EUROPE IS VERY
 MUCH EXCITED
(continuod from Page i.)

No nation now in arrears or ac. tuaI default, which means all deb. tors but Finland, showed the slightest disposition upon initial consid dorntion of tho presidents message to yield It's position Do. cause Of tho implied threat that they would Do declared defnulters if they did not pay. In full on Juno 15.
 Tho hope remained that infor. mal soundings out by diplomatists perhaps In the early days of next week might lead to q way out through q proposal for n confer. enco that would mean re-funding of the debts.
 The French cabinet for weeks has boon leaning toward a com. promise instead of continuation of default.
 But to a nation that can almost hear across the German frontier the tramp of the feet of Nazi storm | troopers, the argument that nn- tionai defense plans should be scrapped in favor of dobt payments
 In Great Britain sentiment has strengthened every day that there is no alternative to default but set- | clement on q basis that would re- duce to a fraction the British dues. The debt message caused the most angry comment ever made In official quarters here on the debt problem. AS regards the arma: ments hint, the word "blackmatF' was used by an authoritative com mentator.
 Another and higher authority re- called that European nations owed Britain moro than they do tho United States.
 European nations owe Britain including the czariSt Russian debt, $12, 2,0S5, ,464,531 with the pound at $5.07 1-16.
 Europeans excluding Russia owe the United States $11,628,311,614. Russia owes about $332,600.000. The total is about $11,060, 100000. Commenting on these figures, as they are calculated here, this au- thority said that Britain never had tried to tell France, for instance, what to do with her money.
 Great Britain, he said, had paid half the capital sum due from 1t OuL Dblti VWGug OCC0uoS VI StSoSt more than she borrowed. Washington, June 2.-(UP)- President RooseveIt's debt message | to congress has neither advanced nor retarded the likelihood of the United States receiving anything substantial on the war debt install- ments due on June 1b. This view was taken by officials today as they listened to echoes of displeasure from Europe over the plain but painful truths stated in the presidents message. There was no grand rush by officials here for the exits to escape the rumbles Of anger from Europe. They had hardly expected European states men to pat MT Roosevelt on the back.
 OmcIaIs said President Roose- velt's message had revealed that there are two sides. even to de- faulted debts. President Roosevelt has long insisted, as did President Hoover, that a debtor government unable to meet its obligations has the right to approach the creditor and tell it's story. The European debtors have been invited repeat edly to do just that but, except for Great Britain have ignored the in- vitations.
 OficiaIs believed that the presi- dent had been somewhat irked by this, and that his message had ex- ercised prerogative of every cred itor---that of expressing some un. comfortable truths about such deb- tors.

 condition became aggravated, re. suIting in severe nervousness and anaemia.
 The complaint says that on Jan- uary 6. 1884, the plaintiff was the owner of the property at the corner of Burr and Norton streets. It con. sisted of a one family dwelling, q store and n large piece of land The property was being foreclosed by the defendants. holders of sec. ond mortgage on the property. The law day was set for January Sth.
 The plaintiff, being anxious to save her home, had applied to the Home owners Loan Corp for relief and had petitioned the court of common pleas for an extension of the law day. On January 5, the law day was extended. The defendant promised to accept the Home Loan bank, holder of the first mortgage, also agreed to accept the bonds, says the complaint.
 Later, the defendants refused to accept the bonds and no relief was open to the plaintiff, who had equity of S1,500 in the property. The plaintiff had made no other at- tempt for relief because she relied on the defendants promise to ac- cept the bonds.
 On February 2, 1884, in the late afternoon the plaintiff and her small children were forcefuily and wrongfully elected from their homo into the street by the defendants and left to suffer from the ravages of a bitter cold night, the soin- plaint says.
 Attorney Frank J. Mcdonald who with Attorney Pasquade De- Cicco. appear for the plaintiff. stated that the mother with her husband and children attempted to stop the defendants from ejecting them but were unsuccessful. A deputy sheriff, armed with an order of eviction was required to carry out his duties and the household effects with the family were moved out to the sidewalk, Mir Mcdonald said. The family was left to wan- der about without home for hours until taken in by friends during the night, Mir Mcdonald stated.
 In addition, the complaint charges the defendants wrongful ly converted the store fixtures in the building to their own use. The fixtures included scale. cash reg ister, ice box, gas heater, show case. meat block and meat bench. all Of which are reasonably worth S75O says the complaint. The case will not be returned to court unti: next Tuesday and then it will take several months perhaps before trial

 The injuries are alleged 10 have boon cnuBnd because the defendant permitted four young men and others, before the assault, to hang about tho place and become intoxi. chtod; because the defendant for some time previously to, and on the night in question had permitted the young men, who assaulted thu plaintiff, to frequent tho place, al. though knowing they had engaged in fights there and when intoxl' cated were dangerous with pat rOns; because when tho four young mon attacked tho plaintiff, the dc. fendant did not protect or try to stop or control these men from beating the plaintiff.
