q WILLIAM <. HUTCHINSON

By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON
The long deferred battle over
ratifying the Italian war debt
settlement VIII be opened in the
Senate this week-probably Thurs
day-it was announced today by
Senator Smoot (R.l Of Utah,
member Of the American debt
commission.
Administration leaders are high.
~ optimistic, as private poll
of the Senate has indicated the
settlement win be ratified by =
vote of at least IS to 40.
Battle Is Assured
A vigorous opposition to the
settlement however will be con-
Quoted by the Progressive bloc,
aided by some western Democrats
The bloc, under leadership of
Senator Norris tR.l of Nebraska,
will attack the pact as a gift
OF. hundreds of millions Of dollars
to Italy.
Their fight viii be supported by
statistics showing that the pact
allows Italy either to pay off her
original debt over period OF sixty
two years, without any interest, or
to pay a normal interest rate for
the same period without ever re-
funding any of the principal debt,
which amounted to $1,64S, O34, 050
With accrued interest, recognized
in the settlement, the amount
totals $2,042, 600. 900.
The attitude of the Democrats as
a whole is still clouded with uncer-
tainty. AT first, the party planned
to fight the settlement tooth and
nail, but recently a number Of prom
inent Democratic Senators, includ-
ing Glass of Virginia. Bruce of
Maryland. and King of Utah, have
announced they would probably
support the Administrators terms.
In the absence of Senator Robin
son Of Arkansas, minority leader,
other party spokesman would not
discuss the subject.
Sm0ot to Lead Fight
To the Progressive war talk and
the Democratic uncertainty, Senator
Shoots only reply was: There is
no oouDI out that the DEBT settle
ment will be ratified. 1t will be
approved by the Senate with a
weeks debate"
In support Of his optimism, Smoot
called attention to a private poll
of the Senate, which gave II Re-
publicans and Is Democrats as fav-
orable TO the pact, with Is Repub-
lcans, "a Democrats and one
Farmer-Laborite as opposed.
Eve have gained more converts
since that poll was TAKEN" Smoot
added. 1.-THE opponents can't pos
sibly get Is Republicans to vote
against the settlement, and before
the debate ends there may not be
20 Democrats against it."
Slnoot himself will open the fight
with a long speech, explaining In
detail why the settlement was made
on the existing terms.

Venerable Lady Visits Old
Friends and Old Church
Mrs. Julia Tubbs of California, Only
Living Charter Member of Sank
Centre Congrega tional Church

Mrs. Julia Tubbs of Los Angeles,
CAL, was a visitor at the C. w.
Bryant home in Hoboken over the
week end. She will be remembered
as one of the pioneers of pre- Stock
ade days who lived for many years
here in Sank Centre, her husband be-
ing THE first school teacher. In con-
nection with her visit here Mrs.
Tubbs attended the morning service
at the Congregational church. She
is the only living charter member of
that organization being one of the
group who gathered in January 1867
to organize the church.
Mrs. Tubbs still retains her in
terest in it and looks forward with
keen enjoyment to her visit to the
old church home. AT the service ON
Sunday the pastor, Rev. Cecil S.
Sparkes, made fitting remarks con-
corning her visit and what it meant
to the church to have her with them
and on behalf of the church asked
her to accept basket of flowers as
symbol of their love and apprecia-
ton, the presentation was graciausly
made by Miss Dorothy Larson. Mrs.
Tubbs although 90 years of age made
most fitting reply in the course of
which she salad she knew what the
feelings in the hearts of the Arabs
must have been as they journeyed
across the desert towards Mecca the
home of their religion. She said this
church had always been her spiritual
home and her visits to it always
brought her much joy. She rejoiced
in what it had accomplished in the
past and in the bright promise of the
future; she rejoiced that others We're
still carrying on the work commenced
so many years ago and she finished
with the words of the Apostle Paul
sI have fought a coed fight, / have
finished the course, kept the faith,
henceforth there Is laid mp for me
crown of Righteousness which the
Lord will give me in that day, and
not to me only but to all those who
love Him.. It was a most gracious
word coming spontaneously from one
who had lived through the hard end
struggling times which marked the
early beginnings of the church life
in this community, and those who

this year. Their machinery will re-
main on the ground, and under the
contract the paving is to. be finish
ed and opened not later than July 1,
next year.
In discussing this proposed paving
with the Sank Centre Highway COM
mittee some weeks ago Mr.. Babcock
said next years literature would not
indicate any "Detour" on No. 3 be-
tween Albany and Freeport as the
old route between the two towns will
be used while the paving is being laid.
The contract for grading No. 8
between Sank Centre and West I'm
ion 6.2 miles, was awarded to Ira
A Cox, Sioux Falls, S. D., at $780,
500; two bridges were let to the Min
nesota Western Construction Co.,
Minneapolis, at $4,549 and $4,931,
respectively. The culvert contract
was awarded to the Morris Construc-
ton Co. at $3,203.
Mr.. Cox was also awarded the
contract for g. miles of grading
betweent West Union and Osakis at
$31, 1859. The culverts We're award
ed to the Morris Construction Co.
at $4,000.
There will be no Detour on No.
while this grading is beeing built as
the route has been materially chang
ed. 1t will continue to 60 west on
Third street across the Great North
ern tracks and will reach the south
side of G. N. tracks by crossing the
O'Brien property at the east end of
Hoboken. It will follow the G. N.
right of way to a point abou t two
miles east of West Union where it
will be tied up to that stretch of road
south of the right of way built "a few
years ago.
The nasty railroad crossing west
of the G. N. depot at West Union will
be eliminated and the No. 3 will fol-
low the right of way on the south
side of the track into the village
of Osakis and a railroad cross
ing will be eliminated there also.
The beautiful drive along lake Osa-
kis. has been sacrificed for practical
bility and saving of distance.
District Engineer C. II. West call
ed at the Herald office Monday and
gave out the information that work
on the grading will be started this
fall and pushed as rapidly as posi-
ble..
The plans of the Highway depart
ment are to push the paving of No.
as far west as Alexandria at least
within the next two year period.
Sank Centre can be said to- be "sit-
ting on top of the world as far as
modern highways are concerned.
The last strip of paving between
Albany and Avon was opened few
days ago. All of the shouldering has
not been built but traffic is only be-
ing slightly Inconvenience.
