Saved From the Moose.

Nothing in all the range of fiction
or drama quite equals the climax of
a public execution that was scheduled
to take place at Agrafna, in Croatia
the other day. We have often read in
stories or seen Upon the movie screen,
sometimes upon the spoken stage,
the incident Of the reprieve at the last
moment Of condemned persons, in.
tensified in the film by atmospheric"
flashes of speeding horsemen or motor
lists. alternating with the steadily ad-
vancing progression toward the final
act of the tragedy. These 'thrillers''
are very effective. Usually the last
second rescue from death is caused
BY the discovery of new evidence, the
confession Of the real criminal, an
effective outburst of tears from the
heroine melting the heart of Judge or
governor But never in all Of the
range of fictitious narrative or OF ac.
tual happening has a condemned man
been saved In the circumstances

ing ON the scaffoId directly under the
nooses prepared for them. They were
waiting the last unwelcome attentions
of the hangman. Then, within min
ute Of the end that had been decreed
by law, the warden Of the prison IN
formed them that the hangman, indis-
posed by a suddenly contracted cold,
would be unable to off1ciate. and the
execution was postponed for two
days. 1t is impossible Ia imagine
fiction writer or film scenario author
resortins 10 such a device. He might
have the hangman struck by lightning
or hit by motor car on his way to
the prison, but common cold, a mere
smile germ! 1t is too much for the
normal brain to conceive. yet It ac-
tually happened, which proves once
more, as has been proven on an In.
finity of occasions. that truth is
stranger than fiction.

Keep Casualty Hospital Open |!

Intimation is given that unless there
is an increase in the financial support
OF the Casualty Hospital, which is
now under the supervision of Emer-
gency Hospital, it must be closed, In
asmuch as 1t is now costing more to
operate than the income. This insti-
tuition is maintained in part by funds
appropriated by philanthropic institu-
tions. Its own revenue from the pay
ing patronage is slender. Yet it rem
ders a valuable public service in car
ing for emergency cases and in its dis
pensary work for the benefit of per
sons of small means. 1t should not
be closed. 1t serves field of large
area and numerous population in
its emergency work. TO close this
establishment would be to undo the
work of many years in its develop
ment and maintenance Some way
should be found to supplement the
revenues and insure the continued
operation of this valuable public insti-
tuition.

The Governments Fire Risk.

Removal of a large quantity Of
valuable historical documents from
the House Office Building to the Lii
> brary of Congress because of the pos
sibility of their loss through fire in
their former housing again illustrates
tho risk the Government runs in stor-
ipg precious papers in places of doubt
full security. The House Office Build
ing Is a fireproof structure, but it Is
net fully immune from risk. Con-
structed as a place of accommodation
for the members of the lower branch
of Congress its various rooms were
< not designed as possible repositories
for valuable papers, and the fire risk
was consequently not reduced to the
point essential in such a use. But it
is TAR and away a safer place of docu-
ment storage and preservation than
many another Government structure
ln'which irreplaceable files and historic
archives are now kept.
49, In most Of the Government build
ings In this city the fire risk is SO
high that if insurance were sought
the rates would be almost prohibitive.
Papers are stored In quantities in in
hanifiable rooms in ca silly burnable
buildings. Especially risky are the So
called temporary buildings erected
during the war, which have been re-
taified In service despite the passing
of the emergency which called them
into being. In seven years they have
eecdrfie decrepit, with their founda-
tions insecure and trussed up by
lacks. FlocsS are uneven, walls are
; wearing into holes. The invitation to
total loss by fire is constant. Yet
daily documents of priceless char
acter, upon the preservation Of which
immense values depend, are exposed
to destruction in them.
The proposal for an archives build
sihg has Jagged for many years. Such
. structure would not be devoted to
the housing of current files of value,
but only of those papers that have

The French Debt.

A spirit of cordiality pervades the
atmosphere as the French debt com
mission draws near the shores of the
United States. Frances distinguished
sons are coming here, they make 1t
clear, to meet an obligation which
hey recognize and their country recog-
.ntzes. In the past. for one reason or an
other, particularly for partisan politi-
cal advantage, bitter things have been
said in France regarding the war debt
To the United States, and Americans
have been caustic in their rejoinders.
But with the actual approach of the
negotiations for funding the French
debt this bitterness has evaporated to
a very great extent An effort will be
made to reach quickly an agreement
that will be fair and just to the people
sof both nations.
a. AS the NEGOTIATIONS are about to be-
gin here in Washington, it may not
be aniiss to review in cold figures just
what this French debt is. The princi-
pal sum, according to a statement of
the Trea sury Department, a S of May
Is last, was s3,340, ,516,o43 OF this
amount s407 ,oee 900 was contracted
by the purchase of war supplies. The
remainder was covered by advances to
France under the Liberty loan acts.
Approximately $780, ,0Oo,O 900 was ad-
xanced to France before the armistice
and $1,O27,477,So0 after the signing of
the armistice.
Interest which has accumulated dur
ing the years since these loans were
made totaled $50, ,040 ,904, and another
ss73 900 900 will be due by November /.
The interest is figured at ) per cent.
France has paid interest OH the s407,-
300 900 debt for war supplies at 5 per
cent.
., IN the funding operation which is
now undertaken all the debts will
he Jumped, and France will begin pay
ing principal and interest on the whole
under the terms agreed to by the two
governments. If the whole principal
and the accumulated interest are
placed in one sum they will amount to
about $4,000, 100000.
The expectation is, however. that
there will be a reduction in the accu-
mulated interest to be paid by France,
AS was the case in the funding of the
British and Belgian and other war
debts in this country. The original
principal sum, however, will eventu-
ally be paid in full.
The French on former occasions
have urged that the entire accumu-
lated interest should be wiped out.
Dispatches from the steamship Paris,
bearing the French mission to the
United States, indicate that NJ. Gail
laux, minister of finance. is prepared
to agree to steps by this country look
ing to the immediate reduction of the
principal, without seeking morato-
rum, although the payments may be
graduated so as to be easier in the
earlier years.
The United States will bear in mind,
IL has been clearly intimated, the ca
pacity of France to make payments,
and every effort will be made by the
Americans to make the debt payment
as easy as possible.
