and made no reply. I had never seen
many girls and had no very high opin-

As we sat there I heard the men
talking about the great Silas Wright,
who had just returned to his home
In Canton. He had not entered my

my feet that were Drowned by the

The absent watermelon didn't seem to

To the experienced motorist,

On the road, they mean safety,

In maintenance, they mean econ

Anarchy Is always imminent.
MANIAc's COURT.
All Of which proves to the modern
world how futile and meaningless is
the appeal to arms to settle interna-
tional disputes in world delicately
adjusted with thousands of economic
springs and checks and balances.
The victor at arms may easily be
the loser in business and the loser at
arms may become the victor in the
very things for which the war was
fought. Might at arms does not pro-
duce right in any area Of human liv-
ing. War is maniac's court!
junker spirit is dead in Germany. 1t
has received a body blow. But 1t still
has hopes. The present government is
| functioning in Germany under a cyni-
cal Junker hope that the middle class
now in control will go down under
pressure of war indennlties and prob
lens and that chaos will rule-work-
ing class chaos-which will bring the
Junkers back to rule. The Junkers
| feel that If they can throw Germany
| into chaos Europe will go with Ger
many and that they can restore Ger
many quickly enough not merely to
| put her in the economic lead Of Eu-
rope, but in political lead also. The
chaos into which they expect to throw
Europe and from which they expect
to revive Germany for the general
resurrection Is to be their opportunity
to re- organize Germany with Rus
sian alliance and with leadership in
the Balkan states. Thus are the van
pushed preparing to divide the spoils
! of victory!
All of which is depression. But II
seems a necessary depression for 1t is
before the mad court of war that Ger
many and France have come with Their

matter what finding the court may de-
eide upon, France is bound to lose. Fol
the Germans really can afford to pull
down the house OF civilization in Eu-
rope in temporary chaos even though
Germany falls in the ruins, for the Ger
mans are docile and obedient people
and they respond quicker to leadership
than the other people in Europe, and
probably would come out of the chaos
more rapidly. Unless one has been In

boar, 10 a puzziing question.
OF course, the simple thing to do
would be to notify the citizens Of
Coblenz, Cologne, Mayence. Frankfurt
and Essen that on a certain date these
towns would be blown up, their fac
tories looted, their industries devastat-
ed; all their suburban villages up and
down the Rhine reduced to powder,
and the farms of the Rhineland sown
to salt. But that cannot be done. Per-
haps this territory might be annexed
for Industrial purposes for so years;
but that would require an interallied
standing army of 100000 men, and
the cost of maintaining these men and
the industrial cost of keeping them
out Of productive pursuits at home
would offset the value of their military
services. Yet the mere assessment of
damages will not pay for the harm that
is done, no matter how large the dam
age sum Is made. For the value Of
money fluctuates; and the very size
of the necessary sum is liable to
cheaper it. 1t has been suggested that
the German prisoners be set to work
restoring the ruined villages and cities
and farms; but that will take years,
and leave Germany striding ahead in
the worlds markets. To put an eco
nomic boycott on German goods makes
it impossible for Germany to sell her
products and pay her debts to the al
lies; for she can't raise the money by
swapping chips and whetstones among
her own people. The problem has no
adequate answer.

In the meantime 1t may be we'll to
consider Germany's interior situation.

various important industries. The coal
miners lin England and Germany are
in a bad mood, and Europe is SILVER
ing. 1t is true that shop windows are
full Of food everywhere in Europe. But
it also is true that this food, while
it reaches the rich and gets to the
big hotels, Is barred from the poor.
WAGES 81; BUTTER 81.
The policeman who guards public
order in Belgium, for instance, gets
four francs a day, and the street car
driver five francisco cents and 81 a
day. The common laborer in the
Rhineland gets 65 cents per day, and
butter is 81 per pound; and other
things accordingly. In Albania and
the near east where actual famine is
found, they are selling Asyoung Greek
girls in the market place, and one
hears that prices are very reason
able! In the Balkans a kind of near
war RACES, which amounts to semi
private killings, and the whole conten-
ton, at base is food. Fifty are killed
today, 10 yesterday. 80 tomorrow.
And in Russia starvation is almost
the common lot. The Bolsheyiki are
depending upon widening the area OF
pillage to hold their adherents. The
workmen in Bolshevik factories have
fallen off SO and rs per cent in almost
every industry, according to their owr

Paris, Feb. 19.-(By Mail.)-The
real Job OF the peace conference, now
that a tentative draft of the league of
nations has set that top spinning, is to
find some way to let go of the tail Of
the bear-Germany being the bear and
her tremendous economic advantage
being the undesirable tail. AS 1t stands
Germany, the vanquished, has the ad-
vantage over France, the victor. No
matter how high the bill of damages
may be, there still remains German
advantage in the situation which dam
ages will not remove. France was
anxious that President Wilson should
view the devastated area of France
But that picture was one side Of the
shield. To see clearly what France
must suffer the president should visit
Industrial Germany.
In France the white scar Of ruins
stretches like leperous scale from the
mountains to the sea. Cities are
wrecked, farms are bombed into waste
land, commerce Is blighted, homes are
ruined, civilization is blanched and
dead. This blighted area is from so
to 100 miles wide. Then it stops as
sharply as though some terrific fire
had been checked, and at the German
border we see another picture. There
the cities are untouched, the farms fat
and smiling, business Is proceeding as
usual homes are comfortable and CIV
ilization functioning as though no
great war had touched it. Furnace
fires are glowing in the factories and
while raw materials are lacking and
most factories are working only on half
time. yet upon the whole the compli-
Gated thing called life is proceeding
throughout Germany without serious
impeachment.
STARTS RACE AHEAD.
When peace is declared, when
the amount of the bill for damages
is rendered, Germany will pay it
perhaps by repudiating her home
debt, perhaps by mortgasing her
future, but having settled the
bookkeeping necessary to get tho
debt off the daybook, Germany
will start in the race for tho
worlds markets abreast with Eng
land and ahead Of France! Such
is the irony Of the victory for
which we fought. II Is trasieaIiy
unfair and of course the peace
conference will not let this eondi-
tion rest. But how to cnangs this
condition, how to take from Ger
many her economic advantage,

England has got to choose between Sir E. Carson and the goodwill of America, and we know England's ca pacity for making a good bargain, and I think we will find before long in the English Press the discovery that Sir E. Carson, who so long held forth as the purest type of patriot, is really person whose vices they have only begun to find out
 Personally, l prefer a man like Carson to any of the English politi- clans. He is a straighter man, and an abler man, but they will sell him as they sold every man who stood in their way. We admit the right of the people of N. E. Ulster to be Irishmen, and have the full benefits and privil- eges of an independent Ireland con- ferred upon them, but the Ulster men must, however, choose one or the other, and if they choose to stand by England, then they could take the al formative George Washington gave to the American loyalists, when he said:
 Any of you, Americans, who place the interests of England above the freedom and happiness of your coun- try, you can pass over to the enemy S lines, and settle on English terri tory.
 They can have compensation if they like to go, or they can stay and accept the Irish nation.

STARTS
 CAMPAIGN ON
 ALIEN SLhCKERS

With the broad hint that the dis erect and provident alien stacker will make his ship reservations carly the American Legion Weekly" official organ of the National Association of the Veterans of 1918, announces in its current issue a vigorous campaign to bring about the wholesale depor- tation of those non-citizens who avoided service in the war. It says:
 The state organization of the American Legion in Oregon has com piled list of all alien slackers, giv- ing their names to the press for pub lieation, and is making their existence uncomfortable generally. Foreigners who cancelled their first papers at the outbreak of the war are included in the list of alien slackers.
 The attention of men who em- ploy alien slackers and who deal with them is being brought by the legion's local members to these undesirables. Similar action throughout the coun- try may be looked for shortly
 Americans are credited with the haracteristic of forgetting quickly but the men who were in service are not going to forget the alien stacker, either now or later. They are very much in earnest in their opposition to entertaining these individuals longer in America. The issue will not be neglected or laid aside"
 New Workers who served in the navy during thep eriod of the war arep tanning the organization of an exclusively naval post of the Ameri- can Legion. A call was sent out from the legion headquarters, 14O Nassau street, yesterday, for a meet ing Thursday evening at the Navy Club 5O9 Fifth avenue. All men who served in the navy, either af1oat, or ashore, are invited. About 16,000 New Workers are eligible.
