TIME scheme which 1 am about to
set forth has been submitted
by me to well-known fnanciers
and men of affairs. I consulted
them separately and they all agreed,
after ample reflection, that the scheme
would solve the problem Of reparation
as far as it could be eolved and could
be put into practical application by the
Allies in concert.
In order to demonstrate the practi-
cal character of the scheme, which is
the logical outcome of my preceding
articles, / will make use of approx
mate figures, figures which do not pre-
tend to be vigorously exact, but are GER
tainly we'll within the bounds of reality
The German population in Central
Europe before the war was, in round
numbers 70 100000. Considering that
before the war the German people were
enjoying bonanza days, that is to say,
that their annual profits were much
more than s2,000,000,O00, that during
the war they were able to subscribe
more than $4,000, 100000 to 1.-THE Ger
man war loans and that after the war
they will not be compelled to carry any
longer the burden Of a great army and
navy, it is evident that the German peo-
MIC 10 i
group for the purpose of indemnities in
the neighborhood Of $2,000,000,000.
1t is easy to demonstrate this.
The $300,000,000 outlay for the
support Of the army and navy will be
eliminated
The German government owes
$1,000 100000 interest annually to
the war loan subscribers AS the Ger
man capitalists furnished the German
government the means Of aggression,
it is only just that the interest they
expected to receive on their loans
should go to repair the damages they
helped to cause 30 the Allies.
There remains 800, 100000 to be
raised by special taxes or imposts on
the profits Of business in Germany
Consequently the figure Of $1,000
100000 annual indemnity from Ger
many is both possible and relatively
eaey to raise. 1t IN quite possible, even

--------- So, 600, 900 900
There is no insurmountable obstacle
confronting the execution of this plan
1t can be said that France cannot
make an internal loan of $4,000, 900, 900
every year. To this objection, which
covers all the others, there are several
incontrovertible replies.
First, it would be much easier to Dor
row $4,000, 100000 year on guaran-
teed loan, bearing interest, than to col
lect the same sum in taxes, since the
hugeness of the taxation would kill all
French economic activity.
Second, if France could not supply the
money, in all or in part, the United
States could very easily. The American
financiers and the public would, without
doubt, gladly subscribe for French
loan with such exceptional guarantees,
having behind it not only French good
faith, but the German annuities. The
loan would vary between $1,0OO,000 900
and $4,000, 100000, which, in country

BEST" was the answer of COB about the
girls. He had just won a handkerchief
from an American visitor, and she had just
gone, and whether or not this COB told
similar tale in other ports, he had at least
added one more trinket to his store of heart
throbs, and he laid it away carefully in his
ditty box, which is even n more sacred
place than the old sea bag. because the con-
tents of the bag have to be laia out for in
spection every Saturday morning, and there
are some dainty things that do not belong
to an outfit containing salt water soap. shoe
polish and rubber boots

The "Limey' Who
Liked american Slang

In the petty officers room on the same
ship they tell of British petty officer who
was sent to instruct the gobs in the English
flag signals. He fell in love with American
slang, and every time COB would blurt out
his native lingo the Britisher would write it
in little book. After while a lieutenant
commander who is known for his gruff,
rough speech spoke to the British in
structor: "Say, these guys have been bum
ming long enough. Sort out the nuts and
the dubs from the regular gang and send
'em adrift-chuck 'em out" What the
"Limey" did was to weed out the slang
from the English in the officers speech,
write it down in his little book and then
proceed to his work of separating the
buns from the regular guys
"You know, that bird would all of a sud-
den break out with the funniest line" one
of his American shipmates said "Ie would
say, oh, you're regular nut, eh, kid and
then he'd laugh and think of some more
of it,"
The same naval officer was "bawling out"
a young reserve ensign for some mistakes.
He concluded with the following: "And
listen here, young fellow. If ever you are
arrested on shore and charged with being
a naval officer, you can plead mot guilty

Guarantees for Payment
OF the Indemnitu

Encircled as they are by Allied troops,
the Germans will sign any guarantees
required for the annual payments of the
indemnity. But it is certain that these
guarantees will have no value if they
depend on the good faith of the Ger
mans. They will only pay regularly
and over long period if they are COM
PEELED to. There is no use having any
illusions in regard to this, and as the
problem of PREPARATIONS must be solved
by payments extending over a long
period, the Allies must take the neces-
sary precautions.
If regular payment of the indemnify
is to be assured, relatively small num-
Der of inter-Allied troops (they could be
furnished by the League of Nations, if
this is formed) must be left in Ger
many to occupy few we'll chosen points
after the complete disarmament of Ger
many. Practically, the mere presence
of these troops would assure regular
payments by Germany, just as the es-
istence of courts and police makes many
small debtors every day pay their debts,
when they certainly would not if the eyi-
dence of force ready to be used was not
before their eyes.
Conclusion
We have, therefore, scheme COM
posed of three elements:
IA German indemnity, payable in
annual instruments, not too large but
lasting over sufficient number of years.
2.-lnter-Allied loans, guaranteed by
the Germany indemnity, and to be paid
from sinking fund proportional to the
duration of the German indemnity pay
ments.
3.-The presence of Allied troops Tor
those of the League of Nationsl in \
number of carefully chosen places in
Germany
This scheme solves the problem OF
separations due from the German PEG
pie, even in its most extended form,
without fear of running Germany, and
at the same time remains strictly within
the limits of the application of the rulc
OF law, which says. IAN damage done 70
another places on it's author the oollga-
ton Of integral reparation."

then there's real sailor. the
American COB.
He is the clear-eyed. democratic young
man who combines the ancient art of naviga-
ton with the science of modern warfare
and still breathes into his soul the spirit of
young romance. This COB is philosopher
and poet, for he would just as lief cross
the Atlantic IN a. sawed off, oil soaked
submarine chaser as a twelve-knot, upho-
stored superdreadnought; and his leisure
hours are dedicated TO the collection of
pretty silk handkerchiefs and fragrant per-
fumes from many lands, and his sea bag
bulges with the sentimental souvenirs such
as the brave win from the fair.
After more than year and half of
gruelling, active service in foreign war,
on foreign sea, the nation has seen these
fighting sailors bring home an undefeated
feet. and while the ships now lie at anchor
in the Hudson, New York is privileged to
entertain these fun-loving gobs and to OBJ
serve them at work and play.

ow to Make Germany Pay the Greatest Bill on Earth

$4,000, 100000 annually will seem very
moderate. 1t will not destroy the Ger
man people, but will leave them large
PROPORTION of the profits from their
work, and that is a condition psychology
cally necessary in order to keep up in
them an interest in their work, so that
the Allies can continue to receive the
indemnity and the damage done to the
Allies can be repaired.
Time an
Important Factor
But if it should be necessary to fix
on a different sum for the annual in
demnity, it must be distributed over q
sufficiently long period to make pos
sible the financial combinations by
which an integral reparation of the dam
ages can be effected, for the factor of
time is an important one
If Germany pays an annual indem-
nifty Of $2,000,000,000 for sixty years
the total will be s120,000,O 200, the
sum estimated by Lloyd George for the

have been spread over sufficiently long
time so that the German people will
not have sunk under the weight The
method proposed is the one in common
daily use by financiers who want to help
their debtors to reestablish themselves
by paying their debts in instruments, be-
cause if they were forced to pay too
much at one time the debtor would be
forced into bankruptcy and the greater
part of the principal sum would be lost.
On the other hand, it is no more than
just and reasonable that the German
people should have to bear during sixty
vars the consequences Of their unpar-
donable and ferocious aggression.
for war for fifty years. 1t is natural
equitable and necessary example that
they be compelled to carry the burden
OF defeat for period approximately the
same as that Of their reconciliation.
AS for saying that to keep them under
the weight Of an indemnity for such
long time will arouse their hatred and
cause them to make new war the an
swcr ~ this: AS long as they have to
pay an annual indemnity of $4,000, O00,-
