FRENCH DEBT SETTLEMENT

President Butler of Columbia University fears that the refusal of the United States to cancel all portion of the French debt may have the effect of further tuang the hatred of Europe for America In other words President Butler takes the stand that it is better to sacr flee principle and purchase European friendship than adhere to the original idea that just debt just debt
 Paradoxical it may seem, every time university professor ntrudes his ideas into national affairs chaos fol- lows Ths evidenced when President Wilson sought to overnight Europes centuries of ills with his four teen points, These utopian theories all right in the abstract but time has given proof that they have place in the European horzon especially that of the continent where strife warfare and ockeyng for power have been the paythings of nations since time mmemorial
 When the question of debt liquidation was decided, Great Britain in contrast to France and Italy, placing her honor above sordd dollars accepted the situation and immediately prepared to fulfill it's obligations. Not France. Assuming the role of who had been the injured party, she seeks to repay Americas sacrifice in blood and money Tn aspersiOns against what she terms our money grasping ethics.
 Thus we have the ironical situation of the United States and Great Britain saving beigerent and warov ing nation, whose very history is written in blood and iron, from annhilaton by equally gloryseeng enemy, and receiving in return the demand that they pay the cost and thus allow France to proceed with her mperalstc ideas and divert money that might be paid upon her ob gatiOnS to these ambitions.
 President Butler and his European-tainted cohorts are not the government of the United States but only small portion of it's citzenry The fact that he is the president of great seat of learning should have weight It Is not how much learning may acquire from university, but what he learns The hitherto con- sldered greatest seats of earng which today court ed by Americans with the price, teach anything but de- mocracy as it affects the average citizen
 The average creditor is willing to write off debt to profit and loss whenever shown that the debtor unable to pay First he demands this evidence of honest intent What he may do afterWard is another matter. When France assumes this attitude it is time to consider the question of whether she is entitled to clemency.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MIAMI, Fla. December 6.-The
body of Mrs. w. F. Miller, wife Of a
Miami banker, was entombed Satur-
day in solid block of concrete, with
out a coffin.
Mrs. Miller. donor of a $3.000.0o0
educational fund administered by a
Methodist church here, had expected
death daily for seven years and had
expressed a wish for such a burial.
AS her body lay today in the church,
on a cot amid a bed of flowers. her
husband delivered the. funeral address
Each morning since the physi-
clans gave their warning seven
years ago, I looked to see whether
death had claimed my loved one," he
said Naturally we talked of It..
Then, several years ago, Mrs. Miller
read to me of the excavation at Pom
peii, where the form of a Roman
sentinel had been found just as he
had stood centuries before at the time
of his death. The body had been
sealed in rock.
I'VE agreed that when death came
her body should be placed on slab
of concrete and concrete should be
poured over it until a huge monolith
had been formed, So that even If the
body returned to dust the form would
remain the same in the center of this
block"
This was done. The monolith, s
feet wide, IL feet long, and 8 feet
high, now stands in the city ceme-
terry, surmounted by bronze bust of
Mrs. Miller.
