United States Grants 62
Yearm Which to Pay i
Off All Obligations
PLAN IS SAID GENEROUS
Italian Delegates Declare Treat
ment By Vnlted States Is
Most Fair; Rate of In
tercut Is Low
WASHINGTON, Nov.! 12. (By
Associated Press.) Funding of
Italy's War debt to the United
States has been accomplished.
An accord was reached today
on term? which'the American debt
commission held to be the maxi
mum burden that should be im
posed on the Italian people. It
was nrcepted by the Italian debt
commission as very ' generous
treatment of the funding problem,
I'Jtly was given 62 years, the same
as other nations which have com
pleted similar negotiations in
which to pay off an obligation cal
culated at $2,042,000,000. In
terest charges, beginning at the
end of five years, were fixed to
graduate from one eighth of one
per cent to a maximum of 2 per
cent in the last seven years.
The annual payments also were
arranged to increase gradually in
accordance with what the Amer
ican commission regarded as
Italy's maximum capacity to pay.
They start at i J5.000.000 a year
and advance to $80,000,000.
With the announcement of these
terms it was disclosed that in mak
ing another foreign debt funding
agreement ready for submission
to congress, the American commis
sion had tempered its. policy of
collection on the basis of capacity
to pay with consideration for the
future of the nation involved.
"This xommission has made an
expansive examination of Italy's
resources an deconomic and iiseai
position," the formal announce
ment asserted. "Italy ia poor in
natural resources. ..The visible
balance of trade is adverse. Food
to support ; her rapidly increasing
population; coal, oil, iron and cop
per have to be imported. Her
future depends upon the develop
ment of. her Industry and the
labor of her people.
"It Is felt that the settlement
lays as heavy a burden on the
Italian people as we are justified
In imposing, and represents
Italy's capacity to pay."
. The .Italian debt has been listed
In treasury records as $1,647,869.
197 in. principal. and $490,674,654
in accrued interest calculated at 5
per cent.
The first concession therefore,
was a reduction of the back in

LONDON, Nov. 12 (By Asso

64 other ranks aboard the sub

DEVONPORT, England. Nov. 12
-(By Associated Press 1 . Sixty
eight lives, officers and men, it is
feared have been lost by the dis
aster to the submarine M-l which
dived in. the waters of the English

the Atlantic fleet that it is feared
that the submarine M-l has been

A "-HOSS-OF A DIFFERENT
Man's Shop Refuses to Prosecute
Lads Who Sought Relic
in Store Window
The famous axe that origl Ily
belonged to Eugene high school,
but which was seized by Salem
high school after a football game
here four years ago, early Thurs
day morning resulted in the arrest
of three boys said. to be students
at Eugene high school.
The three, giving their names
as Del Ward, Al Schafer, and
Charles Anderson, were arrested
by Officers Edwards and Thoma-
son after they had sawn off the
lock to the window in the Man's
Shop where reposed, suspended
over the beheaded dummy dubbed
Eugene, the historic axe. Their
evident intention was to steal the
axe and haul it back to rest once
more in the town of Eugene. The
boys declared that they were not
alone in their endeavors to take
the axe into camp, but that sev
eral of the Eugene men were out
for the avowed purpose of taking
the axe.
The proprietors of the Man's
Shop refused to prosecute the
boys, and they were released late
Thursday morning after having
spent several hours in the city
bastile.
With the failuro of Eugene to
take the axe, the Salem boys are
fairly safe in considering the axe
safely in their hands at least until
the advent of the basketball sea
son. When the occasion arises
there are plenty at the local high
school who are willing to defend
the axe, and it will have to be
with considerable strategy that
Eugene will ever gain reposses
sion. A sarcophagus of Eugene
was also in the window, but re
mained safe in spite of the large
number of Eugene men in the city
for the big gams Armistice Day.

PLAINSBORO, N. J., Nov. 12.
(By Associated Press). Speeding
through a denfe fog the Pennsyl
vania railroad's mercantile express
from St. Louis early today crashed
into the rear Bleeping car of an
express train from Washington,
killing at least ten persons and
injuring 40, some of whom are
not expected to survive. Both
trains were bound for New York.
The exact number of dead will
be uncertain until the wreckage is
cleared, which may not be until
tomorrow morning. All night
wrecking crewB worked slowly in
a pouring rain under the glare of
flickering lights, with curious
crowds watching the operations.
State troopers and railroad police
guarded the tangled wreckage.
Many of the bodies were so
mtuilated that identification was
difficult.
At the point where the accident
occurred the roadbed begins a
stretch of nearly ten miles where
railroad men said it had been the
custom of trains running behind
schedule to make up some of their
lime. This was said to have been
the case with the St. Louis train
today. The Washington train,
composed of seven day coaches
and three Pullmans, was traveling
at about 10 miles an hour. One
report was that engine trouble
had developed necessitating slow
procedure. Another report was
that the train was several minutes
Ahead of schedule, that it had
come to a stop and that the flag
man had gone ahead to learn if
the St. Louis t raid hadrassed the

There were no indications to the
contrary. The flagman had just
boarded the Washington train and
it again got under stea .i when the
St. Louis train, speeding at a rate
said to have been 55 miles an
