Thus the record show that the exchange was made. Ex-mayor Nagel "ays that he remembers, the transac- ion but he could not remember the orange bonds, that he believed he had received vouchers. Anyhow the orange bonds were void as this series of records shows. Furthermore there are nany bits of evidence that the man collcoted them knew it.

Among these were the proposed In- emational bank of settlement; the cparations problem as it affects the uccessors to the Austro-Hurtgarlan 'inpire, and the final accounting be- ween the former enemies for private sequestered and sold.

There was satistaction iver achievement of the approval of he Young plan, created by the com- nlttee of national financial experts Its four months Paris session. The Young plan fixed the German war debt at a certain figure, beyond vhlch the Germans could count on not having to pay, and on which the ormer allies could count in arranging jayments of their own huge war debts. It was believed this stabilizing would eliminate most of the post war bickering. It was, In the words of Aristlde Briand, French Foreign Minister and Premier, a "final liquidation of the World War." The approval'was not gained with- jut a battle of national Interests, in which Philil Snowden, British Chancellor of the Exchequer and Henri 3heron, French Finance Minister, eemed the principal combatants.

Each Registers Gain Agreement brought certain definite jalns to each. Mr. Snowden goes back a London with arrangements for reduced payments in kind from with 80 per cent-of the reparations annuities he souKft from Germany guaranteed hltri. The German delegation, headed by Gustax. will take to Jerllh an allied agreement to evacute lie last of the Rhincland occupied areas by June 30 next year, with the creditor nations bearing a proportionate share of the occupation cosfe after Sept.

Poincare Has Slight Relapse Bad Language on Highway Brings Fines for Three Object of Invective Was Assistant Supervisor Yancey Three youths who cut loose with a string of bad language as they passed the car of A.

Yancey on the Brighton road Thursday evening during the heavy movement of Alton- bound traffic from the Betsy Ann picnic at Brighton likely did not know that the object of their invective was a county official. But if not, they learned to their regret in police court today, that Yancey is chairman of the road and bridge committee of the Madison County Board of Supervisors and that he takes a keen interest in proper observance of the rules of the road. Yancey took the number ot the car the boys were riding In, and today they were arrested on state warrants charging peace disturbance. On entering pleas of guilty after Assistant States Attorney Streeper appeared to prosecute, the fines were $5 and costs each, a total of $18.50 each. The young men gave their names as Alfred Lennington, Dean Sigler and Chester Dorrin.

Assistant Supervisor Yancey said that the incident he complained of occurred when he was on the right side of the road and that the boys had no reason for the bad language they hurled at him. He thinks they may have mistaken him for some other driver. He attempted to follow the car of the youths, but such was the dust that he lost sight of It.

After they had taken the money In the cash register, about $14, they put Dakota into the air compression room, ordering him to stay there until they drove away. About 10 minutes later, at approximately 10:10, two men walked into another station a block up on Buchanan.

They drew their guns on Nathan Canis, the attendant, and after taking the contents of the cash register, about $75, ordered him to get into his car, which was parked near the station. They drove him almost to Livingston, where they tied his hands and sagged him. There they put him out on the road and drove away. i Canls walked into Livingston, where I his hands were untied and secured a ride home. CHICAGO, Aug.
