EGOTISM TRIUMPHANT

Now" he continued, naked egotism is triumphant. But this also is deadly germ. Unless peace and justice are soon negotiated and a swift end put to this process of soul torture, the world will be- hold totally impoverished nation and physically debased people,
 Herr Abderhalden, who has been mak- ing a scientific investigation of the state of public health, declared that a study of the physical and mental condition of the German people easily explains the prevailing political, moral and economic debacle He continued
 'aThe hunger blockade inflicted mortal wounds. Up to the present approxi- mately 100000 persons, chiefly children, are dead as a result. The survivors on the average have lost 20 per cent of their weight which is equivalent to a loss of 90 per cent of their working capacity. be- cause of the continuance of the block ade after the armstice and the national system of rationing.
 "The mortality due to tuberculosis shows horrifying increase The impor- taton of fodder should be considered at once, as the stock of cattle and hogs has shrunken to the minimum and their slaughtering weight is half that of peace times. The cattle raising industry is im- periled thereby and the whole food prob lem for the future is gravely complicated as the result"

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Urges Blue Sky Law

To the Editor of The Age Herald: I want to heartily indorse the action of the legislative committee in their inves- tieation for framing blue sky law for this state.
 There can be no question or argument against placing a law of this kind in the statutes of Alabama. or any other state. The earlier this is done the people will ancially-accordingly. cor poraton operating under the blue sky laws must file with the secretary of the state or a designated official a complete statement of it's affairs, itemizing fully every detail. When this is done and the department it is before issues permit to sell stock, the people are practically protected as against concerns who are not reliable and have no responsibility. In framing this law the committee should : have one enacted that is strict in it's wording and intent, offering complete pr otection. A law of this kind will not | only protect the investing public as ! against worthless stocks, but allow them the privilege to buy good stocks from

 Although the League of Red cross so- cieties has no former utilization with the League of Nations, it is so obviously con ceived in the spirit of the league that we incorporated it's purposes in an article or the covenant. I know that both your committee and the international commit tee of the Red Cross propose an organic union as soon as the temper of the Worlu will permit.

Why Work, WhyPlan?

 Askedby DejectedH Hui,

people is capable of returning to regular working schedule. Night after night the
 great people goes to sleep without any
 hope for the future and wakes up bereft
 of all hope. 1t sees only destruction
 ahead. Why work Why plan.
 Today your poor German is told that the left bank of the Rhine is to go to France, tomorrow he is informed that Danzg is to become Polish and Posen
 and Upper Silesia are lost forever. Now
 he is made to believe that the war in- demnity is to be five hundred billion marks; the next moment it is fixed at thousand billion marks. Today he reads that Germany is to be occupied by the entente forces for 50 years and the next day it is proclaimed that the German war prisoners are to remain as entente slaves"
 Professor Abderhalden believes that the existing chaos with it's accompanying phenomena of social excesses, such as dancing and gambling, which, he says, recall the hunger catastrophes which fol- lowed the epidemics or the middle ages, is the worst conceivable soil for the prop agation of a pure democracy, which pri- marily demands consciousness of duty and an exalted spirit of sacrifice on the part of the individual for the common op0d
