THE CHILD OF MILLIONS

Strange are The ways of fate, when
"a boy famous as "a two hundred mil
lion dollar baby" is run down by an
automobile and killed. The strange
ness comes from the fact that this boy
had been most closly guarded all his
life. He was nine years old at the
time of his death. A body guard had
been with his almost up to the mo-
ment of the accident. He had doc
tors and nurses and private detectives
all about him, but in the one unguard-
ed moment he falls a victim.
By a strange coincidence, too, i.
was an automobile accident that made
this boy, Vincent Walsh Mclean, sole
heir to two great fortunes. In 1905
when automobiles were not common,
Vincon Walsh, brother of Mrs. Nc
Lean, was killed in an automobile
smash at Newport. Mrs. Mclean, then
Evelyn Walsh was in the car at the
time and sustained severe injuries.
The boy who was killed recently has
not been able to live normal boy life.
For fear of kidnappers, he has been
surrounded by guard and has been a
virtual prisoner Of wealth. He new
er knew the joy of running with the
gang" never played in the unhamper-
ed and natural way in which other
boys played. And if he had lived. he
would all his life have been an object
Of hatred and envy.

German Would Resume Business
Relations.

German mail passing through the
American censorship recently has been
made up principally of letters relat-
ing to resumption of commercial re-
lations with the United States, Great
Britain and France. Dealings in cloth
ing materials and articles of clothing
take up a predominant place in the
letters referring to business matters,
and from indications in the mail it
would sdlm that great deal of cloth
is being imported into occupied Ger
many from France and Alsace-Lor-
raine.
The head of a chemical works in
Winkel and Wiesbaden, writing to a
New York concern says that since
commercial relations between the
United States and the occupied terri
tory of Germany are about to be re-
nGwed, he desires, to order at once sew
eral hundred tons of phosphateS. He
believes he will be able to arrange for
the import permit for this shipment.
Quotations F. O. B. at Antwerp or
Rotterdam are requested, payment to
be made from credits which the firm
still has in America. In a circular
trade letter bank in Hamburg says
that in event, German vessels surren-
dered TO the allies are not returned it
would be the duty of the government
to replace the lost tonnage. The letter
sets forth also that the shipbuilding
industry is in position to turn out a
million tons of shipping within year,
and that materials, such as lead, steel
and copper are at hand in sufficient
quantities to carry out this program.
Shoemakers throughout the Ameri-
can occupied area recently have been
buying leather scraps from the Third
United States army, this leather hav-
ing been abandoned by the German ar
my after the armistice. In Coblenz
alone it is estimated more than ST.
100000 worth of leather was found
by the Americans in the various
storehouses of the Eighth German ar
my corps. According to the letters
there appears to be no shortage in
Germany of metals such as steel, iron,
zinc and tin and there are enormous
stocks of machinery OF various kinds
on hand. Lack of coal and inadequate
transportation facilities, such as
shortage of freight cars, are the de-
Gliding factors in curtailing the bust
ness and industrial activities OF The
country Mankato Free Press.

SWAT THE FLIES.

The house fly is one of the most
dangerous of human pests. 1t multi
plies by the millions and every fly
becomes spreader of dangerous dis
ease germs, says DR.. w. A. Riley, head
of the entomology division of the Min
nesota college of agriculture The on
ly thing to do, therefore, is to fight
the fly in season and out of season by
keeping the premises clean, destroy
ing breeding places, screening houses
to keep the flies out, and swatting the
flies that get inside. Community CO.
operation in fly fighting is one of the
best moves toward public health.

Doubtless much can't be talked a.
bout The troubles that wealth brings,
but they are real troubles neverthe-
less, They prevent their victims from
living normal lives and bring with
them suspicion, hatred and envy-if
not worse. On The whole, the boy who
is born with few hundred thousand
dollars in his little strong box is bet
ter off, and if he is born with nothing
at all but sturdy forbears and his own
good right arm and natural ability,
he is not to be commiserated. He will
make his way. But a boy with two
hundred millions in sight-he is in a

WHO WON THE WAR

If all goes we'll, the peace treaty
will soon be ready for signature. It
is quite to be expected and altogeth-
er 20 ba desired that no country will
find that treaty exactly to its liking.
Should any one country emerge COM
pletely satisfied l. would mean there
had not been at the conference the full
degree of mutual concession which
marks the community spirit when
funotioning wholesomely.
The more acutely dissatisfied ele-
ments will be very, very audible. They
witt give utterance at the top of their
lungs as follows:
= he war has been fought in vain"
You will hear that said SO earnestly,
and on so many sides, that it will be
worth while keeping in mind what ar
rant nonsense it is Americas chief
reason for boing to war-also Frances
chief reason and England's was self
defense 1t was to avoid capture and
nnslavement by Germania on a tout.
Il was the same purpose which ami
mates everv posse of citizens who are
out to catch maniacal burglar.
That purpose has been achieved. The
burglar-nation is in the lookup. Our
cher reason for going to war, then, has
already been rewarded.
If the posse, before it breaks up, can
readiust the affairs of the neighbor-
hood so as to discourage future bur-
glarious enterprises on the part of
any nation, so much tho better. But
don'tt let ony one kid you into think
ing for one moment that we fought
the war in vain. 1t was Germany who
did that.-Stars and Stripes.

In connection with the carrying of
the mails, the Post Office Department
has made studies which, it would seem,
will be quite helpful in advancing COM
mercial aviation generally. One of
these is 20 determine whether or not
visibility is absolutely necessary to
commercial flying. Some improve
ments in instruments has been effected
in this connection, and the interest
ing announcement is made that aero
nautical engineers are workig on de-

vice for the automatic landing of a
mechanically flown aeroplane (which
would meet the condition of absolute
invisibility that could exist only in the
mos. binding snowstorm or impene-
trable fog" The report points out
that the objection of aviators flying
with single motor planes when the de-
gree of visibility is low is The posi-
bility of the motor stopping over a
city, village, or other section which
would admit of no selection of suit

Office Department says, generally ac-
copied that, with two or more motors,
forced landings under such conditions
can be avoided. 1t seems clear thai

tant problems of this sort which, III
some degree, stand in the way of pro-
gress toward practical commercial av-
iation. Christian Science Monitor.
