AMERICAN FINANCE FoR
BELGIUM

In view Of the splendid efficiency
with which americans have organ
lied, manned, and carried on the
work Of relief for the people of Bel
GUM, it is only natural that the Bel
gian government and people should
be found turning to America for di-
rection in the great task Of rehabili-
tating their country. Just as soon as
they shall have recovered physical
possession Of it-and, whatever other
results may flow from the war, it is
absolutely certain that Belgium will
be restored-the Belgian people pro-
pose to be ready for the great work
of reconstituting, rehabilitating, and
rebuilding their country.
To that end they are already plan
ming; and it is reported that an
American captain Of industry, James
]. Hill, has been called into council
by King Albert to direct the great
task. It will be recalled that long
before he was ruler, and at a time
when two lives stood between him
and the throne, Albert travelled wide
ly and spent good deal Of time in
this country. For a considerable pc.
riod in the Twin Cities he enjoyed
opportunity to know important mer
of the Northwest, and among those
with whom he established a firm
friendship was Mr.. Hill. That friend.
ship has served the unfortunate King
in splendid stead; it has enlisted the
railroad king in the work first of re.
lieving, and now Of restoring, Bel.
GUM.
Belgium will need great stores Of
capital and almost endless directing
capacity when ii takes up its task O.
rebuilding. No man would be bettel
adapted to engineer these tasks thar
the man who carved an empire ou
of the new Northwest. Mr.. Hill II
just about the youngest man of hi
age in business America, and tn,
zest of a new and supremely usefu
experience would not unlikely pro
vide him opportunity to perform
even yet, the greatest work Of Nh
marvelOusly useful life.

SNOW ON THE SIDEWALKS

Probably IL Washington were
oftener called upon to deal with snow
on the sidewalks and in the streets,
the town would perfect better meth
DDS Of meeting the situation. As a
rule there Ia little snow here. and
that which comes is removed by Old
Soils street cleaning forces before
any other process could deal with It.
But there are times when snow be-
comes nuisance and a menace. Left
ON the sidewalks during a spell Of
continued cold, it is turned into a
sheet Of ice or slush, dangerous in
either case. There should be provi-
sion for the immediate removal of
snow by owners or occupants Of
property, and for It's removal by
public authority, as a charge against
the property, II the private individ-
uals did not give prompt attention.
Tho assessment of a So penalty for
failure to spend quarter dollar at
the right time, would be highly efii-
cacious. It is utterly excuseless that
Washington should have a worse
snow nuisance. for several days
every year, than cities whose an
nual snowfall Is many times greater.

for bringing the right young people
together and tipping otf 70 them
the desirability Of hitching. III
Somehow we don't Wow the out
look with SO much alarm. When
this world gets so badly disconcert-
ed that, in the spring, the young
mans fancy doesn't lightly turn in
the wonted direction, the good doc
tor can bet his last paper mark on
the proposition that state chaperon-
age will not be worth tinker's
whoop as remedy. There will,
when that lamentable condition
shall ensue, be no use trying diplo-
matte methods to rehabilitate the
race; the race will be played out. It
will be necessary, II ever that time
comes, to start over with a lot OF
test tubes full of protoplasmic mole
cules, and let the doctors spend q
few cons evolving a new human
race. So long as there are a man
and maid left on this fussy old
sphere, there will be mating and
marrying.
Still, the excellent Herr Doktor
proposes something that has its
points. His scheme OF state chap
eronage might not produce many
weddings, but there's great material
in it for librettos, A perfectly
serious-minded German Commission
for the Encouragement Of Matri-
monial Contemplation and the In
PRODUCTION Of Eugenically Desirable
Adolescents Of Opposite Sexes,
would be one Of the most edifying
enterprises that could be establish
ed in a world tending just now a
bit toward the somber. For II
hardly need to be said that Herr
Doktor proposes to catch 'em right,
mate 'em scientifically, and make
'em love each other according to
rules,

LOANS ON MUNITIONS

The hand Of the propaganda has
dabbled, 80 It 10 revealed in the an
npal report Of the Federal reserve
board, in the national banking Bys-
tenn.
Not IN so many words does the
board tell It. But it remarks that
It has received numerous inquiries
about foreign borrowing in the
United States. Il has considered
the inquiries carefully, and has had
competent legal advice on whether
"the purpose for which goods are
sold or exported or the use to which
such goods are ultimately put" falls
within its province or jurisdiction.
It takes no very alert intelligence
to detect the purpose Of these let
ters Of inquiry. Some demanded to
know whether the great banking
system Of q neutral nation could be
used to finance the trade In unneu-
tral bullets. Others were in Bryan's
best vein, and demanded to know
whether BY shutting down ON this
.trfffic in human blood" the Fed
eraf=bznks could not aid In putting
a stop to this "cruel and inhuman
war"
With all Of which, as the board
replied, 1t has no concern. 'Tt Is not
the province Of the board to deal
with problems involving interna-
tional relationships. The eligi-
bility Of paper for reserve banks Is
determined by considerations which
arc as valid under one set Of inter-
national relationships as another.
&an0
II the loans are sound It is no
business of the Federal reserve
board whether they are on smoke
less powder bills Of lading or baby
carriages. OF course, any one
should know that. Every one prob
ably did. The interesting thing Is
to note the ramifications Of the ac-
tivities Of the pacifists and the
hyphenates-also their lack Of
| finesse.

the STATE AS A ChAPERoN

A certain DIR. E. r. Uderstadt,
who needless to say is German,
proposes now, in long and SEEM
ingly very earnest article. that the
state go into the business of pro-
noting matrimony. He figures that
after the war there will be need for
encouraging marriage and increas-
ing the birthrate in order to restore
the supply Of young mon.
But, he calculates, young folks OF
both sexes are going to be awfully
busy attending to the worlds work
There win be so much work to dc
that he fears they will get out Of
the habit Of courting, falling in love
and mating. Therefore, the state
should tactfully step in and bOcs'
the game BY providing easy msan'

to talk over things that concern the
life Of the neighborhood.
That phase alone looks, TO the
average citizen, as a good invest
ment in the small extra amount
asked for to provide such commu-
nifty centers with secretaries. The
Sunday afternoon meeting was as
educational to adults who attended
as the week day sessions Of school
are to the children. When persons
Ideplore the expenditure Of money on
schools for other than educational
purposes" Il is well to see whether
their definition Of educational" may
not be sadly restricted.

UTILIZING SCHOOL PROPERTY

Washington's school property Is
worth millions. At present it works
six hours a day, five days week,
nine months a year.
Congressman Page thinks that, in
asking Congress for funds to throw
open these schools to the entire COM
munity, Washington citizens are try
ing to loot the Treasury. Miss Mar
garet Wilson, sponsor-in-chief Of the
community center movement, be-
lieves that the schools should be
made as useful to adults as to chill
dren.
If private philanthropists are to
run these community centers those
who use them will become recipients
Of charity. If the citizens of the
neighborhood "chip in," as Mr.. Page
suggests, for janitor service, for
lighting, and for heating, the use
will be limited to those who choose
to pay. Thus the very class that
most need the schools will be ex-
cluded.
Commissioner Newman, in an ad-
dress before the Monday Evening
Club, advised against either Of these
plans. He suggested that the citi-
zens' associations take over the
movement at first, and operate few
Of the centers as demonstration to
Congress of how useful they may be-
come. That idea was seized upon
last Sunday afternoon at the Grover
Cleveland School where the first
community forum" was held. II
was there that Congressman Page
and Miss Wilson expressed their di.
yergent views.
No better proof is needed Of the
wholesome effect Of such gatherings
than the discussions aroused BY
these opposing viewpoints. The
forum brought the community cen
ter problem squarely into the open
and the newspapers have taken it VI
since. More attention was attracted
to the subject than by any amount
Of discussion at clubs, or at sporadi,
mass meetings.
Such discussions Of civic affair,
form but one phase Of the commu
nifty center plan. But the demo
cratic way in which everyone ha
jumped into the discussion Is tn
best proof Of the zest and stimuli

that no pressure OF whatever nature
