{ The amount of indemnity that Ger inany shall pay to the allies appears so have been decided upon with 100, aD0 100000 marks fixed as the sum to- tai when all has been collected. This means slightly less than $24,000,000, poo, and if .he policy of making Ger many pay to the limit of it's capacity has been followed it indicates what the allied experts have learned re- garding the financial condition of tNat country.
 ; In view of al. that Germany has Gone, taking into consideration that which can be replaced and that which cannot, it cannot be considered a bit too large, even though it is a tremen- dous sum of money. Germany has done it's utmost to cripple the terri tory over wfjch it's armies were sent The devastation which it has caused tells how successful it was and it is only proper that it should be made to bear the burden of restoring what can be made good. And in this connection it is to be remembered that Germany is. not going to suffer the handicap of industrial activity that Belgium and northern France r.Yst They have been wrecked while Germany is in tact. It has suffered none of the wrongs that it has inflicted upon the others. It will not take lcng for it to respond to tie peace time demands and it will therefore have an advan- tage in meeting the obligation that will be imposed upon it.
 Germany has of course piled up 2 pig debt in the conduct of the war That it owes toysits own people and il must get secondary consideration. It B possible to repudiate it in the re- construction out its debts are not as large as those it has forced onto other nations and the indemnity will come far from balancing the devastation and paying off those debts. Germany is being treated much more leniently thsn it would have treated others flaC il won the war

REMOVING WARS RESTRICTIONS

War restrictions are not being re- moved any faster than the peace set tiement is being accomplished. but progress is being made i'll both direc- tons. During the war it became nec- essary to censor the cable conmuni- cations between this country and northern neutrals for the purpose of guarding against the giving of assist ance to the enemy and even though tho fighting stopped months ago the British have continued to maintain this policy. It was valuable protec- tive measure but it is time that it was withdrawn, and such is apparently so regarded by the British since it is announced that the censorship is to cease this week, and at the same time there will be allowed postal, wireless and cable communicat tiots between Germany and neutral countries to such m extent that it will be possi- ble to secure the fulflment of the food agreements which were recently made at the conference at Brussels.
 This latte.' privilege is extended with the understanding that the com
 
 that there can be no objection raised since it IS allowed only to- facilitate the meeting of the food requirements and it is but natural that all precau- tions should be taken to see that tht removal of part of the restrictions i: rot taken advantage of
 1 It is thus being shown by these re iaxations of the strict control of com munications that the effects o changed conditions are being felt Gradually are the war time restric tions being abandoned and greate freedom being allowed between na tions, all of which is only indicativ of what can be anticipated before great while when the bars are le down with the signing of peace

NEW YoRk's CRIME WAVE,

New York has been suffering from a wave of crime. In spite of all that has been done by the present city admin istration to obtain what it pretends to seek, a more efficient police depart ment there have been many robberies, bank holdups and murders with very few of the guilty persons being brought to the bar of justice. Strange as it may seem these conditions have been accompanied by the discharge or demotion of some of the tried and trusted police officials without that iessening the crime committed.
 It is an interesting suggestion which is made in regard to the amount of crime when it was advo- cated by one of the city officials that there should be 8 record made of al arrests with true names and ad- dresses of the prisoners for the pur- pose of ascertaining whether they were genuine residents of the city, the inference being that if it was found that they were rot New Workers thai it would show that the responsibility did not rest upon the New. York po- lice force.
 It is usually supposed that a police force is intended to deal with al criminals and not solely those wh( happen to claim the city iE which it i' located as their home. It is hardly tt te supposed ttsat robbers and murder CTS from out of city are to be al lowed any advantages over locals, 0 that responsibility for dealing witt them is lessened by the part of tn
 country from which they come. I
 cannot be understood how any credi would accrue to New York to shoy
 that it was allowing others to do wha
 it would not permit it's citizens to en gage in. but if outsiders are really tn
 guilty ones it indicates that they ma
 have been attracted there by the con
 ditions which they know te exist I is strange idea that a police force i
 expected to give efficient service onl
 when honle criminals are concerned.

THE DE5S CASE.

Eugene V. Dehs has apparently rec cgnized the folly of the course he threatened to pursue in1 case the SUI. preme court decided against him. If he thought he could influence the court by his threat of defiance. or if he Carried the idea that the department sf justice would hasten to get him a pardon in order to prevent hilre from carving out his plan, he must have Been forced to change his mind rather quickly, for he has secured neither and has been committed to a federal pris- on for ten years for violation of the Gspionage act.
 : It is not d new experience for Debs fr he has done time before, but from gle explanation to him of his duties By the warcen of the prison and the attitude which he manifested it is evi- cent that he has undergone g. decided change in regard to his defiance ot Pw and order. He is of course fol owing the wise course. He has appar- ently been getting good counsel fo, there can be no question but what much depends upon himself as tc whether he will be forced to serve hi, entire sentence.
 There will be no surprise if a strong effort is made to secure executive cle. raenGv in his behalf. The real sur. prise would come if nothing of thu kind should be attempted sooner O later. Yet such could hardly have beer expected while he was threatening t, arouse the country in his behalf ,.aA ter he had had full and fair tr& been convicted and sentenced for ex rounding dangerous doctrines at time when the country was engages in war and after laws dealing witt that very thing had been adopted Even though te may not serve cut hi entire term the moral effect of hi conviction will not be lost, It shouI have 2 beneficial effect upon other who are inclined to defy the laws ( the nation.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

It is useless to delay it any longer, one might just as well get right down to early garden activity For good and sufficient reasons in creased interest is being taken in fly time this year. but the aviators find it rather difficult to fix.
 The man on the corner says: It only | makes one the more uneasy to give way to thoughts of what things used 60 cost in the good old days It is all right for Germany to claim that it will appeal to the world if the | terms are too strong, but what use
 has the world got for Germany? i One might infer from the way that i ;t is acting that April is not in sym
 patny with the preparations that arg oelng made to fly across the Atlantic l The telephone strike, if it lasts, will
 put bad crimp in the plans of those throughout New England who ars
 planning to do their soliciting by wire
 If it wasn't for the frequent Apri showers there would be many more idle days for the umbrellas, and mucf
 less business for the automobile wash CTS.
 There are many reasons for feeling
 that the coming Victory loan has beel made more attractive than was antici
 pated, all of which should tell in tn, results.
 Of course the Germans will under
 stand that there is a decided differ
 ence between triumphantly enterin;
 Paris and being directed to appear a
 Versailles.
 The regretabIe thing in connectio, with the hanging of Kenal Bey wa that it hadn't taken place before S many Armenians had been cruell treated and murdered. Even where they are out on a strike there will be those telephone subscrib CTS who will feel that they are gettin just about as !nuch attention from tn operators now as they ever did From the way in which the wage are being boosted on the railways an : in the express systein, the experience understand that jump in the rate can be expected moss any time. 3 Somehow or other less interest is be ing shown in attempting the first figf } across the Pacific than there is in th } Atlantic flight. but there's no questio but what the Pacific will be ope , whenever the spirit moves,

LETTERS TO'THE EDITOR
Girls Should Take. Warning.

MT. Editor: Judging from news item in last Saturdays Bulletin, the automobile sharks are beginning their villainous work right early this season. It is about time the fathers as well as the mothers looked after the welfare of their daughters. E.
 There are bold fellows some ot whom appear to be gentlemen. who offer unsuspecting girls and adventure seeking girls auto rides out into the country. Needless to say, the one mo- tive of these rascais is to seek their own vile pleasure in the ruin of these girls, who are thinking only of the fun of an auto ride. Some of these brutes are bold enough to stop their autos in drive ways, some in lonely places where their actions arouse the suspicion of passersby. People living near the roads are often disturbed evenings and | awakened nights by cries of distress and for help from girls in autos. We | lie awake studying the problem. Some girls, like those found on the Franklin 1 road, are fortunate enough to escape the vile purpose of their automobile 1 companions. but we know of cases where this was not so.
 l Is it not time that parents became acquainted with the pastinles of their i them of the grave dangers of these pleasure trips? Do ministers, teachers and friends use all the influence they might to warn the girls? They must l be taught not to play with fire if ii looks ever so inviting, lest they be | burned, as was the case last summer in once instance, when girl was overheard to tell her companion that ''her mother would kill her. but tc her horror she found herself in the beasts power out in the country and helpless Occasionally some awful crime brings this state of affairs to the public eye, as happened a few weeks ago in one of our city parks when ar officer came across an automobile in 6
 lonely spot and found a girl brutallJ murdered, having fought the fiend des- perately.
 Girls, take warning.

that the feeder on uncooked foods enjoys an immunity from influenza
 over those who subsist on flesh foods LOT even on a vegetarian dietary. The experience of the secretary of the Vegetarian Association is worth giving. He says: "I suppose that l come into contact with more vege- tarians and fruitarians than my
 man in London. and I can truthfully say that so far I have found those wl.o
 do not eat animal food to be singularly free from influenza. 1 Without laying down any hard and ] fast law as to whether fruitarian- i ism is better than ordinary vege- 1 tarianism for the purpose of resist ! ing influenza, I am absolutely cer- ] tain that the f1esh-eater is more likely to catch any disease that may l be epidemic than is the person who keeps his ort her blood pure on natural foods that are free from
 animal poisons.'' The London 1 Chronicle
