or about SS,000.000 day since the be-

BERLIN, Dec. 15.-Dr. Karl Helf-
ferich, imperial secretary of the treas

lem before the reichstag, declared
England sees the hand writing on the
wall. He predicted the downfall and
dissolution of the British Empire.
He reiterated the charge that the
responsibility for the bloodshed and
misery and the endangering of civili-
cation was upon those who foolishly
and criminally still speak of Ger
hangs humiliation and partition.
A bill for an additional two and a
half billion war credit was given a
first reading.

now that the men or Greece are no
longer citizens but have become SOL
diers.
Or perhaps the Greeks may go with
the allies, is that possible? viii they
try a dash into Bulgaria? Or will
the Bulgarians try a dash into Sa-
lonika, this city, where Bulgarians
and Greeks fought one whole night
thru the streets, three years ago
with the result that Salonika, over
night, became Greek City while the
Bulgarians fled.
All of these questions you head dis
eussed in the excited cafes of Salon
ika, these warm, semi Oriental nights.
Just now all the questions that the
world is asking about what is go
ing to happen in the neighborhood of
Saionika, are being asked in Salonika
itself. The folks here don't know
any more than the folks in New
York.
But will the answer be any more
important to them, nears as they are
TO the scene, than it will be to the
people of New York? What happens
in the Balkins, within the next few
weeks, may send tidal waves to the
ends of the earth and to the ends of
human history.

MISSOURI TO THE Front.

Stories about the Missouri mule. the
Missouri houn dawg and the old fash
Toned methods of farming in that
state never fail to bring laugh. But
we fear that the tables would be
turned should loyal sons of some of
the other states ever engage in a
comparison Of the road proposition.
While Iowa is gloating over its
cross-state highways, whose bid for
fame is based upon the liberal use
Of the grader and the drag. Missouri
has 119 miles of the Old Trails road
from Kansas City to st. Louis al
ready rocked or graveled and counties
are voting bonds to complete the 303
miles as fast as the elections are
held.
Last month special road district
in one county thru which the Old
Trails road runs approved bond is
sue for $4,000 to build link of
10 miles. The vote was seven to one
in favor of the bonds.
The counties compete to see which
one can pass bond issues by the
greatest majorities. The ration of
seven to one is fair example.
Some Of our Colorado people should
pattern after Missourians, fol Of all
states we need good roads. Let us
get behind the good road movement.

Coal is $40 ton in Italy, and con-

in one week. This has become u SER

price of coal has never before been
known. To Italy the shortage is SER
ious chiefly because Italy possesses no
coal mines of her own at home or
in the African colonies, so there is no
outlook for getting a supply except
from abroad, and the foreign supply
