BIGGEST CHECK IN
COUNTRYS HISTORY
WAR FINANCE CORPORATION
PAYS S49o, 100000 BACK INTO
u. S. TREASURY.

The largest check ever drawn in the
financial history OF the world-at least
nobody in the treasury department at
Washington remembers hearing OF
anything bigger-has just been de-
posted in the government archives,
1t amounts to $499,000000 and was
paid to the treasury by the War Fl
nance Corporation after one of the
most amazing financial operations in
the history OF the United States gov
eminent. Congress authorized that
S500000.000 to be used as capital
stock for the War Finance Corpora
ton which was to give financial sup
port to industries necessary or con-
tributory to the prosecution OF the
war. Later on it was authorized to
make advances to the extent OF one
billion dollars to American exporters
and to American banking institutions.
This authority was exercised until the
corporations activities were suspend
ed in May. 1920, and the corporation
was not revived until after consid-
cradle controversy and over the veto
of President Wilson. Altogether the
corporation has made advances since
its beginning OF about 100000, 900,
half of which was under its war pow
ers, and the remainder for agricultural
and live stock purposes. OF the aggre-
gate amount advance only $62,623.-
900 is outstanding as loans. This
means that the War Finance Corpora
ton not only will have received back
the $500,000,000 worth OF capital stock
it had but will earn in addition more
than $62000,000 This is, however, not
a profit, but simply the return TO the
government of a sum equivalent to
the interest cost. In other words, if
the government could have used the
same $500,000,000 to pay off the pub
lie debts the interest charges which
the treasury has to pay on that amount
OF liberty bonds for certain period
would have been saved.

DIVORCES DECREASE,
STATISTICS INDICATE
CUPID SEEMS TO BE RUNNING
AHEAD OF THE APPLE
OF DISCORD.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The great
American home has survived another
year with cupid running we'll ahead
of the apple of discord, according to
figures from more than a score OF
states and cities.
There were more than four times
as many marriages as divorces in 20
principal cities and states, and in many
large areas OF population the number
of young couples embarking on the
ship of matrimony was 10 times as
great as those walking down the gang
plank of divorce.
New York led the country in mar
riages, with an estimate of $4,000 for
the wear, compared to 66,430 last year
Total figures on divorces for the great
err city were not available, but in Man
haitian, the principal borough, there
were 1,200 compared to 1,159 last
year.
Reno, New, led the percentage OF
country divorces over marriages, as
usual. Only 464 couples went to the
altar in the city, while $40 were re-
leased from unhappy alliances.
Cupid worked overtime in Chicago
and Cook county showed 1920 mar
riages during the year, compared tc
1928 divorces. There were 1896
marriages last year and only 7,745 di-
vorces. Chicago had more marriage:
than the entire state of Massachusetts
during 1923, and more divorces, too
Massachusetts statistics showed 35,.
200 couples married last year and on
ly 1888 divorces granted. Figures FOL
1924 were not available.
Los Angeles showed one of the
highest percentages OF divorce in the
country. There were 10000 marriages
there this year and 1882 divorces.

ATLANTA, Gait remained for

Upsham Seeks Vote on
Thirst of His Colleague

WASHINGTON, d. C,-Repre-
sentative w. D. Upshaw, of Geor-
gia, is planning the introduction Of
a resolution which would put the
house of representatives squarely
on record as publicly condemning
those OF its members who violate
the prohibition law.
Introduction of such resolution
would bring a climax to the con-
gressional liquor scandal which has
been barred in the Scott divorce
case and which has aroused much
talk and considerable criticism
throughout the country.
1t would lead, il is expected to
such a flood of debate on the liq-
uor question as has not occurred
on the floors of congress since the
enactment of the Volstead act, and
probably would open up again the
whole question of prohibition en-
forcement. Out and out 'wcts"
would be afforded through this me-
dunn an excellent opportunity to
hurl pointed criticism at the law.

AN OLD QUESTION IS
REVIVED In CONGRESS
TWO FACTIONS FIGHT OVER
DISPOSITION OF ISLE OF
PINES. IGNORED 20 YEARS.

A problem which for 20 years mas
been ignored by congress, although its
solution is eagerly sought by 10000
American citizens, may come up for
discussion during the present session.
The problem is the disposal of the
Isle of Pines, tiny speck OF land ly-
ing about 90 miles off the east coast
OF Cuba. The 10000 Americans live
there.
Disposal Problem.
At the end OF the war with Spain
the government of the United States
was coded the island by Spain in a
treaty. Twenty years ago Secretary OF
State Elihu Root declared that the
United States had no right to the is
land which he held really was the
property OF Cuba Since then the mat
ter has received no attention.
When the island first became the
property OF the United States 10000
American citizens went there, settled
and began raising frTit They beliey-
ed that they would be under the
OHlleu CldlGS government anu lldt
their business would prosper. Since
the statement OF Secretary Root was
made, however, they have been UNI
easy and eager for the question OF
title to the island to be settled.
Two Sides to Question.
AT present there are two sides tc
the question A delegation of Ameri-
cans from the Isle OF Pines is expect
ed to go before congress and force al
issue on the ground that it would not
be right for them to be forced to bow
to the Cuban government which
would be necessary, ii the island were
given away by the United States
They will argue that the American
government must keep the islands and
permit them to continue their bust
ness.
There is a second group, on the
other hand, which contends that the
island is Of little value to the United
States and therefore should be given
to Cuba. The members OF this group
assert that Secretary Root was right
and that the United States has no
right to the island because OF defec-
tive treaty. This group also hopes to
force an early decision on the issue.

TOWN CAN'T VOTE FOR
COUNTY SCHOOL HEAD
VOTERS OF INDEPENDENT
DISTRICTS HAVE NO VOICE
IN COUNTY ELECTION.

The special act passed by the gen
eral assembly in 1919 taking from citi-
zens residing in independent school
districts the right to have a voice in
the selection of a county school head
lis on the statute books and cannot be
ignored, Judge w. f. Thomas, of the
Southern circuit, declared in written
opinion holding that Frank G. Clark
should be commissioned as superin-
tendent of schools of Colquitt county
Judge Thomas handed down the
opinion in connection with a contest
filed by Mr.. Clark against l.. O. Rog-
ers, who was declared winner for the
office following the general election
last November. Under the statement
OF facts agreed to by both parties it
was admitted that if the voters OF
Moultrie and Doerun, both OF which
towns have independent schools, had
no legal right to participate in the
election, Mr.. Clark received a MAORI
ty Of the ballots cast.
In Force Throughout the State.
Judge Thomas, in his decision,
quotes the text of the special act pass
ed by the legislature and adds: That
is the law passed by the general as
sembly OF Georgia, approved by the
governor of Georgia and made the
law of Georgia. 1t is OF force and be-
/ ing observed, inquiry discloses, in va
rious parts OF Georgia. 1t was SO
passed to constitute a guide for the
direction of the peoples affairs and
for guidance of the people themselves,
as we'll as for the guidance OF the
isdges and the courts. This law can
only be repealed by the general as,
sembly OF Georgia with the approval
OF the governor of Georgia.
| 1T is urged by some that | set
aside this law. The judges and the
courts should never attempt arbltrar1-
" TO set aside or disregard any law.
There seems to be no escape from
the conclusion herein recited and moth
ing is LETT for me to do but declare
that Frank G.. Clark received a ma
iority OF the qualified votes cast III the
election"
Affects Dawson Voters.
Under the state law and this court
decision voters of Dawson cannot par
ticipate and have a voice in the cleo
ton of county school superintendent.
Dawson is an independent school dis
trict. and the county board OF educa-
tion has no connection with or super
vision over the Dawson schools.

DEBT MOVE BY FRENCH
PROVES DISAPPOINTING
CLEMENTEL'S UNOFF ICIAL
PROPOSAL REGARDED AS
GESTURE BY OFFICIALS.
SUGGESTED TERMS IMPOSSIBLE
No Indication Given of Desire to Re
fund Debt, and Is Designed to Re-
move the Unfavorable Impression
Created in This Country.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-High Of
fcials of the government are distinctly
disappointed with the proposal which
NJ. Clementel, French finance minis
ter, has personally, and unofficially"
made as basis for the settlement of
the $4,OOO,0000OO debt OF France to
the United States.
The only satisfactory feature OF
this proposal which Secretary OF
State Hughes transmitted to Secre-
tary OF the Treasury Mellon, is the
announcement that France does not
repudiate its Obligations, but recog-
nizes them as binding and payable in
full
Gesture to Overcome Recent Action.
The administration is disappointed,
first, because France, after all, makes
no more than mere gesture III Tor
warding the Clementel commun1ca-
ton, a gesture, it is suspected, design
ed to remove the unfavorable impress
sion created here when the debt was
omitted as a liability from the recent
French budget.
Then. too, such terms as M. Glenn
entel hints at are considered as I'M
possible and as useful only as basis
of further discussion when France
sees fit to approach seriously and detl-
nitely the question OF settling its debt
through a refunding process.
Finally, no indication is given OF a
desire on the part OF France to refund
its outstanding demand notes held by
the American treasury and upon
which interests of more than $oO0,-
100000 has accrued.
1O-Year Moratorium.
Although this government has not
made public the text of the Clementel
communication and has made no d.
rect statement as to its contents, 1t Is
we'll understood that the French IL
nance minister suggests l0-year
moratorium; he suggests that the
payments be spread over period OF
approximately so years, and he thinks
that interest at the rate OF one-halt OF
one per cent ought to satisfy the Unit
ed States.
If these proposals, unsatisfactory as
thew are, had come in the form OF a
note or some other formal communi-
cation from the French government
and not from an individual member
of the cabinet who specifically stated
that it was personal and therefore
unofficial" they would be taken more
seriously in Washington.

RAIL BOARD STANDS
WITH ]. BOIFEUILLET
AWARD HIM SEAT OVER BEN
NETT BY TO VOTE PEND
ING COURT ACTION.

ATLANTA, Ga-After an execu-
tive session lasting three hours and a
hall majority OF the qualified mem
bers of the Georgia PpDliG Service
Commission decided to recognize John
T. Boifeuillet as the fifth member over
the claim OF 0. R. Bennett, that the
seat is legally his. The vote was 8 TO
l, Commissioner James A. Perry dis
senting.
This action gives Mr.. Boifeuilet the
right to sit with the commission as
a legal member until the case has
been decided by the courts. 1t also
throws on Mr. Bennett the necessity
OF starting court action to prove his
contention.
On January LIST Mr.. Bennett claim
ed the office by virtue of his election
in November and a commission sign
ed by the governor dated January lst.
But Governor Walker had asked that
Mr.. Bennett return the commission
when he learned that Commissioner
Boifeuillet declared his office had ii
more months to run.
Both men took stations in Mr.. Boz
feuillet's small office, and for week
worked there with desks on opposite
sides OF the same room. Both declined
to start proceedings against the other.
A meeting OF the commission to de-
eide between the two men was post
poned because the authority OF the
body to take such action was ques-
However, w. f. Watkins, the
commission attorney, held that the
commission not only had the right,
but that it was a duty for it to rec
ognize one of the men as member.

Men who live OIL 50 Earth about

Professor E. E. Raymond, OF Har-

The reason for this change in
