It is proposed that four bCIion dollars worth of Eritlah, government securities, graaro-nteed by the United State government, will find a n-.dy market in this country If offered for general sale, and will lead to s.n arly and speedy solution of the difficulties confronting- tlw adminlsti-ation relative to the soldi-er bones and t!io forei gs dbt .

"While the president r.d h'.s advisers first favored a il(vs or some oth-r form of tax a a mfans of financing the soldiers' bonus, it was finally agreed that the most pract icabfe method of matins; the Issue would be acceptance of tho proposal tb.'.t Great Britain's Indebtedness to this country be turned into bonds which, underwritten by the t'nlted States, would be sura to provide all necessary funds to flnanco whatever ex-servlee men-s adjusted compensation may have to be provided for.'

Wait Till Toth Gets The Bill Gary Lawyer Solves a Tough Problem in Hungarian Finance. Attorney A. M. Stein of Gary, received a letter recently frcm one Oabor Toth of Hungary, Instructing him to i;et busy nrvl collect money which ho said was due him from n woman who came to the United States ten years ago. "I think her name was Davis. She raid she was going to New Tork." wrote the Hungarian. ''She owes mo SO kronen. I woild like if vhi w-euid go to New York unil soe tiife polloe and have them find iir. To -j can p-et tho 20n kronen and s-n.1 the money to me. If 5h will not pay you, send me h-r name so I can frt it." Mr. Stein is -.veil .sequaintt-J -.vith foreign oxchang-e rutos. He knows tliat Itursarian kronen are worth lea than the tajfe money issued at the Orak circns. He tlgured 200 kronen would be worth 17 cents United Slates money. Interest for ten years at 4 per cent, would br;r.g it up to C.t cents. So he saved himself the. task of burning for a possible Mrs. Davis of uncertain location. He mailed G-ajbor a check for 23 cents and enclosed a sta.tem.ent which cali"d for $60 car-fare to New Yor'. fiiO pen. while thjre and $100 attorney fees.
