The President and Secretary Mel lon intend to treat the French nation with all possible consideration in settling the war debt. The French lost millions of their best men. and their courage set an example to the world. There is no doubt that an arrangement' will be reached satisfactory to both sides. The suggestion that France begin with a preliminary payment of sr>,- 000,000 a year is unsatisfactory to the Administration. That will hardly he criticised in France. The accumulated unpaid interest (Mt the French loan now amounts to $000,000,000. Interest on that sum at the rate of 5 per cent a year wnflfc) be $45,000,000. Thus the o£- fef S-U.000.000 a year, if it were made would be about half of one per ceuts on the unpaid interest. However. America is really in France’s debt. It is not that France saved us from Germany—that is. and always was a joke. The Germans would have had about as good a chance attacking the United States in 1014 as we should have had in attacking the pllanet Mars. That situation is changed now. with the flying machine »o powerful. But during the big war we were al ways safe from Germany as we were from the Ahkoond of Swat. But we and all the rest_ of the civilized world are indebted to France for the teachings of her great men of the eighteenth century. The men that established this nation—Jefferson. Franklin and others—were taught by French thinkers and writers. We owe much to France for that. Horrified at Dance Called Charles ton.

STEWART , NEA Sendee Writer e WASHINGTON —Recent events in ‘Washington probably have given a pretty widely ■pread Impression that all Isn’t quite right with American na tional defense. This impression is correct. The controversy over the merits of war versus surface forces isn’t the only trouble. Still worse, army and to some extent navy morale is fcadly shattered. ... WHETHER one considers Col. “Billy” Mitchell right or wrong in his aviation views, nobody can hold that the opinions he expresses of his superiors are those of a man in a frame of mind to work effectively toward the •nds that they deem best. I Now, Col. Mitchell is not alone bi an unfavorable opinion of these lame superiors. He simply is the Only one who says in public just What he thinks. A great part of the War De partment is fairly saturated with discontent. . Any number of officers are ready to voice such sentiments in the ■trongest terms if assured they won’t be quoted and thus get into difficulties—which not many of them can afford to disregard a’s Col. Mitchell can. Still, they do talk with an occa- CALLS DAVIDSON WEAK IN OFFENSE Line C aoh Thus Comments on the Fresliyierians’ Showing SatunUy. Davidson, Sept. 28.—” The work of the Davidson line vas good on 'he offense hut weak on lie offense.” was the verdict of Line Coach Tex Tilsen today when questioned aboiit Satur day's gain* with Wofford, in which Davidson was victor by a single touch down. Coach Youngei seemed pleased with tile work of Jim Hendrix at quarter in the plane of Sappenfie’.d who was injured in the first game. The Davidson team hit strong op position Saturday in Wofford just as \ . M. 1. had the week preceding, the Cadets winding by 9-0 while Dav idson won 7-0. Rip Major has built a great defensive team and perhaps it was for that reason that tb“ offen sive work of tile Davidson forwards looked weak. 11 bethel* the light Davidson line can hold against the great forward that Coach Garrit.v will bring to Charlotte next Saturday is about as big a question as whether the David son ends and baekfield can keep the fourVflashy backs covered. Davidson ViltAurn out everything it lias for . the Xante, in fact that Davidson coach saved quite a bit even from the past weelft for the 11 ake Forest sc nip. The game will be by far the most important played in North Carolina tnis week-end; the only other game among tile big five being that be tween State and Duke. Charlotte is, backing the game wholeheartedly, | and coming as it does on the last day of the great Made-in-Carolinas Expo sition a record breaking crowd for western North Carolina is expo* te l. The Davidson team is very well known in South Carolina, meeting fl’iee Saudlapper teams this year, and many people are expected to attend the game from the northern section of that stale. Wake Forest, ppstetss ing very good possibilities of another I championship team, will draw ex-1 tiemely well.

The complaint is that the country's whole military establish ment is running down. That it's on a peace instead of a war basis is recognized as all right, but the malcontents’ argu ment is that retrenchment has gone altogether too far. Maybe the establishment's size is adequate, they say, but its qual ity is being allowed to deteriorate. In short, the growling, in Its last analysis, is directed against the administration's economy policy. * • • Dissatisfaction in the Navy Department isn’t quite so acute. The personnel, however, does feel the pinch of tight times. Armament limitations are bitterly resented, too. However, the navy fnen are not so seriously at odds among them selves. Probably this is due in part-to the fact that they haven't been split by the aviation dispute which has rent the army. Few if any navy airmen take the position that their service has -rendered all others obsolete. Or, if they dp, they keep it to them selves. Nevertheless the departmental 1 atmosphere is one of deoression and discouragement. TODAY'S EVENTS. Wednesday, September 30. 1925. Centenary of the birth of James J.

Editor New York Mirror: The so called* prohibition has brought many evils to the country but none so great as the introduction of aieholie drinks to young girls. In the ma jority of our clubs it is now an everyday occurrence to sis- .voting girls not' yet out of their teens at drinking parties. The modern girl considers it is not stylish without I being able to partake of several i “highballs.” Recently I attended a I social function at one of New York's best hotels and was disgusted to wit- I r.ess the number of young girls who were under the influence of drink. The number of men addicted to drink is decreasing, while from my experience I begin to think that the increase in female drunkards more I than balances the decrease in males. CARL COSTELLO.
