"We have no wish to tuin Germany,” he said, "but we are not willing that, sheltered today be hind her apparent poverty, sho may Jeer at our real poverty in u few years' time.” He added that Franco welcomed the Idea of Germany's raising -loans Internal or external, "but it is desir able for Germany to pay morsels of her capital instead of crumbs or an nuities." M. Poincare recalled that war ex penses were left to the belligerents, France's amounting to 145,000,009,000 Irancs. "But." lie added, "repara tions were a privileged debt and therefore would bo inadmissible if France were summoned to pay lie* debts to England before receiving payment for the damages she has suffered."

Twelve days out it hit a head wind and was driven off its course. Later it ran into a storm and for almost three weeks fought wind. rain, snow and waves until the rudder snapped. That was 10 days ago. Tho ship, hanging close to the wind and ship ping floods with every lurch, lunged heavily and swung around. When it steadied, the mizzenmast, ns wall as the rudder, was gone. Then Capt, Sanchez began Ills real tiattlo for life. After four days a liner passed, but the high waves hid the Kerlita's signals. Night after night, with a lookout lashed to a tottering perch in the foremast and the captain tied se curely to a wheel that did not an swer, tlie schooner tumbled about in the seas.
