says:
"Tanlac has helped me just like

"Tanlac has cleared my face and
hands of skin eruptions from which
had suffered agony. But that

seemed to tone me up in every way.
1t has built me up until life and

ever praises them or expresses ap-

heard of recently was in a county
where certain school district had
500, 900 on deposit in local bank.
The banker was treasurer of the
school district. He was discOunting

loaning out the schools money at

district only 2 per cent on funds de-

from taxpayers standpoint be-
cause the railroad pays about one
fourth of the taxes in that County.
The injustice to all taxpayers was
promptly corrected.
,"Another instance-a certain North
Dakota town decided to raise $50
as tax item. In transmitting the
certificate for levy, the clerk, OF
someone, made a small error BY add

"Not long ago a village clerk in

wrote: Il don't know whether l told

ty auditor was sick when those taxes
were levied and his daughter took

"The railroad tax expert works
about one-fourth to one-sixth of the

MALAMUTE IN DISGRACE.
Famous Dog of Arctic Becomes
Nuisance as Civilization Grows

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, August %
The malamute dog, for many years
the famed steed of the North, ap-
parently is destined to go.
With the coming of railroads dog
teams were driven farther into the
interior And now the prevalence OF
reindeer herds and the growth of the
market garden and the town-lo,
garden have caused restrictions to be
drawn around the malamute until he
is coming to be classed a nuisance in
the more settled parts of southern
Alaska The malamute had his
genesis in the wolves and wild dogs
of the North. All fowls and quadru-
peds were his common prey. But
when. in more modern days, a mala-
mute began pulling down reindeer
and the live stock of farmers he was
treated as a wolf and hunted down.
Owing to the light demand for dogs
it is difficult to procure pure-bred
specimens south of the Yukon, and
the one-time aristocrat of the Arctic
is becoming mixed with the blood of
so many mongrels that he has almost
lost his identity.

Such fears may seem fantastic to
anybody who merely follows events
from day to day without taking ac-
count of the larger motives and direc-
tions of policy involved. But these fears
alone can explain the frenzied state
ments of Chancellor of the Exchequer
Snowden on the very ~eve of the Ger
man Reichtstag's vote on the London
agreements. These statements can
only be interpreted as direct attempt
to sabotage what the London confer
ence accomplished toward pacification
of the European continent by inspiring
the German NationaliSts with the hope
that. by obstructionist measures, they
can play England against France and
thus keep alive the stupid lingo eenti-
ment which in Germany, as well as in
France, has been the mainstay of Eng
lands continental policy for genera
tions
Whether Mr.. Snowden's maneuver
will succeed still is doubtful. 1t
may be that the German Nationalist s
are too cowardly and too unconvinced
of their ability to enlist popular sup
port to stick by their guns, defeat
the Dawes plan bills and force a new
parliamentary election But in that
and still more subtle means to keep
Franco-Germany divided and eS-
pecially to prevent the consumma- :
ton of the proposed industrial agree
mentS affecting the exchange of iron
and coke.
May BE Decisive.
Americas attitude in this struggle
may well be decisive. and every step
the Washington government takes
will be watched. with the keenest
anxiety on both sides. Washington
may have to decide whether it will
throw it's influence on the side of
England and maintain the continental
peace in a state of unstable equilib-
rum, with France and Germany at
the ends of the see-saw and England
in the middle, throwing it's weight
ever on the side of the weakest. or
will support a purely continental
peace pact and insist on England
keeping her hands off of continental
affairs.

HERR|0T'S PLACE
| REMAINS SECURE
French Premier Has Promise
of Continuance Until Poin-
care Errors Ars Righted.
BY GERVILLE REACHE,

By Radio to The Star.
PARIS, August 23.-The French
cabinet has successfully defended the
London agreement before Parliament.
The issue was defined before public
opinion in the most simple and most
superficial form.
"The London Conference" Premier
Herriot explained. lis only a begin
ming, but 1T is beginning of real
peace" And as the country now is
either taking a vacation or Is busy
with the harvest, it does not inquire
deeper into the affair.
Indeed, the Herriot government
profits from the enormous blunders
of its predecessors. Considering the
deputies now regret that former
Premier Poincare refused the bank
ers' offer in April, 1922, and the Bonar
Law plan in January, 1923. and failed
to exploit the unhoped-for success
in the Ruhr when the Germans ceased
passive resistance last Autumn.
Furthermore, those who aspire to
succeed Herriot are quite content to
continue the painful liquidations Of
Poincare's policies. That is why such
groups as Loucheur's, who will par
ticipate in the future center govern
ment. vote for Herriot today and
make his majority larger than when
he took office.
Bafied Poincaire.
Thus the various maneuverS plan
ned against Herriot collapsed in the
public session. They wanted him to
discuss the agreements first before
parliamentary committees, but he re-
fused and was upheld. He would
have been obliged to confront Poin-
care in a closed session of the senate
foreign affairs committee. Poincare
was afraid to come out in open pub
lie debate for the reasons previously
stated and because Herriot has found
other weapons in the archives of the
Ouai D'Orsay.
Other opportunities sought to
prove that the London conference
amended the Treaty of Versailles and
necessitated re-ratifcation of the
pact, but this argument, which would
have given the German Nationalists
splendid ground for obstructing
a vote on the laws required under the
Dawes plan, was easily defeated.
These considerations Of internal
politics were sufficient to assure Her
riots victory. but he had another
strong argument, namely. that the
reparations commission will hence
forth have an American member vot-

COPY PEASANT ARTISANS.

HAMBURG, August 23.-The furni-

recently in Hamburg and exhibited
their wares for the first time in q
number of years.
One of the most attractive exhibits
was a group of rooms decorated ex-
clusively with old North German
peasant art which flourished when
the rural districes produced and sup
ported their own artisans to supply
them with such furniture as fitted
into the low studded rooms of the
farmhouses of the early periods. The
rural artisan disappeared when the
industrial age came with its machine

tain members of the British govern
ment, notably Philip Snowden, who
before the ink Is dry on the agree
ment, seeks with the umost bad
faith to put spokes in the wheels OF
certain clauses.
Finally, careful examination
shows that under the new arrange
ments France is debtor for much
larger sums than she Is creditor for
and that her creditors have not yet
granted her as favorable terms as
Germany, has just been granted. In
deed, France comes out Of all this
as the biggest debtor nation in the
world. Unless she takes action i'm

France Prey OF CredItor.:
Germany has adjusted her foreign
debts by accepting the Dawes plan
and Russia has obtained from Eng
land an annulment Of war debts and
an indefinite moratorium for her pre-.
war debts. which will eventually be
paid, If at all, by a new Russian loan
in England. France alone remains
prey to the claims of creditors.
: SO if the London agreement, as
Herriot says, is only the beginning
Of a new era of peace, France must

some relief on her foreign debts sc

| PARIS, August 23.-which side will
America take in the new struggle
| which is now preparing between
Great Britain on the one hand and
continental Europe on the other?
This question is beginning to
| emerge as one of the most important
| factors in the peace of the world.
Until today England and America
have stood side by side in insisting
that the continental nations. nota y
France and Germany. compose their
differences and agree on a peaceable
| and orderly solution of the problems
left by the war. Thanks to this in
sistence, the reparations problem
! finally has been settled. at least on
paper, and France has agreed not to
repeat military pressure on Germany
| in case of another default.
Fear Commercial War.
So far England was pleased with
| the result. But England would have
| liked to have Franco German recon-
ciliation cease at that point. Instead
| of that, however. Premier Herriot,
| negotiating separately with the Ger
mans over the evacuation of the
| Ruhr, succeeded in obtaining certain
commercial facilities for French in
| dustrieS which the British now fear
| will mean an eventual Franco Ger
| man commercial alliance and a Sc
| riouS threat to British manufacturing
| interests. And behind this fear of Il
CONNER rcial war is the further fear
that Great Britain's political domina-
tion of the continent by the age-old
policy of balance of power-"divide
and conquer"-is doomed to perish,
and that henceforth the European
continent will manage its own desti-
nieS.
If this happens all the British elder
statesmen will arise to proclaim that
it means the end of the British EN-
pire and the end of Britain's insular
security from continental attack.
