BRITAIN HAS A BILL

London. Dec. 5.-Thc British gov;
ernment, it was stated in official
quarters today, is expected to ad-
dress note to the American and
French governments soon requesting
those governments to inform Great
Britain what steps have been taken
or arc anticipated in settling the
French war debt to the United
States.
Such inquiries. it was stated, were
natural after the recent statements
made both in France and in the
United States regarding the prelim-
mary negotiations to such a settle
mcnt. as Great Britain not only was
uniformed Of such steps but never
has been approached OH the subject
of any settlement Of the French war
debts to the British government.
Frances debt to Great Britain
amounts to 623,OOO,OOO pounds with
79S 100000 owed by France to the
United States. 1t is pointed out
that Great Britain has Il right to en-
pect, the sums are almost indentical
and were obtained in the same
cause, that the British government
receive the same treatment from
France as any other nation in this
tangled problem of allied
debts.
The British financial ministry is
necessarily bound to follow public
opinion largely in the matter of
debts, it was stated.

cssary to milk her four times day,
a special grain ration was prepared
for her.
During the test she got the fol-
lowing ration: three parts each of

against Phillip Preszler and Jacob
Leno, both of Tuttle, have been filed
in the Kidder county court and have
been placed for execution in the
hands Of the sheriff Of that county
for levy on their property, according
to A. ]. Scott, secretary of the North
Dakota Wheat Growers association.

ated damages of 25 cents per bushel

charges.
The association was granted a
judgment Of $40S.75 against Mr.. Pres

MURDER CLUE
is FOLLOWED
Developments Expected ir
Death of Darlington Man

Darlington, n D., Dec. 5.-With
the arrest of Il. Clancy in Sioux
City, further Developments in the
mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of John Goings, Of Darlington,
are expected daily. Clancy was one
Of the two men who left here with
Goings November II.
Sheriff Allen X. Hail returned to
this city late yesterday afternoon
with George Goings, the brother of
the man whose automobile was
found in Minneapolis with only
bloodstains on it to give Il clue to
the probable murder. The two men
left Darlington Friday afternoon and
went to Minneapolis where they
worked with the Minneapolis police
department, assisted by Captain
Crummy, of the detective bureau.
When Sheriff Hall left Darlington
he had information about Clancy
which led to his arrest in Sioux
City several days later. Ed Helm,
the other man who accompanied
Goings when he left here, has not
been seen since he attempted to
cash a travellers check, thought to
be Goings' in Minneapolis.
Trace of Goings and his two COM
panions was picked up at Elbow
Lake, Mimi. where restaurant en-
ployes said the men stopped for a
lunch about noon, November 1S. No
further trace has been found of
Goings. and efforts to find him have
to date failed, largely because moth
ing has been learned from Clancy
and Helm is still at large. Police,
working on the clues they already
have, are relatively certain that Co.
ings was attacked between Elbow
Lake and Minneapolis and probably
murdered, his body being disposed
Of some place relatively near to the
highway.
George Goings, the brother Of the
missing man, last saw his brother
when John left his brothers home
in jamestown, the morning Of No.
vember 1S. Sheriff Hall and George
Goings drove back to Darlington in
the car of the missing man.
