How Can Germany Pay?

New York Journal of Commerce.
Any acquisition of Germany's
own soil, the ancient method Of for
chile acquisition of territory is ap-
parently out the question as a
means Of adjusting the righteous
war claims OF the Deiligerent ma
tions so deeply wronged by the Ger
mans
Most of the German debt is held
by her own citizens. Owing to the
peculiar conditions of blockading un-
der which the war has been waged.
Germany has found 4 difficult 70
place loans in other countries. A
few bonds were sold during the first
year or two of the war, and still
fewer at a later date, but the total
is very small The debt is held by
the German people who are the ulti-
mate source from which the burden
OF Germany's restitution must be
drawn. With this domestic debt
wiped out, repudiated, or deferred
to a distant future, Germany can
approach the allies with the offer
of an annual payment in some
agreed form for the adjustment of
her debt. Inasmuch as long pc
riod of rebuilding must be expected
before even a small part OF German
damage can be made good, an an
nual liquidation might be as effec-
tive means OF paying the debt as
any that could be devised German
industry can be set at work to pro-
, due the materials machinery and
equipment that will be needed in
the process Of restoring the district
Of Northern France that has been
laid waste as we'll as the shipping
to recreate the merchant marine
that has been sacrificed to the
ruthless" type OF warfare.
Such an annual tax may be stated
in terms OF money. but the actual
settlement Of ii must come as a reg
ular deduction from the output of
b 'Si hhoh piiihooS ioi coto anu NdCtO-
ries. from customs taxes or a tax
upon transportation until the debt
has been made good. When settle
| ment has thus been gradually ac-
complished 1t will be time enough
for the German constituted authori-
ties to consider the question of re-
compensing their own people for
the sums they have parted with for
the satisfaction OF the autocrats who
sought to conquer the world.
How to obtain security or assur-
ance for the full and complete set
tlement OF this Indebtedness, slow
! lly paid as il must certainly be, will
be a serious diplomatic and inter
I national matter. Some have sug-
i gested the temporary holding OF
German fortresses or fortified towns
or seaports pending a pro rata H.
! quidatiOn, others the sequestration
Of the German ships OF war. OBJ
jections will be made to these as to
/ any scheme currently proposed
One thing only is clear-the civiliz-
ed world will insist upon just com
pensation for losses OF life and
property occasioned by a brutal au-
tocrat.

mia are the basis or many mental
disturbances These chronic infec-
tions are known as focal infections
and may be present for years with
out their existence becoming known
to the patient, and until quite re-
Gently the physicians and the den
lists have been ignorant of their ex-I
istence.
1--WE are practically prepared toI
state that this infection originates in
the teeth, as we find the same or
ganism in the abscessed teeth, ton
sils, stomach. and duodeum, and in
no case have we been able to elimi-l
nate the teeth as the origin of the
infection. We have had five acute
maniacal cases who died within a
short time after coming to the hos
pital. Formerly the cause of death
was considered due to exhaustion
from excitement, but a bacteriolog-
ical study iS these cases showed all
the organs practically infected. We
feel that we have established very
important fact as applicable to gen
eral medicine as to nervous and
mental diseases. that is. that the in
lection originates in the teeth. and
after some years infects their or
gans through the lymphtic system.
I'm making routine examinations
of the blood we found great num-
ber of our patients who gave a posi-
tive reaction, showing that they
were suffering from a chronic infec-
ton. At first the teeth and tonsils
were thoroughly investigated. In
many cases the infected teeth were
extracted, producing gratifying re-
jority no improvement was noted.
Some twenty-five of these cases had
their infected tonsils removed and
again we noted a marked improve
ment and even recovery in one-half
of these cases. The next point OF at
tack was the gastrointestinal tract.
for many Of the patients showed ev-
idence OF chronic gastro-intestinal
infection. Finally, in April of the
present year. we were able to util-
ize a method Of accurately determ-
'n9ing the infection OF the stomach
and doudeum bv making direct
cultures from these organisms"
In this report on the dental work.
DR.. Cotton describes several causes
of infected teeth, pointing out bad
dental work, absolute neglect of
teeth, and in some cases infection
inherited from parents. He recon-
mends campaign of education in
regard to care and treatment of the
teeth, so that physicians. dentists.
and the public at large would real
ize the danger of infected teeth not
only in producing nervous and men
tai diseases, but in undermining the
general health. Also to the treat
ment DR.. Cotton says:
"All infected teeth are extracted
and infected tonsils removed AS
examples of the success Of the treat
ment. three cases of perfectly diff
ferent mental conditions were
cited"
We have no reason to doubt DR..
Cotton's statements. If man is
not crazy when he has the tooth
ache, he is so near it that fine
science would be necessary to detect
the difference. DR.. Cotton, however.
could go a bit better, without Civ
ing the dentists any too much free
advertising by discovering pre-
ventive and not a cure.

m, respectively. In the six weeks
that we have been paying for this
service-paying for 1t, mind you,
not getting it-the records show
only trifiing variations from these
hours of filing. These messages
have to be relayed to us through the
Charlotte Office of the Western I'm
ion. Making all just allowances for
legitimate delays due to such relay
ing the first report should reach us
by IL o'clock, noon, and both the
others before $3.50 p. m. In actual
practice, we get approximately that
service once or twice a week. On
our last press day we got nothing
until after 5 o'clock.
THE record shows a proper filing
in Richmond and a prompt handling
Of the business at Albemarle. which
narrows the responsibility for this
infamous course of dealing to the
Charlotte office; but we are left in
doubt whether the business there is
in the hands Of fools who are unable
to recognize their public obligation.
of incompetents who lack the abil-
ity to handle the business, or of
knaves who are methodically schem-
ing to discredit the policy of gov
ernment control of wire services
I'VE have excellent reasons for
believing that it is the settled policy
of the Charlotte Office to postpone
press service in favor of other forms
of business-to discriminate against
the service in which the whole pub
lie is interested in favor of other
services in which only individuals
are interested. Whether this speaks
the ublic-be-damned attitude so
characteristic of monopolstc pub
lie services or a stealthy design to
discredit the policy of government
control, we do not feel constrained
TO opine.
"Autocracy is not a monopoly Of
he Prussian political system. We
loathe it as it exists there; we ioathe
it only a little as it shows its ugly
face in the daily life of our own
country. 1t is never more offensive
than when exhibited in the con-
tcmptible little whippersnapper who
knows no better way to make his
Importance felt than by the inju-
rious abuse of petty authority
IF we said all we think OF the
autocrat of the Charlotte relay tele-
graph service we might not be able
to get this issue into the United
States mails. If he thinks we will
tamely submit to such outrage he is
badly fooled"
The telegraph, from all present
indications. is either over-burdened
with government service or has been
sacrificed. 1t is a convenience that
essity. and local patrons OF the tele-
graph possibly cannot say as much
as Judge Carter's paper has said
but have had more or less trouble in
getting service. 1t has come to pass
that the telegraph cannot be de-
pended upon and il is often the case
that a letter will reach its destina-
tion earlier. Other North Carolina
papers are kicking on the telegraph.

AN APPEAL TO
PATRIOTIC KENTUCKY TOWNS.

70 the People Of every town in
Kentucky;
We are warned from Washington
there is a serious food crisis ahead.
for our own people, unless food pro-
duetion is promptly and greatly in
creased There is already an acute
food crisis IN Italy and France. The
dire needs Of their people must be re
lieved by our government II they
are to support their brave men in
the trenches. II they fail, we fail;
II their lines are broken. hundreds
of thousands Of our boys cover there"
will be slaughtered. No starved army,
no starved nation can right.
We are assured that the people Of
the towns Of America can easily raise
enough food. in yards and outlying
lots to release for our hardpressed
Allies all they need. Will we do IL?
The answer TO that question is up TO
the people Of every American town; ;
up to every citizen in il; up to your
town and you.
There would have been a far more
serious shortage in food supplies the
past winter but for the increased
home garden last year. But this year,
they must be multiplied many times
to avert suffering here aud ruin
abroad.
No family Of limited means can
afford this year to be without a gar
