HOW ABOUT THIS DEBT?

Is it true that Uncle Sam really
owes France hundred and twenty
billion dollars more than she owes
us? The Hon. Edward c. Little of
the second district, Kansas, a man
of education and recognized intelli-
gence, stated in the national House
Tuesday, that the King of France in
1852 spent $33,93O.0O0 to send the
Rochambeau fleet to America, that
our colonial government promised to
pay this, but didn't; that at six per-
cent compound interest this would
now amount to $133,325, 25S,000, or
around SIZE, 00,OOO,OOO more than
France owes US.
Is the best we can. say to that to
reply that the six per cent rate was
altogether too high? There probably
are explanations about that transac-
ton, but we better not get too cocky
with France until we know what
they arc.

Fox Hunting Still Vogue
DeI lie Many Handicaps

London. Jan. 2l.--(A. J.. by ma - j..
--GoVernments may come and gov
ernments may go. but the old Eng
lish pastime of foxhuntins will go
on forever.
If this opinion is not shared by
the majority Of farmers in Britain
over whose lands the hunters ride,
it is by Lord Hillingdon. master or
the Grafton Hunt. for speaking at
the annual meeting of the Hunt, the
noble lord said. Whatever govern
ment comes into power ] have a
feeling that we shall carry on fox
hunting somehow"
The present reason Of foxhunting
here has not gone at all smoothly
from the point of view Of the chas-
er", for they have been detarred
from crossing lands on which the
foot and mouth disease has broken
ont Consequently sport has been
greatly curtailed, and the number OF
hunting days considerably reduced
