British War Debt
to Be Defaulted
Countries Owing Huge Debts to
Uncle Sam Claim Germany'S
Default Was Cause of Theirs

Great Britain informed the United
States Friday of last week that it
was defaulting on it's war debt again
on December Is, but left the door
open for new discussion Of this in
ternational sore spot.
Significantly, the British note,
when opened at the State depart
ment, was found to omit the usual
statement that Great Britain was I'M
able to meet the regular installments
on it 5000, 1885, 1913 total debt, which
have been in default since 1888.
This omission raised hope that
Britain might soon follow the lead
of France in initiating overtures
looking toward definite negotiations.
Finland to Pay
On December Is, Britain will owe
$117,67O,765 as it's regular semi-an-
nual payment plus 1868, 474,071 al
ready in arrears. Finland, owing on
December IS an installment of $751;
315, is the only one of Is debtor ma
tons which has continued to pay
regularly. 1t has already announced
that December Is installment would
be met promptly.
All the other countries are expect
ed to default again, although France
may take the opportunity to present
specific proposal for adjusting her
debt.
The French foreign minister re-
Gently expressed to American Am
bassador William G. Bullitt the de-
sire of his government to arrange a
settlement.
Followed Germany
The whole war debt structure
broke down following the cessation
of reprations payments by Ger
many and the resultant argument of
allied governments that this pre-
vented them from meeting their
own war obligations.

He wakened fairly carly in the

After breakfast he rang up the
hospital to which Ross had been
taken to enquire about him. Ross
was still alive and still uncon-
scious; he might remain uncon.
scious for several days. The doctors
did not know yet whether he would
live or not.
Mahony decided that It wonld be
best to leave the next move to his

that move would take. Lawson

Nevertheless his enemies, not

move against him for their own pro-

In the meantime It might not be

SEPTEMBER 22 TO
OCTOBER FL

LIBRA men are ambitious, and
in youth have to make their own
way in the world. Make splendid
stock brokers and financiers; en-
thusiastic, and reverses produce no
effect; quick at recovering lost
ground. They are fascinating,
and always On the qui vive for
new objects of attraction. Re-
verse are the Libra women, who
are careless about money matters,
and dislike the financial part OF
any transaction. Libra people
have a keen sense of justice.
They are liberal to a fault, and
will give away more than half
they possess and never expect any
return. The women are very SEN
sitive to harmony and inharmony,
and can tell the moment they en-
ter a house the conditions prevail
ing therein. Are very kind and
averse to cruelty. Are neat.
When angry, which is seldom, they
leave nothing dnsaid. One born
under Libra should never unite
with one born between February
10 and LIarch 81 (Pisces) or Aug
ust % and September % tVirgo);
unite with those born November
% and December 81 (Sagittarius) I,
January 20 and February 10
(Aquarius), March 21-April 10
(Aries). The OPAL will bring all

high tide but also exposed to the
sun-a big undertaking for a ter.
rapin who spends all her life NOV
ing about the river bed. However, the
ideal spot is found, though 1t often
takes the searcher some distance from
home.
She goes about the task of scooping
out the sand with lot Of vigor and
determination, especially If she has
had long trek to find the spot. She
crawls about the sand, forming q
hollow, and when the hole Is deep
enough to suit her she lays several
dozen eggs usually two for the
younger females, then she crawls
out of the deep sand pocket she had
made and filled with eggs. In making
her exit she tits her body at an
angle, so that all the sand flows of
her back and covers the eggs. They
are perfectly round, with a thin, hard
shell, when laid.
Having done her duty as she sees it,
she makes the long journey back to
her watery home, unless there is one
close by, or she has been fortunate
enough to find a sandy spot close in.
The sun beats down upon the sand,
| making it hot enough to incubate the
eggs. Finally, when the youngsters
hatch, they, with one accord" make
for the water. The shells are soft
and tender, but a few hours in the
air soon hardens them. Without les
sons or observation, the wee babies
learn to pick up food in the shadows,
venturing into deeper water as they
gain courage and strength.
