FRANCE FINDS OLD WAR
DEBT AGAINST ENGLAND
Recalls Huge Unpaid Obligations
of Interned Prisoners in
Napoleonic Days.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 5.-France has
dug another war debt out of dusty
history.
If this century-old bill, due from the
English, were to be paid, il is calcu.
lated the amount, compounded, would
provide fortune of about a hundred
million francs for every man, woman
and child in the heroic city of Yer
dun
One periodical suggests the collec.
ton OF the debt ought to be pressed
and used as an offset against what
Britain claims from France for the
loans or the last war
The new debt, or rather the old one.
dates back 10 the Napoleonic wars.
Several hundred British were informed
in Verdun Curing those troublous
days, from 1903 to 1914. The prisoners
were of the upper classes and enter
tanned lavishly. Their credit was good
and after they We're gone the French
authorities discovered the debts they
neglected to settle amounted to 1884
S74 francs. Mathematicians have COM
puted that compound interest would
run this up to the hundred million
mark for every inhabitant Of Verdun,
counting the debt in gold and it's value
today in paper money.
