A CAMOUFLAGE GERMAN FLEET

One of the marine publication calls attention to the fact
that while the German governmental the peace treaty appar-
emily is stripped of its merchant marine and must restore by
building new vessels many of the craft destroyed by the u
boats Germany in fact will have a secret merchant marine OPP
Grating in its interest and for its benefit. 1t says the Germans
really own many vessels that fly neutral flags and also that Ger
mans have made heavy investments in shipbuilding plants in
various countries.
The statement is undoubtedly true although the papers
declaration that the neutral ships owned by Germans today
represent 500, 900 tons may be an overestimate.
There are various ships flying the American flag that are
German owned. The authorities at Washington and at London
have full knowledge Of this fact. There is one group of ships
of American registry that is German owned. 1t will be inter-
esting to note how the British and American governments act
in relation to them. Early in the war the British blacklsted
these vessels after collecting evidence of how the American
who poses as their principal owner and managing director OBJ
tanned the money to finance the purchase of the craft.
The Germans have control or partial control of ship
building plants in Norway, Sweden, Spain, and elsewhere. 1t
will be a difficult matter for the Allies to prevent the Germans
from utilizing these plants. They are pretty well camounaged
through dummy ownership.
In the deals to put German owned vessels under Ameri-
can registry Hugo SHINES, the coal king of Germany, handled
the money for the Germans and various Milwaukee gentlemen
posed as the purchasers. Some of the work the americans
did in this deal was crude. In one instance a Wisconsin person
elected a director of the American company owning the yes
sells did not know he had 100000 stock in the corporation or
paper. Then he declined the honor and repudiated the alleged
ownership of the stock.
The Germans are great for schemes but they lack fnesse.

Observations

If the covenant is a 'rope of sand" as the directors de-
clare, why should they object to being tied by it? s
Wilson says that Article X will leave to each nation 'com-
plete freedom of choice as to the application of force.' Ger
many had that under the old system.
Since Mr.. Wilson refused to tell how the American dele
gates voted on Japan's proposal for a racial equality clause,
and refused in the interest of international good understand
ing everybody knows how they voted.
And another first class argument for peace Is the fact that
we must keep troops along the Rhine for fifteen years.
We must remember that any treaty that would satisfy the
senate would be rejected by Europe. Europe has not yet adj
mitted that America is the official arbiter Of the worlds des-
tiny.

Early today Saturn and Uranus are
friendly, according to astrology, but
later Mars and Jupiter are in malefic
aspect. In the evening the Sun holds
kindly sway.
The stars seem to forbid business or
financial dealings Thai concern var

There Is a sign rea as ~presaglng'
sensational charges concerning the
destruction and waste of government

in France.
Mars and Jupiter are in aspects
that seem to presage much trouble
relating to the business side of the
United States Army.
Saturn today gives encouragement
to the aged and to those who have
long held high place, but they q I

Close tn Earth.


I never yet have ridden in airplane
or balloon, although I've often been
hidden to board one and go skiddin'
around the smiling moon. In motor
cars I've gadded, but I'm not keen to
fly; until the earth is padded, with
velvet cushions added, I will not
soar on high. I note the plane and
scan it, but if I fell from that, the
jolt would shock the planet, and all
the folks who man it, and leave the
buildings fiat. Il hold it right and
proper for youths to tour the air; fer
they're as tough as copper, and If
the come a crepper theS do not need
to care. But my old blood is chilly,
1 limp in many styles. and I'd look
rather silly if I fell. willy-nilly, about
a dozen miles. My years are three
score seven, and I'd lose dignity, If I
came down from heaven, some four
teen leagues or 'leven, and landed in
a tree. I hear the air fans calling,
Come with us. if you pleased" The
sport is too appalling for ono whose
beard is falling, all snowy, to his
knees. Let reckless youth unravel
the cloudland's mystery; the soil on
which 1 travel, the u~nupholstered
gravel, is good enough for me.

The Sayings Of
King Solomdn
BY REV. CHARLES srELzLH

When . Clever young man once
ridiculed the Proverbs of Solomon
saying that anybody could write such
stuff" a wise man quickly turned to
him and said:
suppose o write a fewt"
The Proverbs have been called The
Business Mans Guide-Book," but
there's sound advice in this wonder
full book for every man.
Here are some Of these proverbs
picked at random:
THE fear of the Lord is the begin
ming of knowledge: but fools despise
wisdom and instruction"
incline thine ear unto wisdom, and
apply thine heart to understanding;
Yes, If thou criest after knowledge,
and liftest up thy voice for under
standing;
eff thou seekest her as silver, and
searchest for her az for hidden treas
ure,
Then shalt thou understand the
fear of the Lord, and find the know
ledge Of God"
Happy is the man that indeth
wisdom, and the man that getteth un-
Outstanding.
Fol the merchandise Of 1t is bet
ter than the merchandise of silver
and the gain Thereof than fine gold"
Keep thy heart with all d%iligence;
for out of it are the issues of life"
The lips of a strange woman drop
as an honeycomb, and her mouth is
smoother than oil;
But her end is bitter as worm
wood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death; her
steps take hold on hell"
"Reprove not a scorner lest he hate
thee; rebuke a wise man, and he will
love thee.
Give instruction to a wise man,
and he will be yet wiser: teach a just
man and he will increase In learn
ing"
"A wise son maketh a glad father;
but a foolish son is the heaviness of
his mother"
"In the multitude of words there
wanteth not sin: but he that refrain
eth his lips is wise"
IA talebearer revealeth secrets: but
he that is of a faithful spirit conceal
eth the matter.
Where no counsel is, the people
fall: but in the multitude of council
lors there is safety"
"As a jewel of gold in a swine's
snout, so is a fair woman without dis
cretion."
There is that scattereth. and yet
-fncreaseth: and there is that with
holdeth more than is meet but 1t
tendeth to poverty"
1.-THE liberal soul shall be made fat:
and he hat watereth shall be water
ed also himself"
Tile that diligently seeketh good
%procureth favor; but he hat seeketh
mischief, it shall come INTO him.
IA ~virtuous woman is n crown to
her husbasd: but she that maketh
ashamed is as rotteness in his bones"
There is that speaketh like the
piercings of a sword: but the tongue
of the wise is health"
"a prudent man concealeth knowl-
but the heart of the fools pro-
claimeth f~oolishness."
'"There is that maketh himself rich.
yet hath nothing: there is that max
eth himself poor yet hath great
riches"
There is a way which seemeth
right unto a man, but the emo there
of are his ways of death.
"a soft answer t6rneth away wrath:
but %grievous words stir up anger"
"a merry heart maketh a cheerful
c~ountenance; but by sorrow of the
heart the spirit is broken"

of the day-plays that have plenty or
action and comedy in fhem-'Why

Wednesday nights, and The Open
Road for Christmas matinee and
night, and Friday and Saturday
nights.
: The response to Miss Austin's offer
ings of legitimate, clean, moral plays,
complete in every scenic detail and
effects has been most gratifying to
the mana cement. especially the num-
Der of society ladies that have made
UP little parties to see Miss Austin in
her dramatic roles.
At today's performance there will
appear for the first time Billy Chagnon,
Miss Austin's new leading man, who
was unable to join for the first week.
In Mr.. Chagnon the patronage will
find a gentleman and an accomplished
actor, with a strong personality, and
we predict a strong following for him.
The balance of the company have now
settled down into their respective roles
and as the audiences are becoming bet
ter acquainted with them, they are ad-
miring their sterling worth.
OF Miss Austin herself, it is super
fluous to say anything. as once you
see her you become so enraptured
with her artistry that you are a regu-
lar patron from that time on.

FOOD PRODUCTION
ALARMS GERMANS

Berlin, Dec. 21.-Production Of food
in Germany decreased to such an ex-
tent as to alarm the national commits
sion of German agriculture, which now
demands that government control of
farm products be abolished except in
the case of wheat. The commission re-
flutes a statement by. the national eco
nomic ministry that the German people
are in no danger of shortage of food
and declares that Germany will suf-
fer an unlimited collapse" unless the
problem is attacked with open eyes.
The power of production has sunk
so much and the beef supply is so low
that only speedy reconstruction can
come anywhere near safeguarding
Germany's food supplies, asserts the
national commission. 1t states that
wheat shortage in the coming year
will amount to 100000 tons. The
potato bread rationS cannot be main
tanned during the coming winter, it
says, for the potato crop also has
been falsely estimated
The commission demands that con-
troll of meat, sugar and barley be
abolished and a premium be offered
for production of potatoes.
