friends that she was going to travel
extensively-in Texas and Oklahoma.
When one farmer announced to
his wife that he had Just received
half a million dollars for portion
OF his farm and asked her what she
wanted most that he could buy for
her, she inquired: Cant you buy
a new handle for the ak out at the
wood pile? We've needed one for SO
long, now,
Still another widow attributed the
death OF her husband indirectly to
his sudden fortune. He was induced
by local business men to purchase a
lot and erect handsome office build
ing on 1t. The lot was purchased
and the building under construction
when he appeared on the scene one
day and asked the foreman how much
he was paying for common labor.
Three dollars per day he was told.
The wage seemed most preposterous
to him and he sought employment
without making known his identity
His wife says that his death was
due directly to a stroke received
while carrying a hod for SO. day
on his own 100000 building.

real question with respect to the from
tiers of Germany which has not been
decided Is this last and like all the
other difficult problems in Paris, that
of the sea coast of Poland has been
left TO the last, but it cannot be avoid
ed much longer and in all probability
before this article has been printed
an announcement will be made in
Paris of the new frontiers of Germany
on all Sides
that Germany Is to lose by permanent
cessfon and by the surrender of the
Rhenish regions, which is at least
temporary, upwards of $4,000 square
miles, more than 20 per cent of her
old area with population of at least
100000, more than one-seventh of
her ante-war population. But of this
population 100000 at least are Poles
and 100000 Alsatians and Lorrain-
ers who were unwilling German sub
jects. To offset this Germany. may
gain an area two-thirds as large in
old Austria with seven million of Ger
man speaking people.
The less then to Germany would not
be serious were 1t not for the fact
that the regions to be separated in
clude all the more valuable iron de-
posits and at least one of the great
coal fields and as a consequence will
result in the permanent weakening of
German industry. Germany will lose
approximately all that portion of her
iron and coal production which was in
excess of her own domestic consump-
ton and this may be a very grave
problem for the future when we come
to consider how Germany is to pay.
Compromise in Demands.
Finally if East and West Prussia are
Joined to Poland as they must be if a
logical and permanent solution of the
Polish problem is to be achieved then
Germany will find herself actually re-
duced in size despite an Austrian an
nexation and her last hope of Baltic
empire extinguished.
Such then is the present proposal in
Paris with respect of Germany. 1t
will be seen that in the main the ter
ritories which are to be subtracted
