Washington, Dec. 15.-R-The
United States Thursday collected war
debt payments from six nations
while five, unable to pay or deter
mined not to, went into default.
Great Britain was first to have its
transfer announced, Secretary Mills
receiving official word the Bank Of
England had ear-marked SOS. $50, 900
of gold for American credit and had
instructed the Federal Reserve bank
OF New York to remit to the treasury.
Ferdinand Veverka. Czecho-Slo-
vakian minister, later presented Sec
rotary stimson with q formal mott
fication that Czecho-Slovakia will
meet its war debt payment of 81 $780,
900.
The minister telephoned to the
National City bank in New York i'm
mediately instructing the bank to
make the payment to the Federal
Reserve bank in New York.
Through the same New York agen-
cy the treasury expected to get Italy's
$l,245,437; Finland's $186,235, and
Latvia's $148,852.
Five Do Not Pay
Not officially in default until the
treasury books are closed for the
day, nevertheless France, Belgium
Poland, Esthonia and Hungary lei
their opportunity to pay go by and
the treasury was prepared to record
the $26,2l2,511 due from these coun-
tries as unpaid.
Another nation, Greece, Nov. II
failed to meet $444,920 payment
and Thursday it was indicated she
also would pass up a payment due

venture anything more definite. Mills
said normal relations between this
country and those which do not pay
need not necessarily be disrupted.
None of the $98,722,91O being paid

that the fall of the cabinet had TIED
the governments hands on making
the debt payment.
vakia, giving Stimson notice Of his
country's payment Of $l,500,O00, pre-.
sented a note asserting that the re.
mittance constitutes, in the utmost
self-denial of the Czecho-Slo peo-
pie. their final effort to meet the
obligation under such extremely un-
favorable circumstances"
The Polish ambassador and the
Lithuanian minister were handed
this country's second refusal to ex-
tend the debt moratorium in their
cases, and similar note was mailed
to the Esthonian consul general in
New York.
The Lithuanian minister then
called at the treasury, varying the
process Of remittance followed by
other paying nations, by presenting
a check for $92,386 drawn on local
bank.

A Sermon for Today
By REV. JOHN 4. GUM.

"All the days of Methuselah were
nine hundred sixty and nine years.
Genesis, VT.
It was great age to which Methuse-
lah lived. But how did he live those
years? What did he achieve? As to
this, the record is silent. So far as the
record goes, MethuSelah's only distinc-
tion was the number Of years he lived.
To have the distinction of being the
Oldest man, and nothing more to ones
credit, is not an enviable distinction.
1t is no advantage to live long If one
does not live well. Life Is not to be
measured by our mechanical methods
of reckoning time. 1t IS quality rather
than quantity that counts IN life Some
live many years, and at the end have
little or nothing to show for them.
Others live only few years, and yet
in those few years they release into
the world influences and ministries that
cannot be measured in terms of time.
Methuselah lived 969 years. Jesus lived
80 years. Which lived the most
1t is often caid that "time is money"
That Is a poor and mean equation.
Time Is infinitely more tnan money.

spirit and scattered sunshine"

my Dear Mrs. Post: Is it proper
for man to attend the funeral OF his
mother in a brown suit with black
band on his arm?"
Answer: I never am asked about such
conventions of mourning without think
ing of Sudermann's masterpiece, Dame
Care c'Frau Sorge"D, in which the
bewildered, heartbroken son wears a
colored tie-not even knowing what he
has Onto be criticized by the sons
who care nothing, but are in proper
black. All the same. since lack of con-
vention is apt to be misinterpreted as
lack Of caring, and as we can't bear
that any one should think that the one
who is, gone was not. cherished, it
should be the thought of some one else
to see that black clothes are lent to a
man under such circumstances. After
the funeral, MS ordinary clothes with
black arm band, black socks and gloves
are considered proper for mourning.
