K|k* Wedaworth. assistant secretary ef fee treasury, in charge of foreign laam gives the latest figures on ait asms owing to the United States as a result of the war and the postarmistkre events. This schedule represents the task to which the foreign debt fending commission has addressed itself and indicates the great extent of the harden which rests upon the allies to arrange payment. Twenty-seven nations signed the treaty of Versailles, which officially terminated the European war. The UnitN States has made loans to 20 nations. This is an indication of the In viable aid which the American people gave the allied cause during the war in addition to the visible assistance of men, munitions and food. A survey of what was advanced, what It was used for, and what has been reyald, should be of interest and value. Great Britain heads the list of debtors. She borrowed $4,135,818,358; she has paid $250,132,185 in Interest, but total accrued interest amounts to $611,- (044,201, bringing the total debt due to t4,744M$62,.ck>< >, Great Britain used these funds in Jhg.

All Russia's expenditures were for munitions and supplies In the United States. , „ The status of this loan Is much in doubt. The existing soviet government recognizes none of the old debts. It is not likely Russia will be recognized by the United States until die acknowledges this debt. Sixth in the list of debtors stands Poland. The loans to her were made after the treaty because prior to that event she was not a nation. Chiefly they were for food and medical sup^ plies. She borrowed $135,662,867; haa paid interest of $1,290,620; accrued interest is $17,380,785 and net debt, $153,040,652. In the same class Is Czechoslovakia, another treaty country. She borrowed, chiefly for food, $91,887,668; paid Interest of $804,178; accrued interest is $12,797,876 and net debt, $104,685,545. Serbia, a belligerent ally, borrowed $51,104,596; she has paid $(536,059; accrued Interest Is $7,336,455 and net debt, $58,441,051. Serbia bought munitions and supplies in the United States and also u»tni (tome of these funds to meet the expenses of detaining German and Austrian prisoners intrusted to her custody.* Rumania borrowed $36,128,494; she has paid $262,313; accrued interest Is $5,283,958 and net debt, $41,412,453.

Total Interest paid thus far amounts to $506,002,- 109, only about one-third of what has accrued, which is $1,422,699,662. The net debt to the United States, therefore, la $11,524,951,869.

She has paid no Interest and $2,- 069,625 has accrued, bringing the net debt to $16,088,771. This was a food loan to a large extent. Armenia borrowed $11,959,917 for food relief.

Nicaragua, another war ally, borrowed ¥170,585. That Is her net debt, for she has kept her interest paid up. It Is a curious fact that out of all the score of mighty nations which have borrowed from the United States, the relatively small Latin-American states of Cifuu and Nicaragua are the only ones which have kept their interest paid up. The least of our debtors 4s Liberia, who borrowed $26,000. She has paid fc861 iu interest; $2,868 has accrued, so the net debt is $28,868.

MASONS PUN LONDON HOME Funde of £1,000,000 Will Be Raised by British Members of Order for Projected Temple. <((S) by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) A high-powered but dusty automobile slowed down on the main street of the little village of Brompton. The owner and driver elaborately removed his goggles and halted the only citizen who happened to In sight. Bob Thorold. "Say, young feller/' called he, "what sort of a place is it out there on the turnpike} Can you get a decent meal, hey?" '%)n the. turnpike?" queried Bob Thorold. "To tell you the truth, 1 'didn't kaow there was a decent place to eat anywhere around here. Motorists usually go on to Burton." The driver-owner consulted the guide hook that had been thrust at him by one of the occupants of the touneuu. "White house at first turn to right on Romilly turnpike after leaving Brompton," he read slowly. ' "Why, that would be the Romilly itouse. Are you sure that is what the book says?" "Those are the words." "That's surprising," murmured Choroid. "It can't be right' " 1 "Drive on," came a voice from the tonneau. "I -guess the young feller hasn't woke up yet Look the place over and If it looks O. K. we'll try." And the man at the wheel obeyed, leaving Bob Thorold still1 murmuring that something must be wrong somewhere. Bob Thorold,. who kept up his ancestral home In Brompton afid spent his vacations there, walked on and presently encountered Mr. Jenkins, postmaster of Brompton. "Funny thing," said Bob; 41 met some people who spoke about having meals at a white house at the first turn to the right on Romilly turnpike after leaving Brompton. That's the Romillys. isn't it?" - Cartain sure," quoth the postmaster. "Cartahi sure. You'.ve heard bow 'tis, han't you?" "They bavent sold the place, have they?" inquired Bob. "I thought Miss Susan had vowed never to leave the old place; she Isn't dead, Is she?V "Dead, nothing. The bow and the wherefore is, so folks say, that they've lost their money--every durned cent of it, and Miss Jane had to open up the place as a kind of roadhouse for motorists. Ought to make a good thing out of it, seems to me, being as there's no other sicli place hereabouts and the autos are as thick as spatter along the turnpike. It's kinder- too bad, though, losing all their pile. 1 expect it was fool investment* I'll tell yott, Mr. Robert Thorold, what thenl ladles need and needed a long time ago was a good business man In the famllyi! eh?" Bob Thorold was annoyed at the postmaster's rather facetious lefthanded allusion to the affair, now ten years past, between Jane Romilly and himself,»but greater than his annoyance at this was his concern over the Ipsa of the Romilly fortune than had made it necessary for Jane Romilly, proud daughter of the always proud Romlllys, to turn her house Into a roadhouse and to spend her strength supervising meals for motorists-- rude, uncouth, parvenues, thought Bob Thorold, like the one he had just encountered. Bob Thorold spent the afternoon- iA a long, slow ramfele through the woods around Brompton. He was not much given to solitary rambllngs and when he did indulge in one ljt was when he had much thinking to do. Toward1 the close of the afternoon he turned vhls Bteps toward the Romilly turnpike, down the first turij to the right aiftl up the pathway that led to the ii.e>poslng white house built by the? Romlllys four generation* aga. TWO door stood open and the screen was unlocked. Within he could see thai small tables had been arranged in the front and back drawing rooms--1-ten ossfifteen In all. Of these five were occupied--five cars' were parked In , the spacious driveway that circled ^around the house. Bob entered and took his*sent at" a small table./ Presently a white clad waitress appsoached bin) with a list of dishes offered for 'that day's dinner. Bob took it with a queer thrill It was unmistakably written by Jane' Romilly. The solitary meal followed, but Jane Romilly did not appear. After it was over Bob offered his card to the maid, and asked her to take it to Miss Romilly. He wished to see her. The answer, was that Miss Romilly would see him in the old dining room across the hall. ^3he never appeared before the regular dlnersj. said the maid, and her aunt remained in her room. This, thought 'Bob, was quite In keeping with the proud spirit of fY lag, lag. f "Yes," laughed Jane. "The Work seems to agree with me, doesn't It?" * "But why didn't yoa tell me? S might have helped you. You know I once got you to promise tha,t If you ever needed help you'd forget old prejudices and send for me." "Oh, but It was too late by the time I found out," said Jane quite cheerfully. "The harm was done and the only thing I could do was to face the music. Besides, it's been a Wonderful experience. Aunt is very feeble, now. She keeps 'to. her room with her attendant and really doesn't know. And the work and the people keep me from loneliness.. I really don't know how it will all end--" Bob Thorold shuddered. It was outrageous to think of Jane Romilly spending the years" of her life feeding hungry motorists. * y He sat beside her In the dusk and while she talked cheerfully of the weather and garden crops, Bob sat with his head bowed. "Don't talk about such things,* he burst out. "Jane, Jane~*-if this had only come sooner. I was In love with you--I always have been, but I never dared to ask you, because--well, because I did not think that a poor boy like me had any right to ask Jane Romilly to marry him. I waa afraid of your money and your pride. I lenow you are still proud--" "No, Bob,, I confess the Romilly pride is slipping away. I've learned a lot In ten years, and this little business venture, which really has been absurdly profitable, has taught me that people are pretty much the same wherever you find them. No, Bob, the Romilly fortune has remained and I'm adding to It, but the old Romilly pride has spent itself--" "Then you dldnt lose your money?" gasped Bob Thorold. "But why did you start all this?** ^ "Why, that's the Joke. People doft't think I lost my money, do they? Well, that makes It all the more interesting. No, some one of the editors of the Guide Book just made a funny mistake. Probably thought our house looked like a roadhouse and assumed It was. And It does rather. So the people began to come, and they were hungry and it was such fun feeding them and so hard to explain the mistake every time, that I Just started in. I wanted to see If I had any of the Romilly bump" for business. Imagine those inquisitive old Brompton natives Just making It up out of whole cloth that I'd lost my money--p "I neve# would have come to see yon If I had not believed them." Bob. *"For my own part I'm sorry that they were wrong." Jane Romilly leaned forward and placed a fair, capable hand over one of Bob's resting oh the arm of hto chair. "Perhaps 1 cottld manage to lose it-- if--" "You really will marry me--theOl" stammered Bob.

They occurred In every pqrt of the globe, but especially In the Indian ocean and the Southern Pacific ocean. Shortly after sunset a vivid red glow suffused the entire western sky, remaining for upward of an hour, when it would slowly fade away. This strange sight was first noticed in India, where It Is said that the sun assumed a greenish tinge on nearlng the horizon. In the latitudes of North America these red sunsets were of almost nightly occurrence for several months. In striving to account for these manifestations, a number ot solutions were offered, but the'theory that met wlth ~the greatest acceptance was that the red sunsets were caused by volcanic dust and gaseous matter vomited by Krakotoa, In Sunda straits, 1 between Java and Sumatra islands. | Calculatlona demonstrated the fact; Newa that manifestations of the<red glow coincided with the course which such vapofs would take on being wafted awuy by the prevailing winds.
