LOANS ABROAD LEAD TO WARS, LEWISASSERTS Keep Money at Home, Is Advice of Ex-Senator in Speech Here. Lawyers of America should support the spirit of the Kellogg peace pact and rescue it from any partisan political prejudice wherever possible former United States Senator James Hamilton Lewis, Chicago, told the joint meeting of the Indianapolis and Indiana Bar as--sociations at the Columbia Club Thursday night. The Lewis address followed a dinner. Continued and additional loans to Europe were cited by the speaker as dangerous to the spirit of the pact. “We have loaned European nations and people since the world war $12,000,000,000 and are sending our gold to Europe in sums of $500,000,000 a year,” Lewis asserted. Loans Make U. S. Ally “We never could denounce a war of any people who owed us and j whose defeat would mean the destruction of our loan. To the contrary, we would be forced to aid our debtor nation in any conflict. ‘We ever would protest that the demands of the lands indebted to us were just and their war against any opponent was righteous. “Let it be understood that these countries which are in debt to usand whose people are in debt to our citizens, wel 1 understand this—our necessary position. Such countries will hasten to take advantage of such situation to carry out any policy of resentment or conquest it may have in contemplation against any neighbor or rival. "Thus it is that our loans of money to Europe makes us an ally in any war declared by any debtor nation of America.” “Why of World War” Lewis then cited the armed support of debtor administrations in Haiti and San Domingo under the Wilson and Taft administrations as examples in point. “Yet us remember.” he continued, “that we never would Rave been at war with Germany had it not been that Germany resented our supplies and credits to the nations which were opposing her in conflict on land and sea. It was this commercial invasion that brought us into the military conflict of such sanquinary and serious results to our republic. "From this let us learn the lesson that the only way we can enforce peace between nations on the Kellogg peace pact is to occuply a neutral position where he truly can arbitrate without the charge of partiality and prejudice.” Keeking Money at Home Tjewis then, explained his method ; of bringing about this condition. It; is to liquidate the loans and then keep our money at home. Trading with Europe should be in the form of raw materials and manufactures he contended. “Let our new America look up and look out. and in her international policy of the present, beware of a threatening future,” he advised in closing. ‘Tt is for the American lawyer to oe the sentinel to cry out the advance or the alarm that is demanded by the true interests of our America.” GAMBLING GETS LEASE ON LIFE IN CHILE Concession if Valparaiso Casino Given Three Month Extention.

By Science Service BERLIN, Jan. 18.—The marvelous local sense of wild geese was tested by the Swedish naturalist and writer Bert Berg, according to Dr. Theodore G. Ahrens, well-known Berlin naturalist. He had succeeded in accustoming these shy birds to himself at his home, situated on a remote and uninhabited coast region of Sweden. The wild geese here finally ate from his hands, until they departed upon their southern migration in the autumn. While Dr. Berg was sojourning at his home on the coast in the following spring he noticed one day sixteen wild geese high in the sky, approaching from the south. While he was watching, they descended and came up to him to feed from his hands as formerly. Without apparent difficulty they bad found their way from distant Africa to this spot, where they had a friend whom they remembered in spite of the separation of time and space. ‘AS the”ROMANS DO’ Plan Doesn't Work So Well for Paris Check Writer. Bn United Press PARIS, Jan. 18.—-A certain practical joker among the rich men of Paris is causing banks and trades-people a lot of annoyance by making out his checks in Roman numbers. “Pay to the order of John Doe CXLIV francs. ...” reads one check, for example. So far none of the banks has refused to honor the checks, but in each ca&e the recipients have been shunted from office to office. In each case it has taken no less than an hour to obtain the money.

PLAN TO TUBE CHANNEL AGAIN STIRSENGLAND $1,000,000,000 Project for Continent Link Scored by Army Faction. LONDON. Jan. 18.—The English Channel tunnel, an engineering scheme of vast proportions never accepted and never discarded, has been brought up again and the plans are before Premier Baldwin as president of the committee of national defense. In the years gone by every suggestion for the linking of England with the Continent has been vetoed by the “military authorities,” those tacticians and strategists upon whose shoulders rests the safety of the realm. Just what a continental enemy could bring to bear to keep open a twenty or thirty foot tunnel when a couple of charges of TNT would flood it never has been made plain. Studies 30 Years on Plan William Collard, who has spent thirty years studying the problem of tunneling under the Channel, has a plan that would make the tunnel the longest in the world, for it would be forty-four miles in length. This allows for eleven miles in England beyond the coast and nine miles in France. These distances are considered n scessary to allow for the declivity to the channel section. The great outstanding feature in favor of the present scheme is that no state subsidy ns deemed necessary or will state aid be asked. The raising of nearly $1,000,000,000 for the project does not dampen the enthusiasm of the promoters, who say financiers in England, France and America have studied the proposition in every least detail and are convinced that such a tunnel will pay. Traffic Is Ample Justification Present expenditure for passengers and freight between England and France is represented as

ample justification for the outlay of such a vast sum. Expectation of increased traffic is held out. The factors ini favor of going ahead with this great enterprise from the English government’s point of view are that some 50,000 men would be employed for a period of six years—a bright prospect in this day of unemployment and doles —and that the government is not being asked to supply a penny. The actual tunnel would consist of two tubes, each with broad-gauge track, and thd line would, naturally, be electrified. But the scheme does
