Following the cessation of HOSTILE
ties the ordinary business OF the coun-
try, which has been SO greatly dlsar-
ranged by the necessities of war, may
confidently be expected gradually to
drift back into it's former channels
But many things probably will never
be the same. The government has as
sumed a closer relationship with bust
ness that it maintained before the war
and it is unlikely that it will ever
greatly relax it's hold on the country's
industrial and financial energies. No
important factor in production or
commerce will ever be permitted to
drift to disaster for the lack Of sus-
tanning or a controlling hand. What
has been done in war can be done IN
peace should occasion arise. From
this time forward the government may
be expected to keep a much closer
oversight and a tighter rein on bust
ness of all kinds. There will be no
financial panics or long periods of
business depression and probably
there will be fewer strikes than there
have been in the past.

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds Of men in
Americas Fighting Service

John w. Hill, machinists mate, LIST
class. U. S. N. (Aviation). prevented
the destruction of a navy seapIane by
his presence of mind, daring and ini-
tiative. The seaplane was being towed
by a motor sailor from the West Pier
to the inner basin Hampton Roads,
Va. in order to be moored out, dur
ing the storm. of September IS, when
the wind blew at approximately so
knots an hour. The heaving line had
been left loose by the motor sailor
before the plane could be properly
secured. Hill, realizing that the
plane would undoubtedly be smashed
against the sea wall toward which it
was rapidly drifting due to the ter
rible force of the wind, jumped over
board with all his clothes on and with
great difficulty swan to another buoy,
carrying line, and secured the plane
fast.
Hill has been commended by the
secretary of the navy. His wife, Mrs

PAYING THE FIDDLER.

One of the terms of the armistice
signed with Germany requires that
country to make restitution for the
damage done by her armies. Compli-
ance with this will cost her a huge
sum. In addition she must return to
the parties robbed the gold taken fir m
the national bank of Belgium and that
exacted from Russia under the Brest-
Litovsk treaty. In order to collect
these sums it may be necessary for
the allies to provide a method of pay
ment.
In order to do this the first essen
tial in the terms of a final peace
should be the invalidating of the Ger
man debt-not merely the war debt.
but the entire GERMAN debt-as the
first instaliment of penalty upon the
ruling classes of the German empire.
It is clear that some one must now or
later intervene between the German
taxpayer and the German holder of
the debt of Germany, or life will be
unbearable and a peaceful govern
ment impossible in the German realm.
The interest on the German debt
will alone total something like bill
lion dollars a year-s70 per family of
the German population total in
| terest burden adequate to support in
idleness two million German families
on a per annum income of $500.
The next important step should be
the appropriation of the German
wealth owners, and especially of the
landlord class, thru the sale of their
holdings to the German peasant and
| the German artisan on long time
terms-the annual payments less than
the rent and taxes to which the Ger
man masses must otherwise submit
If Germany be taken to be, as the
entente nations declare and know her
to have been. the aggressor, must it
not follow that Germany shall dis
charge the entente war bills to the far
thest% limit of Germanys ability ?
ship for the German peop1e-the ut
most farthing of debt and taxation
but some one must pay. The choice
appears to lie merely between COM
pelling the German aggressor to pay,
as against imposing upon the taxpay-
ers of the nations that were attacked
| this same burden OF payment-an al
tentative of forbearance that Ger
| many has definitely renowned on nu-
merous occasions. Germany has been
engaged in a mad dance for more than
four years. She now must pay the
fiddler.

No country in the world perhaps
possesses so many and varied kinds of
money as does the United States. In
addition to coins of gold, silver, cop
per and nickel we have a paper cur
rency consisting of United States notes,
treasury notes of 1890, federal reserve
notes, national bank notes, gold and
silver certificates. Few of these forms
of money are a legal tender in pay
ment of all dues. Gold coin is legal
tender according to its weight. Gold
certificates are not legal tender.
Standard silver dollars are legal ten
der, but silver certificates are not le-
gal tender. The treasury notes of
July IA, 1890. are legal tender; so are
also United States notes, except for
duties, imports and interest on public
debt. The federal reserve notes are
not legal tender. nor are the national
bank notes. Foreign coins are never
legal tender. The nickels and cents
are legal tender only to the extent of
25 cents. But in common usage any
government note is commercial tender

Sensible Christmas Gifts.

Sensible Christmas G1fts.-1.
Have you bought your Christmas
gifts early? If not get busy and do
so at once. Remember that there are
only about half as many girls behind
the counters as usual in the shops, and
that they will have to work twice as
hard II you are a Stacker who waits
till the last minute to do your shop
ping.
And when you buy your Christmas
presents bear in mind the plea of the
national council of defense to make
this a sane and sensible Christmas. and
buy nothing but useful gifts.
Let us hope that one of the great
social improvements that this war is
going to work will be the permanent
reformation of Christmas, and that it
will abolish the fool Christmas gift
along with the kaiser, and other forms
of frightfulness, never more to return
to vex us.
One Of the annual horrors, to which
we have all looked forward with
dread, has been our Christmas shop
ping. and its terror consisted in the
fact that we had to supply some i'm
aginary desire in our relatives and
friends. Somebody originated the
idiotic theory that a Christmas gift
must be romantic and poetic and in
no way connected with the recipient s
daily life and avocation and trying to
live up to this false standard has run
us crazy.
For the twenty-fifth Of December
we assumed that everybody We knew
were millionaires, and could go forth
and buy everything they needed
hence the more useless our offering
to them on the happy occasion. the
/ more appropriate it was esteemed
That was why we presented Aunt
| Maria with a marble statue of Psyche
| when she was cooking on a broken gas
| range. and why we gave Uncle George
! who hadn't a decent coat to his back.
q fifty dollar set of golf clubs that by
| no possibility could he ever use.
OF course we have all known that
! those 20 whom We gave Christmas
presents were short about a million
dollars of being millionaires. and that
they needed everything under the sun.
| But we didn't dare to give them the
things they lacked, and that is why
| at Christmas time, wildly demanding
what inappropriate gift we should buy
| for our husbands. wives, children and
! friends, as well as for OR in-laws and
enemies-or those who would be our
/ enemies on Christmas morning.
But this year we face no such a
| fearful ordeal. 1T Is decreed that on
/ a war Christmas 1t is good form to
| take cogniZance Of your family and
friends needs, and supply them ac-
| cordingly.

Somebody makes the suggestion that
Germany shall be occupied by allied
troops until every building destroyed
by her troops, and every piece of ma
chinery destroyed or injured shall be
rebuilt and replaced, brick for brick,
stone for stone, frame for frame, belt
for belt, nut for nut, If it takes fifty
years to do it. The suggestion, COM
nents the Christian Science Monitor.
seems very reasonable; in fact, almost
too reasonable.

Nor is the captive balloon the only
type that has been developed. The
navy department has in operation
which are in effect miniature Zeppe-
Inns. Their comparative size may be
gagged from the fact that while a Yep
pelin contains 100000 feet of gas,
our power balloons use only 10000 to
100000 feet. In other words, the
American dirigibies are about one
tenth the size OF the German craft,
sometimes less. They are being used
to patrol our coasts. The army would
like to use them, too, but the navy has
first call on production because it is
supposed to have more immediate
need for them.
These little dirigibles are especially
interesting because they promise to
rival the airplane as means of
peace-time flying. They are absolute
ly stable, and not dependent upon
their engines to the extent that the
plane is. They give more speed for
the same power. They can carry larg-
about these, and all other gas bags. is
that they are liable to explode and
catch fire. Lightning. and static cleo
tricity generated by the balloon itself,
are the things that threaten its life.
Yet this danger can be reduced by per-
fecting the fabric used, and by elm
mating or carefully covering all metal
parts. So far there has not been a
single accident reported in the usd of
the navy dirigibles. 1t certainly seems
probable that the airplane has a for
midable rival for supremacy in the air.
