Vet Who Lost Hair
 in War to Be Paid

TORONTO, Feb. "A pensioner before the Canadian pension com mission at a hospital here, asked for an increase in pension for the loss of his hair. In 1915, when he enlisted, he had an abundance of hair. He contracted trench fever in 1917, and was invalided to Lon don, where he was forced to buy a wig. R. H. Neil, pensions advocate, pleaded that he should be entitled to the cost of five wigs which he had purchased.

Seen As Last Resort
TO Make Reich Pay
International News Service


Action of the trustees Of the
Dawes and Young plan loans ir
demanding confiscation Of the
German customs receipts to meet
payment on those loans was re
garded in official circles here to
day as a last resort to force Ger
many to pay up or admit outright
default.
The right Of the trustees to de-
mand confiscation of German Gus
toms receipts is contained in both
the Dawes and Young plan loans,
the customs receipts being pledged
along with taxes on tobacco, beer,
sugar and liquor as collateral for
the interest payments on those
loans.
However, officials said there Is
no way the trustees can force the
German Government to hand over
the customs receipts. A sovereign
nation. it was pointed out, cannot
be forced by representative of an.
other country to take action con.
trary to its will within its own
borders unless an army of occu'
patton is moved in to enforce the
demands.
Neither the trustees Of the Dawes
or the Young plan loans have any
army Of occupation behind them
and therefore, it was said. the
most they can do is make the re-
quest and. if it is turned down,
follow with a protest.

There exists, it is true, some
what vague powers under the
interstate commerce act, relating
to movement Of goods in inter

been resorted to, and probably
won't be.
Federal troops can be sent into
action in California only If re-

far no such request has been
made. Probably it won't be, and
there is no certainty that the re-

President Roosevelt Is known to
be extremely loath to do such a
thing, except in the most dire
circumstances.
Thus, the attitude Of the Fed.

Threaten Appeal to Congress
Over Cutting Inspection

Utility Commission asking for in.
spection of their cabs prelimin.
airy to securing operating licenses,
only to be told that the inspec.
ton hours have been cut to so
minutes each morning-from $50
to 1890.
Plea May Go to Congress
The drivers complained that
they did not have any notice Of
such a drastic reduction in the
inspection time and many threat.
ened that they would take the
matter up with Congress through
their organizations.
G. A. Galleher, an independent
taxi driver, spoke for a delega-
ton of his fellow workers after
he had vainly tried to secure
an inspection Of his cab shortly
after 1890 today. He said:
Each taxicab pays at least
$3l in taxes and fees to the Dis
trict government, and each cab
is worth at least $500 a year in
gasoline taxes. 1t is a shame that
men have to give up operating

Open Warfare Breaks Out
Between Bond Holders

BERLIN, July II G.N.S0-
Open warfare broke out today
between the German government
and foreign holders Of German
bonds issued to cover the Dawes
and the Young plan loans. Trus'
tees Of the bonds ordered the en-
tire customs receipts Of the Reich
confiscated pending payment OF
interest on the two loans.
The trustees, including Gates
w. McGarrah, American banker.
acted on behalf Of the Bank for
International Settlements.
Seizure Of the customs receipts
would be a serious blow to the
German government since it would
cut off an important source Of
revenue now available for the run
ming of the government. The
monthly customs receipts OF the
Reich are approximately zoe, 000,-
900 marks, or about $4,000, 900.
To be deprived Of this sum, under
present critical economic condi-
tons, would handicap the opera.
lions of the government, officials
contend.
The German Government, how
ever, refused to recognize the con-
fiscation order. The government
branded it as an attempt to use
force"
Because Of the shortage Of
foreign currency in Germany, TO-
100000 marks placed to the
account of foreign bondholders on
July IS cannot be transferred.
Thus approximately 100000
technically paid on the interest
cannot be collected by those to
whose credit it has been placed.
It was not Immediately ex-
planned by the trustees Of the for
eign bond holders how it would
proceed to enforce confiscation Of
the customs receipts or what steps
might be invoked to overcome
Germany's refusal to recognize the
order.
