSuG W plSSSl pSdNS'
CENATOR BORAH'S resolution for
~ a world conference on economics
and ornaments, alluded to at the head
of the column, not only has caused a
lot of discussion in Washington, but
also has disrupted the young alliance
between the farm and radical blocs in
congress. The Idaho senator has
seemingly broken away from the group
of "irreconcilables'' and Johnson of
California already has loudly an
nounced his opposition to the Borah
plan. He says: "An economic par
ley, Of necessity, must consider not
only present conditions in Europe but
the debts due to us, and, of course, the
Preparations due from Germany. Were
we to invite the interested nations to
discuss these subjects in order to ar
rive at understandings and agreements,
with a mental reservation to take no
part in the ultimate solution, we would
be guilty of a species of bad faith, of
which America has never been guilty
and which Americans never car toll
crate.
IF we bring the nations Of the
earth here to Washington for such a
conference we'll dump into Americas
lap the economic ills of Europe and
the PREPARATIONS muddle. If, officially,
we sit down with the other nations
who meet at our invitation, and reach
an understanding and agreement, we
are in honor bound to carry out and
execute that agreement, and the very
instant we undertake to carry out an
agreement to enforce Preparations, that
instant we abandon the traditional
policy of America. We become a part
Of the European scheme of things and
we enter upon that course from which
we have so recently escaped and which
our people so overwhelmingly repudi-
ated."
Mr.. Borah insists there is nothing
inconsistent in his program, maintain
ing that it is up to the United States to
point a way to stability and peace in
Europe but that it is not necessary
for this nation to enter into pledges tt
carry out agreements.
Because the Borah plan looks to the
restoration of the European market
for American agricultural products, it
is regarded with favor by the members
of the farm bloc.

CONTROL of the Mosul oil fields
" may yet wreck the Lausanne
peace conference. Ismet Pasha noti-
fed the British delegates that Turkey
would maintain her claim to ownership
Of the Mosul vilayet and could not
accept the British contention that it is
a part of Iraq and therefore of MeSo-
potamia over which there is a British
mandate. In reply Marquis Curzon in
formed the Turks that Great Britain
never would abandon the Mosul villa
vet and that no p~rOlOngation of the
conference would influence the British
government to recede from its position
in this matter. Lord Curzon said the
British had expelled the Turks from
the Mosul region and had occupied
and administered it; that they had
promised to free the Arabs from Turk
'sh rule and to establish the govern
ment of Iraq, and had given their SOL
emn pledge that no foreign power
should be allowed to take any of this
territory. To these pledges, he said,
Britain would steadfastly adhere. Lord
Curzon, however, agreed to have Brit
ish experts meet with Turkish experts
to define the northern boundary of
Iraq.
This statement by Marquis Curzon is
too flat to be taken as a bluff, and it
seems certain that if the Turks do not
wish TO have the conference break up
they must yield.

Moslem minorities in Turkey shall en-

1t is argued this agreement would guar

Germany and enable her to reduce her
big standing army, and also would
guarantee Germany against further
seizure of territory by the French.
President Harding and Secretary of
State Hughes are disposed to move
very carefully in matters relating to

which the nations will agree to consult

IF SKIN BREAKS

Just the moment you apply
Mentho-Sulphur to an itching,
burning or broken out skin, the
itching stops and healing begins,
says a noted skin specialist. This
sulphur preparation, made into a
pleasant cold cream, gives such
quick relief, even to fiery ecg-
ema, that nothing has ever been
found to take it's place.
Because of its germ destroying
properties, it quickly subdues the
itching, cools the irritation and
heals the eczema right up, leav-
ing a clear, smooth skin in place
of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples
or roughness.
