It should be promptly put in the way of repayment’ with a reasonable rate of interest. For instance, ‘America might stipulate interest at the rate of 8 per cent or 31-2 per cgnt, and an annual sinking fund of one per cent, beginning after, say, five | years, The Refunding Commission ought to be empow- ered, according to its judgment, to postpone the begin- ning of interest payment likewise for five years. . “Ag for the remaining 7 1-4 billion dollars, or there- abouts, there should be no attempt to apply the same formula to every country. The Refunding Commission should go thoroughly into the economic and financial and general situation of all countries concerned and make a fair and fina] settlement, subject to the approv- al of Congress. “Even.upon Ameri.ca’s financially most.potent debtor, Great Britain, she should not impose the exceedingly heavy burden of paying 4 1-4 per cent interest from the but to those who see in this a de-Y: cline of Bolshevism ‘it is pointed out | that the safety razor known—New Castle (Ind) Courier. | ship.

Such a sink- ing_.f,und, if invested at the rate of four-per cent, would extmgu:sh the debt in forty seven years. In addition to sinking fund of three-quarters of one per cent, interest should be ch ed on the debt at the rate of, say, 2 per. cent for the first period of eight years, 2 1-2 per cent for the second, 3 per cent for the third, 3 1-2 per cent for the fourth, 4 per cent for the fifth and'4 1 the! final: seyen years’ period. “A similar formula might be applied -2 per cent for :in the case of ' France, m-akipg the sinking fund’ one-half of one per cent only, .wluch, if invested at the rate of four per cent would extinguish the debt in fifty-six years, and charge a purely nominal rate of interest, or perhaps no fiitérest at'all; for the first eight years’ period.

Spirit—a fiery, overwhelming confidence that makes every thing go- Each man of the eleven has this kund of spirit developed to the highest de- 1t on the’ field. ! Now ag to'the particular breadth of the team as'thus put together, we have these features: practically every man in the backfield is a threat, not of one kind-of ‘attack, but of three, {while in- the lines!we have ends who {lcan block tackles; tackles who can get ithe jump -on ‘their guards and then clean up the secondary; guards who Ican open holes, can take part in fur- {ther interference, and a center.ac- * icurate and steady.in his passing and 'still useful instantly after the "pass is made. We have ends specially adept in taking forward passes with- 'out checking their stride, taking it at ?almost any “angle and instantly sens- ing the position of the opponents and "dodging or getting away. All four of | the backfield can’ throw a pass or go through and ‘receive it,-and they are strong enough mot to be bumped ~ or unsteadied in this part of the play. .
