LEAGUE ANALYzES FINANCES OF EUROPE
Experts at Work on the Money
 Matters of Foreign Nations.

Geneva, Nov. 3o.-In view of pres ent plans to hasten sediment of repArations problem, with the CO., operation, if possible, of the United States. special interest attaches to a review of the financial position of 1t countries. mostly European. together with certain remarks on the German reparation question, contained in a memorandum issued by the league of nations.
 The reports shows that in most countries a retrenchment policy has been adopted and considerable sav- ings have been effected, although the ever-increasing burden Of the public debt has in many cases swallowed up what may have been saved by cutting down the administration. The de- velopment of the public debt has been compared with the changes in the price level. i.e.. the nominal amount of the debt has been divided by the wholesale price index number, and in this way reduced to pre-war price level. When this is done it is seen that the French debt has risen to three times the amount of the pre- war debt. the British debt to seven times the amount, and the American debt to nearly IS times the amount of the pre-war debt.

But in that. as events proved. he was mistaken. For when. in the early afternoon, wrapped in the fur gar. ments which the girl had manufac- tured at their old camp, they ven- tured forth, not twenty yards away from the hut Stane came suddenly upon 8 broad snow-shoe trail. At the sight Of if he stopped dead.
 What Is it?" asked the girl quickly.
 some one has been here" he said, in curious voice. Without saving anything further he began to follow the trail. and within few minutes realized that whoever had made if had come down the lake and had been SO interested in the cabin as to walk all around it The tracks of the great webbed- d-shoes spoke for themselves and even Helen could read the signs plainly.

At the same time, it is pointed out that before the war France had, per head of her population, a much high CT debt than Great Britain or the United States and also that, in these two last named countries. def1ation has considerably increased the public debt. It is rather remarkable, says the report. that the two countries in which the public debt shows the greatest real increase are the only countries which have been able to make any substantial repayments of their debts.
 Leaving out of account Germany, where the interior debt has been prac- tically wiped out by the enormous in flation, the country which can boast the smallest increase in its public debt in Finland, and after Finland come South Africa. Switzerland and Sweden.
 Special care has been taken to pre- sent full information regarding for eign debts and claims on foreign gov ernments. The debt is shown both in the currency in which 1t is payable and in domestic currency, the rates of conversion being indicated in each case. The act passed by the United States congress for funding the Brit ish debt is quoted. and other impor- tant statements of international in- debtedness are also set out.
 It is interesting to note, concludes the report, that private individuals of the Netherlands. Sweden and Switzer- land have to a great extent repur- chased the loans issued by these coun- tries in America during 1919, 1920 and 1921.

 No more snow fell for over & fort night and during that time, despite the cold. Stane spent many hours practicins walking without crutches Then at the close of a dull dark day the wind began to blow across the lake. whistling and bowling in the trees behind and the cold it brought with it penetrated the cabin. driving them closer to the stove. All night ii blew. and once, waking behind the tent canvas with which the bunk where she slept was screened. the girl caught rattle OH the wooden walls Of the cabin, that sounded as ii it were being peppered with innumer- able pellets. Seated by the stove after breakfast, Helen was startled by brace of cracks like those Of pis- tol. She started up.
 What was that? Some one fired"

French People Dislike
 Exploding English Coal

Paris, Nov. 30.-when the people of Parts. during the cold weather last winter, used English hard coal in stoves to heat their apartments, they began to notice explosions in the burners that occasionally did serious damage. The trouble was ascribed to gas generated by the burning coal.
 Investigations last summer have proved this was not the cause of the trouble. lt is now declared that the English miners, in getting out hard coal. used explosives which sometimes did not always explode. Small fragments remained in the coal, and brought disaster 10 not a few domes- tie heating plants in the French cspi- tai

 But in the night there was both wind and snow and on the morrow the ~oman's trail was quite obliter- ated and the snow on the lake made travelling impossible. Helen Yardeiy noted the fact without regret,
 There will be no exploring party today" she said. ESQ I will go and look at my rabbit snares."

He watched the bushes steadily as they advanced but saw nothing and when they reached them, thinking that the girl had been mistaken, he thrust his way through them.

 Dear sir.---your Lung Healer has restored by i4.year-old niece to per- feet health from the verge Of con- sumption. She had 4 severe cough all last winter. which. tn spite of all we could do for her. scmcd to take a stronger hold. She began to fade and lose her appetite and strength and to grow thing and pale. Every breath of cold air caused severe coughing. Her lungs became sore and pained her a great doai. and she couehed up great humps Of phleRm. We sent her to the country for the summer. but she seemed no better this fall. As her father died ot com sumption. we believed she was in the grin or tho dread disease. Hearing of the wonderful work Of Aliens Lung Healer VIC decided to give it a trial The results were almost miraculous, as the cough was almost gone after using one bottle and after the second bottle she was entirely cured. She is nov perfectly well and strong. has resaincd her lost nesh. eats heartily and can 20 out in the coldest weather without feeling any bad effects Of catching cold.
