...Done," answered the U. S. Debt Commission. There was no haggling over interest and terms. Summarily it was agreed that the Czechs shall have 62 years for payment, with 3% interest for ten years and 3½% thereafter. They will pay 3 millions a year for 18 years and nearly 6 millions a year thereafter...
Proposal No. 1. M. Caillaux's first offer called for payments in general as follows: $25,000,000 a year for five years; $30,000,000 a year for the next five years; $60,000,000 a year for the next ten years; $90,000,000 a year for 42 years-then the extinction of the debt.

This proposal was evidently that on which the French...

The specialist said that he had visited his colleague's residence 20 times and that the patient had come to his office at least 300 times. He demanded 1700 marks in payment and the colleague objected. The court, finding that free treatment of other physicians is the custom, refused to grant judgment in the case...

Grateful, Britannia showered the aged potentate of nearly three score and ten with decorations. Touched and admiring, British citizens hailed him as an ardent cricketer, who, when he could no longer bowl, field or run, continued to bat and had someone...
