tages which Germany has obtained in
the peace treaty with Rumania are
equivalent to an indemnity from that
nation in the opinion of the German
experts.
DR.. Won Kuehlmann, the foreign sec
rotary, asserted this before the Berlin
chamber of commerce in recent
speech, according to the German wire
less report.
He alluded to the monopoly of the
Rumanian 1917-191S wheat harvest
given To Germany, and the option on
the crops of the next seven years.
German trade privileges included
the lease to a German company for
ninety-nine years of the Bucharest
Czernavoda-Const railway line,
thus giving ready access to the petro-
leum fields and grain centers.
ConstanZa is to be made free port,
with grain silos and petroleum tanks.
He alluded to the important role
Rumania has to fill in providing a
4horoughfare to the east, especially as
she dominates the lower course of the
Danube
1t is here" he continued, there
comes into effect the international
Danube Delta committee upon which
only states on the banks of the Dan
ube can be represented. Only if the
states agree to it will the countries
lying on the Black Sea be able to come
into it, Therefore, it is especially i'm
portant for the German seaboard traf-
f1c we have been able to obtain sites
for dockyards.
"The cable between Constantinople
and ConStanza played an important
role before the war. This cable Is to
BE developed to the utmost and made
secure from enemy control.
when, some day, the damage c2us-
ed by the U-boat warfare shall have
been made good by newly built ships,
the sea route from ConstanZa will re-
gain its Importance,
'Tt would be mistake to turn our
eyes only to the east. There are the
mouths of the Rhine and Elbe. Future
policy will have to see to it that Ger
man trade strives with redoubled dar-
ing and energy to travel once more
on the open sea. The day will come
when the genius of our leaders and
the Incompatible courage of our army
and navy shall have obtained victory
and peace for us-a day when ships
again will sail the ocean under the
Black, White and Red flag.
"On that day the German merchant
and the German ship owner will prove

ANY MAN TO ANY MAN
Bv GERALD STANLEY LEE

DO not know how other men feel about it but t'nd
1 it hard with all that is happening to the world today
to look small boy in the face.
When small boy looks trustngy up to and
| see his world = the world he thinks he is going to
have, in his eyes, am afraid
The look in his eyes of the world he thinks he is
going to have cuts me to the quick.
have always felt had understanding with
small boy before.
But the last four years when he looks at me in that
old way and think of his world one see in his
eyes-the one had myself-the one every small boy
has right to- see suddenly instead the one that is
being left for him by by all of U.s. the one he will
have to try to put up with have to live in have to be
in when you and have stopped trying.
Then when face the small boy want to so off
in a wide high place alone and think and ask God !
want to go down into the city and fi8ht-fght with my
money and with my hope go the top with my
religion and then come back and face the small boy
There are days during this struggle when my soul
is spent and all the world seems made of iron and glass
and all these crowds of people Hooking through the
streets who do not seem to Gaze.
1t seems as if would not turn my head to save
world to live in myself 1t does not matter about
me-and some days the people see go by almost
make me think it does not matter about them.
Then suddenly go by troops of school children at
four o'clock pouring out into the streets. pouring
like fire. pouring like sunshine out into the streets!
1t as the roll of drums for the Liberty Loanl
want to ring great church bells to call people to
the Red Cross!
My rule for mans finding out just how much he
should subscribe to the Red Cross is this:
Put down your and address on the blank
and leave the amount open to think Then Try going
past sehoohouse about four O'Clock when the children
pouring out
Or in the evening when the house IS qllieL p1lt
down your name and the best figure you as4 an
white paper
Then go upstairs minute and look III the CRIB
Then look at your blank when you come down

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep
their bowels regular. When they
become constipated or when they
feel dull and stupid after eating they
should take Chamberlain Tablets
to strengthen the stomach and move
