Will Reduce French Debt
New York, Nov. 23—J. P. Morgan
anil associates will launch the new
$100,000,000 loan to the French re
public here tomorrow. The loan will
be offered in a single issue of 25
years, 7 per cent gold bonds at 94.
The effect of the loan is to absorb
the recent series of short term cred
its and convert the funding into a
25-year operation.
J. P. Morgan & Co. today issued
the following statement:
“J. P. Morgan & Co. announce that
they, In association with the First
National bank of New York. National
City company and Messrs. Brown
Brothers & Co., are heading a syndi
cate to offer on Monday $100,000,000
government of the French' republic
25-year 7 per cent sinking fund gold
bonds, at 94 and accrued interest, to
yield api roximately 7.53 per cent
without giving consideration to the
operation of the sinking fund, which
amounts to $4,200,000 per annum,
i payable In equal monthly installments
beginning January 1, 1925, and being
sufficient to retire annually one twen
ty-fifth of the entire issue at 105
Tier cent."
Income Growing.
Finance Minister elemental of
France announced in a communica
tion received here:
“The proceeds of the loan are to he
applied to the reduction of the gov
ernment’s indebtedness to the Bank
of France, which will hold and use
the proceeds as it may deem wise for
the protection and stabilization of
the franc.”
“The budget position," the minister,
observed, “has been materially aided
by the return to productivity of the
devastated regions of France, the fis
cal receipts from which have in
creased steadily from 964,000,01)0
francs in the year 1919, to 2,372,000,
000 francs for the first six tnonths
of 1924."
Fays V. S- 20 Million Annually.
M. elemental placed the French
foreign debt, excluding the Interallied
debt, at $697,500,000 on November 1,
last, with an annual service charge
1 of $46,160,000. When peace was
signed, June 30, 1919, this principal
was $1,069,400,000, with service
charges of $69,000,00(1 per annum, lie
said the government was paying
$20,367,000 annually to the United
States government, representing In
terest on the postwar purchase of
supplies left liehlnd by the American
expeditionary forces. Foreign trade
had shown a favorable turn, said the
minister, the surplus of exports in the
first 10 months of the current year
totalling approximately $73,000,000
at the current rate of exchange. The
greater export activity he attributed
to the return to productivity in the
" , war areas. Exclusive of Alsace-Lor
raine, the coal output was up to 9G
per cent of the 1913 monthly average,
and Iron ore had more than doubled
since the peace.
The average ratio of operating ex
penses to gross revenues of the six
great railway systems, which in 1920
’ was 130 per cent, had been steadily
reduced to 91 per cent In 1923 and
to an estimated ratio of 78 per cent

Plan Outlined
to Avoid Future
Famines in Coal
Engineering Council Suggests
Purchase on Advance Con
tract and Uniform Month
ly Shipments System.
New York, Nov. 23.—A report of
the coal storage committee of the
American engineering council, mudc
public today by James Hartness,
president of the organization, out
lines a series of community plans by
which the principal cities of the
country may, through a system of
uniform monthly shipments, avoid
coal famines. Hartness said the
survey on which the report is based
has revealed that storage Is the
remedy for the nation's coal troubles.
The committee recommends, accor
ding to the report, that all consum
ers purchase their coal on an annual
contract for yearly requirements,
with a provision that the coal be
delivered monthly in equal allot
ments. Consumers are urged to pro
vide storage facilities to meet the
terms of such a contract.
Prices Kedured.
The recommendations are based on
the finding that the purchase of coal
on a monthly delivery basis will en
able coal mines to inaugurate and
maintain a regular production
schedule and make it possible for
carriers to plan definitely both
schedules and equipment for a uni
form movement of coal.
"A reduction of the price of coal
will be made possible." the report
states, “by more regular schedules
of production and transportation and
by elimination of peak demands in
the winter months, when the costs
of both production and transporta
tion are the highest.
“The railroads have more to gain
by storing coal than any other class
of consumers," the report continues.
“They should store their own coal on
such a scale and at such times as to
obviate the movement of company,
or nonreventie producing coal during
the period when there is a heavy de
mand for the transportation of rev
enue-producftl# freight."
Should Appeal to All.
In the foreword of the report, John
Hays Hammond, chairman of the
United States coal commission, suys
"this report of an engineering survey
of the possibilities of improving the
method of purchase, delivery and
storage of coal should appeal to pro
ducers, carriers ami consumers as tlie
key to the solution of many of their
troubles. The president's coal com
mission, learning of the purpose of
the American engineering council to
make such a study, assigned to It the
task of conducting an extended engi
neering survey of the storage of coal.
“The commission and other govern
ment departments have collaborated
with the American engineering coun
cil extensively, the survey has been
conducted l>y over 400 engineers in
leading industrial centers, and the re
port has been formulated hy a com
mittee of prominent engineers—rec
ognized authoritis in each branch of
the subject covered.”

Britain s Egyptian Ultimatum Like
Austria’s “Impossible Demands”
---;
There is a striking parallel between the note of the British govern
ment to the premier of Egypt and the note sent 1 y Austro-1 lungary to
Serbia on .fitly 23, 1314—the note that resulted in the lining up of the great
powers in Europe and finally brought on the world war. The note to Serbia
was referred to as an "impossible demand.” and the civilized world was
shocked at Its abruptness arid the demands it made for internal changes in
'he Serbian government administration.
The British note to Egypt is even more abrupt than the Austrian
note to Serbia. It demands changes in Egyptian governmental administra
tion more drastic than that demanded of Serbia, in addition, It demands a
huge indemnity.
The occasion of the Austrian note was the assassination of the
Austrian grand duke, Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austro-Hungarvh and
his wife, at ^Serajevo. The killing *u*d Citrr^ ,e lhot result of pr'.pognnda
carried on by Serbians against Austria.
The occasion of the British note was the assassination of .Sir Lee
Stack, governor general of the Soudan and sirdar of the Egyptian army.
I his killing, too, had come ns the result of Egyptian propaganda against
Britain.

London. Nov. 23.—Events moved
swiftly in Cairo today and the
Egyptian government has to a large
extent complied with Great Britain's
virtual ultimatum, embodying a series
of stern demands in the way of rep
aration for the assassination of Jlaj.
Gen. Sir Lee Stack, sirdar of the
Egyptian army. Premier Zagloul ex
plained in a secret session of parlia
ment last night the lines of his pro
posed reply, and, having obtained a
vote of confidence, he today delivered
a note to Viscount Allenby, the
British high commissioner, agreeing
to apologize, punish the criminals and
pay the required indemnity of 500,000
pound sterling.
The premier's note was couched in
polite terms, but it refused to shoul
der responsibility for the assassina
tion, and regarding the other British
demands, argued that they either ran
counter to the Egyptian constitution
or were matters to be dealt with by
diplomatic methods. He also re
marked that the most liberal policy
compatible with the principle of in
dependence had been adopted toward
foreigners and that no observations
had been received from other foreign
powers.
Deputies Vote Confidence.
Zagloul had previously read this re
ply to the deputies and had obtained
another vote of confidence.
ViSfcount Allenby. to whom it is be
lieved the British government is leav
ing the entire conduct of the nego
tiations, promptly replied to the
Egyptian premier that the indemnity
must be paid by noon tomorrow; that,
since Egypt refused to comply with
the demands relating to Sudan, the
BgHish authorities would themselves
see that they were carried out, and
that he would later Indicate what

agrees to Great Britain's demand for
an apology, punishment of the assas
sins, and an indemnity of 600,000
pounds. It also promises to prevent
any disturbance of the peace by dem
onstrations.
Tlie reply says the British demand
regarding the Sudan breaks ih?
status quo and is contrary to the
constitution under which K ng Fuad
is commander In-chief of the Egyptian
army. It considers the demand re
garding, the Gezira irrigation project
premature.
The communication further says
the fVosition of foreign offic als is

and cannot be modified without the
consent of parliament.

Supreme Task of Man
Told by EOWEIX. THOMAS.
(Copyright, 1924.)
In the history of navigation there
have been but two feats which will
stand side by side for all time. The
first was the circumnavigation of the
globe by sea; the second the circum
navigation of the world by air. There
may have been other expeditions com
parable to these in pre-historic timee.
But if so, it was before the dawn of
recorded history, and we know not of
them.
Four hundred years ago a Portu^
guese navigator in the service of x
Charles V of SpaJn, sailed forth to
explore the seven seas. One vessel
and 31 survivors returned.
Ferdinand Magellan sleeps under a
rude cross on an Island in the South
seas, but his fame as tho first circum
navigator brought undying glory to
himself and fellow mariners and to
both Portugal and Spain.
We of the present day have lived
to ste Magellan's feat paralleled if
not surpassed. If the great Portu
guese navigator deserved Imperish
able fame, so also do American world
fliers.
Magellan set forth in ships very
little different fiom those which had
been used by navigators for thou
sands of years. He sailed seas that
nad nearly all been partially explored
before him.
But Commander Powell Smith and
his fellow Magellans of the air set
forth on their world cruise in craft
entirely unknown to men a genera
tion ago, and the aerial ways they ex
plored are far less known than were
the seven seas in the time of Ma
gellan.
God's ( lwiseti Sons.
Whenever the muse of history takes
up her pen to chronicle the deeds of
|men, in the clear blue above them all
stfeWrites the names of those ex
plorers and navigators who venture
forth into the unknown to pioneer
the way for the rest of mankind. But
these restl-ss ones. God’s c-hosen sons,
who go forth to win or die, have still
another and even greater claim to
immortality, for they are the ones
who keep aflame the spirit of romance
and adventure—that intangible, inde
finable something which saves man
from degenerating into a mere clod.
In the dim days before the dawn
of history there were navigators and
explorers who ventured forth from
central Asia and from the valleys of
the 4Tigris, the Euphrates and the
Nile, to prepare the way for those
waves of Hamitic, Semitic and early
Aryan peoples, and for the Scythians,
Farthians. White Huns. Mongols,
Tartars and others who overran the
ancient world. It was their tales
brought back from far countries that
Inspired all the conquerors from
Ghengiz Khan. Tamerlane and Attlla
on ckiwn to Cortez. Clive and our own
American colonists.
Explorers Make Nations.
Every nation that has played an
important part in history' has had its
great navigators and explorers, For
Instance, we recall that Phoenecfan
captains of 4.000 years ago piloted
their galleys across the North Atlan
tic to the then unknown British isles,
and even crossed the Indian ocean to
the tin mines of Malay.
We remeinl'er how the Ethiopian
navigator in the service of the Pba
roiih.-N offered up their prayers to Isis
and Osiris and then sailed round the
continent of Africa; of how the Na
