BANKS FOR LOAN
EMBARGO END
BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH

BY ROBERT 8. THORNBURGH
Strong pressure is being brought
to bear on the Government for the
removal OF the embargo on loans
to France.
Announcement that France will
begin debt payments to the United
States, without waiting for ratifica-
ton of the Mellon Berrenger agree
ment, Is expected to strengthen the
position of New York bankers who
are reported to be anxious to make
large flotations of French bonds in
the American investment field. Rep.
resentatives Of the large banks
already have conferred with Secre
tary of State Kellogg and Secretary
Mellon concerning the possibility.
The bankers declared that money
was being loaned to London bankers
at from to per cent and re.
placed by the British in Paris at
from to per cent. Some New
York bankers feel that they should
be getting this profit, and they feel
confident that even without debt
ratification the embargo eventually
win be lifted provided the French
continue to make debt payments.

CHAPTER XII.

Bruce Richardson looked upon
lie with an understanding and
wistful eye, wishing that he might
participate actively in the human
drama, yet not knowing how.
For one thing, Fate had been very
kind to him-or very unkind.. The
.bluest of blood coursed through his
veins; there had been left to him
an income which guaranteed his
modest material requirements. He
had been protected and sheltered
as a child. youchsafed a care and
attention which did not help his
naturally delicate constitution. esa4
There had been college, of course,
but even there Brueh Richardson
had been the spectator rather than
the participant. He was the boy OF
whom all classmates spoke gently,
but he was never invited to partici-
pate in their revelries. Yet when
troubles presented themselves, it
was to Bruce Richardson that the
others turned for counsel. His thin
ascetic face had a way of lighting
up his eyes would smile sympa-'
thetically, and he would dispense
advice unerringly accurate.
His vision was crystal clear. He
saw life so clearly that he could
not become OF it. 1t was as though
he existed in a world of his own
creation because the actual world
repealed him. Yet he was in no
slightest sense effeminate. Men and
women liked him-when they no.
ticed him. They liked him--when
he was needed. For the rest he
was a part of. the background: de-
pendable, friendly, intelligent, visit
full.
And SO Bruce Richardson had
been an intimate in the Borden
home since he and Lois had trudg-
ed to public school together. Peter
Borden entertained toward the
young man genuine fondness and
a profound respect. With Bruce he
had discussed his plans for Bob
Terry when it first became known

that Terry was to be shunted back
into the everyday world as brutally
as he had been snatched from it.
Bruce understood. He always I'M
derstood. He had been the first
outsider to greet the sunken-eyed
young man with the pallid cheeks,
the stopped shoulders and the ryth-
mic beat-beat manner of walking.
His handclasp had been firm and
his glance direct, but Bob Terry
was Indifferent. At first, Richard
son affected him negatively: just
another person from another world
talking another language.
But if Bob had not noticed Bruce
Richardson, the reverse was not
true. Bruce's quiet brown eyes
had observed the drama which was
eliminating within drama. And if
he was worried, it was only natural.
One cannot enjoy the spectacle Of
watching the woman one loves be-
come too, greatly interested in an
other man.
They were seated in the living

Terry came down stairs and took
his hat from the hall closet. And
when he would have passed from
the house without a word, Lois
called to him, her face taking on an
animation which Richardson would
have given half his life to inspire.

when queried as to the lineup he
will start against st. Johns College

opening game Of the year. The
players who fight the hardest and
hustle the longest viii be the ones
who will be used" he continued.
"Theren be no let down this sea-
son. Just as soon az any player on
this squad starts to loaf he'll turn in
his uniform and that will be the
end of him, so far IS his chances Of
making the Alexandria High team
this fall are concerned.
The trouble with most high
school players today is that they are
inclined to loaf once they think they
have made their mark, The men on
my squad are going to be different
from that type if I can possibly
make them be different. Give me
an energetic boy who is anxious to
play and learn football and I'll
choose him every time in preference
to the fellow who knows how to
play, but who loafs when he gets
the chance"

as a criterion the team that faces St

will fight the "Johnnies" at all
