There is no denial of the debt and there can be

loaned the money. The time, twenty-five years, is
reasonable; but of course, important bodies like
this could not be expected to settle n matter SO OBJ
yious as a money loan right out of hand. Diplo-
matte folks and high government fmctionaries
must have time.
This debt matter stands IN the way of a whole lot
of cordial feeling that is held in allegiance in the
two countries, and it would open the way to better
understanding upon a number of pending matters.
1t should be adjusted SO the present Congress
could have an opportunity. to pass upon it for no
one knows what another congress may do in the

Whatever differences exist in the debt matter
should be composed as speedily as possible and
attention directed to matters that may grow equally

FACTORY WASTE
UTILIZED AS FUEL
Two Million Tons of Coal Saved
by Tanbark.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Jan. 15.-In
view of the decreasing supply and
the increasing cost of high grade
fuels of low grade, including what
are known as waste fuels" is be-
coming a problem of major inn
portance to many industries and to
the commercial progress Of the ma
ton, states the bureau of mines. I'm
portant sources of waste fuel en-
umerated by David Moffat Myers,
consulting engineer Of the bureau, in
clude sawdust, shavings, scraps, edg
ings, tanbark, woOd-extract chips,
raper-mill refuse, bagasse or spent
sugar cane, and city refuse.
Perhaps the most important waste
fuel in the United States has been
spent tanbark, according to Mr..
Myers. A rough estimate would in
Gicate that this material generated a
few years ago an amount of steam
that would have otherwise required
the yerly consumption of about
1000, 900 tons of high-grade coal. Yet
at one time this valuable fuel was
considered mere detrlment and an
expense to the leather industry It
was disposed Of by dumping it into
rivers, by filing in waste ground,
and by making roads with it, often
necessitating the payment of large
sums for it's disposition. The improve
ment of a furnace converted a sub
stance supposedly incombustible into
a valuable waste fuel and an
enormous waste was converted into
an equally great saving.
Sawdust and wood waste are Of
course available mainly in numbering
districts. With sawdust the sawmiHs
produce waste wood i'm the form Of
edgings, end cuts. shavings. and
various forms OF blocks and scraps

trials scored fractional advances over

from strength shown last week by
various financial and commodity mar
kets, Wall Street was inclined to look
upon the seizure of Bochum as a
constructive development. This place
is a center Of the SHINES industries
and the speculative community con
verted to the belief that the firm
stand by the French in invading the
Ruhr may lead to a more speedy solu
ton Of the PREPARATIONS problem in
stead Of further complicating the
situation.

strong in the early dealings, while
a number OF specialties displayed
great buoyancy. Postum Cereal was
most conspicuous. soaring to 131

Industrials continued strong in the
first hour and indications of a better
demand creeped into rails under the
influence of good absorption of New
