No Friends-Cancel Debts When
Peace Restored.

Would Forgive War Debts.
Let me tell you what think about
the debts incurred to us by the M
tions with whom we fought in the
war. l think they should be forgiven.
We could forgive them without the
slightest injuory to our credit and with
benefit to ourselves and everybody else.
Europe cannot pay us what she owes
us, and no interest of ours is to DC
furthered by perpetuating the myth
of these debts as obligations that can
be liquidated. Bus here again Ameri-
can action must wait upon European
agreement.
ITO forgive the debts while Europe
is jangling and preparing for more
war would be not only foolish Int
little short of criminal Our power rs
a creditor nation should be used. when
il is used in internati onal affairs, ID

We want tranquility. We want con-
tinuance of the fight for reduced ar
maments and their concomitants of

tegrity and political independence -
upon which ever must depend perma-

MAUPINS TO DISBAND
Popular Orchestra Will Give Fare.
well Dance Monday Night.

Rex Maupin's Texas Hotel Orches-
ira. which has created quite a sensa-
ton among dancing people of San
Antonio during the summer months,
will give their farewell dance at the
st. Anthony Hotel Roof Monday
night, September 8, when the or
chestra will 20 north for few en-
gagements prior TO disbanding.
The departure of the boys compris-
ing the orchestra will come as an
unpleasant surprise to the majority
of the dancers and patrons of the
roof as with their unusually good dance
music and pleasing personalities the
boys have scored a decided hit in
San Antonio.
But Roland Burge, manager of the
hotel, has promised the best music
that can be obtained for the winter
season.
The announcement by Rex Maupin
that the organization would disband
also proved a surprise TO many per-
sonal acquaintance. The orchestra
is well known throughout Texas and
the Central States and it was believed
that it would remain intact for sew
eral years. Several Of the musicians.
however. expressed their intention of
going back TO school while one or
two decided to drop music altogether
in favor Of some other profession.
Maupin, piano player. and Robert
Strong. however, will 90 to Chicago
and merge into another orchestra.

SWORD INTO PLOWSHARE.

To Norway goes the credit for max
ing the first successful attempt to turn
the sword into a plowshare, according
to the Biblical injunction. The battle
ship Thor. which is part OF the Nor
wegian fleet has been converted into
a mercy ship, completely equipped for
the purpose of conducting Red Cross
work. The idea back of this is to offer
TO the fishermen who sail from ports
in Norway means Of having their
physical ailments cared for under ez
merit attention. These fisher-folk cruise
thousands of miles away from their
home bases. as far north as the Arctic
circle. and they require frequently
medical attention that at the present
time is not possible for them. Espa-
cially in the northern part OF the coun-
try. too. medical service is most lin
tied and actual suffering and deati
are experienced for want of common
requirements from physicians. The
Thor is to be taken over by the Nor
wegian Red Cross and made into .
hospital ship. Thus the best trsdi
tions OF the sea will be observed anc
new area opened for wholesome use
of ships designed for the purpose d
DESTROYING mankind. The initial stei
is worthy of universal attention. thu

of Y0lio. There was no damage on
the western side of Shizioka.Y
This message was obtained by the
radio operator manager of the Tom
iakO station when communication with
the interior was cut off, getting all
information possible from the Sendai
press, translating it into English, and
then sending it through the air to the
Radio Corporations office here.
Message Latest Word.
This message is the latest word to
be received from the stricken country
since the shock came breaking all
lines of communication and causing
the world to stand aghast at the i'm
mensity Of the catastrophe as pictured
in fragmentary messages and from
technical descriptions by experts han
ding seismographs in a score of the
principal cities of the world.
The people of Toxic seem to have
been completely bewildered by the
catastrophe.
Refugees are running in all direc-
tons, the message stated.
The cities OF Asakura. Kanda, Hon.
do, Fukugawa, Shitawaya, and a
score of smaller towns have already
been attacked by thief lanes, the mes
sage from Tomioko said.
Indicating damage to railroads, the
massage said, the disaster is reported
to have overtaken several trains en-
started.
The extent of the earthquake seems
TO be roughly defined by its edge near
ing Osaka and Koba on the south.
Sendai on the porth, Shizioka on the
west and some undetermined spot at
sea on the east.
Seven hundred deaths were report
ed in the fall of twelve-story tower
at Asakusa in radio message re-
ceived by the Radio Corporation OF
America from its station at Tomioka.
The message was filed at 20 p. m.
1t read: 'Seven hundred deaths re-
ported by fall Of twelve-story tower
Asakusa. Tidal wave in bay of Sur
qua, where numerous boats sank.
Most of the houses at Numaza col
lapsed. In Toxic the imperial the
ter gave way. The railway station
at Ueno burned down.
1T is rumOred that the imperial
palace is in danger, but this is not
: certain"
The radio also mentions the impe-
rial railway in Toxic. bus the refer
ence is not clear.
1t is believed. however. that disas-
ter befell the imperial railway station.
A later message received by the
Radio Corporation reported that the
prince regent and the imperial sane
tuary had been sarc,l.
