ENGLAND CANCELS
HALF ITALIAN DEBT
Terms of $4,000. 900 a Year,
Total of f272,25O,OOO,
Declared Generous.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, January 2S.-Italy has
settled her war debt to Great Britain
by agreeing to pay, roughly. f4,0O0.o00
annually for O. years. a total of f2T2.
100000 Isl $4,000. 000). This was re-
vealed by publication of the terms OF
the agreement signed by Count Nolpi,
Italian minister of finance. and Win
Ston Churchill. British chancellor Of
the EXchequer.
The agreement provides also for
Great Britain's concurrent repayment
of the gold deposited by Italy in the
Bank of England in 1875, amounting
to f22, 900. 900, as security for war
loans.
The total Italy must pay is in effect
less than half her admitted debt of
fo92 100000 S2,S71 .000.000l. and the
terms accorded by England therefore
are regarded more generous than
those Italy obtained at Washington.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-01-28
First Payment February -.

The first payment of f2,00000o is to
be made February - next. Thereafter
installments are to be paid according
to the following schedules: "a 900 900
annually for two years: fi.250 900 an
nually for four years. and thenceforth
$4,000, 900 annually until the final year.
when a payment of f2.250O0O will
close the account.
Italy's f22.000,000 gold deposit
against the war loans will be repaid
beginning in the fiscal year 1929 in
eight installments of fl,250. 900 each
and after these eight years in annual
installments of f191. 900 until Sep
TENDER Is, 1887. Great Britain will pay
no interest on the Italian gold. Italy's
payments to Britain will be semi-an-
nually. on March Is and September 5.
Only in obtaining immediate pay
ments has Great Britain obtained any
advantage over Americas settlement
with Italy. since the United States
has to wait several years for the in
Stallments to begin and the grade of
rising payments is lower The agree
ment which was signed today, the
fruit of two weeks of negotiation.
promises very little benefit for the
British taxpayer for the creditor has
agreed to terms almost so per cent
under it's original demand. and the
payments receivable from italy will

MILLIONS Of Americans chew gum,
most of them simply because they enjoy
doingit, though considerable proportion
have discovered that the stimulated flow
of saliva aids digestion. 1t is well known
TO many that chewing gum provides
the best possible means of administering
certain ingredients, gradually and in
manner which insures their thorough
assimilation without burdening the sys-
tenn. The most remarkable discovery,
however, in regard to chewing gum as
the perfect means of administering for
specific purposes, undoubtedly is the
preparation known as "SILPH." This
is a delicious, refreshing chewing gum
which from many letters received. takes
off fat in most pleasant way without
any discomfort or i'll effects.
The reducing elements in "SILPH"
are provided by special formula in
Guiding the extracts Of certain sea plants
and herbs. Not until the perfecting Of
"SILPH." however, was the ideal man
ner of administering them provided.

Whether you are 16 or go you
must march with your regiment.
When all the world is talking about
slender women--for slender women
mean clever women-you are fall
ing by the wayside unnoticed if you
are too fat to keep up with the other
marchers.
Personally, after a woman is 30,
I do not like her to have "a boyish
figure" for that means that she is
under-nourished or over-nervous.
I hear some women say: up to
date. Mrs. Gibson, you have been
talking OF eating too much food. You
have said that it is a good thing to
be hungry, and now you have turned
about face and talk of under-nourish-
ment."
You must remember, dear critics.
that a woman can live on her own
fat for a long time. After that. by
judicious experiments, she can find
out just how much food will keep
her at the weight she desires and
eat only that much.
