STRONG IN LONDON
 TALKS ID NORMAN
Accord in International Re
 lationS Seen

London, Dec. l6.-P-Great Brit aims payment of f1s,b15, 900 froughly $92,575. 5.Oo0) to the United States on its debt account had no effect on the money market. ss ar engagements were automatically made for the transference of funds as they became due.
 Tho money market, however. is considerably interested in what will be tho fruit of a meeting here be- tween Benjamin Strong. Governor of New York Federal Reserve bank, and Montague Norman, head of the Bank of England. Observers are re- calling in this connection a meeting between the heads of these two AGy institutions in America last July.
 The effect of their July meeting was observed in various directions, notably In the improvement of the sterling exchange rate at time of the year when 1t ordinarily declines through payments to America for gold from New York to Argentina which ordinarily would have gone from London.
 Another indication of previously formulated plans in connection with the debt payments is seen in the re- cent shipments of gold from New York to London.
 Among many speculations In the money market as to why these ship ments are being made Is the belief that they may be utilized for the purpose of stabilzins the French franc or to build up the reserve of the bank of England to allow a re- duction Of the bank rate early in the new year as well as to assist in the transfer Of the currency note issue from the treasury to tbe Bank Of England.
 The BaIlk of England has had a tight control of the money market all tho time that these unusual movements have been in progress and kept the open market discount rates up to make the bank rate ef- fective.
 The Evening Standard under stands Mir, Strong and Mir. Norman are considering the effect of a move ment started in New York against the export of gold from the United States. The newspaper says the con- ferences may result in either q rise or a lowering of the Bank of Eng land rate.
 MT. Strong's meetings with Mir. Norman are expected to be followed by series of conferences between the American banker and the heads Of national banks on the continent,

SOCIALIST DEPUTY A
LAVISH ENTERTAINER

PARIS, March 26 R-Champagne
and fine pastries are affecting the
socialistic reputation of Fernand
Bouisson, president of the chamber
of deputies.
Bouisson is the richest socialist
in French politics.
The popular idea here that social
ism is synonymous with poverty and
that the theory must be visualized
by shabbiness, is getting quite a
shock
When Bouisson, who is given a
palace by the government, gave his
first reception, it was marvel of
rich food, costly drink and elaborate
decoration.
All the cabinet ministers were there,
including BRAND who abhors society's
entertainments. III Ht@i
He's nice, Bouisson," whispered
Rriand to Andre Tardieu, who isn't
a socialist.
Eyes, indeed answered Tardieu,

France Has 1900
Blind Musicians

PARIS, March 26 Q9 = Twelve
hundred blind persons earn their
living as musicians in. France and
among them are players of note.
These blind musicians were edu-
Gated in the National Institution For
the Young Blind. They were taught
to play for distraction, but Valentin
Hauy, their leader, showed them how
music might make them Independent.
Eight organists of large Paris
churches, including Notre Dame, are
blind. There are among these several
composers and many conductors of
small orchestras.
The old theory that the blind have
a peculiar aptitude for music, say
directors of the school, has not been
proved by their experience, but they
have found that the blind do well
in music, probably because they
are able to concentrate and because
their misfortune spurs them to un-
usual efforts.

MILLIONAIRE CENSUS
DROPS In GERMANY

BERLIN, March 26 (R-The num-
ber of millionaires in Germany has
decreased rs per cent since the war,
the Reich's finance ministry reports.
There were 15,547 persons in 1913
who were worth 100000 marks
(about $250,000) or more, while only
1000 are in that class today. Only
54 persons, including the former
Emperor William II and the heads
OF several provincial ruling houses,
own property and securities valued
at 1O,O0O,O 900 marks or more. In 1918
there were 367. William II is con-
ceded to be one of the nations
wealthiest men, with an income of
more than $1,O00,000 a year from
estates and investments.
The initiation period not only wiped
out large fortunes, but reduced by

The occupant lunches over the table

while his opponent comes back to the
table and duplicates the performance.
The clocks mark off the time con-

hours it is continued on future date.
Move-by-move accounts of the

the games are published in book

OLD GERMAN FAMILY
SPLIT BY POLITICS

BERLIN, March 26 GA hot family
feud has broken out in one of the
most aristocratic and blue blooded
families of Germany-the Won Rich
thofens.
Baron Hartmann Won Richthofen,
former imperial counsel of legation,
has turned republican and now is
democratic member of the Reichstag.
AS such he opposed the millions given
to the Hohenzollerns under the
settlement bill.
From time to time Baron Richthofen
attacks the nobility, especially the
land junkers. This has so enraged
other members of the Won Richthofen
family that they are urging him to
renounce his title of baron, which,
however, he declines to do, believing
that he can make himself more eff
fective by retaining it.
Recently the baron was attacked
in an open letter in the Kreuzzeitung,
the monarchist organ of the conserva-
tives, by Baron e. Won Richthofen,
who adjures Baron Hartmann by
his fathers memory not to bring
such disgrace upon an ancient and
honored family as to denounce the
royal family through whose favors
the Richthofen house rose to fame
and power.

riers who are compelled to climb
stairs day in and day out, even in

Germany are to have an easier time

have accepted the proposal of an
advertising agency to install individual
letter boxes in the ground floor of

of selling advertising space on the
boxes, which, unlike the neat built-in
metal cases common in the United
