But theone I’ve quoted emphasizes how far we are from the war. Jill item that emphasizes how long ago it was. General von Kluck received a cable at his home in Berlin today. That cable came from high army and navy officers and outstanding personalities In American political life. It was a cable of good will. It was signed by some of Uncle Sam’s generals and admirals. United States senators, and others. One sentence in the cable reads: "American veterans look back through the years with respect for their foemen. We salute you and Field Marshall ] i I il if tiL/U jiruMilux Washington reporters are commenting on one vital point in connection with Armistice Day. After fourteen years of so-called peace, the costs of the World War are still unpaid. The amount of debts incurred through the conflict stands today at^three hundred billions. The New JS York World Telegram emphasized this figure. Three hundred \ billions! The World Telegram also points out that the nations of the world are spending more today on their armies and navies than they were before the great war. The world!s armament bills fee^ay amount to five and a half billions A a year. In 1913 they were only spending the comparatively mild sum of two and three-quarter billions. That seems to be the upshot of what four years of World War have taught us. Political observers have been predicting for sometime that Europe is going to make a concerted drive on Uncle Sam to scale down those debts. Well, here it is. The prophecy has come true. First John Bull and then France. John Bull told his hard luck story yesterday, and notified both France and Italy what he was doing. Thereupon the French government announced officially that it too would ask the United States to reconsider the entire debt ojuestion. There are two sides to these European debts. The observers divide them into political and commercial debts. The political debts, of course, being the moneys that foreign governments owe$ to the United states government. The commercial debts i on the other hand, are those which the foreign countries owe to banks and private investors in America. ■R. s. ‘f When the last Bm budget was made the A ^ Treasury counted on receiving a certain amount money xrom European srovernmenl^by December 15th. xhe outlook «.ccorping - 2 today’s news is that the chances for Uncle Sara’s receiving any of those instalment payments are less than slim. Clinton Gilbert wires the Philadelphia Ledger from Washington that the most probable immediate solution of this terrific debt question will be a moratorium until Mr, Roosevelt takes office in March. Gilbert points out that whatever is done will have to accord with the ideas of the President-elect. He says further that Mr. Roosevelt’s attitude towards the debts was not made very clear during the campaign, although he did declare against cancellation. The amount due to Uncle Sam from France and Great Britain on December 15th is one hundred and twenty- three millions.

MR, JULIAN DUGUID: Certainly, Mr. Thomas. The jaguar, or tiger, as we call it in South America, la a very much larger and fiercer animal than we realize in civilization. In the Xarayes Marshes, the exact geographical center of South America, the tiger weighs 300 to 350 pounds; the size of a medium Bengal tiger or African lion. Lately we took a scu64 to Rowland.

Dio matter how sincerely ex-mayor Jimmie Walker of New York tries to avoid the limelight, it still beats on him. On the front pages of the wriWSJ^newspapersWe /v A A read that, without any announcement at all, he had sailed on the Conte Grande of the Italian Line on his way to pay a visit to the Maharajah of Mysore, one of the fabulously wealthy of the independent princes of India. ^ -Zees*. ^ -iKf cm ; t. tr awe.

At any rate, Jimmie is out of politics and apparently wanted no publicity. and others to their advantage, the surest way of getting publicity on the North American continent, is to try to avoid it. The minute the newspapers discovered Jimmie was sailing on the Conte Grande, a corps of correspondents was dispatched to report his movements, his diet, his exercise, and last but not least - oh very far from least - his costumes.— So far the boys seem to have been out of luck.

He calls attention to the fact that the St. Mary’s team is made up largely of chaps whose names are Vivaldi, Brovelli, Canrimis, Nichelini, Steponvich, and so on.
