u. S. Duns War
Debtors, Just a
Mere Gesture
BY Universal Service

Uncle Sam yesterday went
through the motions of trying to
collect $18O,899, 701 due from the
European war debtors on June Is.
In accordance with custom,
the State Department sent a
brief notice to each of IL
embassies and legations here re-
minding them of the amounts due
on that date. The prospect is
none of it will be paid.
A notice to Finland, which will
owe $685. 53 on June Is, went
forth several days ago. Finland
is expected to be the only coun.
try to pay, as it was last year.
The others, including such world
powers as Great Britain, France
and Italy, are expected to send
regrets.
When the concerted movement
started abroad a few years ago to
avoid paying the debts, a few of
the larger nations, like Great
Britain and Italy, at first made
token payments or partial pay
ments. Since then they have
ceased paying at all. On back
payments, Great Britain owes 375
millions and France $163, 500, 900.
Here are the sums due on June
Is: Belgium, $7.4O9. 453: Czecho.
slovakia, $1,682,812; E S on a,
$322,S50: France, $64,367 1877;
G r e a t Britain, $85, 670.765;
Hungary, $37.41O; Italy $15,141,.

$164,351; Poland, $4,039,0 39; Ru-

Kings Disease Bars
Prince From Movies

NEW YORK, June If His
Royal Highness the Count of Cova-
donga, son of ex-Kjng Alfonso of
Spain, crashes the gates of Holly
wood, it will be as a writer, and
not as an actor, medical men as
serted here today.
All hope of carving out a career
as movie player is definitely
futile. they assert. For this pale
young Prince of the Asturias, who
in the face of Alfonso's objections
traded his birthright for the love
of Edelmira Sampedro, a Cuban
beauty of "commoner" blood, can
never afford to attempt any but
the most sedentary occupation.
Cursed by Kings Disease"
Cursed by Kings Disease" or
haemophilia, as most of the male
lineage of the Bourbons have been
for generations, the doctors said,
the Counts physical disabilities
are evident to everyone.
Since his arrival here Thursday
to join the dark-eyed Cuban girl
he married two years ago after
jilting Kira Romanoff, Russian
Princess of imperial blood, the
Prince has walked about only with
the aid of two canes. He pauseS
often and rests frequently, as
though his blood stream, wearied
from fighting the strange haemo-
philiac scourge, rebels at physical
activity.
His affliction is one of the
rarest on medical annals. Both
in this country and in Europe,
only one person in from so to IS
thousand is afflicted. It is eSti-
mated in medical circles that
there are less than 100 haemo-
philiacs in greater New York. In
Washington, D. c., only 10 are
known, and in Chicago and Phila-
delphia the proportion is about
the same.

COLLEGE HEADS
HOME BLASTED

TIFFTN, Ohio, June G.N.SO.
The home Of DR.. Charles E. Miller,
president of Heidelberg College,
was damaged on the campus here
early today by a heavy dynamite
blast which blew the porch to
fragments and shook the entire
east section of the city.
DR.. Miller, his wife and their
daughter, Gretchen, were asleep
in the house at the time. AL
though their beds were showered
with glass from shattered win
dows, they escaped injury.

medicos of Europe have treated
the Prince and the other royal VIC
Tins of its ravageS.
Like govt. haemophilia is heredi-
tary and is transmitted through
the female line to the male mem
bers of the family. Because Of an
endocrine secretion, females are
rarely afflicted, even though they
transmit the dread blight to their
offspring.
The disease bring about a fail
ure of the CLOTHING mechanism Of
the blood. Even the slightest cut,
such as one produced from shaw
ing, is likely to be fatal. A slight
bruise, with no skin abrasion what
soever, may also result in death,
if it ruptureS blood vessels beneath
the skin.
Relief Only Temporary
It is believed that the prince is,
and has been, treated according
to the most scientific methods
which consists largely in blood
transfusions.
Female blood is utilized in this
process, best results being obtained
from the blood of a woman in the
family of the victim. The blood
is injected into the muscular
centerS of haemophiliacS, furnish
ing sufficient clothing mechanism
to heal a cut or bruise.
Sufferers wear tightly fitting
rubber suit as an additional aid
to the treatment of the malady.
But with the passage of time,
the transfused blood is gradually
absorbed and unified with the
victims blood, the other devices
lose their efficiency, and once
more the spectre of a bleeding
death appears.

Fire, Flood Level Quota
In Wake of Biz Quake

KARACHI, India, June 1
U.N.S0.-Fre anu flood added
today to the havoc wrought by
the disastrous earthquake at
Quetta.
Brief resumption of telegraph
service between Karachi and the
stricken capital of British Balu-
chistan afforded new details of
the utter chaos which followed
the quake, one of the worst in
Indian history.
Fire swept the bazaar district,
causing great damage, while in
other sections of the city water
gushing from assures in the earth
flooded many streets several feet
deep.
After hours of work, a tenn
porary telegraph wire was opened
between Quetta and Karachi
but was in operation less than
hour when it went dead.
Men Just Disappear
A special train bearing doctors,
nurses and medical supplies for
Quetta arrived there this after
noon.
While most of Quetta was de-
stroyed, some new buildings es-
capped, including the convent
school attended by the children of
many European families.
All nuns, priests and children in
the convent and adjoining church
at the time of the quake are safe.
The few minutes Of direct tele-
graph communication enabled the
first brief glimpSes of the disaster
to be seen. The telegraph master
reported four-fifthS of his staff had
disappeared" in the quake.
Six houses in the railway colony
collapsed instantly when the quake
struck, burying hapleSS families in
their ruins.
Sees Them Buried

home when he felt the first tremor.
arrived in time to see his wife and
children, who were just rushing
for the doorway, buried before his

HOLLYWOOD, June 1 G.N.SD.
The breach which separated Do
lores Costello, estranged wife Of
John Barrymore, and her sister,
Helene Costello, from their father,
Maurice Costello, former screen
idol, today apparently had been
healed.
AS Mr.. Costello continued his
recovery from a nervous break
down his two daughters were al
most constantly at his bedside.
What part the eStrangement of
Dolores and Mr.. Barrymore played
in the reconciliation is not known,
but it was recalled that following
their marriage, in the So-called
union of the royal families of the
stage and screen, the rift in the
Costello family appeared to widen.
