MAYORS BOARDS
 COMPLETE SOON
Expect That Reorganization
 Will Be Over in October

The organization of Mayor Gard ner C. Weld's official familys, will probably be completed by October l. when the chairmanship of the board of assessors and a change in the position Of the plumbing inspector is made, it was learned at the mayors office this morning.
 This will be the close of the first half year of his term of office, dur tnS which he has made changes in personnel of nearly every board. He made a change in every position of the police board, in three out of the four fire board positions, in five of the six positions on the board of public works, made a clean sweek Of the building commission, and several changes on the board of compensation and assessment, the health board, the board of public charities, the city planning commls- sion and the park board:
 The last commission to be- reor- ganized, the board Of assessors, will be taken care in September or the first part of October. It is expected that the present chairman, Frank Zimmerman, will be replaced by Ex- pert Assessor Thomas Linder, which will make necessary change in one of the other two positions on the board, which are now held by 1Adolph Carlson and Frank Dzizek. Since the law requires that there be two of one party and one of an- other, 1t is necessary that one of the present holders be replaced by a democratic member. It is rumored that Frank Dzizek, who was ap- pointed during the administration of ex-Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa, will be asked to resign. although nothing official has been announced. In or der that the chairmanship of this : board be given to a, republican. the mayor must ask for the resignation of two of it's members unless the present chairman, MT. Zimmerman, is kept on in another position.
 .- Although the mayor indicated that there would be a change in the : plumbing inspector position he de- clared that it was not because of po- iitical reasons that he was making the change and asked that this re- port be corrected. Questioned this afternoon as to the changes in the plumbing department, A. P. Leavitt said that nothing will be done about that at present and that reports Of the removal of Phillip J. Tormay did not come from him.

REGRETS BRINGING UP DEBT SQUABBLE
British CommOner Speaks
 Chamberlain Makes Reply

London, Aug. 4. P- Foreign Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain today supported the very temper ate and very courteous explanation" recently made in the House of Com mons by Chancellor of the EX- chequer Churchill regarding the circumstances in which and the pur- poses for which the British govern- ment borrowed money from the United States government after the entry of the United States into the war"
 The foreign secretary made his reference to MT. Churchills ex- planation during the debate on the Angle American debt settlement. e. The debate was initiated by Cap tain William Wedgwood Benn. Lib eral. who declared he thought it unfortunate that the exchequer, in defiance of propriety, was drawn in controversy with Mr. Mellon (the American secretary of the treasury) and that -afterward he broadcast challenge to Senator Borah." .. II. ;.
 Captain Benn thought the people of England did not want to go to America and ask to be let off from their debt. He asserted that in re- cent years causes of misunderstood ing between America and England had been removed, notably by the Washington agreement, the Irish settlement, and the liquor negotia- tions.
 The foreign secretary joined with Captain Benn in the hope that the friendship of the two great nations would not be impaired by "an ill., tempered or injudicious public con- froversy."
 At the outset. Sir Austin said he was glad to notice that Captain Benn had found nothing to which to take exception in MT. Churchilps ex- planation to the House regarding
 
 Great Britain had borrowed from America.
 My right honorable friend tMr ChurchilD thought, and though rightly. that it was not in the in terests of good relations that sucl an impression should arise. ol should be given currency and form because no notice was taken and he accordingly stated the facts correctly.
 MT. Churchill never complained and made it clear that he did no complain, of the terms of the set tlement to which we agreed wltf the United States. Captain Benn right in saying that we borrowed money from the United States fol the purposes of war in which the! and we were engaged. and that VI gave our promise to pay 10 tht United States government.
 fThere is not man in this coun try, I am confident, who, if he hat to decide the question. shall I homo the promise of my country when am called upon to do so,' shoult not have replied as Premier Bald win and his government of that da. did: of. course Great Britain vii honor its word.
