RELIEF


France, paying her people for
war damages, has already handed
over "a billion francs. She has put
her 0. k. on damage claims of 50
billion francs and expects the final
total to be as high as IS billions.
The value of the franc has fluc-
tuated so much there's no way Of
estimating how much of the expeE-
diture will be recovered from Ger
many in Preparations.
When the books are balanced a
century from now, however, Uncle

DEEPLY MOVED
BY u. s. TRIBUTE

WASHINGTON, Feb. r Wood

used in answer to the controversy
now raging between London and
Paris over Lloyd George s charge
that Wilson and Clemenceau arrang-
ed 4 secret pact on Rhincland occu-
patton, while Lloyd Georges back

While Mr.. Wilson left no memoirs,
he had voluminous file of private
letters which he planned to use i'll
preparing 4 purely historical and
impersonal volume on the war ana

What will now be done with those
letters depends upon Mrs. Wilson s
wishes. No decision will be reach

today.
Mrs. Wilson will take a long rest
to rccuperate fully from the strain
attendant upon her husband s ill
ness, death and burial. She has
made no plans for her future but
will continue to live in Washington.
Mrs. Wilson was suffering today
from fatigue and nervous reaction,
but DR.. Grayson said that rest and
quiet would restore her quickly.
She was very deeply moved by
the nationwide tribute to her hus-
band both during his illness and af-
ter death, and expressed a wish to
DR.. Grayson that she could, in some
adequate way, thank the many thou
sands who expressed their sympathy.
Miss Margaret Wilson and Mrs.
William G. McAd0O, Mr.. Wilson s.
daughters, were with Mrs. Wilson,
They joined with DR.. Garyson in
urging her to go away from Wash
ington for a short rest.
Mr.. Wilson S will, which is under .
stood to dispose of an estate of
about $l50,000, will be filed shortly.

in the Daily Chronicle as saying
that Clenenceau and Wilson ar

PLAN TO CLEAN UP u. S. TREASUR
Pr0gressiUes to
Dig Deeply Into
Newest Scandal

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7-Convinc-
ed that a gigantic bond fraud has
been uncovered by Charles b. Brew
er, special assistant attorney gen
eral, Progressivcs in congress will
meet tomorrow to plan campaign
to "clean up' the treasury.
After examining evidence of dupli
cation Of Liberty bonds yesterday a
volunteer committee OF Progressivcs
was appointed to see that the whole
affair gets a public airing. Tins
committee, composed of Representa-
tives Woodruff, Michigan; Jeffers,
Alabama, and La Guardia, New
York, will decide whether Brewer 5
evidence should be presented to q
grand jury ut once or whether Il
congressional investigation will pre-
cede court action.
Representative King, Illinois, who
has followed Brewer 8 investigation
for more than a year and now has
the key to the safe deposit vault
where the evidence is stored, is op-
posed to a congressional lnvestiga-
ton. He said it is more likely 10
result in "white wash' and "cov-
ering up process" than "getting at
the facts.'

ton of Brewers evidence,o kfug
said, 81 am convinced that there Is
something rotten in the treasury
and the bureau of engraving and
printing. We must clean it up II

their government.

King said that Brewer had the
names of several high officials whG
are involved in the bond ,dRpli

going on since war time.
