Around about statements appearing in the French Press and made in the Paris chamber to the effect that the United States never paid its revolutionary war debts to France, officials have dug back in the dusty files of the state department and found figures which completely refute these French charges. It was learned today. Members of the American Debt funding commission have been supplied with the data. The government records disclose that four loans were secured from France between 1777 and 1783 totalling 35,000,000 lire (about $8,500,000) and that those were all repaid by 1815 with the exception of partial interest on small loan remitted by France. The records disclose that there was sometimes some delay in meeting the obligations—but they were paid. French newspapers and some officials have been advancing the alleged non-payment of America's revolutionary debts to France as a reason why the United States should remit or cancel all or part of France's $4,000,000,000 war debt to the United States.

In all of the others Walker played superior fighting ability could be no more than a pop decision, for the Jersey laws mit no other. Walker could have added another title only by knockout. Walker gained the popular cision by carrying the fight to adversary from the opening to final gong. The weights were Walker, 149 3-4; McTigue, 149 3-4; McTigue attempted to fight defensive battle. His work was the inferior sort. Time and when Walker wanted to carry it fast pace he was stopped by Tigue's holding on.

Our flight fans will have to go out of the county. SARGUM PROUTINGS Happy New Year, folks. You remember I said that California would defeat Penn. Well she did. I also said that Stanford would hold the Irish event. The Stanford boys and Lady Luck threw me down. Stanford was the more powerful of the two and out powered the Irish but the Lads of Notre Dame proved themselves the most nimble brained and took advantage of every break. Stanford was like the baseball team whose pitcher only allowed two hits while his teammates made 14 hits yet lost 3 to 0. While Notre Dame received every break of the game she in a great part made those breaks by always being on the alert. Stanford played great ball, ball that would win most games, but they were not able to cope with Notre Dame's speed after Lady Luck had turned her back. Up north. Old Andy Smith has accomplished the impossible, the moulding of a green eleven into an unbeatable machine in a short season. Andys feat should mark him as one of the greatest coaches of all time. It is only a conjecture that one can draw to it the outcome of a meeting of Notre Dame and California but we'll bet a cooky that the score would not favor the Eastern team. There has been a lot of gush spilled about the effect of the climate on the invading teams. There is not much to all the talk, it is a good alibi after defeat. It takes several days for the change to have any great effect and the teams are not here long enough to feel that effect. Anyway, next season will see some coast teams invading the east and we shall see the effect of the Eastern climate on our boys. Stanford will in all probability go east to return Notre Dame's compliment. If things are not patched up in the coast conference U.S.C. will journey over the big mountains for some of her competition. This climatic bug-a-boo will be thoroughly proven in the next couple or years. Two-thirds of the Stanford team were So. Calif., boys so we had a twofold interest in the game. Anyway, it took the East's best with a great deal of luck to put the West down. Big things are being planned in the fight world under California's new law. The spot light of the pugilistic world is turned this way. Great arenas are being planned and championship battles are being arranged, but Orange so is being left out so far. Our flight fans will have to go out of the county. BEARS ROUTED IN LATE TRADING NEW YORK, Jan.$—Most of the speculative markets reacted today from the buoyant upward movements which characterized the first three sessions of the week. An effort on the part of the bearish traders to take advantage of this situation on the stock exchange met with rebuff, however, and after a period of irregular trading in which offerings of industrial stocks were large and prices consequently heavy, the stock market developed a strong tone and prices started a modest climb to higher levels. The oil and steel stocks were the most active of the industrials, though individual stocks in the motor equipment and mercantile groups gave evidence of their popularity. Sears Roebucks rise to a new high at 162 was notable. Marine pfd was only fractionally below the price record of 1924. U.S.Steel was a powerful leader in the industrial list and most of the independent steels were disposed to follow the lead of the market's bell wether. To the good impression created by the fact that the steel market is gradually becoming a sellers market, has been added the almost general reports of larger operations. Unfilled tonnage of the steel corporation, to be reported officially on Saturday is already estimated at 600,000 tons. As in previous session, there was a tendency on the part of the traders to avoid the spectacular and swiftly moving market specialties and to concentrate on the better grade of old line dividend payers with a long record of conservative management and moderate dividend payments. Traders were not disposed to sell stocks recently acquired and bear "drives."

The low priced oil stocks, including Simme, Shell, Incincipile, Coden and Sinclair, were under accumulation and all offerings around current price levels were taken by bullish traders who are far rably impressed by the improving outlook in the oil industry. Invincible oil was a leader in this group today with an advance to 15% up 2½ points from yesterday's low. Rails were inactive with some of the recently prominent stocks retreating to lower levels under profit taking. The St. Pauls were heavy and so were So. Pac., Reading and Union Pacific.

"THE ONLY WOMAN" A LOVE THRILLER Norma Talmadge returned to the screen of the California Theatre last night in her latest photodrama, "The Only Woman," which will be shown tonight for the last time. This feature shows Norma reunited with her erstwhile leading man, Eugene O'Rrien, and the pair went their way through a sequence of highly emotional scenes which reach a climax in a thrilling realistic yacht wreck. The story, written by C. Gardner Sullivan, reverses the usual theme of sacrifices by parents for their children, and submits the problems of a girl who sacrifices herself on the altar of marriage to save her father from financial ruin and disgrace. Though she hates the man, she marches up the church aisle amid a thong of society friends and becomes his bride, and they launch upon a honeymoon with hardly a cheery prospect in view.
