Il ON PREPARATIONS ]
Mills Announces Treasury
! Has Made No Departure
From Debt Policy.

4y the Associated Press.
The American Governments policy
Of holding reparations and war debt
payments separate is being retained.
Undersecretary Mills said yesterday
there had been no departure by tire
Treasury from the policy toward foreign
Indebtedness to the United States ap-
proximately $l1, 900 600 900. His state
ment came shortly after that of Under
secretary Castle of the State Depart
ment in which Castle said that while his
department adhered to the established
policy, should an acute situation arise,
the question Of revising It's attitude
would be considered as a new issue.
The subject of war debts and repa-
rations assumed renewed prominence in
international circles following the recent
of the Young plan of reparations pay
ments was needed to tighten her fiscal
burden.
Visit ArOuses Speculation.
The departure of Secretary Mellon
for Europe and the visit there Secretary
Stimson plans to make this month
aroused considerable speculation, de-
spite assurances from both officials that
no Government business was contem-
plated.
Only recently Mellon said, in address
ing group of foreign bankers, that
under the Young plan and the CO.
ordinating influences of the Bank of
International Settlements. confidence
has been established in the willingness
and ability of Europe to honor its obli-
cations, whether these be debts arising
out of the war or out of the CONNER
cial undertakings started in the post
war period
While Acting Secretary Mills did not
amplify his statement, it was inter-
preted by observers as intended to as
sure the foreign governments as well
as the American public that there had
been no deviation in policy
On the other hand, Castles state
ment was interpreted as meaning that
no action toward q revision Of policy
could be contemplated until the Amer
dcan Government considered the Euro
pean situation as acute. Castle ex-
pressed the opinion that this stage had
was given as to what the department
might accept as crisis that could re-
suit in change of policy.
Creditors Willing for Conference.
Creditors of Germany have indicated
O willingness to call an international
conference to revise the Young plan.
This would leave the way open for the
United States to join in the delibera-
tions. However, the American Gov
ernment did not participate in the
Young plan conferences. American
bankers, at the invitation of European
governments, aided materially in for
mulating the plan.
Germany's payments to the former
European allies coincide with the war
debt payments of the latter to this
government. The reparations payments
are made to the Bank of International
Settlements, created by the Young plan.
They are then credited to the recipient
nations, and payments to the United
States are made from these credits.
A total Of $111,S3S,541 in war debt
payments was received Monday from
13 nations. OF this, $19,962,525 was
applied to the principal and the re-
n1ainder was for interest.

FROG RAISING ID BE ANCHORAGE INDUSTRY:
 SHIPMENT RECEIVED

Raising frogs for the market is a new industry which is to be given a trial in the Anchorage dis trict. An initial shipment of the croakers reached Anchorage re- gently, consigned to Frank Shank, who has arranged to carry on his experiment at Green Lake, on the homestead of Emil Savola. The frogs were shipped from the state of Washington by MT. Shank'S father, and came through to An chorage apparently none the worse for their long ocean and rail trip.
 The frogs have been turned loose in Green Lake and will be care fully guarded there until they be- come used to their new surround ingS. And in this connection MT. Shank is appealing to the boys of the Anchorage community to as sist him in his experiment by not disturbing the frogs during the time they are establishing them selves in their new home. There were 30 bullfrogs in the shipment and it is the hope of MT. Shank that within a few years there will be so many he will be able to make a large annual harvest.
 Mr. Shank is not sure that the frogs will prove useful as exterm- inators of mosquitoes, but that is one phase of the experiment that will be watched with no small interest, according to the Anchor age Times.

She gave Susan a daily bath, busted
her with talcum powder, washed her
eyes with boric acid, sterilized her bot
tie, fed her on schedule, and gave her
cod liver oil and sunray baths to pre-
vent ricketts,.
Susan thrived on the rate of pound
gain per week and grew so lionlike at
10 weeks she had to be sent back to
the zoo-partly because of her hatred for
radio sopranos. She spat, yowled and
slit cushions and couch coverings with
her claws when she heard one.

ings were almost at the mercy of the rabble if
they saw fit to exercise mob rule, and it was
not long afterward that a police guard was
provided, but exclusively for night service, and
paid for out of the Federal Treasury-strange
to say.
During the debate in the Senate to appoint
the guard, 1t Is related that Senator Crittenden
opposed the bill, particularly that portion which
provided for a badge and baton as marks of
the distinction. 1T is nothing these 16 men,"
he is reported to have said, but praetorlan
band Rome admonished how such small
numbers increase to multitudes." Continuing,
he predicted that it would not be long before
the President would be surrounded by body
guard of uniformed men, and tharit was the
duty of the lovers of liberty to destroy this at
tempt to introduce a new element of danger
at the National Capital.
One Of the best known newspaper men CT
his day.. A. Gobright-in his "Recollections,"
printed in 1869, referring to Senator Critten-
denis remarks has this to say:
"The prediction has been verified to this
extent: That out of the Auxiliary Guard has
grown the Metropolitan Police-a battalion as
to number, and commanded by a major with
all the lower grades of military officers-a force
uniformed, carrying batons openly, and re-
volvers concealed in their trousers pockets"
RAcK in 1881 John H. Goddard who was
= appointed the first captain Of the Auxiliary
Guard, pursuant to the act Of Congress, spoke
of the cause which led up to the forming of
the guard, and of events Of that period He
said:
THAT year Congress passed law granting
a recharter to the United States Bank, and
President Tyler at once vetoed it. This made
the President very unpopular and a gang Of
men, many of them rough characters, went I'D
to the White House and gave him mock
serenade They daubed the pillars Of the por-
ticoes with tar, made all sorts of discordant
noises, and in other ways insulted the Presi-
dent. Congress, which was then in session, took
umbrage at this insult to the President and
at once passed bill establishing the Auxiliary
Guard.
"But the enemies of the President in Con-
gress got the bill in such a shape that the
appointment OF the. captain was placed in the
