The Tigers had trouble with the

DAWES PLAN ON
DEBT PAYMENT
Paris Believes United. States
Cannot Object To New
Proposal.

Paris.-With the support of the
Chamber of Deputies, Finance Min
lister Clementel set before American
Ambassador Herrick the informal sug.
gestion that the principle underlying
the Dawes plan be applied to the set
Element of Frances war debt to the
United States.
At the same time he handed Mr..
Herrick a copy of his inventory of
French finances and reiterated his
declaration that France had no
thought of repudiating her debts. At
the conclusion of their conversation
the Ambassador said he would forward
a copy of the inventory and tran
script of the discussion. to the State
Department at Washington. v
M. ClementePs proposal, which, he
told correspondents, is not official but
represents his personal views, has
created the greatest interest here. The
Finance Minister said he was only
simplifying his own remarks that "if
the principle Of capacity for payment
is right when applied to Germany il
ought to be granted to all the war
debtors.
1.-THE possibility of eHecting trans
fers of money without disturbing ex
change and unsettled national eco
nomic conditions is not a condition
that exists in Germany alone" he said
He added, however, that he did not
intend that the control features of the
Dawes plan, as applied to Germany,
should apply to war debtors.
It is understood that M. Clementel
sounded parliamentary circles on the
subject before launching the idea and
was assured Chamber backing in case
the creditors of France were willing
to consider it. Among those sympa-
thetic to the Government it is thought
the declaration may give an entirely
new turn to the discussion of the war
debt question.
Such speculation as has been in
dulged in takes the line that the
United States, which so heartily ap-
proved the plan as applied to Ger
many, can scarcely object to its con-
sideration for settlement of the Allied
war debts.
One publication is moved to remark:
"These declarations, coming on the
eve of the conference of Finance Min
listers, are bound to produce an i'm
portant reaction in the United States
and in the European debtor countries"

GREET 1000 CALLERS.
President And Wife Spend Over Four
Hours Shaking Hands.

MISUNDERSTANDING open the
doors Of the White House to all who
cared to call, President and Mrs.
Coolidge received 1000 visitors at
their New Years reception.
The Chief Executive and Mrs. Cool
idge stood for four hours and half
in the Blue Room shaking hands with
their callers and extending and re-
ceiving greetings. Beginning at II
o'clock, the reception was scheduled
to end at 2:30, but when that hour
arrived Mr.. Coolidge directed that it
be continued until all who desired had
opportunity to call.
The number received was no greater
than in former years, but the proper
ton of the general public to those
classed as official was larger. More
over, there was less formality than in
the more recent years, some of the
older White House attaches saying it
was reversal to the New Year recep-
tions of the pre-war days, when Wash
ington, as smaller city. looked more
ON the President and his wife as neigh
bors and on attendance at the recep-
tion much like call on any of their
other friends.

Breakup Of Raindrops
Cause of Lightning?
THE TWIRLY ToRTIsAW

The latest accepted theory on the
cause of lightning is based on expert
ments conducted In India by DR..
George G. Simpson. Simpsons ex-
PLANTATION starts with the fact, previ-
ously determined by laboratory ex-
periments, that when drops Of water
are broken up there is a separation Of
negative and positive electricity. says
the Mentor Magazine. This process
occurs on a large scale in thunder
storms, where the falling raindrops
are broken before they reach the earth
by the powerful uprushes of air that
occur in such storms.
\ Positive electricity tends to remain
in the drops, while negative electricity
is carried aloft by the rising air and
eventually gives strong negative
charge to the higher parts of the
clouds.
The two kinds of electricity have a
tendency to reunite and neutralize
each other, but they are kept from do
ing so by the air, which is bad con-
ductor. However, when the opposite
charges are strong enough they sud
denly break path through the air
and lightning is produced.

Washington. - About 500, 900 ad-
justed service certificates, represent
ing $750,0O0, 900, as part of the
bonus voted by Congress for World
War veterans, were placed in the
mails December 81 by the Veterans
Bureau.
Effort to prevent sending out the
soldier bonus policies failed when
Chief Justice Mccoy, of the District
of Columbia Supreme Court, declined
to grant an injunction asked for by
Benjamin Catchings, New York
lawyer, who contended that the
bonus law was unconstitutional.
Promptly as the new year began
more than $50 sacks of Veterans
Bureau mail were taken to the rail
road station. Under the law the GER
tificates were not to be issued before
January 1.
Thirty thousand checks for amounts
of $50 or less, representing the cash
payment for soldiers who served only
a short time, have been prepared at
the bureau, but these are not to be
mailed out until March /.
In mailing the insurance certificates,
the. only preference made was to
those veterans who have died since
applying for the bonus. These total
not more than TOO. and beneficiaries
of these soldiers may receive pay
ment Immediately. The certificate,
properly Endorsed, together with
proof of death of the soldier, must
be returned to the Veterans Bureau
before payment is made. Payments
on any other certificates are not to
be made before March /.
Director Hines estimated that,
from now on, about 10000 certi-
icates would be mailed daily.
To date the War Department has
received 100000 applications for
adjusted service certificates, an aver
age of $4,000 arriving daily. More
than 100000 applications were re.
turned to veterans because they
lacked signatures, finger prints or
other necessary data.
Major-Gen. Robert c. Davis, who
as acknowledgement, has been charged
with the administration of the bonus
act, in so far as it affects the War
Department, has certified 100000
applications to the Veterans Bureau
for extension of the benefits to the
claimants.
The War Department believes 1t
has completed more than half the
job imposed upon it by law and that
no difficulty will be met in keeping
the applications flowing steadily to
the Veterans Bureau, no matter how
many may be received day. Gen.
eral Davis has not heard from about
100000 veterans whether they in
tend to apply for compensation.

.BORAH TO SEEK
WORLD FARLEY
Will Again Introduce Resolu-
ton For international Eco
nomic Conference.

Washington. - President Coolidge
will be requested to call an interna-
tional economic and disarmament con-
ference in the near future under a
resolution, which Senator Borah, of
Idaho, will introduce in few days.
Senator Borah, as chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee, is
anxious to bring about better economic
conditions throughout the world. He
is convinced that only through such a
conference as proposed will it be pos
sible to stabilize conditions in the
industrial world.
He believes the call for such con-
terence should include invitations to
Russia and Germany. Their co-opera-
ton is absolutely necessary to bring
about effective results, he maintains.
Borah introduced resolution in the
last Congress calling for an economic
conference. At that time the Presi-
dent discouraged the suggestion on
the ground that the time was not pro-
pitious. To large degree the Borah
idea was carried out by the conference
Of experts, suggested by Secretary
Hughes, which resulted in the Dawes
plan.
Borah believes that the Dawes plan
should be followed up by an agree
ment of all the nations to reduce their
armament, which to a large extent is
responsible for the present tax bur-
dens, which are crushing many of the
States Of Europe.
