Waihington, July 22 Uncle Sim
ii getting ready to tend out 'Tleaie
remit" notlrei to the allied powen
who owe him approximately $12,
000,000,000.
He ha heen a patient creditor
and he will continue to be patient
hut he would like to have ome
promifory notei, definitely dated, in
place of the vague I. O. U he now
; hold.
Exprened in diplomatic language,
, the administration, through the State
department, to preparing to "make
.. representation! to the allied govern
ment," and ask them rather pointed
ly when they are going to begin pay
ing op. ,
Efforts to refund the allied in
debtedness and get America" credi
tor started paying on the install
ment plan, at leat o far as interest
is concerned, have been disappoint'
ing. it is frankly admitted in ad
ministration circles. The disappoint
ment is especially keen in congress,
where sttaermen were counting on
having a larye installment of the
British debt paid up and ready to
meet the cost of the soldier tonus
this month.
Prospects Uncertain.
' The prospect is extremely unccr
tain. It ip no longer a secret that
the various nations are jockeying
with each other for advantageous po
sitions in the refunding negotiations
Each "is holding back and' looking to
the other to make a settlement with
the American government first, hop
ing that there they may derive cer
tain advantages from precedent. All
are keening; a close watch on the
, moit "favored nation" clause in their
treaties, with the United States.
That is the situation that the for
.,eign debt rcfinding commission
made up of Secretary of State
Hughes, Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon, Secretary of Commerce
Hoover, Senator Smoot, Utah, and
Representative Burton. Ohio, fvids
, itself in several1 months after its cre
ation. No Concrete Results.
There have been but few meetings
of the. commission and so far there
have been no concrete results. There
have been informal conferences with
representatives of Great Britain and
France, but they have bceji unavai
ling, so far as conversion of the ob
ligations of those governments,
running for fixed periods of time and
bearing specified rate of interest, are
concerned. "
It, is understood here that Great
Britain, which has 1 amiounced its
intention to pay its obligations to
the United States, looks to France
to settle the obligations to England,
and France in turn looks to Germany
to make good on reparations before
it pays Great Britain. Furthermore
England expects to settle on as
good terms as any of the creditors
of the United States.
Looking for Good Times.
When the ; foreip.n debt funding
commission was created, it was be
lieved that the British debt would
be funded under the terms laid
down by the American congress
when it created the commission. Jn
other words, that the obligations
would mature within 25 years and
would, bear interest at the rate of
4 1-2 per cent. There were many
members of congress who believed
that Great Britain was the only na
tion that could comply with these
terms, r.'id that after the British debt
had been funded, recommendations
would be made to congress that the
'legislation be so changed as to per
mit more liberal treatment with
reference to the other creditors.
A'-ir.r-Hlv Enrrlmid, which has a
v.-orld-wide" reputation of more than
-'00 years ot having paid all national
obligations, cud of having restored
its currency to a gold basis after the
Napoleonic wars, proposes to settle
Oldest Girl Praised for Mothering
Brood of Five Orphaned Children
By ELLIS H. MARTYN.
San Francisco, July 22. Mary is
famed in song as being a "grand old
name" and a great "pal," but Mary
Josephine Camicia.has proved Mary
to be a "grand little mother."
Twelve-year-old retcr Camacia told
Judge Thomas F. Graham all about it
in superior court the other day when
Mary came forward as the youngest
guardian in the history of San Fran
cisco courts to give an accounting of
her vear s stewardship of a little
brood of five Camicias.
"I'll tell the world Mary's a good
mother," Peter told the judge. "She's
best after my regular mother.
And from little Alma, 6, to John,
17, came emphatic corroboration.
Mary Camacia s father died in 1914:
her rmSthcr four years later, leaving
an investment which assured an in
come of $51 a month. Mary volun
teered to take charge of the family.
The court, a bit doubtful because of
her own youth, decided to give her a
trial since no older person was in
terested. Found True "Mother."
That Mary has not overrated her
"mothering" ability was demonstrated
to the satisfaction of all who heard
the latest report. The four boys,
ranging in ages from 17 to 9, are at
work heading for grown up entry
into the vocation she has chosen for
them.
She hopes eventually to graduate a
carpenter, a machinist, a lawyer and
a jeweler trom tier school ot hard
work. The midget of the family.
Alma, 6, will decide before long
whether she will become a teacher or
a nurse. Just now she is giving her
most serious efforts to the family
ironing.
"It Isn't So Hard."
"It isn't so hard when all are will
ing to help about the house," ex
plained "Little Mother" Mary. "We
live on a system and have a schedule
on terms as advantageous as those
given other nations.
Negotiations Delayed.
Soon after the foreign debt com
mission had been created, when it
was proposed that the representa-
lves of the nations indebted to the
United States send commissions here
to begin the negotiations, it was re
ported that that would be impossible
just then, because the financial ex
perts of the European nations were
it the Genoa economic conference. A
1'ttle later it was reported they were
at The Hague.
It is now seriously doubted
whether anything will be done for
months to come. Representative
Burton intends to sail for Europe
August 12, for the purpose of attend
ing the interparliamentary union
meeting at Vienna. While abroad he
will investigate the debt situation oti
the continent. He will not be an of
ficial representative of the commis
sion, but it i9 believed the informa
tion he will bring back will be of
service to the commission in its
work.

Cuban Loan Bearing
7 1 -2 Per Cent Proposed
Havana, Cuba., July 22. Confer
ences -on plans for an interior bond
issue to liquidate overdue current ob
ligations of . the government ; were
continued yesterday between Presi
dent Zayas and a subcommittee of
the special joint congressional com
mittee named to outline the neces
sary legislation.
The plan favored by the committee,
as against an exterior loan to which
congress has expressed determined
opposition, provides for the issuance
of $50,000,000 in bonds at 7!A per
cent to be retired within eight years
in four-month installments. Special
taxes to meet this obligation, it is
said, include an increase in tariff
duties.
which gives every one of us a share
in the work of the household. He
who washes the dishes doesn't have
to wipe them, and the brother who
cuts the wood doesn't hang out the
clothes.
"Life is easier now that the boys
are making something each week.
Their combined efforts bring nearly
$50 a week to the family purse. When
emergencies require more I get piece
work from an upholstery shop."
Mary declared that she is not think
ing of marriage, though she has had
several proposals. She does not mean
to complete filling her "hope chest"
until her mother's orphans no linger
need her.
