SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, FRENCH CRY TO REPUDIATE WAR DEBT HOLDS NEW REASON FOR ALIENATION OF FRIENDSHIP 1925 Congressional Indignation Blazes in| Answer of Senator Borah to Attack of French Deputy ‘ By DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The prompt reply made by Senator Borah, chairman of committee, to Louis Marin, of the French chamber of depu- | the senate foreign relations ties, indicates the temper of the American government as to the non-payment by the French government of her debt. For a fortnight, the tension which followed the speech of the Clementel, has beer pectation that the 1 govern ment would present formal propos als to fund the debt owed to Amer- a ° ica. It needed only the spark fur. nished by Deputy Marin set off other blaze of congressional in ration. While it is true that M. Marin rep. resents the minority in the Frenc’ chamber, nevertheless his views cc incide so nearly with those expresy d quarters abc America 1 tween minority and majority opt the Atla othe war, has been made by the conter rench t be ilon Statesmen and publicists th cause France sacrificed more hun lives than did America, the latter should either cancel or scale down the three and a half billion dollars borrowed by France from the Amer ne French have tion which could send overseas two million men and raise unparalleled sums of money me e the cause of dem would gener osity with respect to war delsts. What the French do not under. stand is the change shingtor elf toward Europe- not gen ally’ appreciated in Parls that ance itself is as much responsib! for the change in opinion on thie side of the Atlantic toward war is sues as any alleged materialism in America, » refusal of France for several ¥ to Usten to the ap- peals from America for a’settlement of the reparations problem, together with the French attitude of opposi tion to the reduction of land arma ment has alienated many of her friends in Washington. Premier Poincare is as much re sponsible as any French statesnfan for the estrangement. There are few men in congress to- ho feel the war accomplished hat its slogans claimed were the rue objectives of the conflict and his is particularly true of the battle cry “No annexations | demnities” which’ stim Amer magination pectacle of quasi-anfiexation where. y German colonies passed into the control, if not the. exact possession of the French at Versailles, has not been forgotten and Senator Borah n his speech, has just made articu- ate a spirit of criticism. about the mandate system which has been brewing for the last five years. When the French contend that they have made large sacrifices in man power, there is no let up in the sympathy and admiration which has always keen felt for the heroic yullu. But that picture has been, to ‘o large extent, overshadowed by the scpitoble for the spolls of war en meered by the Frencyh politicians ao that now congress is disposed, as enator Borah, to ask what were ssets which France acquired since the war. «It is not forgotten t besides Alsace-Loraine, with its luable mineral resources, the h addi materially to their col nial wealth.

FORT WORTH, Tex., Jan. 24.—A fall ‘of 2,500 feet without a scratch! Sounds impossible—but that was |the thrilling experience of Frank parachute Armstrong, Fort jumper. And not the least of this miracu lous escape was the death-defying efforts of Herbert Kindred, aviator, who nosed his plane stragiht dow: on full motor, in an effort to get beneath the, falling man. Kindred had ascended to the 2,500- foot level and Armstrong had pre: pared his parachute along the fuselage of the plane for the jump. A projection on the tail of the plane tore a‘ great rent in the para chute, which failed to open as Arm- strong pushed off into space. Kindred, seeing the plight of his companion, dived straight down, hoping to turn under Armstrong as he plunged downward with meteoric swiftness. The plane passed under Arm strong, missing him by inches, and Kindred leveled off the ship and watched the apparently death plunge of his partner.
