VIEWS
ON DEBTS COURSE
Envoy Sees No Objection to
Law Permitting Delay
in Collection.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The French Ambassador ofdcially In
formed the State Department today
that his government had no objection
to adoption by Congress of legislation
to permit poStponement Of the collec-
ton of the $400,000,000 war supplies
debt August /, in the event the French
Parliament should ratify the Mellon
Berenger debt agreement before that
date.
Treasury officials recently pointed out
to the Ambassador that should the
French ratify the agreement and the
American Congress fail to do so the
American Government still would be
forced to call for collection.
The American officials assured the
French Ambassador that If Premier
Poincare intended to press the ratiflca-
ton of the Mellon-Berenger agreement,
which includes the liquidation of the
$400, 000,0 900 obligation, legislation would
be offered in Congress postponing the
collection of this part Of the debt.
1t is expected the legislation, how
ever, will only provide for the post
ponement If the French actually ratify
the complete agreement before August !.
The Ambassador also indicated to the
State Department that the Poincare
government hopes to press the ratifica-
ton of the debt agreement before the
first of August and thus eliminate the
necessity of then paying the 100000
600.

prohibition unit in Washington and
Baltimore. Wolf charges deSertion

of three children.
Kitty first came into prominence
here through her prohibition work in
night clubs and roadhouSes, where she
was able to gain entrance when male
agents failed. She attended the various
cabarets with male agents brought from
other cities. The buys" she made in
this fashion resulted in raids later.

1t was in the second period wher
Western, after apparently. getting Its
bearings, suffered the toughest
break of the series. Draper, who
had rushed across the only West END
touchdown, was engaged in ho'
scrimmage when Millar, team
mate, accidentally kicked him in the
face.
The big Western fullback, with
claret streaming from broken nose,
was removed from the game and
rushed to Garfield Hospital, and
Millar, the offender, tried gallantly
to atone for his error.
Although the slender cut-back
specialist, who started the game
with three broken ribs, gave
everything he had in dead
game third quartet stand, the
Georgetown school was worn
down and routed in that mOmen-
tous final chapter.
Draper was not the only casualty
to take a count before the warning
football troopers. Charley Millar
Eastern's gilt-edged quarterback
also was sent down for the count
with twisted right knee early in the
game and failed to return to action.
Although nothing official could
he had, it was learned today that
both Ieathermen will probably
be out for the year, although
Millar will attempt to do a come
back i'm the Central game. the
last interhigh meeting on East
ern's schedule.
To Eastern's credit it must be
said that Mike Kelley produced a
greatly improved machine over
that which flopped so dismally be-
fore Tech recently. For one thing
the high.powered backfield, which
was checked emphatically by the
Tech defense, functioned to perfec-
tion while superior line was also
in motion.
Mccullough was particularly bril-
liant. spearing two passes which re-
suited in touchdowns during the
last quarter and breaking away for
repeated end runs which netted sub
stantial gains.
Oxley, too, hit his stride and
more than atoned for his inability
to get going in previous series con-
flicts. He first brought the fans
to their feet when he got away
for a 96.yard run around left end
after muffing a punt in the first
quarter while his passes, in that
final section, were both accurate
and timely.
Westerns HaIfback
Millar, who was Handicapped by
broken ribs, horned in for a
share of the glory. After his mates
had pulled within the short end OF
q 1875 score in the second chapter
the reed.like back stepped off so
yards in the third semester to de-
posit the leather on Eastern's IS
yard stripe. That his comrades
could do no more was no fault of
his.
Oxley's 96-yard dash around left
end after muffing Draper's punt in
the initial quarter started Eastern
off on it's scoring barrage while Mil
lar climaxed another rush shortly
afterward when he raced 35 yards
around left end for another six
counter. Both drop-kicks for the
point were missed.
