Policemen Get Money to Prevent
Being Imprisoned by French.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 2.-The German
government has been paying hnes as
signed by French court-martial
against Essen policemen. in order to
expedite their release from prison.
says a dispatch to the Vossische Eel
tung.
Prison sentences and hnes ranging
from $4,000 marks to hundreds Of
thousands of marks have been i'm
posed on many policemen for obey
ing the orders of the federal minister
of the interior not to salute French
and Belgian officers, the dispatch says.
The sentences, according to the cor
respondent, provided that unless the
flnes were paid within forty-eight
hours the terms of imprisonment
would be extended, and thus nothing

practical effect of the financial trans
actions undertaken after America en-
tered tho war was that Great Britain
borrowed from the United States
abou. the same amount that was lent
thereafter TO the continental powers
the British wish to mako is that II
they had not had to support the con-
tinental allies there would have been
no need Of financial assistance from
America. The idea is that Great Brit
ain borrowed for an altruistic purpose
not for herself, but for others, and
that hence the money she had just
agreed to pay back to America is.
after all, money that she lent to the
other allies, but probably Will never
collect.
There is a theory held in official
circles here that somehow and some
time in the future Europe will revive
the discussion of cancellation, and
that IL the British impression goes
unchallenged at a time when the facts
ficials they will not be SO easily re-
futed ten or fifteen years hence. The
controversy over funds reminds many
officials here OF the controversy which
ragged in 1919 and 1920 as to which
country really won the war.
Each Nation War Winner.
The Belgians were convinced that
| II they had not halted the first German
advance, Paris would have been cap
tured; the French are sure that II
they had not furnished the big army
they did the allies would have beer
crushed; the British feel confident tina,
If the British feet had not been as
powerful and effective as it was, the
blockade would not have been any good
and the Germans would have had
more supplies from the outside, and
finally many Americans will carry tc
their graves the irrefutable impression
that but for the two million mer
brought to France in the crucial mo.
ment the whole allied course would
have been defeated.
And SO 1t Is with funds. II America
hadn't helped Great Britain the allies
would have lost; IL Great Britain
hadn't helped the continental pow
ers with funds the whole allied fab
ric would have collapsed. Any effort
| to imply that concessions are, there
fore. duo one power will not be re-
garded with favor here, and as for g
general cancellation all around, the
arguments made before tho British
| mission arrived and decided to pay
its debts still hold good SO far rs
the American government is con-
cerned. A general all-around effor,
to pay debts Is viewed as an economic
necessity and a psychological slim
ulus to world credit conditions.

1t Is considered to have been men,

Others of this tribe are mentioned
by Nine. Marian as being eaten by
both the native and white Inhabitants

nicely roasted after being cleaned

also this or some similar insect is
mentioned, under sthe name of the
Moutao grub, as being eaten by
whites and natives alike.
In Java there is a species OF cock
