When settlements in these cases have becn accomplished, the policy of debt consolidation Inaugu- rated by the Anglo-American agree- ment will at last bear fruit.

All BOY, 17, TO RECEIVE UNIVERSITY DEGREE Pennsylvanian, Soon to Be Grad- uated by Catholic U., Youngest to Win Honor in D. C. Ulric James MacHale, at the age of 17, will be the youngest the L)elslrlut of '(y'olurfihlu b\livul;]:n'ilg ever been gr: o ' Sl graduated with o bachelor’s This year the Catholic University will present young MacHale with a degree of bachelor of arts, after hav- ing completed the required four years academic course. MacHale, who is a native of Forest City, Pa., celebrated his 17th birthday last week. The prospective graduate entered the Unlversity School of Letters in the Full of 1922, and was then still wearing short trousers. He was graduated from St. Rose's Academy in Carbondale, Pa., where he completed his high school course with unusual merit in two years. Regulations of the School of Let- ters that a candidate for entrance be ut least 17 years of age, were, after careful investigation and examination, waived in his case. The course fol- )?\\'ed by MacHale prescribes Latin, Greek, two modern languages, philos- history, science and co-ordinate subjects, and despite his age, his lemic excelience s attested by the that he was named recently by his dean as an eligible candidate for the offl { valedictoria reparations from Germany, either di- rectly or indirectly. It is an ex- traordinary situation which has de- veloped, all these channels of pres- sure for debt extraction which will draw reparations from the devastated and stricken countries of Europe and pass them in an unbroken stream across the Atlantic to a wealthy and prosperous nation.” It.is not sure that the United States will find the situation to her real in- terest; that she will have the advan- tage she already had of being able to use moral pressure on European na- tions. France will not mind if American control prevents future wars better than the League of Nations can do. But from the material viewpoint, economists and financiers agree that payment of the debts will do more harm to the creditor than to the ULRIC JAMES MACHALE NARCISSUS_SHOW TO OPEN Annual Display to Be Held in Ta- koma Park Library.

J By the Associated Pres: PARIS, April 17.—A general of- fensive against the floating debt was launched today, when a committee, of which President Doumergue is honor- ary president and Marshal Joffre commagder-in-chief, was formally in- stalled for the purpose of receiving voluntary contributions for ' sinking fund. The primary object of the free offering sinking fund of which the committee will take charge is to re- duce the shortterm bonds so that they no longer will menace the treas- ury. The fund will eventually serve to retire interallied war debts, as well as domestic loans, though other measures are expected to eke out the proceeds of the voluntary subscrip- tions. People in all walks of life seem eager to do their bit for Joffre and the French treasury in the new battle of the Marne, and the prospects are that the campaign which during the war brought 1,500,000,000 francs in gold into the Bank of France will be cast into the shade. The voluntary fund is not counted upon to work the miracle alone of French financial salvation, but the spirit it develops is expected to help largely in solving France's financial dificulties. Another low record for the franc was registered today. This morning the dollar purchased 29.2, and its posi- tion in exchange is causing the gov- ernment much anxiety. OLIVER DURANT DIES. Oliver Durant, who was a pioneer promoter of mining development in the northwest and a resident of Wash- ington for the past 12 years, died yesterday in his apartment at the Cairo Hoel in his 88th year. Mr. Durant was born in Buffalo, but moved west at an early age and after settling at Salt Lake City became associated with numerous mining en- terprises and also was a contractor in the building of the Union Pacific Rail- road. Mr. Durant married Miss Mary Turner Griffin of Culpeper, Va., who died several years ago.

Even the Germans realize these facts. The Berlin Morgenpost said re- : “A nation cannot be isolated, er economically or politically.
