BILL GERMANY MUST PAY
FINED AT S25, 1000. 000, 900

If the dispatches from Paris are
correct, the indemnity which Germany
will be required to pay will be at least
100000, 100000 marks in gold or its
equivalent. This is, roughly, twenty
five billion dollars.
1t is explained that this may not
be the complete bill, but only the min,
imum. Outside of it, Germany will
still be called upon to pay for any new
damages, and for keeping Allied
troops in Germany while payment is
being made.
The sum looks huge compared with
five billion francs, or one billion dol
lars, which Germany compelled France
to pay in 1871. But the cases are diff
ferent. That was very short wal
and Germany had suffered practically
no damage. This has been a long
war and terribly destructive to the
victor nations, especially France ant
Belgium. 1t has left German terri
tory practically unframed.
The bill represents only actual dam
age wantonly inflicted by Germany in
its unprovoked attack on it's neigh.
bors. No extra damages by way OF
punishment are put in. Nor do the
Allies ask Germany to pay the stag.
gering expenses which the Allies had
to incur to resist German aggression
So, on the whole, the figure appears
very moderate. 1t had to be made
moderate, because of the hopelessness
of any attempt to extract from bank
rupt Germany more than percentage
OF the sums she ought in justice to
pay.
The terms, too, are easier than
Germany had any right to expect
Twenty per cent is to be paid within
two years, 40 per cent spread over a
period of 30 years, ending in 1851, and
the other 40 per cent shall be paid as
a future commission shall decide.

FEDERAL LAND BANKS
HAVE PROVED A SUCCESS

In the excitement of war the work
of the Federal Land Banks has been
almost overlooked by the public.
These banks, practically owned by
the Government, lend money to farm
ers. For security they take mortgage
es on the farms up to so per cent OF
the value of the farm.
The mortgages and interest rate
are SO arranged that the loan pays
itself out of the interest in about 43
years. A young man, therefore, can
buy a farm, half on credit, and know
that in his old age he will have the
farm free and clear if he keeps the
interest paid, even if he is not able
to make any payments on the prin-
cipal. He may make payments on the
principal if he can, and so get out Of
debt sooner.
In March, nearly $16,0O0,0O0 was
lent to 1880 farmers on this plan. Up
to April /, $685. 100000 had been lent
to 79,949 farmers.
The organization of these banks,
shortly before the great war, was one
of the best things the Government
has ever done to help the people. The
principle is sound. The Government
makes but moderate investment in
order to get the business started, and
tie loans arc perfectly secured. Funds
for expanding the business are pro-
vided by selling bonds to the public,
the bonds being secured by the mort
cages. This provides safe and con-
venient way for putting the city
mans surplus at the disposal of the
farmer, to their common advantage.

THE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD"

Geneva, selected as the headquar-
tcrs of the League of Nations, is one
of the most beautiful and interesting
cities in the world, and one of the old
est. 1t was a town well known to the
ancient Romans as early as the first
century B. c., and must be consider
ably more than 1000 years old. Its
situation at the southwestern end of
the Lake of Geneva is beautiful. The
city lies on both sides of the Rhone
where that river energies from the
Lake. The architecture is very in
teresting, but some of the best ex-
amples of ancient building art are
marred by unsuitable modern addi-
tions. Napoleon annexed Geneva to
France in 1898, and it was not until
his downfall in 1915 that it entered
the Swiss confederation. The popula-
ton is about 100000

WASHINGTON

Taylor Holmes, who, as a screen
comedian, has made thousands laugh
on the legitimate stage in his Broad
way successes, THE Third Party"
Bunker Bean" and many other come
dies, proved that he was game as well
as an actor during the production Of
his latest Triangle picture, "A Regular
Fellow" which is now being shown
at the Washington Theatre.
One of the scenes depicts the hero's
attempts to board vessel upon which
he must embark. despite the fact that
shortly before he had been robbed Of
all his cash.
Now Holmes had been requested to
appear at his best on the morning
when this scene was shot, and there
he stood-shaved and bathed, spick
and span. Perhaps he never felt more
comfortable in his life than he did at
that moment when Director Cabanne
ordered him to get aboard the ship i'm
mediately-via the coal-heaver. But
he didn't lose a moments time in
jumping down the coal chute, though
1t was necessary for him to bask and
bake in bunker for a few minutes
that seemed hours, until his assistants
could come to his rescue.
Later in the production Holmes was
called upon to escape from a husky
seaman by jumping overheard, making
his escape through a portfolio. It was
then that he displayed his versatility
and ability as meritorious swimmer,
for in the turbulent waters Of the bay
he managed to make a long swim to
shore despite the handicap of his fash
ionably tailored morning clothes, gray
spats and patent-leather ties.

that he is fugitive from justice.
Brandt learns that Steve has gone to
Fort Scott and he telegraphs the facts
to the commandant Of the fort with
the request that Steve be arrested.
Steve escapes and with the aid of
Elso runs down the spies, destroys the

pardoned. He and Elsa then plight
their troth. The support is excellent,
the portrayal OF Elsa by Wanda Haw-
ley being most artistic.

MURRETTE

Wlllldn D. mart, peerless pOTtTdyeE
Of strong virile Western roles, made a
distinct hit in his new Aircraft photo
play, "The Border Wireless" showing
at the Murrette theater today. The
picture, which was directed by Mr..
Hart under the supervision of Thomas
H. Ince., is intensely dramatic and of
that Hart type which is bound to at
tract widespread and favorable COM
ment.
Steve Ransom, brave Westerner,
becomes a bandit in revenge for the
death of his aged parents who die of
grief when they are deprived of their
ranch through the dishonesty of rail-
road corporation in Wyoming. He
commits several daring robberies at
railroad stations and soon is an out
law with price upon his head. He
assumes the name of Allen and goes
to Yellow Dog, near the Mexican bor-
der, where he rescues Elsa Miller, a
telegraph opera tor, from a band of
Mexican bandits who attack her as
she is delivering a message to the
Magdalena Mines.
Their love is mutual. Steve Is in
tensely patriotic and when the United
States declares war against Germany,
he decides to go to Fort Scott and en-
list. He meets Herman Brandt and
Frederick Schloss, two Hun spies,
whose headquarters are located at the
abandoned Magdalena Mines and when
Brandt makes disparaging remarks
against the United States, Steve forces
him to kiss the American flag.
Brandt causes Steve's shack to be
searched and evidence is found re-
|vealing Steve's identity and the fact
