A policeman came to the booth, the attraction of which was the upright board with small red dots painted here and there on its surface. For 10 cents three small knives were handed to the pure! ser, and for every one he threw and hit a red spot he received a silk shirt. When the officer asked for an explanation the proprietor pointed to Wallace Waltz, a local butcher, who was throwing and who had in his possession a pile of silk shirts. The policeman explained that no charge could be made, as Waltz was playing fair and hitting the spots. When Waltz had collected ten silk shirts he seemed to be satisfied and stopped throwing. He explained that during his spare moments in butcher shops he had made a practice of throwing knives at spots on the wall.

■" DUE U. S. FIRMS World Trade Debtors Increase Obligations to Americans by $1,500,000,000. I I UNABLE TO COLLECT NOW I - ■ Reserve Board Admits Certain Firms ■ Recognize That in These Sums of Foreign Obligations There Are 'Some Losses. ■ Washington, Aug. 17. —World trade • debtors increased their obligations to : American business concerns by sl,- ; 500.O0O.01M) in the last fiscal year. i The federal reserve board’s estimates showed that this tremendous buying of American goods on a credit basis had further swollen America’s favorable trade naiance against the world to $4,500,000,000. And this represents money due American business concerns merely as promises to pay when world exchange disorders are corrected. The debts are at present uncollectable. The balance due on trade accounts is in addition to the more than $lO,000,000,000 due the United States government in war loans. America’s credits to the rest of the world, therefore, which still remain to be paid, today stand at $14,500,I 000.000. The federal reserve board for the : i first time in a review of the menacing futures of this credit situation,, adj mitted that some American concerns already have recognized that in these stupendous sums of foreign obligations, there are many absolute losses. Part of these bad debts represent cancellation of goods in foreign ports. Millions haw been lost to American commercial interests through refusal of foreign buyers to accept shipments. American financial institutions, for reasons of business safety, are continuing to withdraw from commit- ’ ments in foreign trade.

The bill has passed the house. President Harding’s letter was a [ brief formal transmittal note saying | in part: “In the statement of reasons set forth by the undersecretary of stale I concur, and recommend the appropriation as being in the public inter- j est.” Premier Briand of France has as- j sured the United States government , that he will personally attend the dis- | armament conference.

GIVE IN TO HOOVER Politics Not to Enter Into Plans for Relief. Every Facility to Leave the Country Will Be Given Americans, Says Maxim Litvinoff. Riga, Letvln, Aug. 15. —The Russian I soviet government will combat any at- ! tempt to interject political questions I Into the ftusslan famine ndii-f, but I it is sufficiently practical to see that ' If the holding of Americans in prison : is an obstacle to the feeding of a i million Russian children, it is best that Herbert Hoover's stipulation in this respect be granted, declared Maxim Litvinoff, the soviet special envoy, here. M. Litvinoff made this explanation of the Russian negotiations with the American relief administration in talking with the American newspaper correspondents. Ue reviewed the famine situation to them and explained the situation from the Russian viewpoint. In addition to those held in prison In Russia, declared the soviet envoy, every facility to leave would lie given by the soviet government to any Americans In the country, even to the extent of advertising for them in the newspapers. Obviously the government could not undertake to locate them all. however, he added, as even the list the American government had prepared was probably inaccurate, and I in many cases the names bore no adI dresses. A telegram was sent to Moscow by him suggesting that all Americans whose addresses could easily be learned be rounded up immediately and given ati opportunity to leave ■ Russia as a guaranty of the good faith I of the soviet government in its desire i to permit ev>r\ American to quit Rus- | sia who t’esired to do so. {NEWS FROM | AND WEAK Newburyport.

Burden Will Not Be Shifted From Rich Under Proposed Changes in the Revenue Law. Washington. Aug. 1G. —An official statement explaining the administration tax rex ision program was issued at the White House. It declares that “the aim was to establish methods that would raise the needed revenue within a reasonable certainty, make collections sure and inexpensive and properly adjust the burden among all classes of the community." “It is felt that highly important ( progress has been made along these lines.” the statement says, adding: "There has been no effort to relieve the rich of their share of burdens, but I rather to insure that no class will be j left an avenue of escape from these, j A casual analysis of the proposals ' shows that what may be described as ’the rich man's taxes' will produce about SI,B(X).(MX).<MX>. while the balance will be distributed over the entire community, rich and poor. “The reduction to 32 per cent of the highest income and surtax brackets j is expected by the experts to produce i actually more revenue from these ’ sources than do the present much higher rates. The present rates prevent transactions which would involve application of the high rates, and thus keep taxes away from the government. They also drive money into the tax-free securities, to the distress of business, and they lead to fraud and evasions. "In increasing the tax on corporation earnings an exemption is made of those having earnings of $2,090 or less —the poor man's corporations. The number that would thus be exempted would exceed 300,000.” RUSS RELIEF IN DEADLOCK Brown and Litvinoff at Odds on Red Cross Claim to Control United States Stuff.

ERIN TO REJECT BRITISH PEACE De Valera Tells Army. “A Republic Exists in Ireland Now and Always Will.” TO OFFER ENGLAND NEW PLAN President Says, “Irish People Are Not Going to Be Fooled This Time”—lreland Not Offered Dominion Status. Dublin, Aug. 19. —The Irish negotiations were brought to the point of absolute- collapse on Wednesday when Eamonn De Valera speaking in the Sinn Fein parliament, announced that the English peace offer would be rejected. Dail Eireann will draw up counterproposals which will be forwarded to Premier Lloyd George. De Valera’s announcement that tfie English offer could not be accepted and that England never had offered Ireland dominion status caused a tremendous sensation. Next in importance to De Valeras history-making speech was a general order to the officers and men of the Irish republican army, saying: “A republic exists in Ireland now and always will.” Sinn Fein soldiers xvere told to be in readiness to make greater sacrifices than they had in the past if xvar is resumed. De Valera's announcement that the peace negotiations with England were off came like a thunderclap and the spectators sat silent and gasping lor a moment. Then handclapping and cheering rang through the chamber. Parliamentary officers tried vainly to restore order. Ar the beginning of his speech De Valera was plainly agitated. As he proceeded he grew calmer. At the latter end of his speech he indicated that Dail Eireann is going to make counterproposals at the secret session. "We cannot and will not accept the English peace terms,” De Valera said. “The Irish people are not going to be fooled this time. Ireland has not been offered Dominion status. ‘•The Almighty placed Ireland as the neighbor of Britain and the Irish desire to be neighborly, and if Britain were wise she would be friendly, we do not desire to close up England’s routes to the sea. “A powerful and selfish person wishing to encroach upon the rights, property and freedom of his neighbor — that typifies the fundamental problem at issue. "The Irish people. I know, will not flinch now because the British in Ireland have, sent for more arms” The following order xvas read to all officers and men of the ranks of the Irish republican army. “Communications between the Irish republican government and the British government have been made public and serve to emphasize toward the officers and men of the Irish republican army the paramount importance of being prepared for every contingency that may arise from a military viewpoint. "Now as always in safeguarding the rights and liberties of the Irish people 11 ey depend on the Irish republican army. “The republic exists noxv, and always will. It remains for us to do our best in its service, realizing that sacrifices we have already made may h? less than those we shall be called upon to make in the future. “The future lies with ns if we do our utmost.” HITS ARMY-NAVY REDUCTION Senator Lodge Says: "It Is Indefensb ble to Take All We Have Saved and Spend It on Roads.” Washington.
