 While Carley has only four pounds on hs Connecticut opponent he has height and reach, but this is in part offset by the fine f8otwerk of the Nut meg State boy The judges decision met with approval, for there was no question but that Che Bay Stater had the better of the last three minutes.

 At the start the boys went into q clinch and each hammered away until the referee broke them. They cxehang- ed slaps and elinched again. Carley got over weak right to the head and Tourain weak right to the jaw and again they went into clinch. They were sparing as the bell rang.
 In the second round they spared and clinched and spared and elinched again Then there was an even ex- change as they again came into a elineh.
 Tourain got over two lefts to the head but Carley also landed and then they wrestled. There were no telling blows struck in this raea;!. and it was bit tame.

 The necessity for the change has long been recognized. Plans had been drawn up, but owing to lack of funds they seemed doomed to slumber in- definitely in their pigeon holes until Andre Tardieu, Minister of Public Works, had the idea of using Frances rights under the Dawes plan. By the program drawn up by M. Tardieu, a large part of the work will be carried out by Germany industry under the heading of payment in kind, and the rest by French industry.

Far from advertising their ability
to clip wornen's hair, the BARRIERS in
towns like Kiel or Ploen display
beautiful braids and curls in their
shop windows as an inducement to
women whose hair is scant to pad
their natural crop.
The women are up to the minute

and silk stockings, and they subscribe
to fashion journals as avidly as do
their sisters in the rest OF Germany.

FRANCE DECLARED
sPAST INFLUENCE
!. OF u. S. MONEY
Curt Spurning of Arms Invi-
tation Taken as Service
of Notice.
Times WASHINGTON Bureau.
fR22 ARE YORK. a iyPnMf


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The
curt French invitation to Uncle Sam
to join the League of Nations as a
preliminary to further disarmament
discussion is a declaration of finan-
cial independence from the United
States.
This is the view expressed by mem
bers of the Institute of Economics
Who have been conducting extensive
Investigations in international
finance and reconstruction.
Notice to World
The fact that France, without sign
ing an American debt agreement and
in the face of an American boycott
on loans, has dismissed Coolidge's
disarmament proposal can only be
construed, they state, as notice to
the world that the French are row.
ing their own ship of state.
Six months ago 1t was being gen.
orally predicted by international
in this country, including
representatives of the Treasury De-
partment, that France could only
save herself from complete economic
disaster by signing an American debt
agreement, and thus removing the
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-02-18

restrictions on American loans to
that country.
The franc was declining at a reck-
less rate and the country seemed
on the brink of ruin, with only loan
power of the United States as re-
lief.
Without signing debt agreement
and without signifying any inten-
ton of doing so, the franc has been
stabilized and the country brought
back toward an even economic keel.
Having made remarkable progress
toward economic recovery without
American help, the view here is that
the French are now giving general
notice that Uncle Sans money
power no longer alarms them and
tempers their decisions on internal
and foreign policy.
Change in Six Months
Six months ago it is generally con-
ceded France would not have dared
to irritate the United States by a
snappy refusal to discuss disarma-
ment, child welfare, baseball, or most
anything else the United States
wanted to discuss.
Now, having braved American
financial wrath and weathered the
storm of initiation without American
aid, the situation is entirely altered,
and the French are their normal,
cocky selves again.
That the repercussions of the
French reply on the Coolidge dis
armament note will be louder in the
financial markets than in the ship
building yards is regarded as a fore.
gone conclusion.
