indirect, however, inasmuch as the
government expects none OF the
payments to so TO its credit.
Whatever may be the weight OF
the final burden of reparation and
restitution to be placed on Germany
the enormity OF the task ahead OF
her may be illustrated by comparl-
son OF the national debt with that
OF the United States. Germany has
66,000000 population and $4,000
100000 OF estimated wealth TO pay
SS5,000.00O000 OF war debt already
created The United States has
100000 population and an est'-
mated national wealth OF S29OOOO.-
100000 to pay nearly SlS,Oo0,O0o'oOo
war debt already created, or approx
imatelv S2S,000.000 within an
other six months. This means that
the per capita burden will be at least
three times greater in Germany than
in the United States.

By George Barr McCutcheon
of The Vigilantes.

In the little Connecticut town OF
Norfolk there is triangular piece
OF ground belonging to the people
For wears it stood useless, almost
Abandoned and to a certain extent
unnoticed. Norfolk sent to France
early in 1918 a score and a halt OF
her boys to fight with the American
Armies. Other boys followed and
still more in due course were called
from the small but hardy class rep
resenting the fighting quota.
A few months after the first con-
tincent marched out ol the town on
its way TO the training camp ana
thence 10 the line OF battle. Norfolk
began to receive its share OF ,idings
from the front. Names OF boys
known 10 every one in the town
were found in the lists OF those
killed in action - Boys whose faces
were bright and shining and whose
voices were strong and CHEEKY were
never to return. They were lying
in the fields OF France, covered with
the earth OF France. and over the
graves OF each stood Ike small but
noble cross OF wood bearing name
and date.
The return OF these names 10
Norfolk instead OF flesh and blood
that went away, gave Norfolk IS
inspiration. The little green tri-
angle became a tract Of glory. No
more will it be looked upon as a
waste, no more will the people OF
Norfolk call it worthless bit OF
ground. For some one thought OF 4
wav to make it rich; some one
thought OF a way to make It the
most cherished spot in Norfolk.
on Flag Day in the year that the
war made heroes OF these lads from
Norfolk the people OF that place
dedicated the point OF this triangle
10 the memory OF those who were
not to come back from France. At
that time four OF NorfolkS boys
we're living in France AMI the plan
little cross OF wood, and on tins day
iour little crosses OF wood similar
to those in France, with a name and

ground at the point oi the triangle
and there they will stay Until they
are perhap, replaced by more en-
during and impressive marks OF trio,

JAPAN IS LOYAL
TO HER ALLIES

as loyal to the great alliance caused
bv this war" as she is to the Anglo>
Japanese alliance, declared Niscount
Uchida, the minister, OF foreign at
fairs in the new Japanese cabinet
in an interview today. She regards
the alliance with Great Britain as
the cornerstone OF her foreign pol
icy, he added.
1--WE are impressed" he continued
"by the most recent utteranceS OF
the president OF the United States,
addressing the people of that coun-
try. The declaration OF the president
that with perfect unity OF purpose
and counsel will come the assurance
OF complete victory seems 10 me the
first principle in the solution OF the
difficult problem before us. There
can be no League OF Nations unless
there is among the members as conf
plete unity OF confidence and trust
in one another as OF purpose and
counsel. The 'noblenesS oblige OF
the West or the 'Bushido' OF the
East must permeate and guide the
action OF any such league. Dis
trust and suspicion must be leit
outside the door.
Japan has always endeaVOred to
make plain by word as well as by
deed that she is ready to undertake
fair proportion OF the work look
inc to the attainment OF the COM
mon aim and she is as loval to the
great alliance created by this war
as to the Anglo japanese alliance
which Japan invariably regards aS
the cornerstone OF her foreign pol
icy.
I'VE are all Joined now closer
than ever by common duty to obey
common mandate TO prevent the
sroilation OF a nation which was be-
trayed in an hour OF great weak
ness. Our great neighbor Russia Is
not disloyal. She has been regard
ed as disloyal simply because an

Russia must come into possession OF
their heritage and be helped to Sc

Memel May Be Developed
AS Lithuanian Seaport

Washington. Nov. lS.--In the
German song "Deutschland Ceber
Allies" which is probably not being
shouted as yociferously today as It
was four years ago, it is declared
that Germany stretches from the
Mas tothe Memel.' AS matter OF
fact, the German population STOP"
considerably short OF the River
Memel. The Memel valley is inhab t
ed chiefly by Lithuaniaus and the
seaport city OF Memel, located at
its mouth. is almost wholly Lithu-
anian city.
In the middle ages the Lithuanian
race IN this region extended up to
the Nistula. But in the 18th century
the Teutonic Knights conquered tie
territory and started to oppress the
people. Notwithstanding persecu
tions. attempt at Germanlzlng the
population through school and
church. and the iron rule OF the Ger
man police and officials. the northe
part OF East Prussia still remained
Lithuanian.
Mcmcl (called Klaipeda by the
LithuanianS) is the natural Lithu'
anisn outlet to the Baltic sea. TIE
Germans could not develop it as
port because there was no mainland
behind it which was under German
control. and only a narrow strip oi
the territory was under German
SWAY. So the Baltic trade went else
where. II conditions change and Ger
man control OF Lithuania is re-
moved, Memel should become 4

is very religious. SO much so in fact
that she takes him to both Sunday
school and church every Sunday
morning. When morning comes he
willis, but he goes and gets on his stiff
collar just the same; he willis again,
but he goes along to all the services
because he believes in 1t and his
wife knows 1t. but one might judge
by the longing glances he casts at the
