FRANCE SUGGESTS A
tO-YEAa MORATORIUM
Minister Clementel Presents
Note as First Move in
Debt Settlement.

Paris. = French Finance Minister
Clementel presented note to the
American ambassador, suggesting a
basis for settlement OF Frances debt
to the United States and making a
10-year moratorium.
The move for q debt settlement
came as a climax to furore over the
subject aroused by the inventory pre-
scented to the chamber OF deputies by
Ciementel.
The finance minister's remarks
about Frances ability to pay her debts
and limiting at sentiment favoring "a
pooling of the war debt were misinter-
preted, he explained afterwards. They
caused such sensation, however that
the French government lost no time
in moving for settlement.
The foreign office issued denial
OF reports that payment are to be ex-
tended over 6S years and other rumors
that have been current recently.

PRESIDENT TYLER
A GRANDPA

Former President Of the U. S.
John Tyler became grandpa
last week. His son who is seven
ty-two years old is the proud
daddy Of y bouncing nine pound
child. But that's nothing, for the
old warrior president was sixty
four years old when this present
happy papa was born. President
Tyler was the tenth president OF
the U. S. and when we consider
that his grandchild is now an in
FAINT, the span back to him seems
short indeed. No doubt Mrs JAY
mes of Burton could tell us all a
bout the Inauguration of President
Tyler if she cared to, as she was
having ''beaux" about that time.
After all's said and done, time
is a relative thing, and he lives
most who thinks most, feels the
and acts the best. y

Club Brings
Post Nearer
to City

THE Army, with its pomp, its glory
i and color is one Of the vital fac.
tors of the social life of San Antonio.
Fellowship and friendship join to-
gether the residents of the Army Post
and the city.
One of the important factors for
friendship between citizens and the
army people, is the Army Civilian
Club, the membership of which in
cludes some Of the greatest names in
the army world and some Of the lead
ers Of the social world in San An
tonic.
Fort Sam Houston Is the largest
army post in 'the United States and
covers over $500 acres of land. The
wall d the Quadrangle, shown in the
picture, is the Oldest structure at the
fort. During the Standardization
wnr when the Rough Riders were
trained here, many man destined to
become a hero walked about the old
square. Robert +. Lee, the famous
Confederate leader, and Albert Sidney
Johnston also were familiar with the
quadrangle Of Old Form SAM
But the ancient history connected
with the Quadrangle is not all that is
interesting. In the Quadrangle stands
an old tower, built at the same time
and in that tower is much that is OF
intense attraction. 1t is the multitude
Of initials, some entwined in hearts,
that carve the walls of the staircare.
What a volume Of romance is contain
ed in those carved initials.
And what would the girls of San
Antonio society do without the lieu
tenants? Really, a dance would hard
ly be interesting if it were not for the
glitter of brass buttons and silver bars,
furnished by the military bachelors.
Many of the most beautiful and at
tractive debutantes Of San Antonio
have succumbed to the charms Of the
military. and among the names in
the register Of the officers in the
army, are numberless former San An
tonic girls. Some are East, some are
West and some are in every section of
the globe, where the army Of the
United States is stationed.

 ON FOREIGN TRADE
There's a Big Problem There,
 Speaker Says

Philadelphia. May l6.-tAr)~- Ul. Alvin Johnson editor of the New Republic.

 By exhibiting greater hospitality to imports at the present time,' said Dr. Johnson. i've should make it possible for the European countries to pay in goods in larger measure than they do at present. Their need for credit would be correspondingly reduced We should build up our foreign capital less rapidly, and be able to invest more heavily in pro- duCtive equipment at home.
 "A country lnadequatcly provided with natural resources and over stocked with capital might probably adopt q permanent policy of incrcas- ing its international investments. Such a country would be preparing its people for the position of inter- national remittance men with all the economic dependence this position implies. 70.
 "Thc United States does not need foreign outlets for it's capital It has rich field of profitable invest mcnt al home. Accordingly its policy, while remaining sufficiently elastic 10 admit of temporary growth of foreign investments. should aim at their gradual liquida- tiOn.
