Paris. Aug. 1s.-While Premier
Poincare's summary of the French
position In the note which will be

Monday treats of the inter-allied debts

The French attitude is that the
war debt to America shall be paid and
that in order to pay 1t France must
get from Germany an equal amount
of the class G bonds, but this does
not mean that If France fails to col

her own debt
The war debts are considered in
French official circles as less pressing

Wichita Falls. Tex, Aug. 1s.--Lon-
ME Davis, a young farmer, is in a
serious condition at the general hos

His skin was torn in number of
places and his body blackened by
welts and decorations. His father and
his brother have appealed to acting
Governor Davidson for state inves-
tigation.
According to Davis story he had
just returned from an automobile
ride with Hamp Love, city marshal of
Iowa park and was waiting outside a
garage for the officer to put up his
motor car when the five unmasked
men drove up, placed a sack over his
head and drdove rapidly out of town.
Davis said few miles out on
lonely road the men ordered him out

move his. clothing laid him on the
ground and pelted him with the wet
rope. He did not recognize any of
his assailants.

NO CASH TAKEN FROM DESK,
COL. THOMPSON DECLARES
City Clerk Investigates Following Ru-
NOR OF Theft i'm City Hall
Office

Following reports that city en-
ploye had been seen with his hand
thrust into the change drawer of
Town Clerk A. l.. Thompson's desk
at City Hall, Col. Thompson checked
up his accounts this week and finds
that no money is missing. Mayor A.
NJ. Paonessa had interested himself in
the check-up, fearing that, because of
the large number of persons who en-
ter the clerks office on business daily,
there might be possibility of numer-
Gus petty thefts. AS result of the
reports circulated last week, it is be-
lieyed likely that some minor
changes in the methods of handling
and safeguarding cash may be made
in the office.
