The aggregate of such debts of Al

at •60,000,000 by the unsigned writ

“seaall disposed to imagine we hav«
some ingenuiaua schemes of evading1
• our financial responsibility by getting'
out on the backs of out allies, or ofl
Germany, by some kind of a pooling i
of dab la."
The writer, whose article ia pub
lish ad without comment by tha Past,
regrata that the question of all debts
waa not settled er at bat. moie thor
oughly ventilated at the peace con
ference "instead of devoting as much
time to discussing Mr. Wilson's pet
project of a league of nations." Hr
summarises hit conception of 'the
American viewpoint of tha debt thus
continuing:
‘‘America’s views on the subject of
European indebtedness to herself. In
cluding our own, are curiously di
verse. One 1* tha hard standpoint of
regarding such a debt as a business

SOME LEGAL FACTS
We have had several inquiries o
late in regard to the general questioi
of rights. The following from th
i Farmer’s Business Handbook by Rob
ierts giver a general idea of the sofa
jjtet.
j In many localities the value of wa
ter is such that special laws have beei
framed and passed regulating wate
, rights. In general, however, it is th
i law that the riprarlan owner—that h
Ike one whose lands are bounded u
crossed by a Stream—has the righ
i to tho use of the weather of the
; stream for all domestic or faim put
, poses, or other reasonable purpose
I ns tanking a mill, and the like, aa
( that no man may so divert the wate
from the stream aa to interfere wit
r that right,
It 1s Impracticable hero to go int
. the matter of the rights of mlll-owi
r are. For oar purpose it is lufllcior
i to say that, beginning at th* nfl>urc
I of the stream, escb riparian gone
. in hi* turn, has the right to the ui
• of the sratcr for domestic purpose
t He mud no divert H or pollute
s or interfere with it In any way cae*|
. to take what ia necessary for his re«
iotibdic noma, nor may n« materially
ntsrfa-re with tha natural flow. Ko
person haa a right to divert any wa
ter by (lain*, ditch or otherwise from
Its natural channel to the damage of
aa other; and, if he does, he It Tlatila
(or ail damage canoed by sueh diver
don. except that ana may change the
channel of a stream upon hie own
land if he returns It again to ita
channel to as not to affect ths flow
on another's land; and ono may with
hold a reasonable amount of sratnr
from a stream permanently, but must
not withhold so much aa to materially
reduce the flow below, though it haa
been held, and rightly so, that on*
may use all tha water sf a stream or
apriag necessary far his ordinary
waste, such as drinking, cooklag,
washing, and for stock eves though
it lease none for tha lower proprie
tor.
In ease a person has erst laoda ia

ed that he may bring a proceeding to

across any adjoining lands, for tho
purpose of draining tha wet places.
Ths proceeding In such a ease are
quite technical, and a lawyer should
he consulted before any steps what
ever are taken. It has been held. In

stitutes a taking of private property
