MONTANA STANDARD, BUTTE, SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST II CRT -AROUSED By Mobilization of Citizen Army Against Crime Proposed by Vets. (Continued from Page 1) Plans for a mass meeting of outraged citizens to be advised by experts in crlino prevention next Monday went forward rapidly. Meanwhile, reconstructing the tpectacnlar running battle which carried two bandits, their driver and a host of pursuing policemen and citizens through a maze of traffic congested streets, the extraordinary heroism of taxicab drivers, a city fireman and plain citizens who Joined forces with the polite was being extolled. Editorials Jn New York newspapers called attention to this welding of private and public forces for the extermination of banditry ns proof of a new fighting spirit to which the entire population of the city has been aroused. The force of public protest this time seemed likely to be more effective than it was a month ago, after machine gunners stormed their way through scores oj children playing in a Bronx street, sowing death and wanton injury in their path.

On -Ulat occasion the police were absent. Police Lead Forces. But in yesterday's drama the police led the forces that swept after bandits who had murdered Patrolman Walter J. Webb ns he was guarding a payroll. Their pursuit in commandeered autoni 11 whose drivers braved the bullet- Gpitting outlaw car ahead of them, ended in the deaths of the criminals.

It was a victory fpr victory dearly bought, with the lives of two police officers, a three-year- old girl, the wounding of three other patrolmen and serious injuries to; eight civilians. A check of the young bandits' activities before their shot-riddled bodies were hauled from the taxicab at the end of the' chase indicated that before their, holdup of-the: Dyeing company's payroll had heavy supply of ammunition, perhaps in the taxicab in which they tried "to. fight their way to liberty.

However, Mr. Wiggln's views on this question arc well known.

Last January, his statement to the stock- Holders of the Chase National bank In New York city contained a. reference to his firm conviction that it would be good business to initiate a reduction ol all inter-governmental debts. Whether it Is liked or not, things seem headed In that one-year moratorium proposed by President Hoover, and accepted by all nations involved, may mark the beginning of the end of war debt-payments. Assuming that reparations should cease definitely, how much have Germany's creditors received to (late in actual cash, exclusive of deliveries in kind, cession of territory, loss of colonies, merchant marine, equipment and rolling slock? An analysis of Germany's reparations payments shows that a total of $4,179,300,000 has been paid out since the armistice on November 11, 1018, until July 1, 1031. This is at annual rate of $378,600,000, or veil over 53 per cent of aermnny's imports of foodstuffs for 1930.

Of the entire amount paid, France received $1,940,800,000, or somewhat excess of 40 per cent. Great Britain follows with $857,300,000. Belgium is third with $715,300,000, fol- owed by Italy with $293,800,000 and Jugoslavia with $100,200,000. United States holds seventh place, among the recipients of German reparations, with'a total of $165,700,000. Roumanla Is next with $27,200,000, followed by Japan with $18,600,000, Portugal with $10,500,000, and Greece with $10,100,000.

The bulk of payments wns made during period which elapsed be- ween November 11, 1918, and Sep- 1, 1024, when the Dawes plan went Into effect, making its debut with an international loan of $200,000,000, of which more than half was taken by American investors, rhe amount dutlng this period aggregated $2,321,600,000, of which France received $634,800,000, or less than 27 per cent. The United States received during this period a total of $58,600,000. During the five-year period when Dawe's plan was functioning total.of $1,773,300,000 vas puid, of-which France received by far the largest part. Her share imounted to $041,400,000, or more linn 53'per cent, while that of the United States totaled $11,600,000. During the Interval between September 1, 1929, and the limugura- of tho Young plan, and representing somewhat than eight and one-half months, a total of $245,400,000 was paid.

Of Oils amount, Franco received $163,000,000, or more thnn'55 per cent; while he United' States' ohnre totaled 818,300,000. 1030, July 1, 1031, Germnny's p'aymeiits aggregated $439,100,000, of which France's share vns $223,000,000, or about 53 per cent; while the United States received $17,100,000.

Men, women and children are watching the refuse borne upon the flood and dragging every scrap, even remotely edible, to their precarious refuges.
