j. s. SEES SNAG
ON DEBTS SET
BY EUROPE
America, Even Dealing With
Powers Separately, Must
Meet Solid Front

The Franco-British accord
and the "gentlemen's agree
ment" signed at the Lausanne
conference will add enormously
to the difficulties Of this
country in any negotiations
which may take place with
individual European nations
for reduction of their respec-
tive debts.
Administration officials reluc-
tantly came to this point Of view
today after reading the texts OF
the two documents which were
given to the press in London and
Paris.
Solid Front Seen
Any doubt which may have lin
gered in the minds Of officials
here that the two agreements
were aimed at presenting solid
European front to the United
States on the matter Of debts was
dispelled by the text.
The understanding reached by
European leaders to work in close
cooperation among themselves
has not changed this Govern
ment'S determination not to deal
with its European creditors en-
masSe, it was pointed out.
Britain, France Bound
The United States adheres to
its position that it will discuss
debt adjustment with each cred
itor country individually and
singly if and when that country
makes formal request for such dis
cussion.
The "entente cordial" however,
practically binds Great Britain
and France each not to accept a
debt settlement with the United
States until after an exchange
of views with complete candor,"
which means that each will keep
the other informed Of any nego-
tiations it may have with this
country.
Opposition to war debt cancel
lation gained new forces today
when, in response to a poll, eight
additional members Of Congress
added their protests and increased
the number of Senators opposing
the proposition to 81 and the
total of Representatives to 275.
Senator Neely CD of West Vir-
ginia. wired:
81 oppose cancellation Of war
debts"
Members of the House who
added their objections are:
Representative Peavey CRO of
Wisconsin, Representative Corn
ing CD of New York, Repre-
sentative Fernandez CD Of
Louisiana, Representative Can
field CD of Indiana, Represent.
ative EStep (R0 Of Pennsyl'
vania, Representative Alternately
CD Of North Carolina, and Rep.
resentative Evana (D) of Mon

Universal is the latest entrant,

While the preparations are be-

Means at His Fate

HVlN0l ~ - sSS ~A
AS soou as Pete was showed
into the Tombs, he began to
cry loudly for his attorney. He
would never have gone to the
Tombs in the first place if
his lawyer had been in town,
but Pete hadn't been able to
locate him until he had already
been held. Now it was up to
his attorney to get his bail
and have him released.
After Pete had been in the
jug some seven hours his coun-
selor arrived. Pete heaved a
great sigh of relief.
"You sure look like a mes
sage from home" was his greet
ing. "You gotta get me outa
here, Freddie. I can't stand
this joint much longer. It's
KILN me-"
His attorney nodded.
"I'll do the best I can, Pete, :"
he returned. But first want
to know if you understand what
you are charged with?"
The other man shook his
head.
"I gotta admit, counselor" "
he said, that it amt very
clear to me. If you don't mind,
would you gimme the whole
rap in your own woids? Then
maybe I'll get a better idea"
Offers an Abb
The lawyer decided to have
a little fun with his client.
He coughed Importantly and
drew out some papers.
"Pete," he asserted pomp-
ously, "you have been in
carcerated under section 1898
of the penal code. 1t is
charged herein that you did
willfully and of your own voli-
ton consort with characters Of
a suspicious nature"
He raised his eyes and folded
the papers.

to say for yourself?"
Pete swallowed hard. It
didn't take a detective to recog-
nize the fact that Pete was
just as much in the dark as
he had been before. But that
wasn't going to stop him. Not

would say that he is not the type Of

Shad showed the volume he had
been studying to the doctor and the
queries in his notebook. The learned
man answered them, and said:
"The time has come when you need
q bigger dictionary. I will lend you
mine. 1 will have my man bring 1t to
you at Browns cove"
he looked through many pages Of

the meaning Of the unusual words and

book entitled 1.-THE Youths History Of

read It carefully before continuing his
study of Blackstone. The doctor
arose. His horse and blackboard were

A large crowd assembled in the hall. which was very appropriat- ely decorated for the occasion, and enjoyed until an early hour, the excellent dance music furnish ed by the six piece orchestra Ac- cording to the comments made af- ter the dance, everyone vowed they had a very good time and were only waiting until the orchestra played again to go and repeat the performance. With such delightful music this winter, it is almost cer- tain that the dances yet to come, will be among the best attended and some of the most successful ones, ever to be staged. Incidently.
