Premature Anxiety.

Secretary Stimson has declared a
moratorium on further inquiries at the
State Department about revision ana
cancellation OF war debts. Ever since
Mr.. Montagu Norman, governor OF the
Bank of England, gumshoed his way
into and out Of the United States last
month reports have persisted that he
came in the disguise Of transatlantic
passenger listed as prof. Clarence
Skinner" surreptitiously to pave the
way for some sensational tampering
with existing war debt arrangements.
Denial after denial was issued by Sec
retary Stimson that either Mr.. Nor
mans visit or Ambassador Melons

connected. directly or indirectly. with
war debts, but Dame Rumor gabbled on.
The State Department has now wisely
determined not to dignity unfounded
gossip with further attention.
This week, on September is. the
period occurs at which, under the fund
ing settlements with its various Euro

intends defaulting ON its forthcoming

Fort HcHenry.

The bombardment Of Fort McHenry
is to be re-enacted this evening. A feet
Of destroyers, cruisers and Coast Guard
craft will attack the fort shortly after
dusk, while several artillery batteries
will defend the old and historic shrine.
The real bombardment began at dawn
on September 13, 1914. The British

Devastation and other vessels, under the
command Of Admiral Sir George Cock

of the chief defense Of the Patapsco

Of the unprotected condition Of his pow

ensue.

TO reduce the fort, but In the end he
was obliged to retire without having &C.

OF considerably more significance
than unsubstantiated representations
of war-debt defaults Is the announce
ment of the formation Of strong
American committee to consider war
debts as q budness problem" Mr.. A.
p. Sloan. chairman Of General Motors,
is at the head Of It. He will ask req
leaders Of finance, commerce
and industry to pool their minds for
the purpose Of discovering what Is the
best policy about the debts viewed
strictly from the business" standpoint
The findings Of such committee will
be far worthier the consideration Of the
American people than the myopic and
diatribes with which the
country Is periodically regaled by the
"anti-internationalis guardians Of the
Republics interests.
Within the past few weeks-whea
Borah broadcast his impress
sions Of the Lausanne Conference, and
later, when President Hoover delivered
his acceptance address-those two emf
nent spokesmen Of public opinion def
nitely espoused the theory that revision
of war debts, II 1t is in the demonstrated
interest Of American industry and agri-
culture, would and should command the
Nations approval. The Sloan commit
tee apparently is bent upon thorough
survey Of such possibilities.

Germany's ultimatum concerning the
increased armament she needs and 70
which she feels she is entitled has been
like a bolt out Of the blue. How Will
the nations answer her request? Is
the query in many minds.
Holding that its present military and
naval establishments are insufficient for
reasonable national security. Germany
seeks to remove the restrictions placed
upon them by the Versailles treaty
(l9l9," notes the San Antonio Express.
'As the United States is not a party to
the Versailles treaty, 1t has no direct
raised" this paper continues. However,
1t does not favor any movement which
would bring about an increase in pres
ent ornaments anywhere. Washington
probably would throw its influence
against q scheme which might prevent
ratification Of agreements to abolish
large tanks and chemical and bacterio-
logical warfare and to limit heavy
mobile artillery, as proposed by the
Geneva Conference resolutions adopted
last july"
Naturally, the country most concerned
in any expansion of Germany's armed
strength Is France. As to opinion IN
that country, the Baltimore Sun re-
marks: The French viewpoint at the
moment seems to be that France, during
the past year has yielded great oeal.
taking the advice Of those who urged
her to support DR.. Bruening's govern
ment and thus prevent rise of mill
tariSt reaction in Germany. She con-
sented to the Hoover moratorium and
virtually gave up reparations, her most
powerful weapon in the business OF
keeping Germany down. And yet,
despite these concessions, every German
election has seen the improvement OF
the position Of reactionaries and miitar-
lists, until today Germany is in the con-
troll of a group almost Identical with
that which attacked France in 1914.
She feels she has gone too far and that
1t is time to stiffen the resistance to
German pressure" The Providence
Journal considers 1t encouraging that
the British government IS actively CO.
operating with France in helping to
determine the kind Of answer that the
French government will make to the
request Of Germany for modification of
the ornaments clauses of the Versailles
treaty." and states that Ito leave the
initial stages in the solution Of the
problem presented by the German
memorandum solely in French and Ger
man hands would conceivably lead to
endless, controversy. It would almost
certainly provoke bitter antagonisms
that would in turn injure the cause of
peace on the Continent" In the opinion
of the Journal.
The argument Of the Won Papen
government is that since the allied ma
tions did not carry out the disarma-
ment provisions of the Versailles treaty
Germany Is entitled to ignore those
provisions" reports the Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal, which agrees that, "as

limitations except those which would
allow for wartime establishments.

One placed thin steel disk, curiously
cut. upon the apparatus, and In turning
certain cogs were struck by the inden-

Perhaps there are a few OF those old
music boxes still doing duty. Certainly

The Old Block saw the rise and de-

The Old Block had the distinction Of
being the longest row in the city. IN the

At this number in the Old Block
occurred the celebrated beheading Of the

This set of chessmen was presented
by the celebrated WI Ting Fang, Min

It was presented to the father Of one
small Bill, whose last name shall be
nameless here for ever more.
Needless to say, it was an exquis-
itely wrought set, meticulously carved
out of real ivory.
The knights, for instance. were Chi
nese mandarins, equipped with curved
swords, and everything.
One day Bill conceived the bright idea
Of amusing his young friends by be-
heading the chessmen with . butcher

The fact that the set Of chessmen
was q priceless thing did not seem to
