4 WAY to Finance the War

The Committee of AE erican Busi-
ness men gave out today letter
written by Otto H. Kahni to Senator
Reed Sloot, member of the. Dept
Refunding Commission. in which the
banker offers plan whereby, IN his
opinion, America can consistently
aid toward relieving the BurOpeon sit
uation and at the same time meet the
sentiment of theconutry which appears
opposed to the cancellation of the AL
lied Indebtedness to the o. 3. Gov
erument. He suggests practical
means for sffecting a compromise be-
tween the European and American
point Of view and shows how, without
taking upon itself the obligations and
envolvements" ofthe League of Nations
and without sntangling itself in the
political affairs of Europe, America
can take her part In helping In the
solution Of European problems.
Mr.. Kahn says:
The blight OF those baneful and ill
omened instruments, the peace treaties
of 1919, liessupon all Europe.
Grossly faulty from the economic,
political and ethical point of view they
have been the cause of incessant trouble
Of ever recurring crises. So little were
these treaties conconant with the
realities that from the day of their
promul cation to this day they have
bsen continuous objects of heated
controversy, of readjustment, of
interpretations, of conferences, of
haggling and whiting down.

HE was already married when took
proceedings against him, but I don't
think it was very happy marriage; his
wife took care to see that a good deal
of the punishment he so well deserved
was carried out Later on, also heard
that he had much trouble ia managing
his large property, after he had been
obliged to take out so much capital. All,
we'll, that's his own lookout; we have,
thank God, something else to talk about
than that scoundrel One thing, however,
forgot to mention, is, that when Davis
was forced to pay me back half the
money, took the black diamond in
its present setting, the one we call the
tortoise | took that over Tor $4,000,
which would be about its value in its un-
cut condition We found it, just as it
is, up in Solomon's mines. It was the
only one of the diamonds that Davis had
not sold"

1t was not possible to get your father,

With the exception Of Mr.. Howell, we

tell it. But ] am anxious that those who
stand nearest to me in the world should

Mr. Howell smiled, somewhat en-
barrassed "Yes, of course, have heard
the story from my father two or three
times. But you can understand he did
not lay SO much stress upon the help he
gave you. 1t was no more, he said,

SHIPPING BOARD WILL MAKE INVESTIGATION
 OF TERMINAL CHARGES
Commission Will Decide Upon Rail Rates At
 Ports

MOBILE, Ala, April 1e.-tSpecial Leased Wire.)-The United States Shipping Board has requested the Tn terstate commerce commission to continue it's investigation of port ter minal charges and extend it to in- clude the north Atlantic, and any other ports of the country necessary to make it complete and compre- hensive survey. according to notice received by the traffic department of the Mobile Chamber of Commerce today. The interstate commerce commission has taken the matter un- der consideration and decision will be given soon it is expected.
 This matter is of great interest to Mobile in that local interest parti- cipated in the hearing held in this city some time ago and that the Alabama Harbor commission sent W. H. Armbrecht. local attorney to Washington to represent it in the oral arguments before the ruling was given.
 One of the main matters under consideration is whether railroads should be forced to separate their port terminal charges from the rail hauls. It is contended by municipaI- ities and owners of private docks that the railroads are able by ab- sorbing the port handling charges to keep down competition of the prl- vate and public docks,
 The shipping board, in its request also asks that the investigation be extended to deal with the right of the shipper in any nari or the country to say which steamship line shall handle his freight regardless of what railroad hauls it to seaport.

CONFUSION RE E|GNS AS ]. A. R.'S ELECT
 GENERAL OFFICERS
Police Officers Called To Aid In Preserving
 Order
ANDREW !. VOLSTEAD

WASHINGTON, April 19.-With delegates worked up to a high pitch as a result of the bitter contest waged in connection with the selec- tion of new president general bal lots were cast today in the Daughters of the American Revolutions trien- nial election of officers. Long lines of women filed past the tellers throughout the day Voting was still in progress tonight with some uncertainty as to when the result would be announced. ~
 Three candidates originally were in the field to succeed Mrs. George Maynard Miner, as president general but the unexpected withdrawal of Mrs. William Cummings Story of New York announced last night, imme- diately after she had been nominated, narrowed the nominees to Mrs An thony Wayne Cook of Pennsylvania and Mrs. G. Wallace w. Hanger of Washington. The action of Mrs. Story who declared she withdrew because of some campaign tactics resorted to in connection with the election. served to intensity feeling.
 Confusion became so great during the voting today that police officers and firemen stationed at the hall took hand in strengthening out the lines and in preserving order. A number of the delegates were re- ported on the verge of hysteria, ex- citement in connection with the bal loting proving too much for them.
 The officers elected will serve for three years.
 The counting of ballots had not been completed when the night ses- sion adjourned and announcement was made that the result of the elec- tion would be made known tomorrow.
