We are glad
to get
the information that cold sodas
are
kept
at
the
theatre
bar
for facilitating
the
patrons
merely, and this too gives
us
the
opportunity of reminding
the
proprietor
that ab the last show when
most
the
pa-
trons
patronized
Mr.
Ritzberg’s
case,
only about five minutes
were allowed
tor
intermission
which
is
announced
for
fifteen minutes.
The people
could
hard-
ly partake
of their
refreshments
when
t
e show
started
again,
so
contrary
to
when
the theatre
bar did
all
the
selling
and the
intermission
lasted
very
often
for
upwards
of
twenty
minutes.
We
thank
the managemof
the
theatre
for the
consideration
sho vn
us in the
first
case,
and
hope
for
no
less
kindness
in
the
present.

Washington,
Feb.
4ch.—Officials
of
the
United
States
Treasury
refused
to
comment
on
the
statement
of the British
Chancellor
of the Exchequer
in an address
at Birmingham, England,
that the Unit-
ed
States
Govt.
refused
to accept
Brit-
ish
proposals
that the inter-Allied
debts
arising
from the
war
be
cancelled.
It
was
recalled
tonight
that
Sir
George
Paish,
the British
financial
expert,
put
forward
such
proposals
while
in
the
United
States
some
years
ago,
but
this
mission
was
not regarded
by the
Wash-
ington
Govt.
as
official,
so his
proposal
did not receive
official consideration.
So
far
as could be
learned tonight,
no
ofii-
cials
here
are
aware
that
the
British
Govt.
has
ever,
through
an
official
chan-
nel, proposed
a remissioa
or
canceliation
of
the
British
war
debt
tu
the
U
ited
States.
Great
Britain’s
indebiedness
which
is
about
$4,000,000
and
is
far
larger
that that of any
other
of the
Al-
lied
countries,
but this
is
explained
by
the
faect
that Great
Britain
herseif
was
th= Creditor
and disbursed
United States
funds
to her orher

Paris,

7th.—The highest
impor-
tance
is attached
by
the
newspapers
to
a Franco-Polish
dgclaration
of the
Com-
munityof interests
uniting
these
two
friendly countries.
The
understanding,
it is explained,
is “‘Not an
alliance or
a
scrcen
and
for
an
alliance but
for
the
maintenance
of
existitg
relations
of
friendship.
Ihese
ties the ‘‘Petit
Pari-
sien’’ calls stronger
than
a
writien
reli-
ance.
It is
also
believed
that
the
de
claration
means
that France
has
‘accept-
ed
the assurance
of
her
plebiscite
that
Poland
has adopted
a pacifist
policy
and
is without aggressive
intentions
against
.
ner neighbours,
thus
justifying
France
