American Public
Informed on War Debts
Evening Times, Glasgow.-A letter
to the editor: ~
Sir-I was very interested in "Ochil-
trees" logical CD article on the war
debt question. I oan assure him, how
ever, that the American public is much
better informed on this subject than he
seems to think. After 10 years Of
European propaganda they know at
least as much about both sides of the
question as "Ochiltree" does.
The allies had exhausted their credit
early in 1917, and without American
loans they would have been defeated.
There was no nonsense then about war
loans being logically dependent on
reparations," was there? Some people
will say that, as the munitions bought
with these loans we're used against the
common foe, America should not ex-
pect to be repaid. But out OF
total of nearly $12 1000, 100000 lent by
America only about $2,443,6l0,000 were
actually spent on munitions, and she
has forgiven her late allies more than
that.
The net cost to America of her part
in the war was $50, 800, ,232 ,063. So 1t
cannot be said that she did not spend
her own money.
AS regards reparations, all the allies,
with the exception of America, nave
got loot of some sort Britain got
Germany's colonies, France the So
called lost provinces and so on; so
why not let it go at that?
1 am quite sure America would agree
to this proposal She has more respect
for Germany than for some OF her
allies. but Europe will have none of
it. If Germany cannot pay for the
war. then America must. Maybe
"Ochiltree" can see the logic In TINS
attitude. but 1 cannot This is looking
at the matter from a purely ethleaI
standpoint, which is not usually Done
in Europe. ,.
1t may be said that America should
come down to earth, that war debts are
the cause of all the unemployment ana
trouble which the world is eXper:enc-
ing and that it is all IN AmeIl.a
interest to cancel them. This in my
opinion is "tripe." I am only work
inc man but I can see many other
causes for the present crisis besides war
debts This IS obviously not question
for politicians of the Hang. the Kaiser
type Britain and America are the
worlds bankers. and there is no man
living who could say where cancella-
tion would stop once it had started.

to hold a meeting Of protest against

Some of the leaders of the demon

on red paper. urging their fellow stu
dents to take definite action in their
campaign against the oppression OF the
university officials and to gather In the
students section of the university for
a further demonstration.
A large flag was produced and the
crowd started to follow this IN pa

were delivered advocating direct action
and the crowd threatened to become
violent, to such an extent that the uni
versity authorities became alarmed and
called In the police. The students fied

On Better Acquaintance.
OF course the blossom had to fade.
The parting brings a sigh.
And next to us will be displayed
The snowflake from the sky.
And if we will but pause to scan
This visitor so fine
We will admire its fragile plan
OF texture and of line!
Much which at first with dread we knew
Has shown kindlier pow'r
And been on more familiar view
As lovely as flow'r.
Try, Try, Again.
Diplomacy much speech employs
As it discloses doubts and joys.
If one talk does not satisfy
Another language we may try.
In that way we at last may gain
Significance succinctly plain.

Unto the seashore I shall go
Where once they held the beauty show
And find a change of loveliness
Where clothes are more instead Of less
For beauties tire with their display

And never were, since earth began,
Content with just coat Of tan.

SALLY PLIERS IN HAT CHECK GIRL" OPENING TODAY Ben Lyon Has Masculine Lead Opposite Star in New Fox
 Romantic Drama

Bringing a swift moving romance of two very different worlds to the screen, "Hat Check Girl" begins a three day showing at the Poli Pal ace theater today with Sally Eilers and Ben Lyon in the leading roles.
 Miss Eilers portrays the title part, that of hard-working young lady who handles the hats and wraps at famous New York night club, and Lyon that of a young millionaire whose first meeting with his future fiancee is when he finds her asleep in his apartment. From this accidental beginning their acquaintance flowers rapidly, complicated by such events as her arrest on a false charge of selling liquor, ride on the city sprinkling cart when their taxi breaks down, and a trip to the Andirondacks during which Lyon proposes and is accepted.
 The course of true love is sud- denly halted, however, when Sally's ex-lover, Monroe Owsley, appears at their engagement party and tells things he shouldn't tell. Subsequently Owsley is found dead in the apartment, and suspicion naturally falls on Lyons shoulders, with the police deciding that they have clear-cut case against him. Sally's efforts in Lyons behalf cause the boys father to think she is only after publicity for herself, and matters become very tangled indeed, with a climax that is said to be one surprise after another. Directed by Sidney Lanfield, who made Miss Eiler's previous Dance Team" this Fox Films offering is said to be treat for picture -goers The sparkling Ginger Rogers, who enacts the role of Miss Eilers' chum and fellow-worker. supplies much of the comedy in the produc- ton, while the two principals are said to give brilliant performances in their well-suited parts. Arthur Pierson, Noel Madison and Dewey Robinson also have important roles in the film.

JOHN BARRYMORE, RATHER
 INE HEPBURN ENTRANCES AUDIENCES IN "A BILL OF
 DIVORCEMENT' NOW AT
 WARNER BROS STATE
 "A Bill of Divorcement" now playing at Warmers State and fea- turing John Barrymore with Katharine Hepburn, Billie Burke, David Manners, Paul Cavanaugh, Henry Stephenson and other fav- orites, ranks with the finest pro- auctions of the talking screen. It Is an event, a milestone in motion picture history. Yesterdays audi ences proclaimed a new star on the cinema horizon and her name is Katharine Hepburn a Hartford. Connecticut girl. The dynamic way she scars to fame in this picture is nothing short of marvellous.
 Not many times in the history of celluloid entertainment has there been such a first performance as Miss Hepburn gives. The audience recognized 1t and rose to it with repeated enthusiasm. She was in the fastest company young act ress could possibly have-John Barrymore at his finest, playing one of the most difficult roles of his or any other actors career with a superb certainty and a dazzling variation of shading. Billie Burke, with lifetime of acting experi- ence; Elizabeth Patterson, one of the subtlest and surest players of her kind; Henry Stephenson, David Manners and Paul Cavan- augh-each of them skilled vet eran by comparison with this girl.
 Not only did Miss Hepburn hold her own, she displayed in every gesture, infection and movement the unmistakable innate gift of ex- pression that distinguishes the great actor from the merely. good one.
 State patrons will thoroughly enjoy this picture. It's tip top screen entertainment and is ac- companied by a surrounding pro- gram also worthy of mention.
 Saturday morning the State theater, in cooperation with the Bunker Hill Parent-Teachers' as- sociation will present the Clare Tree Major Children's> theater company of New York in the play Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." This is a stage play and not motion picture. Tickets are now on sale and the entire proceeds will be given over to the local milk fund. Come and bring the kiddies with you. You'll see a dandy play, with real actors and at the same time be aiding a worthy work.
