THE CHINA MAIL
LONDON, May 19th. In the House of Commons, replying to Mr. Charles White and Mr. Barnes, Mr. Austia Chamberlain stated that Frances nes war debt to Britain was, probably, under £300,000,000.

payment of Germany's reparation should be in the terms of the Treaty namely, the cost of the Army of Decugation Grit, and any suma allowed to Germany, for food and raw material next, But there would be no question of priority among the Allies in regard to the distribution of the mums available in pay- ment and reparation.
PARIS, May 18th.
There is a certain amount of criticism here on tha Hythe Conference result, Experts suggest an international loan for the early realisation of the amount which. it is agreed Germany can pay. On the other hand, it is admitted that the Bythe declaration is too vague to permit of a reasoned appreciation of the result of the agreement reached.

"Keepkool" Underwear
FOR MEN.
THE NEW IDEA IN SUMMER UNDERWEAR,
"The Only Elastic Ribbed Porous Underwear."
WITH the advance of civilization the question of dress ever becomes a matter of greater importance. Particularly in tropical climates any article of drees that tenda to mitigate the suffering used by extreme boat is sure to find a cordial reception.
Dlacriminating people everywhere have been educated to know that underwear is the article of apparel that really requires the greatest care in its selection. The ideal underwear for hot weather must be light in weight, durable, absorbent and elastic. For these
• reasons the poreus principle in underwear is the solution of the bot-weather problema. The pores in the fabric are in reality little cells that permit the air to circulate between the outer clothing and the skin. These little chambers allow the heat from the body to evaporate before it has a chance to condense and form perspiration, thus keeping the body dry and cool
Underwear however, must be more than porous to be ecmfort- able it must be elustir. Elasticity is of prime importance as it allows the garment to give full play to the movements of the body and prevents it from chafing and binding. Koepkool underwear
is the only brand that fulfils all of these necessary conditions. It is porous for coolness, elastic for comfort, lock stitched for durability, and absorbent for health. No other brand selling at popular prices contains all of these necessary features.
