Not many business limiunc r'MiiIrl nmii'iila lunir in uiinli n uhnu'inir Hill th;il ili iho showing ot England, according to her own ollicial report just published, lt is the answer to the mischief-makers who would interpret every happening as dye to a malacious Britain of overwhelming power that seeks to swallow tip a puny and foolish Uncle Sam. lt is now amply evident that England has enough troubles of her own. t What causes such a deficit? The coal strike, as much as any recent factor. The ultimate cause, of course, is the war. We Americans have got pretty well over the war now. To many of us it seems like ancient history; though we are still paying for it, and shall be for many years to conic; it does not pinch lis greatly. Put on England and on Europe generally the war has laid an almost crushing burden. To the immense loss of life and property that the war brought to both Allies and Central Powers is added, in Eng land's case, the debt she is repaying to tho United States. Al though in tho long run this repayment is likely to help Eng land by improving her credit, it is for the time being almost more than she can liear. The present deficit is likely to strengthen the movement to have the United States grant easier terms. 0. A. C. Report Off Corvallis Press OOUVALUS. ore., Jim. t.

A friend told this Kentucky youth that tho signal corpa used quite a passel of horses and mules and, back in 1!U4. he set Out to invesligate. Presently Huck Pri vate Williamson was In a signal ou! fit .oil Iledloe's Island. Assign ment to a field radio detachment sent him to the Teas bonier where there were horses aplenty, but where the road to two-striper promotion lay through learning what nil the stieeky noises being pushed Into and pulled out. of tjto air were about. lly 1!H7 Corporal Williamson had found out. He went to France with the First Division, stuck with it until, after the armistice, nnd then went to Paris to help shuffle radio and telegraph traffic at the American embassy.
