FRANCE STUBS Gil AID SILENT. HER BACK TO ILL Germany Must Pay People Sullenly Tired of Making Further Sacrifice.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS WASHINGTON, Jan. 10—France tcxiay stands with her back to tho j wall. Financially ruined by the war. ' France has lived since the armistice almost solely on the belief that she ' would soon collect large sums ofi money from Germany by way of reparations. Only by clinging to this slender hope has she been able to keep her r.cse above water, ff this hope proves bat a delusion, anything and everything Is possible. To get France's flight even faintly, ~ust cast your eyes over these figures: Before the war France's debt amounted to $6,3f>4,000,000 —by far and away the biggest of any nation in the world. It was largely the result of the war of IS7O. At the end of the last war she owed more than seven times that, or about $l,lOO per | person. Debt Keeps Mounting And the debt has kept on growing, j In 1921 the interest on Ihe debt amounted to 60.D per cent of France’s j total revenue. By 1922 It had grown ; to 69.9 per cent, and for 1923, 54 1 per cent. For one thing, Germany—which, i under the treaty of Versailles, was : to have undertaken the reconstruction j of war-shattered Northern France — : failed to come through. And the task j of making habitable this district —one- j sixteenth of France's total area—had ; to be financed by France. Some 80,000,000,000 francs were bor rowed for this purpose, but with the 1 understanding that Germany would one day make it good. Interest on this sum costs France 4,000,000,000 francs a year. Meantime, France has not been able to make her income keep up with the outgo. She had a S.noo.ooo.imo franc deficit in 1920; a 1 deficit in 1922, and a 4.000,00i,00'* a- iicit—exactly equal to the interest on the borrowed reparations money—for 1922. Citizens Reach Limit And the French citizen has already reached very nearly the limit <>f his endurance In the way of taxes, the popular notion to the contrary notwithstanding.

Nicholson s Illusions Revealed by Reporter

“The funniest thing about Meredith Nicholson is that he is a type that isn't typical," says a girl reporter of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, in an article. “Illusions of Mr. Nicholson Really an Asset to Author.” Mr. Nicholson regards himself as a typical Hoosler, with all the views, ideals, aims, hopes and apprehensions of a middle westerner, the reporter affirms. “And though Mr. Nicholson likes to think of himself as a child of the provinces, he is in reality, and in sent over 9,000,000 of their men to war and fought four heart-breaking, soul-racking years to free France from the invading Germans, the mood of the French people today is comprehensibly grim. They are sullenly tired of being called on to make further sacrifices. Let Germany try it awhile, they say. No French government which did net take this mood into consideration could live for a day. Yet Poincare, Briand, Clemenceau, Millerand and the other leaders know where It may lead. The situation is one to cause shudders.

He W'rites and has written very pleasing essays for highbrow periodicals that have set forth admirably the provincial character. His primary training was in journalism, and, like all journalists, he qualifies every premise with his knowledge of the past and his hope of the future. In high political councils where he is not without honor, he is credited with the gift of propljecy due to his intense amor patriae and an Irish great-grand-mother who believed in fairies. Serenity Undisturbed. “His portrait by Wayman Adams indicates clearlyly why people have said of him he might have made a good bishop, a fair lawer, a satisfactory diplomat or a pretty good United States Senator.

But he hesitates to disturb the serenity of his mind with conjectures better left to pragmatic philosophers. “Mr. Nicholson doesn’t get excited; he views everything, including himself, with a certain disinterested interest.
