the government never allows one

Joined in line. 1t was filled with
an ugly-looking crew of men and
it soon developed that we were
supposed to supply them with
water, gasoline, food, whatever
they needed.
1T was apparent they were bound
on some illegal errand-opium
smuggling, perhaps - and had
been unable either to make prep
arations or secure proper papers.
They just demanded what they
wanted without even a thank
you.

him ten grains of aspirin. 1t

turned off the lights and got the

The other car-the one that had

up, but anyway we had gotten rid

The lion comes up for his feast.
When he is groggy from the
poison, the de luxe hunter ad-
vanceS and kills him. The most
revealing story We heard about
lions was in Dar-es- Salaam on the
east coast. A German couple ran
a hotel there before the World
war when the region was a Ger
man possession. They had just
gotten the hotel back a bit before
we arrived
The woman told me the saddest
thing about the whole war from
her standpoint was that she had
lost her pet lion.
She had raised him from cub.
He was full grown by the time
the war started. He ran loose
about the hotel like dog. Then
the British came and the German
couple had to flee with the rest
of their compatriots. And before
they departed they shot the lion.
They told me with tears in their
eyes that they were afraid the
British might miStreat him."

DEBT OFFERS
Roosevelt Will Let Europe
Default Rather Than

WILLING TO NEGOTIATE

July d.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Repu-
diation of Europe's $1,000 900
war debt to the United States now
is definitely in sight as the alter
native to sweeping reductions.
But that is only half the picture.
The other half is that the United
States almost certainly will let Eu-
rope default rather than accept
anything like the 10-centS-on-the-
dollar settlement which the princi-
pal debtors indicate they plan to
offer.
President Roosevelt, it is Under
stood, will begin new debt negotia-
lions with Great Britain and other
countries shortly after July 4. He
expects to be back in Washington
then.
President to Decide
Upon the outcome of these nego-
tiations, in large measure, will de-
pend the success or failure of the
epochal world economic conference.
The first 48 hours of the London
parley decidedly have not lightened
the Presidents task. Congress, which
alone has authority to change the
terms of the existing debt settle
ments has, rightly or wrongly, been
given the distinct impression that a
European bloc has formed for the
purpose of stampeding the United
States into unconditional revision.
And congress will not be Stam-
peded. 1t is on record against re-
duction, cancellation, or revision.
Opposed to Cancellation
The President specifically reserved
for himself the job of negotiating
new debt understanding with Eu-
rope. President Hoover wanted 10
revive the world war foreign debt
commission, upon which congress
would be represented. But Presi-
dent Roosevelt objected. He held
that the President has ample au-
thority too carry on such talks, and
this he proposes to do here, and
through diplomatic channels in
London and Paris
President Roosevelt, however. no
less than congress, is against can
collation.. He has not even prom
iSed revision. All he has done was
to offer to sit down and talk things
over with the debtor nations.

In this third of six articles on wom-

experiences Earl Sparkling discusses Miss
Caroline Singer, writer OF charming
travel books. and wife Of the prominent
previously has interviewed Mrs. James
I. Clark and group of airplane
hostesses.
BY EARL SPARKLING
Times Special Writer
NEW YORK, June 14-Adven-
IN ture, the kind with big A,
leaves Caroline Singer cold. Stories
of hairbreadth action in strange
lands bore her. She knows most
of the strange lands Of the world,
knows them rather intimately, and
she knows the kind of romantic
traveller who bumps into danger
at every border and escapes
death constantly.
Adventure? Well, she and her
husband, C. Leroy Baldridge, the
artist, trekked through Africa for
thirteen months in 1926-27.
Trekked is the proper word.
Sometimes they had filters along,
but they let the black porters
carry them empty.
Nor did they have a weapon of
any sort during the entire trip.
Nor did they wear any of the reg
ulation regslia in which adven-
turers are supposed to do Africa.
There is no such misunderstand-
ing about Africa" smiled Miss
Singer, sitting comfortable on the
back terrace of their apartment
looking not at all like a woman
who would court hardship. 1T is
perfectly absurd to carry guns.
The natives are the most hos
pitable people in the world.
LAS for wild animals, they are
not nearly so dangerous as the
black water fever and the yellow
fever.
IF you are the kind of person
who wants to bring trophies home,
you can buy a lion skin nearly
anywhere for rs cents. You can
buy any kind of live animal you
want.
A baby chimpanzee costs a shill-
ing. You can buy anything from a
baby rhino 10 a baby gorilla, and
if you want something that isn't
already in pen all you have to
do is tospost a notice and some
native will bring it in. For a hun
dred dollars you could get me-
nagerie. So why be myterious
about Africa?
"HOW is one to say what is
Il l. dangerous? Are a couple of
leopards more dangerous than
couple of taxi drivers? Of course,
there are leopards. Many a time
we've heard them rumbling III the
scrub as we moved along. We
didn't bother them and they
didn't bother us.
IF you are travelling in Africa
with the intention of understand
ing the country and its people,
you soon learn to pay no more at
tention to such things than the
natives do.
Il was told an amusing story
about lion hunting. I don't know
whether it is true, but they said
that one way lions are hunted is
to kill a zebra and poison the
meat.

TITS astonishing how much the
l. white people in Africa fear the
sun. We met one man who wore a
pith helmet even at night to pro-
tect himself from the reflection OF
the suns rays by the moon.
I'VE went bareheaded most of
the time, as the natives do.
Adventure? Well, yes, they did
have one bit of adventure in At
RIGA. Along the Gold Coast they
found bus lines, owned by Syrians,
running between the native viii
lagos. They chartered a bus and
started taking on passengers
themselves.

one trip of many. Ever since they
were married these two have been
roaming about the earth, Leroy
Baldridge making sketches at
every stop, his wife writing words
to accompany the best of them in
some of the most delightful travel
books that have ever been pub
lished.
In 1922 they bicycled through
France and northern Italy. In
1923-M they spent thirteen
months in China and Japan and
witnessed three successive military
occupations of Peking.

Il exciting" said Miss Singer,
but it wasn't especially. 1t was
just a matter of new sentries
standing around with meat cleav-
ers.
"Once you know the stability
of Chinese, military occupations
seem less important. The capac-
ity for survival of the Chinese
never will be upset by any revo-
luton or any army"
In 1882 they went around the
world, taking their time, travelling
in their own fashion, lingering for
nine months in Persia. There Mr..
Baldridge made the first portraits
ever secured of Persian women
with their faces unveiled.

Longs home, in New Orleans exclusive
residential section, has been under po-
lice guard because of mysterious fires
and broken windows. The superinten-
dent Of police has now withdrawn this
guard. The war, so to speak, is on. In
the State, political conditions have been
turbulent since last Spring.
There was great agitation for a spe-
ctal session for any number Of reasons.
The school teachers wanted such q
session, the repeallStS wanted one, the
tax revision groups wanted one. In
August Senator Long said he'd have
his chief lieutenant. Gov. Allen. call a
special session to take steps to ratify
repeal and revise taxes by october Is.
He finally got the report Of the tax re-
vision group and thereupon advocated
seven new taxes in the State and q
tax exemption Of $4,000 on individual
hornesteads.
The program was little to the liking
of the people. When the Senator took
the stump for 1t, he was heckled for
the first time in his life. And in Alex
andria, a stronghold in North Louisiana
which hitherto has been one OF his re-
sources, he was ingloriously egged.
Meanwhile, citizens from the sixth
congressional district for five months
had been asking for a special election,
to fill the place of the late Representa-
tive Kemp. J. Y Sanders, jr, son of
the former, Governor and bitter enemy
Of Long, was the favored candidate.
Gov Allen refused to call such an
election until the night before a mass

he had threatened to do this and was
reported to have approached two Of the
city's council members, asking II they
would run on his ticket. There is q
rumor now that he will place John
Klorer on such ticket for mayor Klor-
er, one-time city councilman and for
the past few years chief engineer on the
Long controlled Levee Board, will
neither deny nor affirm this report. But
he has surprised all political observers
by TeSignhg his post On the Levee
Board. refusing to state his reasons
His resignation Is regarded signih-
cant.
It was particularly surprising move
In view Of Senator Longs statement the
day before Klorer resigned. The Senator
stated that his organization would not
support either Mayor Walmsley or his
opponent. Francis Williams, and that
he did not think his supporters could
get enough votes to win as independ-
ents In the primary.
Most Of Longs statements were dis
tsiPptsd ts,1p ed as. as circulars for he places no
the city administration chance to get
in the first whack. The police arrested
10 men and boy for distributing them
without a permit. The Long-controlled
attorney general then issued q state
ment charging false arrest. Mayor
Walmsley countered with a manifesto
to the effect that had permits been OBJ
tanned no action would have been taken.

The breach between the Senator and
the administration leaders Of New
Orleans had been widening for many
proportions Of q definite break.
Huey wanted to name some Of the
candidates on the administration ticket
In the forthcoming municipal election
in January. An informal caucus of
city leaders, however, has refused to
give him this privilege.
ITO take New Orleans City Hall would
be like Napoleon taking Moscow" Huey
retorted. And then he added .Old
Mother Hubbard never went to a cup
board that was half as bare as the
treasury Of the City Hall Of New
Orleans"
Mayor Walmsley, leader of the city
group, head of the National Association
of Mayors and candidate for reelection
retorted, sour grapes. As long as the
Senator admits he's in retreat, It makes
little difference whether he Is retreat
ing from Moscow or anywhere else"
There are some. however, who do not
believe Long actually will work against
the election of Mayor walmsley when
the polls open January %. They point
out New Orleans controls eight Of the
Legislatures 80 State Senators and 90
out of 100 State Representatives. Would
Huey risk losing these votes at a time
when he is certainly in dire need?
Independent Ticket Talk.
Others say he will put out an inde-
pendent municipal ticket. Once before
