Is ready to sit around a table with the representatives of foreign nations which owe it $11,500,000,000 la principal and Interest, to discuss I he funding of this tremendous war debt. Up to thla time this great obligation has merely been acknowledged by the debtor nations. It has never been placed In the form of obligations or securities. Now the government Is going to get down to the task of whipping the debt Into shape for proper handling. This commission has Just been organised, following confirmation by the senate of the nomination of Senator Beed Smoot (Utah) and Representative Theodore Burton (Ohio) as members. who with Secretary of the Treas- «rj- Mellon, Secretary of State Hughes and Secretary of Commerce Hoover constitute the commission. Negotiations already have been instituted with Great Britain, the largest debtor. As rapidly as possible negotiations with the other debtor nations wiiU be opened. 1 Preliminary steps In each case will be negotiated by the commission with each of the big debtor governments through regular diplomatic channels, bat eventually the larger nations expect to send commissions of fiscal experts and government officials to Washington to complete the plans. The obligations of the foreign governments are of four sources--those held for advances made under the various Liberty bond acts, $9,434,774,- 829.24; those received from the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy on account of sales of surplus war material, $574,673,710.24; those received from the American relief administration, $84,,093.963.55; and those held by the United States Grain corporation, $56,858^02.49, a total of $10,150,401,305.49. The interest accrued and unpaid tip to and including the last Interest period upon these obligations amounted to $1,178379,825.88, and with the added Interest since become due probably would total nearly $1,500,000,000. The obligations of foreign countries held for advances made under the Liberty bond acts are those of 11 countries, in round numbers as follows : Belgium, $347,000,000; Cuba, $8,575,000; Czechoslovakia, $61,250,- 000; France, $2,950,700,000; Great Britain, $4,166,300,000; Greece, $15,- 000,000; Italy, $1,648,000,000; Liberia, $26,000; Rumania. $23,200,000; Russia, $187,700,000; Serbia, $26,175,000. With regard to the obligations held for the sale of surplus war materials, "Some of the same nations are debtors, and also Esthonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. The obligations received from the American relief administration and those held by the United States Grain corporation add still other nations to the list of debtors, as follows: Armenia,' Austria and Hungary. The debt commission will have to •deal with a total of 18 countries.

Senator Charges Cabinet Member He* versed Policy Advocated by_F«*» 49 mer Presidents. s, Washington, May 1.--An advance "tip" given speculators on the New York Stock ex char ge, that the government had leased the Wyoming naval oil reserve to a private company, caused trading in the company's stock to jump to more than $30,000,000 In three days, while official information was withheld from the newspapers and the public. Senator La Follette, Republican of Wisconsin, charged in the senate. An investigation 6y the senate public lands committee of the Sinclair "oil deal," in-which the Wyoming Teapot Dome field was leased, and of all the circumstances surrounding the leasing of naval oil reserves in California and Wyoming tb private interests was proposed in a resolution offered. While Senator La Follette was making his charges in the senate It was understood in administration circles that the White House bad sent to the Interior department for all available papers and data regarding the transaction. Some administration senators admitted having been "tipped oft" at the White House that the President was "not entirely satisfied" with the way the Sinclair deal was engineered by Secretary Fall. Senator La Follette accused Secretaries Fall and Denby of having used their influence not only to tu-n the naval oil reserves over to private Interests, but to have naval officers opposed to that policy "ordered to sea or to other parts of the world for duty." In refutation of the .statement by Secretaries Fall and Denby that they were forced to lease the Teapot Dome reserve because it was "menaced by outside drainage," Senator La Follette read a telegram he said he had received from Governor Carey of Wyoming, a Republican. "From such information as I have been able to obtain, I believe theft'e Is no chance of the Salt Creek field draining Teapot Dome," It said. "Regardless of all other objections to agreement, a great wrong is being done Wyoming to rob it of one of its most valuable natural resources and give it nothing in return. "Further, the reserve was created to assure the navy a supply of oil at some future time when oil might not be available from other sources." 3,900 STARVING ABOARD SHIP Repatriated Greeks From Russia - Uved Sixteen Days on Sea Water and Limited Rations.

Point Pleasant, O., April 29.--The world today needs something of the spirit of General Grant, President Uurding declared In an address at ex* erdses commemorating the one hundredth anniversary of the birth here of the great military leader. 'I sometimes wonder," the President suid, "if the magnanimity of Grant, the dogged, persistent, unalterable Grunt in warfare--the unconditional surrender Grant--would not be hetpful in the world today. The great worid struggle, which we might reasonably designate the Civil war of western civilization, and in which we so credibly and helpfully participated, left peoples and nations prostrate, hardly knowing which way to turn for restoration. I cannot help but believe that something of the spirit with which Grant welcomed victory, something of his eagerness to return to peaceful ways, would have speeded the restoration and hastened the return of prosperity and happiness, without which tbfete can be no abiding peace." Mr. Harding paid tribute to Crant as "the miltary hero of the republic; a commanding figure In the military history of the world; the surpassing example of magnanimity of all times; the most striking example of the possibilities in American life; the confident and relentless commander In war, and the modest and sympathetic petitioner for peace after victory." "We know his cherishment of peace, Intensified by his Intimate knowledge of the horrors of war,", the President continued. "1 can well believe he would have approved of all that the republic has so recently done in joining other nations in lifting the burdens of armament - and promoting understandings which make war less likely. I know he would have approved, because we surrendered no independence, we gave up none of the nationality for which we fought, but we have furthered the assurance of peace, which was the supreme yearning of his brave heart. "It has been 57 years since Grant garlanded victory with magnanimity. It is 37 years since he laid iown the wearied autoblographer's pen and made Ms one and only surrender. His fame Is secure. The republic has not forgotten and will not forget. "What of the republic itself? It will not be unseemly to any that American example and American conception of justice and liberty since then have Influenced the world little less significantly than Grant's service to the Union shaped the course of our land. "A score of new repulftcs have unfurled their flags and democracy has opened new avenues of liberty and made justice more secure. Civilization, meanwhile, has made such ridvtu.-s that there has seemed a divinity pointing the way. - In our own land the enemies within have been more threatening than those without. Greed and anarchy have menaced. But a calm survey gives every reassurance. Twenty centuries of modern civilization could not have been bullded on foundations which are false. A century and a half of gratifying American achievement dates from the sacrifices of the founding fathers, and their firm structure was preserved by the patriots whom Grant commanded, and will be held secure by the patriotic citizenship of the republic today and the grateful Americans of the morrow.

Russian Delegates Dealare Tftair Country Wants Peace With Whole World--Lloyd George Is Again Winner in Taet. Gtooa, May 8.--The Russians have accepted all the terms imposed on her by the allies. This became known following publication of the allied note which demanded that Russia must unconditionally recognize its war debts. The French article requiring the supreme council's consent to Russian court decisions In foreign cases was dropped. The amendment offered by Vice Premier Bftrthou regarding a definition of private property was approved by the conference, Belgium alone objecting. The Russians are fast making separate peace. They said so in a letter to the French, following a tense meeting of the leaders of the soviet delegation. The Russian note said that the Rapallo treaty was but one of a series Weekly Marketgram of Bureau £*££ ~rae*"J The Russians said that, although there was some hostility toward France at home, that this feeling undoubtedly would be overcome. "We want peace with the whole world and we are getting it," was the keynote of the document sent to Berth ou. Lloyd George is quoted as telling Barthou that the British will deal with the Russian problem if the conference does not. The Russian delegation has been the busiest of the conference and it will not bolt the conference, no matter what happens. Their aim now, In addition to getting a loan, is for more agreements for separate peace. The allies are trying hard to agree on peace among themselves, and they may succeed. Belgium is the chief obstacle. s Lloyd George and Barthou answered sharply the Belgian plan that a stiffer definition be given to property rights. Lloyd George said that the British business men were satisfied and that was enough for him, remarking that the Belgian expert who had consented to the definition of property rights at the Cannes conference was a banker as well as a lawyer. Lloyd George won his point, but even so the clauses agreed on were unsatisfactory to the Russians, who are treating theni as a mere basis for negotiation. The final touches on the property clauses are being perfected and will be presented to the Russian^, After this is done, Barthou will go to Paris and explain to officials there the dangers of a bolt from th6 conference'aw? its consequences. v >", Washington, April ST.--For UM ending: April 22--GRAIN--Prices rose steadily throughout the week.

IT ALL bapjjB^^ Jone day between the home flltc la the kindergarten room, but it set the older folk to Kindergarten had not yet started, and Tim, a little fellow of three and a half walked over and took the oak chair that Clifton, aged five and a half, had placed beside the table fbr work. When Clifton had realised what had happened, a tug of war began, aild the two -children were soon Joined by others, most of them to aid UttJe Tim. The kindergarten teacher Mopped what she was doing and gave hgr attention to the group and, although she might have stepped over and put an end to the struggle, she only stood by and watched. It looked as though the trouble would never end, and as thovgh some one might be hurt* but still she did net Interfere; she only looked on, ready, however, to take a hand if St became necessary. At last one of the older boys was ^called to help. He studied the situation, observed that the fuss was over an oak chair, and that there was one more oak chair in the room; he solved the problem by offering the vacant chair to little Tim, and all was settled to every one's satisfaction. The teacher heaved a sigh of relief, and gave a smile of approval; it was a step to the children's development, one wail worth while. Parents Interfere Too Soon. Why can't children settle more of their own disputes? Isn't It because we Interfere too soon Instead of giving them a chance to work oat their problems for themselves? The same little Tim of the chair episode had a habit of slapping children when he became excited. He was not a malicious child, but he sometimes had an unforttinate way of expressing his friendliness, and al- AMERICANS IN MAKING Vice President Calvin Coolidge recently said: "We must remember that we have not only the present But the -future to safeguard; our obligations extend even to generations yet unborn. The unassimilated alien child menaces our children, as the alien - industrial worker, who has destruction rather than production in mind, menaces our Industry." The kindergarten is one of our most potent agencies for Americanization. Under its influence the little alien child soon becomes one of us, and carries Into his home the true spirit of democracy, Industry, honesty, fair play and patriotism.' though the teacher understood his really affectionate nature, the children of four and five who received the neighborly slaps resented them. One day Tim slapped a child who retaliated, and several blows ensued before the teacher observed the affair. Tim received one slap too many, and lie began to weep and back away. The teacher stepped in just then and remarked, "If little boys hit people, people will hit back at them, sometimes.*" It was Interesting to watch the change of expression on Tim's face, and also to Observe how his treatment of his playmates in** proved In the days following the affialr. Let Children Settle Disputes. A child psychologist recently made this remark: "I wonder if we are not having so many lawsuits today, especially contests over wills, because the children Were not allowed to settle their disputes in tbe back yard." Isn't there food for thought In that remark? Of course v«s are not to allow the seven-year-old brother to take everything from the three-year-old Bister; he may need some reasoning Just there, but when children are not too unfairly mitched, isn't it wise to give them a chaMpfto thresh oat the matter without always an Interference from their elders? There are undoubtedly many times when the grown-up must use his jadgment for the physical, as well as the moral, well-being of the chlld^ but still I plead that we first give cnlldien a chance to settle their own . BUR BARK'S ADVICE ^ Put a boy born of gentle white , parents among Indians and he..-; will grow up like an Indian. Let the child born of criminal parents have a Betting of morality, integrity and love, and the chances are that he will not grow up into a criminal, but. into an upright man.
