Draping the UPHOLDS DEMAND BY -5, ON DEBTORS Senator Shortridge Tells Bankers Obligations Should Be Collected. That America Is morally, legally and internationally right in demanding that European natlons pay their war indebtedness at reasonable perlods is the firm conviction of Senator Samuel N. Shortridge of California, expressed in an address at the eighteenth an- nual banquet of the Washington Chapter, Amcrican Institute of Bank- ing. at the New .\\'lllurd Hotel last i night. Senator Shortridge, who is a mem- ber of the Senate commlittee on bank- ing and currency, suld that he is highly In favor of the commission to refund the European debt, and de- clured that as fast as Amerlca's out- standing obligations fell due pay- ments of similar sums by those in- debted to this country should be col- lected. Cancellation Out of Question. “Be not misled,” he sald; “the great statesmen and financiers of foreign countries are looking out for their own interests, and while it is doubt- them to pay us . cance is out of the tion. As individual banks keep a steady eye on their liabilities, so must this nation ever keep an eye on the assets and liabilities of America in order that it might be éver sol- vent, free from bankruptey and in time lift the great burden from the tax-oppressed of the country." He sald that there migit be diffi- culty i the Senate confirming the ap- pointments of Senator .Smoot and Representative Burton, on constitu- tional grounds, but that he Indorsed President Harding’s plan of handling the situation. Pays Tribute to Institute. The California legislator pald high tribute to the American Institute of Banking, lauded the work accom- plished by the Federal Reserve Board and declared that the banking sys- tem of the United States is resting upon a “settled, firm and safe founda- tion, carried on by men of absolute integrity and capacity.” In conclusion, he siressed the ne- cessity of closing the Atlantic ocean, if need be, to those of bolshevlist ten- dencies. who would seek -to tear down “the greatest and fairest gow ernment in the world today,” and pleaded for the support of the whole ation in California’s fighi against the “yellow peril.” Over 600 Guests Present.

Others have been erected in front of West- the Abbey's west doors. Similar stands in front of Buckingham Pal- ace have been rescrved for wounded soldiers, in accordance with the {vishes of their majesties. On the balcony above the west doors of the abbey, several pilasters have been cut away to assure the seatholders in the stand a clearer \;le\v of the arrival and departure of the wedding party. The bridal party will. step from carriages and motor cars.onto a great red carpet, which extends from the altar steps to the west door and thence, under a }long red’ and white striped canopy | with closed sides, to the sidewalk.

Inside the abbey rows of seats twelve d®ep have been erected on either side from the central alsles to the walls of the nave, extending al- most to the sacrarium. These have been ingeniously bullt around the pillars and over the stalls. There are passages beneath, through which the wedding guests will proceed to their seats, as none but those com- posing the three royal processions to the altar may pass through the central red-carpeted aisle. The framework of the stands has been coated with gray paint, making them harmonize with the ancient stone walls. 4 The order of ceremonial, prepared by the state chamberlain and issued this afternoon, constitutes the of- cial guide for the movements of all those participating in the wedding service.

LONDON; February 25.—The ear- liest ‘precedent for a princess of the royal household to marry one of her father's subjects is not one with the usual’ story book ending. in which the couple “lived happily ever after.” The bride in that instance was Lady Joan, daughter of Edward 1, yLong Shanks,” who hoped by giving her to the Earl of Gloucester and Hertford to secure the earl's loyalty and sup- port. The wedding occurred in the 1290, when the princess was nine ars old. She was widowed w twenty-three vears of age and secret- 1y married Ralph de Monthermer, a handsome squire, who formerly had been in her husband's servi The king's fury, when knowledge of the marriage reached him, resulted in the imprisonment of his son-in-law. but the entreaties of his daughter finally year | secured her husband’'s releas The | king in relenting summoned de Mon- | thermer to parliament, made him a privy _councilor and _invested him with many appointments of a lucra- tive nature.

It was cut out in the ! bureau of the budget. The sireet is {only a temporary roadway of cinders | and mud, and it is lined on both sides i by occupied homes which have becn {there for several years. Thcre is about a half square of Arkansas ave- nue from Farragut street 1o Georgia avenue which is in need of improve- ment. It is in worse condition than that between Emerson and IFarragut streets, Arkansas avenue on its southern end, connects with tne pro- posed Piney Branch parkway, and when improved will be a part »f the park driveway system of the Listrict. Other Deplorable Conditions. On the east side of Georgia ave- nue there are streets which are nothing but deep ruts of mud, and the steep grades leading eastward from Georgia avenue only increase the difficulties of those who seek to negotiate these highwavs. These streets, 100, are the scenes of new home developments. There is the case of Crittenden street east of Georgia avenue, a sea of mud, and at the top of the hill, 9th street run- ning south, so dangerous, that ap- parently no automobile has yet tried 1o negotiate it, for there were no wheel tracks in the soft red clay. This street is lined with occupied homes. Buchanan street, one square south, 1s in much the same condition. An ‘estimate of $6,100 for the pav- ing of Varnum street from 7th street to Grant Circle made by the Com- missioners was stricken out in the burcau of the budget. This street is typical of many other streets in the vicinity, the roadway consisting of cinders, discarded brick and other building materials. Just around the corner, to the west and north, is a square of T7th street, between Var- num and Webster street. One side of this street is lined with fine homes which have been standing for several years, and there is a new building operation on the east side. But the street is impassable, the roadbed bhe- ling of black cinders, now very soft, and the ruts are from 15 to 18 inches deep. Then there is Webster street {between 7th street and lllinois av inue, in almost as bad condition. A propriations were not asked for im- proving the latter two streets. One Block to Be Paved. Just up the corner from this is II- linois avenue. The Commissioners asked for and the House allowed an appropriation of $7,500 for paving this highway for one block between ebster znd Allison streets. It is {lined on the west by detached homes, and the street is of cinders, which have been cut up by traffic. That part of this highway between Web- ster and Grant Circle is in much the same condition. Fourth street from Taylor to Up- shur street, and also 3d street be- tween the same streets, scenes of new and occupied homes, are in need of paving. An appropriation of $5,000 for improving the former street was asked by the commissioners, but it was rejected in the bureau of the budget. The bureau of the budget also re- jected an estimate for the paving of Allison street from Illinois avenue to 7th street. This street is typical of those found In the neighborhood, |and when the Star man arrived there he found a truck stuck and the chauf- | feur vainly trying to jack the wheels | up 80 that be could get it out.

The estimate calid for an appropriation of $9,900 for paving. This government bureau also rejected estimates for the paving of Newton and Otis streets from Georgia avenue to New Hampshire avenue, both In a bad state of repair. The House allowed $8,400 for the paving of Upshur street from New Hampshire avenue to ith street, a street of red clay. cut deep by heavy trucks carrying materials to a build- inz operation now going on there.
