REACH AGREEMENT
ON FRENCH DEBT
Interest Rate to Be 3Ha Per
Cent-Both Sides Are
Pleased.

Washington. outlines of the
French debt settlement have already
been practically agreed upon in pre-
liminary negotiations, it has been dis
closed, virtual agreements having al
ready reached point which insures
the success of the formal negotiations.
Briefly the fundamental principles,
which seem satisfactory both to the
French and the administration In
clude:
l. Consolidation of the three classes
of debt into one. These three are the
prearmistice loans, the postarmistice
loans, and the price of the war sup
plies sold to the French government n
1919.
2 Fixing Of T. period over which
payments shall be made at sixty-twO
years, the same term as adopted in
both the British and Belgian settle
ment
8. An interest rate of three and one
half per cent.
a. Reduction of the accumulated in
terest which had been figured at per
cent, thus bringing the present total
of the debt up to 81, 100000 rough
ly speaking by making the rate of 31a
per cent retroactive.
5. Further reduction of the present
total of the debt by a retroactive ad-
justment of the interest actually paid
on the $4OO,OOOOO0 of debt for war
supplies. France has actually paid
$20,000000 year since 1919, or six
years, at the rate of per cent. This
adjustment will practically credit
France with the excess ia per cent
or some 100000 a year for these six
years, with a further adjustment for
compromising.
6. Very low payments during the first
few years of the refunding period. This
period of smaller payments is fixed
tentatively at not less than ten years
nor more than fifteen, but probably ap-
preaching the latter figure.
Both the administration and the
French, it may be stated, are very
much pleased with this progress toward
the settlement.

Remote From the Real
Centers

distances, as someone has so aptly
said, are all relative. Also, much de-
ponds upon ones point of view.
There is the story of the Texas cow
boy from beyond Brownsville who
made a trip to Dallas and upon his
return stated to a group of his friends
that he didn't believe he'd ever go
up North again-he didn't care for
"the way them Yankees lived"
Also there is the little yarn relating
to the Death valley prospector who,
having made strike, paid his first
visit to Chicago and indorsed the
place by saying:
She looks to me like she ought to
make permanent camp"
But of yarns of this sort the one /
place first in my own gallery Of
standard favorites has to do with a
Wyoming ranch foreman who was
sent east by his employer in charge
OF carload of polo ponies. He was
gone four weeks. When he arrived
back at the ranch he wore an air Of
unmistakable pleasure and relief.
Gee" he said, sits good to git
home again. So fur as I'm concerned
don't wan, never to travel no more"
Didn't you like New York; asked
one of the hands.
"Oh, it's all right in it's way" he
said, but don't keer for it."
What's chiefly the matter with
it?"
"Oh," he said, "it's so dad blame
far frum everywhere"

NAVY AVIATOR FLIES
S MILES IN MINUTE
Lieutenant Flashes Through
Air 1923 Miles an Hour.

Mitchell Field, N. Y. Flashing
through the air at the speed of 1923
miles per hour, better than five miles
a minute, Lieut.. Afford Williams, q.
S. N, gratified lifelong ambition and
set a new unofficial speed record. The
2,200-pound plane which Lieutenant
Williams piloteL is the new Curtis
racer with which the navy hopes to
win the Pulitzer race in October.
Climbing in steep spirals, the plane
poised hawklike at 5000 feet and then
dived toward the earth. Barely 300
feet from the ground it fiattened out
and Williams shot off on the straight
away one kilometer course.
After landing, Lieutenant Williams
said it always had been his ambition
to travel 300 miles an hour.
Lieutenant Williams said the airship
balances perfectly and that the faster
it goes the more sensitive are the con-
trolls.
Driven by a Curtiss V-1400 motor,
the plane measures twenty-five feet
from wing tip to wing tip, nineteen
feet eight and one-half inches in
length, and stands eight feet and one
half inch high.
The speed attained by Lieutenant
Williams, although unofficial, breaks
the worlds record set by French
aviator, Adj. Florentin Bonnet, of 27S
miles per hour, last December.
The plane will be taken to Manhas-
sett bay, where it will be equipped
with pontoons. Here the plane will
be put over course of approximately
four miles in a tryout for the Jacques
Schneider trophy race at Baltimore
later in October.

President Coolidge o. KS
Ban on British Communist

Washington = Secretary of State
Kellogg had no discretion under the
law with respect to the barring of Sha-
purgi Saklatvala, Communist member
of the British parliament, from admis-
sion to this country, in the view OF
President Coolidge.
The law makes 1t mandatory, ac-
cording to the Presidents view, that
the State department should refuse
visas to persons who carry on revo
lutionary propaganda looking to the
overthrow of American institutions
In view of the provision in the i'm
migration law, President Coolidge re-
CARDS criticism in Saklatvala's case
unwarranted.
