CHINA FReWNs ON BEER.
Press Resents American Brewers
Decision to Exploit Country.

CabIegram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1918.
PEKING, China, December 23-The
decision of the American brewers to
exploit China is arousing indignation,
which finds expression in the news
papers as follows:
I've have no desire to drive out the
opium fend and then usher in the
drunken sot. Apparently the brewers
think that they must educate the Chi
nese today in the delights of western
decentralization. Why don't the
westerners come and teach US better
manners than to indulge in opium,
cigarettes and intoxicants?"
The hope is expressed that the
Washington government will imme-
diately ban such pernicious activi-
ties in China.

BERLIN, Germany, December %
fdelayed).-There are many things
which one fails to understand regard
ing the situation in Germany. On
every side one meets with contradfc-
tons. In some restaurants food is
plentiful and cards are ignored If you
have money enough to foot the bill.
In other restaurants the rations are
infinitely apportioned. While former
soldiers have potatoes and onions to
sell on street corners, many civilians
are hungry. This is probably due to
the sly trade SO termed.
The biggest inconsistencies are in
the manner in which people think the
morale of Germany. and especially
Berlin. was shattered by the war. and,
above all, by the tremendous awaken
ing to the fact that Germany could
not win Every German plan was
based upon victory. This was true
regarding the treatment of prisoners,
food stores, rehabilitation and manu-
featuring.

ALI Thought Swept Away.

Then. when the collapse came, all
basis for thought was swept away.
The Germans had no more premises;
they could not think. Now they con-
tradict one another and are timid in
action and uncertain of themselves.
Lack of proper nourishment. with the
strain of the war, has had the result
of bringing mental chaos. Before
everything was machine-like and
every thought was for the fatherland.
Today it is more or less each for HIM

or more, while often the name of the
position was accompanied by deco
ration. The workmen having earned
high wages during the war see
them disappear with the war. but they
hope to gain control of the factories,
so that they will still receive in
creased wages. Some of the unem-
ployed protest that there is no work,
hut they refuse to work in the mines
or other factories or fields outside OF
their present location.
Inconsistency in Government.
There is great inconsistency in the
government. Ebert, backed by the
moderate socialists. has Il majority
but permits the bolsheviki to organ
ize and preach sedition. DIR. Solf says
that the bolsheviki are the biggest
menace to Germany, but Germany
has not made move against
the bolsheviki. In fact. it has
strengthened their cause. The mod
crate socialists have public opinion
behind them. yet Liebknecht can run
around in an armored car. There are
only 100000 Jews in Germany, yet the
Jews have more than so per cent of
the government positions.
1 think ii would be wrong to say
that all Germany is playing fast and
loose. Many of the socialists are alb
solutely honest. just as are many of
the men holding positions, including
even those who have held over from
the old regime. They are doing their
best to further Germany'S real in
tereSt. Nevertheless some at least are
scheming with Interior motives and
are playing with fire. Perhaps they
are trying to save Germany from set
Ting its accounts with the allies.
These Schemers run the risk of bring
ing such Il disaster upon Germany that

Live More Comfortably.

Probably we pay at least twenty
times as much for the necessities and
comforts of life today as men paid in
the thirteenth century. but the cost Of
living is no higher now than then, and
we undoubtedly live much more COM
fortably. completely and BEAUTIFULLY.
The price level is of no consequence, ex-
cept to historian and antiquarian.
ut is the changing price level which
causes distress and is of concern to the
economists and all who buy and sell
things

ion, the only workable plan for COM

DR.. Irving Fisher. which aims at
changing the present dollar from a
most ptiveginconvenient and mis-
leading standard of weight, constant
~ changing in value. into an approx
mately unchanging standard of value,

ity upon the possibility of computing

RICHMOND. Va, December 27.-''The
high cost of living has nothing to do
with high prices of the necessities OF
life," declared Royal Meeker. United
States commissioner of labor statistics,
in an address he delivered today before
the American Association for Labor
Legislation, meeting here. He read a
paper on 1.-The Possibility of Compiling
a Cost-of-Living Index" He continued:
ut is merely the common term used
to express the relation between the
price of labor (wages) and the prices Of
foods, clothes, house room. fuel. etc.
1.-The high cost of living stalked
through the land even in the days Of
Charlemagne, when a whole beef could
be bought for less than the price of a
single sirloin steak today. Men com
planned bitterly Of the high cost of living

the usual story of their brothers who

added: I'VE must not permit the ma

The Independent socialists have

and some. like Georg Ledebour, siding
with the bolsheviki. Dittmann is

Some Results of
Packard
1907 War Work

AuC OUOVlA AIOSAly NAOlOA
built by the Packard Company
was shipped on November FL, a
week after its final assembly in
the Packard shops, and a week
ahead of the first anniversary of
the completion of the first Lib
erty Engine ever made from
standard tools.
It was on Thanksgiving Day,
1917, that the first Liberty Motor
to come from an organized pro-
duction line came from the pro-
duction line of the Packard.
Wrapped in an American flag, it
was shipped the same day to the
American aircraft forces.
Between T Thanksgiving and the
following March, the process of
the new war engines develop
ment was that of the accommo-
dalton of tool to design and design
to tool, always necessary in the
preparation for quantity produc-
ton of a quality motor. The
work of pioneering this develop
ment was either given by the
government to the Packard or
assumed by the Packard for the
Government. Consequently, as
late as February Is, Packard had
produced the only Liberty En-
gines in operation, and to date
Packard has built more Liberty
Motors than any other manu-
facturer has made.
The great results of that de-
velopment period are measurable
by the fact that the improve
ments effected raised the horse
power of the Liberty Motor from
367, at which the government
had accepted it for production,
to more than $50. Another re-
suit was that large scale produc-
ton rapidly followed final stand
ardization of tools and design,
so that by the end of the war,
eight months later, Uncle Sam
had more than $4,000 Liberty
Engines.
