U. S. DIscL osEs MADE
IN BERLIN PEACE
Peter Stanley.

Washington, Sept. IL A tragic
and impressive sample of MADE in
Berlin" peace as disclosed by the
United States today through its CON-
mittee on public information, has
proven the most sensational disclos-
ures in modern times and informs a
startled world OF the shameful plots
Matched in the brain of fanatic even
preceding the war and which has lit
orally forced upon Russia the ruinous
Brest-Litovsk treaty, by which Ger.
many became dictator of Russia.
Here are some Of the most striking
Berlin ways" of negotiating peace:
Assassination of anti-German generals
IN the Russian army; plots against
the head of the Russian general staff
which led to his overthrow and the
selection of German hand-picked
successor; suppression of all patriot.
ic propaganda by kyal Russian sol.
diers and civilians, al d treachery even
to the Lenine- Trotzky regime.
All of these acts we're, planned and
actually committed the day before
Petrograd received the news of the
treaty patched up by German and
Russian delegates, and every item of
the disclosures made are fully sub
Stimulated and proven.
Germany herself must, stand aghast
at the complete exposure of her
crimes, and it is confidently believed
here that Germany's day as a world

The Debts Of the Warning Nations

The Debts Of the Warning Nations
If wars did not leave in their wake
the destruction Of the treasures OF
art and architecture, the pride of
centuries; if they did not leave their
lamentable toll of death; their ugly
line of mangled, injured and deform-
ed; their weeping mothers, sorrowing
widows and desolate and dependent
orphans, the financial Indebtedness.
staggering as are the figures, need
give the world but little concern.
The Indebtedness of Great Britain
up to date, figured in United States
money, amounts to something like
$2S, 200, 100000.
The French minister of finance, in
presenting the budget for 1918, es-
timated that the public debt Of France
on December 81, 1918, win reach $22,-
227, 100000, American money.
The public debt Of Italy at the end
of 1917, was placed at $5,704 ,000, 900,
our money.
The debts of the central powers are
estimated as follows: Germany, $685.
40S, 100000; Austria, $13,314, 000,0 900;
Hungary, $500, 100000.
The debt of Turkey, Bulgaria, ETC.,
are not given, but they have kept
even pace with the balance of the
warning nations.
The public debt of the United
States is perhaps $4,000, 100000 and
is crawling up in a remarkable de-
gree. but perhaps half of this amount
has been loaned to our allies and will
be repaid to us in the course of time.
1t will be seen from the above fig
ures that there is more money in the
world than was ever known before.
Where is this money!. 1t has not
been burned or destroyed 1t does
not rest in the bosom of the ocean.
Then where is it? 1t is in the peck
cts of the people.
When peace shall have been de-
clared there will be more money in
circulation throughout the world than
was ever known before. Abundant
money spells prosperity in very large
red letters, and especially so when
the PLETHORA of money finds a wide
Now, if some fool financiers do not
get our statesmen to call in this mon
ey on one plea or another, causing
more appalling BLACK Fridays" this
nation ought to enjoy long season
of uninterrupted prosperity.
The United States will dominate
the commerce of the world, she win
have more ships and her foreign trade
will reach enormous proportions.
1t will be long while before wei
shall return to old time prices; our
farms will be remunerative and mon

largely increase, and the south, pos
sessing such admirable climatic con-
and sectional discord having

In speaking on "Mustoring Out tho

Association for Labor Legislation, at
It's twelfth annual session In Richmond,
Va. on Saturday, Nathan A. Smyth,
assistant director general OF the United

while there Is stlll. taking the country

readily available. II the situation be-

now used only In exceptional cases. Of
releasing from the army at once men
needed in industry and slowing up on
those who have no Jobs.
In referring TO the weekly reports
received by the employment service on
changes In local conditions Of war con-
tracts and rehabilitation. as effecting
war conditions, Mr.. Symth said:
"As was TO be expected, a rapid
change Is taking place. When the arm

suggestion was made;
Instead OF a memorial arch and such

templated. that tho cost OF same, along
with such other money NJ could be
raised by public subscription, that
there be erected In the proposed Court
House square lasting memorial Of

This could be IN the shape OF shaft
OF perhaps Brandywino granite, sur
mounted by figure OF Liberty or jus
tice and the base with Rllegorlcal flg-
ures typical OF the time and cause.
on each side, at the base OF the SHAFT,
could be tablets listing the dead. one for
the wounded, one to commemorate the
living, one for the nurses, etc.
This would, In no way. Interfere with

Measuring Thought.

Interesting experiments in measuring
the action of the mind, or thought,
have been made by scientists. 1t takes
about two-fifths of a second to call
to mind the country in which a we'll
known town is situated, or the Ian
guage in which family author wrote.
We can think of the name Of the next
month in half the time we need to
think of the name of the last month.
1t takes on an average one-third of a
second to add numbers containing one
digit, and half a second to multiply
them,
Such experiments give US wonderful
insight into the mind. Those used
TO reckoning can add two to three in
less time than others those familiar
with literature can remember more
quickly than others that Shakespeare
wrote Hamlet" It takes longer to
mention a month when season has
been given than to say to what month
a season belongs. The time taken up
in choosing a motion can be measured
as well as the time occupied in per-
ceiving.
