New York. Feb. cL-EconomIsts at

have discovered a method OF eNaciiuE
an immediate indemnity from Ger
many by compelling the German
Government TO float q bond issue in
the allied Countries.
This IS departure in war pay
ments. 1t presents the paradox OF
the Allies paying to themselves the
indemnity owing them by Germany.
Nevertheless the proposal can he ef-
fectivCly worked out and is probably
the only means whereby the ImmedI-
ate necessities Of the victorious na
tions can be fastened upon the
shoulders Of the German people.
Tch money that is raised in this
manner would be paid TO the United
States Government for its own use
The interest on the bonds would BE-
paid by the German government 10

With your cup the ground at your side,
While cooues and bugs OF species untold,
Danced fox-trotS over your hide:
Did you sleep in tent so small
That your head and your feet played tag
Then shake, old man, you're pal of ours,
For you've followed the same old flag.
Did you ever stand in a front-line trench
With Fritzie few feet away
With ferries and Minnies a-whstling around
And gas coming all day?
With No Mans Land a sea of steel
And tempest of bursting she'll?
Then, come IN, old man, and toast your shns

A LINE O. CHEER
EACH DAY O. THE YEAR.
BY John kendrick Bangs.
THE wEATHER-MAKER.

I'm sure IL you could have your way
You'd make each day a pleasant day,
And keep the skies forever clear
OF clouds that hide the fount of cheer.
Well, rain or shine, in raging storm,
A smile Will make the prospects warm
For some one that you chance to meet
Upon the sorrow-burdened street.
A pleasant word will bring the light
Into a noon as dark as night,
And any act of brotherhood
Will make the bleakest weather good.
So up and at 1t, Friend o'Mine.
Get busy in the weather line.
And make fine days for every one
As Understudy of the Sun.
