She walked amid the jungle deep
For many weary miles,
Amid the dismal shades where creep
The snakes and crocodiles
She fastened through the tangled
maze
For seven nights and seven days,
Nor did she fear the jungle's ways.
Nor heed its savage wiles.
She fastened on by swamp and stream,
Her eyes with love alight;
She travelled by the sunset CLEAN
And by the stars at night.
For weary miles on weary feet
She hoofed through rain and mud and
heat,
And still her gown was slick and neat,
And still her shoes were white!

GERMANY ALSO BLAMED.
Minister of Finance Pleads Failure
of Berlin to Pay Preparations.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, December 27-The depre
citation in French exchange is blamed
by Minister of Finance De Lasteyrie
on fGermany's failure to pay repara-
tlons and consequent evils" NJ. De
Lasteyrie was replying in the senate
70 questions regarding the financial
situation.
The minister said commerce and
finances were in good shape, but
nevertheless the franc has been fall
ing for three years. He concludes
that the psychological reactions of
world finance were unfavorabfe to
france. He recalled that France
this year had repaid to Spain 204,-
100000 pesetaS, the United States
Si3,00O,000 and Japan $4,000, 900 yen,
but had to borrow for expenses
chargeable to Germany
The franc, now at Il record low
point. was incompatible with a bal
anced budget. NJ. De Lasteyrie de-
clared. Rumors of imitation and sto-
ries of wastefulness in the devastated
regions were all chapa cterized by the
minister as calumnies. He regretted
that interallied debts were not set
tied when the treaty of Versailles
was signed.
He deplored the effects of specula-
t1on and assured the senate that the
law against the export of capital en-
abled the government to act if nee
esSary. The minister expressed, con-
hdence that France by hard work and
selt-sacrifices would recuperate.
