WAR DEBTS IN
BIG SHRINKACE
Dollars Depreciation Re.
duces Them Over One
Billion Dollars
By RICHARD L. GRIDLEY
U. P. Financial Correspondent
(Copyripht. 1888. United Press

lCopyrIght, 1888. united fress
WASHINGTON, May 90. (UP)
War debts owed the United States
have been automatically reduced
more than a billion dollars be-
cause of the present depreciation
of the American dollar in world
markets, it was estimated in in
formed circles yesterday.
Since the United States has
made all its money legal tender
and prohibited all but special
dealings in gold, it was remarked
in authoritative circles here that
foreign governments could legal
ly make their war debt payments
to the United States in pennies,
paper dollars, bank notes or any
other kind of United States
money they desire.
The United States dollar since
the abandonment of the gold
standard has deprecated from 10
to 20 per cent in relation to for
eign currencies. If war debt pay
ments to the United States were
made in money other than gold,
it was pointed out that the debt
burden of foreign countries
would be reduced a correspond
ing amount.
The war debts had been pay
able in gold. Since the abandon
ment of the gold standard by the
United States. anywhere from 81
to $1.20 in American money can
be purchased in foreign countries
with a dollars worth of gold.
If foreign countries used their
gold to pick up American money
at a discount and offered it in
payment of war debts at face
value instead of offering gold as
heretofore, their debt burden
would be lifted considerably.
Another possibility open to for
eign countries would be to pur-
chase U. S. government bonds
with deprecated money and offer
them in payment of war debts at
face value. .....--
With war debts of S11,426,-
777,844 owed the United States,
a depreciation in the American
dollar of only 10 per cent would
ease their debt burden by more

HAIL DAMAGE TO CROPS In
COUNTY WILL RUN INTO MANY
THOUSANDSOF DOLLARS, SAID
Mills River and Area Near
Mountain Sanitarium
Are Hit

Henderson county was the scene
Of a damaging hail storm IN two
restricted areas Monday, the loss
from which will probably run to
$4,000, O. b. Jones, Henderson
county agent, estimated this
morning.
One of the storm areas was in
the Mills River section. The other
swept from Hillgirt and continu-
ed across Couch Mountain. Most
Of the damage from this one, Mr..
Jones said, following a visit in
the section this morning, was in
the area close to the Mountain
Sanitarium. No damage. he said.
was done in the Hoopers Greek
or in the Fruitland section.
Where it was most felt though,
Mr.. Jones estimated that so per
cent of the grapes, one-third OF
the apples and half of the tender
growing crops, such as beans and
spinach were destroyed.
The hail which fell yesterday
was large. Mr.. Jones said, some
of the stones being more than an
inch in diameter. At several
places it piled on the road and
did not melt for several hours.
After the storm reached the
Couch Mountain area there was
little damage it could do, and no
idea was entertained here as to
whether it continued to work its
havoc on the Fairview side of the
mountain.
A hail storm that seriously
damaged the roofs of buildings
killed chickens and beat down
corn, potatoes and other crops,
struck a relatively small area in
the Mills River section Monday
afternoon. Frank Burgin, promi-
Inent farmer, said his farm ap'
parently received the heaviest OF
the storm, and that he will have
to re-roof his house as conse'
quence of the damage. The old
roof was of slate and compost,
ton shingles. The hail stones
were unusually large. he said
and were shoe-mouth deep on
the ground. Several chickens
weighing about two pounds each
were killed, while young corn
was flattened to the ground.
The corn was so small, however,
that it is believed it will straight
ell up again. Mr.. Burgin said he
did not know the extent of the
damage. but that the hail appar-
emily fell in limited area.

Truce on Tariff

New Bill May Be Offered

WASHINGTON, May %. (UP)
The new farm relief bill last night
apparently had cleared an obsta-

fective operation by the interna-
tional tariff truce.
The obstacle involved the levy
ing of processing taxes with which

payments to farmers agreeing to
reduce their production. Such
taxes it was said. would necessi-
tate a corresponding eompensa-

tions at a conference late yester-

The nearness of the June Is

heightened by the recent address
