BRITISH COUNTING ON FAIR PLAY
OF u. S. IN FRENCH DEBT ISSUE
Expect Same Terms to Be Granted Them If Conces
sions Are Made to Paris, Gardiner Says in
Frank Dispatch.
BY A. G. GARDINER.

LONDON, December 6.-Much at
tention was attracted here by refer
ences in President Coolidges mes
sage to Congress on the subject of
war debts
Both in city and official circles sur
prise was expressed at the proposed
preferential treatment of France at
the expense of this country.
It is pointed out that Great Britain
though more severely hit by the post
war depression than France, has full
filled its debt obligation to America
incurred not in it's own interest but
in the interests of the allies Mean
while she has received not a single
copper in return for the vast sums
she lent France, Italy and Russia for
the conduct of the war. Nor is there
word that indicates any intention
to pay.
AS one critic observes: TT seems
hard that America should begin to be
generous to France at the expense of
Frances creditor.
See Terms Revised.
1t is pointed out that though in the
terms of the funding agreement with
America nothing appeared as to a re-
VISION of the scheme 1t was assumed
that in event of easier terms being
granted by America to the other
debts, the British terms would be re-
vised. Under the present terms Great
Britain is committed for 60 years to
payment to America of an annual sum
equal to the whole cost of national
education and more than the total
prohts from shipping and the mining
industries. All this Is in respect to
money Great Britain borrowed in be-
half of France and Italy, for Eng
land financed her own share of the
war from beginning to end.
1t is new and dangerous doctrine
in world relationships that nations
should be punished in proportion to
their efforts to pay their way. The
! writer suggests that a pertinent in
quity in the circumstances would be
into comparative taXations in Eng
land and France during and since the
war. The result would throw flood
of light on the causes of industrial
depression in England and on the
fact that France, five years after the
was, has yet to repay the first in
stallment of her enormous borrow

been made to develop any particular
star debater. but each man is given
a chance to do his part toward win
ming contest. In this way the re-
sponsibility has been divided equally
and the men have realized what was
expected of them and have come
through in good shape"
In Fulton the town spirit in behalf
of the college is fine and the residents
of the town have backed the debaters
wonderfully. Large crowds always
come out to the debates and the stu
dents are encouraged In every way
to do their best in these contests.
In Profs. McCluer and Reeves Full
ton people believe they have two of
the best debating coaches in the
country. Prof. Reeves is ccol and
collected. while Prof. McCluer is bub-
bling over with energy and dynamics.
Between the two they drill the do
baters until there is not d vestige of

THE HAGUE. Holland. November
16.-If the deafening applause that
greeted Prof van Embden's recent
anti militaristic address is any in
dication of the general feeling OF the
country, the people of the Neither
| lands may be said to be virtually
solid for disarmament.
The spokesman for the abolition of
the army and navy met Gen. Snyders,
formerly commander-in-ch chief of the
Dutch army, at a public debate be
fore a packed audience in the big
gest assembly hall of the Dutch roy
al residence. Thousands of people be-
longing to all classes of society ca
gerIy followed the arguments on both
sides. A battery of sound amplifiers
had been installed for the benefit of
multitude outside which had been
crowded out
Cite Lnst War.
Both speakers agreed that despite
the Geneva conventions the menace
of war had not been wholly lifted
from the world, and they envisaged
Hollands position in the eventuality
of another great war in the light of
the fact that the country had miracu-
lously escaped from being dragged
into the last world conflict. How
could Hollands future safety be best
insured, they asked.
BY total disarmament, the profess
sor argued. Never by disarmament,
but only by adequate preparation to
keep the enemy out, declared the gen
eral.
Prof van Embden made his audi
ence shudder by recounting the hor-
rors of gas warfare. citing reports
by Brig. Gen. Amos Alfred Fries.
chief of the American Chemical War
fare Service; Maj. Gen. William
Luther Sibert and Gen. Tasker H
Bliss. IF the next war finds us an
armed nation, we shall be utterly and
irretrievably lost" he declared.
Argues For Defense.
Gen. Snyders agreed that Holland
coveted nothing, and that the next
war could never be an aggressive one
as far as Holland was concerned
He pointed out that Holland was an
agricultural, not an industrial coun-
try, and therefore Ill equipped for
the production of warlike material.
AS to gas warfare. his opinion was
that it had come to stay, and timely
defensive precautions were essential.
He said that injuries by gas were
not necessarily more horrible than
those produced by red-hot shell splin-
ters. How, he demanded, could the
country be saved from being over
run by a belligerent unless it pos
sessed the means of resisting en-
croachments?
Prospects of further heavy military
expenditure. as foreshadowed in the
budget estimates, had not missed
their effects on the audience Gen.
Snyders' appeal for preparedness was
punctuated with shouts of mo more
money for war" and the end of his
speech was drowned in tumult The
meeting broke up with the audience
singing ti-militaristic songs.

GERANIUM AND THE CRANE
Flower and Hosting Device De-

From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
The geranium and the powerful
hosting cranes used for lifting To-
comotives derived their names from a
single source. The origin of "gerani-
UNI" was the Greek word "geranos,
meaning the crane" a bird.
The flower took its name from the
fact that it's seed capsules have a
long, projecting beak-described as
"a beak-like torus or receptacle
around which this seed capsules are
arranged" The resemblance to the
beak of crane causes the geranium
to be commonly known as cranes
