tangle of interallied debts
was Been by high government offi
cials here today in the determina
tion of Helium to take Independ
ent steps la negotiating a refund
ing settlement with the United
States.
In official quarters, the Informa
tion conveyed from the Belgian
foreign office in last night's dis
patch was accepted as being high
ly significant since Bel plum must
be classed as one of the major
debtors to whom the United States
extended financial aid.
The Belgian statement of The
Associated Press created a feeling
of optimism at the treasury.
There is no doubt in the minds
of officials here that the present
Belgian ministry recognizes the
i benefits derived by those powers
'which have funded their obliga
tions to America and are desirous
I of accomplishing the same ar
rangement for their own nation.
Announcement of Belgium's 1l
tentions has come in the midst of
conversations with the Minister of
Esthonia and Secretary Mellon on
means of arranging a funding
settlement for Esthonia's debt of
approximately 918.000.0UO. The de
termination of Belgium Is Injected
likewise while discussion is going
on in Paris on the French debt. The
situation must be accepted. It was
said, as highly significant, since
should any one of the three ma
ture their plans the way would be
quickly opened for frank talks on
terms with other debtors.
Officials reiterated that the con
versations between Ambassador
Philipps and the Belginn foreign
office were a part of the program
of this government to hasten ac
tion on the part of its European
debtors. It was declared that Mr.
Phillips talked with the Belgian
officials regarding their intentions
on the whole obligation to the
United States and did not confine
his conversation to the loans ex

B- F. Yoakum Submits Plan
WASHINGTON, May 19. At a
conference with President Cool
idge today B. F. Yoakum, retired
capitalist, outlined a war debts
settlement plan under which all
debtors nations to the United
States would enter into a common
agreement for an international
funding scheme resting on a long
term basis.
He proposed that an arrange
ment be effected giving debtors
one hundred years in which to re
pay the United States and each
other for loans at two and one
half percent interest per annum
beginning two years after date of
obligation.
The plan submitted by Mr. Yoa
kum was transmitted by President
Coolldge to the state department.
The president had no opportunity

Note To Germany Deferred
PARIS, May 19. British and
French differences regarding the
phrasing of the disarmament note
jto Germany are proving mord dif
ficult to adjust than had been ex
pected, therefore the council of
I ambassadors, which has been post
, poning its meetings repeatedly on
' this account, again adjourned the
session scheduled for tomorrow
without fixing another date for
meeting.
It is hoped .however, than an
AnglS-French accord will be reach
ed soon regarding the disarma
ment note and that the council of
ambassadors can dispatch it to
Berlin without much more delay.
Senator Watson said, In impres

a member of the committee which
is investigating the internal reve
nue bureau.
While declaring everybody knew
that prohibition is not being fully
enforced now-and that it If being
deliberately violated by whole
sale. Senator Watson said, inef
ficiency is being corrected and
enforcement Ftrengthened.
Chairman Couzens sharply cri
ticized the method of enforce
ment, declaring many . letters
charging graft in enforcement
had been received, hut that the
committee had confined Its work
to investigation of the records of
the Internal revenue bureau. - Ho
declared that under a senate re
solution it would be- impracticable
for the committee to continue in

unit at this time, but the question
wns left open.

DRY LAW WILL BE
ENFORCED UNTIL
COUNTRY SAYS NO
(Associated Ptot L-ued Wire.)
WASHINGTON. May 19. The
administration from President
Coolidge down is determined to
enforce prohibition to the limit,
Senator Watson, republican, of
Indiana, has informed the Cou
zens committee,' and then, he
said, if the people do not want
to stand for it. it is for them to
say so. Tremendous efforts are
to be made, the Indiana senator
said, to make the law absolutely
effective.
"If after the law is being en
forced to the limit," he asserted,
"the people do not, want to stand
for it. It is for the people to say
so, and it can he modified."

DRAIN FLOWER SHOW
DECIDED SUCCESS
The first of a series of flower
shows, under the patronage of the,
(irange, was held in Drain on May
9. The response was enough to
warm the heart of any committee, i
The appreciation of the scores of j
people who came during the after-1
noon indicates greater success for
the following shows. The commit-;
tee feel Itself amply repaid for the'
effort it put forth to make the show
the pleasant event It was. I
The number of entries was very
gratifying in spite of the fact that
the hot weather did much damage
I to the flowers. The plan of allow
ing each one to select her own re
ceptacle and arrange the flowers
was successful. This plan permits
the individuality of the owner to be
i displayed more. Instead of the tnte

iplay. Also It makes for a more de
lightful showing, for after the back

"Perfect flowers, artistically dis
played." The judges were Mrs. Henry Hed
rick, Mrs. M. Sawyers, Mrs. Anna
Drain. They awarded 2 ribbons. To
Mrs. Joe Kruse went the first
award on a display of pink Darwin
tulips. They certainly deserved
number one. Mrs. Billy Moore's
deep, rich red Agtda carried of hon
ors among the peonies. She used
nine stems in a basket. Kach flow
er measured around eight inches In
diameter. Mrs. Emma Wagoner dis
played a Jardfnier of eight prim
rose yellow Iris (Flnvescenn) Four
stems won her a ribbon. Mrs. M.
Sawyers had no competition in the
rose section when she displayed 3
handsome specimens of the Mad
ame Chas. Wood variety. They
stood out In blazing relief against
a back-ground of dogwood anil
ferns. Mrs. H. Warner received a
ribbon on a bowl of pansles. From
Mrs. Joe Hum's old fashioned gar
den came a gay bunch of flossy
yellow double buttercups. They
were in an old blue Jug arranged
with their own foliage. Mrs. tier
trude Hedrick won recogntlon in 2
classes. One rlbbo was pinned on
a vase of seven tall, slender Per
sian Daisies (pyrethrum) In a warm
rose shade. The other she won on
double red anemone. Mrs. Hed

REV. KNOTTS TELLS
OF MISSIONARY WORK
At 2:30 Thursday, the rreshy
terian Missionary Society held an
enjoyable meeting lu the church
parlors.
The delegates to 'he Presbyter
ial of Southern Oregon, which met
in Ashland, made some Interesting
reports. The lresident, Mrs.
MuCullaKh, stated the next year, in
March some time, Hoseburg will
have the honor of entertaining this
society. This year's apportion
ment for this Society Is I2U49.99.
Koseburg's share In this apportion
ment Is J355.UU At the Presbyter
ial, it was reported that the Mis
sionary Societies ot Grants Pass,
and ot Sutherlin had mot their ap
portionments, and that Ashland
and Klamath Falls hud more than
met theirs. Medford and Koseburg
fell below. This Society is work
ing hard to meet Its apportionment
for this' year. Each Society is
working hard to meet its appor
tionment for this year. Kach Soc
iety reported that only 25 per cent
of the women in the church are
active members in the Missionary
Society.
Mrs. I. N. Park gave an Inter
esting review of the last day at the
Presbyterlal. She said the meet
ing opened with the subject, "At
taining through faith." Mrs. Black
burn and Mrs. Kdgar gave short
talks, nnd Kev. J. Christie Wilson
brought greetings from Persia;
Miss Helen Norris spoke on "Pres
entation of Literature" and Miss
Petrie on "Comprehensive Pro
gram." The subject for the afternoon
was Latin America. Rev. Joseph
Knotts spoke on the subject, "The
Work, as 1 saw It." liev. Knotts
opened by saying that he went on
a hurried call to Peru, to relieve
1 a teacher who was ill. He stayed
tor five years, teaching all the
time. At that time Kcuador, Peru
and Bolivia had only Methodists
nnd a very few other as misslonar
i les. The Church of Kngland had
a few churches; but no missionary
work.
In Calleo, Peru, where Itev.
Knotts was stationed, the Luther
ans had started a church, but Kuv.
Knotts nrenntzed a union Sunilny
School. Services were In English,
except fur one class of Germans,
who used their own language. All
the other pupils knew Spanish and
German, as well as Kngiish. In
the Public Schools, the boys and
girls were segregated. The only
school above the Nth grade for
girls was a Normal School, where
music and embroidery only were
taught Mrs. Schofleld was teach
ing at Lima, Peru, at that time.
The authorities made the foreign
teachers a great deal of trouble,
in trying to revoke their certifi
cates for teaching; but did not
succeed. A traveling man selling
Illbles was Imprisoned for 9
months; but he converted most of
the prisoners and prison keepers
during that time; so he was gladly
released. The churches were not
allowed to advertise a public meet
ing, if the services were held in
Spanish. The edifices, on the
outsidtt, resembled an ordinary
store building; but on the inside
had the architectural styles ot a
church. This wsb to avoid persecu-1
tion from the police. The organ
nnd chair were placed between the
two doors at the main entrance, in
order to quickly stop any distur
bances that might occur. One dif
ficulty the workers met, was the
custom of polygamy which was
common among the people. Drunk
enness, .also, was a great obstacle;
for It was common, even some
children going to school drunk.
Krom Calleo, Itev. Knotts was
sent to the Interior, 10,000 feet
above sea level, and 80 miles from
large mines. Itev. Knotts was
promptly engaged by the High
School (Public) to teach English
for one hour each day, five davs a
week for 50.00 gold or 100.00
Peruvian money a month. After 9
months Itev. Knotts opened a mis
sion school and in order to secure
the patronage ot the children ot
Influential families, made the tui-
tion three times that of any other
I school ot the country. It proved
to be the most aristocratic school
In the land. itev. Knotts had to
I hunt to locate Protestants, which
he did by getting the names of
I people buying Ulbles from nn
Indian. Then Iter. Knotts organ
ized a Sunday School in the home
! ot a tailor- The services of a na
tive worker, who came IfiO miles.
was then secured. A church of 40
was then organised. The police
tried to close this church; but
after Kev. Knotts appealed to the
Governor, and then the Minister of
the Government, and finally to the
American Representative, for pro
tection, the church was left un
molested. Every woman should be
a missionary; for all her rights
and privileges are the outgrowth
of Christianity. Now there is re
ligious liberty In Peru. Peru was
the last country to grant religious
liberty, Itev. Knotts said la clos
ing. Mrs. W. M. Campbell spoke In
terestingly of the work of Dr.
Webster E. Browning, Education
al Secretary of Latin America.
Twenty-two countries and fifty de
nominations are represented In
this Society to study education and
religious conditions of life In Lat
in America. , The work ot the
Society is co-operation in these
countries, by all Interested In re
ligious and educational matters.
Dr. Browning was President ot a
school In Chile for a term of
twenty years. He Is a great writ
er and speaker, knows all the lan
guages of Latin America and
meets the leaders In these coun
tries socially as well as In a busi
ness way. The young people have
been asked to give $4950.00 a year
for the support of Dr. Browning.
Mrs. B. u Eddy read the 4th chap
ter of Ephestans. Mrs. Young of
fered a prayer, and the lord's
Prayer was said In unison.
The June meeting will be held
at the home of Mrs. Fred Flser,
following a basket dinner. The
ladles of the Suthnrlln Missionary
Society will be Invited to attend.
