THAT GERMAN WAR DEBT

The German war debt is estimated
at anywhere from $4,000, 100000 to
S50,OOO,O00,000, according to the ca
price of the estimator. Statisticians
are such imaginative fellows anyhow!
BE that as 1t may. All possible al
gregations Of billions look pretty
much the same to the American citi.
zen paying an average.sized income
tax and trying to save enough over
to buy an occasional thrift stamp for
the baby.
What the writer started out to say
is this: We should concern ourselves
out the Huns war debt. They owe
1t to each other. Let them pay It by
cancelling 1t. Then Germany, free
from domestic war obligations, can
afford to go ahead and pay the indem-
uities she owes the allies.

THE POSTAGE REPEAL

That letter postage Will drop from
it's present form, is most satisfactory
news. Post card rates are to go back
to one cent for domestic postage at
the same time.
But perhaps the best of the postage
provisions is that of abolishing the
zone rate for newspapers and maya
zines. The country according to the
bill, is to be divided into two zones,
instead of eight. Newspapers and
periodicals can be sent at the rate OF
one cent pound within radius of
200 miles, and at rate of 1la cents a
pound anywhere beyond that.
If there was any one agency con

JOHNSON TOPITCH
OPENER HERE WHEN
YANKEE MEN PLAY
By LOUIS A. DoUGHER.

Walter johnson, king Of American
League hurlers, will pitch the open
ing game Of the 1918 season against
the Yankees at Georgia avenue.
There have been rUmors to the enect
that he was holding out, but the tall
Kansan has put the little old kbosh
on these tales with a telegram to
friend in Washington.
johnson has received his 1918 con-
tract. and It very likely contains a
slice on last years figures. but the
Mig fellow has been so busy on his
afm at Cofeyville, Kan, that he has
hal no time to write to Manager Grif-
fifth. That's all there is to it. Wal
ter announces that he expects no
trouble" aud will meet the. club
half way"
johnson is a good business man.
He mas always been that ever since
becoming a member OF the Washing
ton club, and it is just because OF this
that he will have no trouble coming
TO terms with the Washington club.
Arguments that would fail with some
players through their ignorance Of
business conditions will readily be un-
derstood by johnson. He realizes his
own worth, but he also knows that
the 1918 baseball season will be pretty
much Of a gamble on the part Of the
magnRtes.
When it is generally known around
the country that Walter johnson Is maxi
ing no effort to hold up his club. many
other players will be led to see the
Hight. for they all know that Johnson
was one Of the highest paid men in the
game for the past three years, and that
his business sense is telling him how the
wind is blowing.
