Attitude of America.

In those articles / had attempted to
show the attitude of America and Of
her foremost representative toward
those large problems of the war and
to explain impartially German hopes
and German actions to those foreign
nations not entirely bereft of reason
and good will.
In one OF those articles ('Tf I Were
Wilson") / made the proposition to
convert all the loan bonds Of the
states OF Europe engaged in war into
international currency, to be guaran-
teed by all the debtors and to be ac-
cepted In all the countries belonging
- the league of nations by every
creditor, at every cashiers window
at their face value.
also proposed that international
currency was to be kept in circula-
tion until such a time when nations,
decimated by the war, should have re-
cupera ed sufficiently to redeem their
bonds by issuing metal or paper in
their place. OF by paying for them in
goods.
Lacked Technical Formula

tanned only the germ of an idea Not

lack the precise technical formula
which might have carried 1t to life.
In Denmark theorist took up the
plan. He wrote me how it could be
put into execution. Practical men re-
mained cool and said Wonderful, but
impossible, We are sorry to say"
And now, almost four years later,
/ rediscover it on the program of the
London famine council. Point four
of the councils program declares for
an international loan to be guaran-
teed by the league of nations.
And Banker Max N. warburg, Of
Hamburg, a brother of the we'll
known partner of the great firm Of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co, in a letter ad-
dressed to the president of the famine
council, said:
The loan, which would regulate
all the debts incurred, should every
where be free from taxation; should
have a fixed value in every country;

RAW MILK AND CREAM

Boiled milk is much easier
digested by babies than raw milk
and also easier than pasteurized
milk and most of the digestive
troubles Of bottle-fed children are
due to antiquated ideas regard
ing the alleged value of raw
milk.
Milk labeled "pasteurized" may
not be properly" paSteuriZed.
Washington has no laws requir-
ing or controlling the pasteuriza-
tion OF its milk.
To protect children. invalids and
those who are in rundown con-
dition against milk infections, raw
milk and cream should be avoided.
Many outbreaks Of typhoid, scar
let fever, diphtheria, septic sore
throat. etc, have been caused by
raw milk. even by the special or
certified kind.
Properly pasteurized milk and
cream, carefully cooled and bot
tied, is the only kind adults or
older children should drink. II
this cannot be obtained get good
raw milk and scald it.
It has recently been established
that Creamy Mix Powder. dis
solved in boiled water, agrees with
babies and causes them to thrive,
when they cannot digest any
other food.
The Health Officer of the Dis
trict of Columbia will give you
the sanitary rating of your local
milk supply at any time you
should apply for it.

WIDOW OF BROWN

some assistance in solving the mys-
terry was the belief Of authorities.
This maL is said to have objected
strenuously to the friendship of Mrs.
Bennett and Brown.
Widow Attends Funeral.
Hundreds crowded about the big
plate glass windows of the under
takers chapel here yesterday after
noon during the brief funeral services
for Brown.
Mrs. Brown, accompanied by Percy
Brown. brother of the dead mai, and
deputy. walked sobbing into the
parlor with a handkerchief to her
face.
She looked across the room at the
body of her husband and stepped to
the casket, hesitating a moment, then
bent in a final caress. She staggered
backward and seemed on the verge of
collapse.
Twice she called her husbands
name, crying.
DR.. John A. Lenfesty. who conduct
ed the post-mortem, today opened
the way for another theory when he
expressed the belief that Brown had
been shot by a left-handed man.
The doctor said that the automatic
pistol must have been held above and
to the left of Browns head. The first
bullet, which was fatal, entered just
above the ear. The dropping Of the
head caused the next two to enter the
same spot, while the fourth entered
the neck.
Pistol Held Close.
If the car had been brought to a stop
before the shooting and some one had
got out of it or another car, the pos
sibility Of the shooting from the out
side by a right-handed man appears.
Against this theory, however, DR..
Lenfesty says must be considered the
fact that the slayer's pistol was less
than six inches from Browns head
when the first bullet was fired, and
the slayer must have been in a posi-
ton to shoot downward.
Mrs. Bennett is being held incom-
municado pending arrival of officers
from here.
Mrs. Bennett, It developed, was the
woman the police have heretofore re
ferred to as Dolly" 1t WAS she
that Brown went to Detroit to SEE
and who the police say was to have
Cone to Chicago with Brown the day
his body, riddled with bullets and
head crushed, was found in his auto
mobile in a lonely spot on the out
skirts of this city.

loans as to payment of interest;
should thus become equivalent to
money and should be accepted in pay
ment of raw materials and food"
DepIores Any Delay.
Mr. Warburg says delay would be
fatal, and he is right. All should
make up their minds and do it quickly.
He adds, however, the solution of
the worlds financial problem could
not be attempted without first Great
ing a more favorable atmosphere by
changing the treaty of Versailles. In
this disagree with him.
The present would be an evil hour
TO ask for charity.
The misery prevailing in Germany
is monstrous. And in German Austria
it is stiu worse. It is worse, far
worse than visitors living in first-
class hotels, dining in fashionable res
taurants. and entertained by the
cream of society will ever be able to
grasp.
For twelve days recently not a pas
sengcr train moved in ali Germany,
and there will be more Of these
blockades soon to come. We have a
coal famine now, ere winter has ar
rived, and we feel its terrible grip at
home and in the workshop.
Labor Is Savior.
No one knows how the German peo-
pie can possibly survive this coming
winter without food and clothing.
Labor alone is our savior; not a
miracle from the outside world. 'Tis
well said and true. But our first re-
quirement is to furnish work to those
willing to labor
Thank God, the will to- work is

Tin my opinion the sugar situation
constitutes a gigantic conspiracy to
mulct the American public. Even
during the war shortage we were able
to get sugar at IL cents a pound,
Now, a year after the war, there Is
little to be obtained except by those
who submit to the gouging.
"It is very strange there should
be such q tremendous scarcity at II

quantities at gS and 23 cents q pound.
Mr.. Garvin wrote q letter to Fed

which h. told Of the boarded sugar.
He wrote:
while investigating the increased
cost OF sugar ! have learned from
men conducting chain stores in this
county that telephone messages from
