EUROPE ON VERGE
OF CATASTROPHE
Germany's AbysmaI Financial
Basic Cause, Says SWed-

STOCKHOLM. Sweden, November 13.
THE year following the armistice has
brought Europe to the verge Of another
catastrophe. the basis of which is Ger
manys abysmal financial situation. and
unless every prosperous natiAn. espe-
cially America, helps central Europe
over the present crisis it will mean un-
told hardships. continued unrest and
widespread confusion" :.
This view of the worlds condition
after one year of peace was given me by
Helnler Key, LII. D.. editor-in- chief of
the Svenska Dagbladet and a man who
holds a prominent position in Sweden
as a student of international affairs.
Low Value of German Mark.
continued DR.. Key. seems to me to
hinge upon the recuperation OF trade
relations, which must remain paralyzed
while the mark is SO low that German
firms dare not trade with countries
whose exchange rates are too high. This
condition is more evident in the Scandi-
navian countries, whose main trade ar
teries lie to the south or east Ger
many cannot buy our goods while our
krone tabout q cents) is worth from IL
to IL marks, nor can the Germans sell
us their products and accept money in
payment. 1t reduces us to an exchange
of raw materials such as coal and iron
and allowing no room whatever for
trade in manufactured products.
Social and economic reforms must
depend for their success upon Ger
many's finances. If the mark again
becomes stable and If trade is re-es-
tablished. then will come a real set
tlement of the various political prob
lens. IT the mark is not stabilized
we shall see a rapid spread of COM
munism, bolshevism and other radical
ideas throughout middle Europe. with
their consequent spread westward.
One wave of this radicalism has al
ready swept across America, and 1t
depends upon your financiers whether
the next one is increased or dimin-
ished.

SERIES OF STRIKES
OCCUR IN FRANCE
Each Is More Grave Than
Preceding 0ne-Due to Rise
in Cost of Living.
BY WILLIAM f. NASH.
BY Cable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News. Copyright, 1919.

PARIS, November 1.-THE rise in the
cost of living keeps the French labor
world in a constant ferment, and strike
succeeds strike. each more grave than
the preceding one. The strikers do not
seem to realize that even if their de-,
mards are justified the very stoppage
of production involved in the strike Will
mean another rise in the cost OF the
articles they produce. Yesterday morn
ing the pressmen, lithographers and
typesetters on the Partisan daily papers
failed to return to work. They had de.
cided the evening before by vote OF
ITO to 80 to demand an increase OF 3
francs (s1) day in wages.
NJ Dupuis, SECRETARY of the General
Union of the Newspaper Directors. says
1t is impossible to concede the strikers
demands save on the one condition. and
that is that the cost of the newspapers
to the public shall be raised from to 8
sous (2-5 to 3-5 of a cent?. For the
moment he does not intend to do this.
At present, therefore. instead of fifty
daily publications Parisians can read
only one, La Presse de Paris, which
is to be printed every morning during
the strike by cooperation between the
different newspapers. In the end there
seems little doubt that the long suffer
ing public will pay for the increase in
wages

Reds Never Lower Than
Third Since Season Opened

CINCINNATI. O., June 27-This is
the sixty-fifth day since the National
League season opened.
There is just one ball club in the
circuit which has been in the first
division every day Of the 81, and that
club never has been below third
place, the Reds.
Since opening day the Reds have
held first place BY themselves on six
days, and on six other days were
tied for the league leadership
They have held a clear title to sec
ond place on 38 days, and on two
days divided that position with an
other team.
They have been in third place II
days. And that Is all there is to tell
about the positions they have occu.
pied since opening day.
New York has held the lead long.
er. but New York was down In the
second division for three days early
in the season.
Pittsburgh and Chicago have beer
bobbing back and forth between the
first and second divisions, while
Brooklyn, after enjoying high society
for quite a spell, took dive dowr

Rv A.sociated Press,

TOLEDO, O., June 27.-Less than
fifty pounds instead Of the heradeo
sixty OF seventy pounds will be the
difference in weight between Jess VIII

climb into the ring at Bayview PARK
a week from today to box Tor the
worlds heavyweight championship.
The champion weighed himself be-
fore starting his workout yesterday
and to the surprise of boxing experts
tipped the beam at 244A pounds. THIS
10 six and a quarter pounds below the
weight he made for his championship
match with Jack johnson. week
ago the champion scaled 24S pounds.
Dempsey scaled 1877 pounds yester-
day and Jimmy Deforest, trainer OF
the challenger, said today that he ex-
poets to send his charge into the ring
weighing. about that figure, while VIII
lard expects to scale between 24O and
PAS pounds. He wiz weigh nearer
the 240 pound mark. experts believe.
In the remaining seven days before
the contest, 1t is regarded as more
than likely that Willard, rather tnan
Dempsey will reduce the most. VII
lard always has been heavy water
drinker and when he goes through his
drying out process for the thirty-slx
hours preceding the match. he prob
ably will take on at least hve pounds
Dempsey, his trainers say, can hardly
be expected to lose more than pound
or two.

Suicide Rate Low In Utah
Credit Given 20 Block Teacher
System of Mormon Church

The Chicago Journal gives interest
ing statistics regarding suicides in
Utah and also an idea Of the co-opera-
tive or community system OF neigh
borly visits" to which the low rate is
claimed to be duet
I'm the matter Of suicides. Utah, IL
1915, had the lowest rate of any state
in the union, according to statistics
centage was 1877 per 100000 OF pop
ulation. Even this record was bettered
in 1916 and 1917, when the number
per 100000 population was ll.o and
10, respectively.
Credit for this low suicide rate is
given in 4 large degree TO the block
teacher" system OF the Mormon
church Utahs population is largely
Mormon and visits by these teach
ers" has been found an important fac
tor in preventing actions due TO lone
someness and lack of advisors.
In each ecclesiastical ward of the
church are both ward teachers and
relief society teachers. Blocks" ap-
proximating from six to twelve homes
within ward, are visited regularly
by these teachers, both men and wo-
men. Families are given counsel in
both religious, business and family
affairs when they desire il. In this
way, according to the authorities of
the church, those persons of morose
disposition are cheered, young mothers
are advised and numerous other mat
tiers taken up that have proved Ct
benefit to all. In the advising of young
mothers, according to church stats
tics, it is claimed that the death rate
among the young children is remark
ably low among those. who accept
counsel, the records showing that an
average of only one in 81 babies un-
der one year of age dies annually.
While the teachers" are principally
for the purpose of visiting and coun-
selling members of the church, the
help is offered to gentiles as nom
"Mormons" are usually termed in the
West, If they wish it. No one, includ-
ing church members need be visited
if they do not wish it."
