Germans Reply to Trade
Letters of Before the War

Treves, May 16.-To illustrate the
German attitude toward the war as
a mere artificial interruption of trade
relations the following incident is
cited by the chief American censor.
"A German firm in the American
occupied area writes to a firm in
New York, enclosing the New York
firms letter of June 6, 1914, and be-
gan in this manner-'In reply to
yours of June 6, 1914, beg to state,
etc."
At the American censor's Office
here, where all mail from the oc-
cupied zone is passed upon before
being sent on its way to the Entente
countries, an average of two thou
sand letters a day written by Ger
mans have been received. with in
dications of a gradual increase dur
ing the next few weeks.

2TjRkI PLAN TO
CROSS ATLANTIC
British Will Probably Start
Dirigible in Day
or Two

atlantic City, N. j., May 16.-Word
kwas received at the Pan-American
Aeornautical convention here yes
terday from Washington that the
British air authorities have speeded
up their plans to send the dirigible
R-34 on dash across the Atlantic
and that it was probable the English
craft would set out in day or two.
Officials of the convention, who
had expected that facilities here for
handling the English ship would be
completed before her arrival early
next month, in accordance with
plans announced by General L. E. ..
Charlton, British attache at Wash
ington. Immediately got busy. Alan
b. Hawley, president of the Aero
Club of America, and Henry Wood
house, direcor of the Atlantic City
air port, hurried to Cape May in .
seaplane where arrangements were
made to stable" the English
.Blimp" should she arrive ahead of
the schedule previously announced
Thus, by an odd coincidence, the
nest vacated by the C-5 at Cape May
when she made her successful run
to Newfoundland may become the
ancohring place of the R-34. her
competitor for overseas honors.

DEBTS MUST BE PAID

The government debts of the world
before the war were $40, 600, 100000 To-
day the government debts are 1920, 000
900, 900 Before the war the circulating
medium OF the world was about SO, 900,
900, 900. Today it is about $50, 600, 900,
900 Money is supposed to be based on
gold and silver, but all the gold and silver
produced in the world during the last 400
years is not equal to the present amount
of paper money in circulation. A very
large percentage of this paper money has
nothing behind it except the authority of
the several governments to tax the peo-
pie. The annual interest on the govern
ment debts of the world, before the war,
was 1000, 0O0, 900. Today it is about
$40, 900, 900, 900. More than 20 per cent
of the money of the world is needed each
year to pay the interest on the worlds
public debts These debts and this inter-
est charge is a milestone on the neck of
industry. Not less than two generations
of peace must ensue before the indebted
ness of the United States can be paid. 1t
will never be paid unless government
prodioality and waste is stopped. Neither
will it ever be paid unless the industries
of the country live and thrive. Industry
is the hen which lays golden eggs for
nation as we'll as for the individual. Most
of the people of the recently belligerent
nations have settled down to work, real
work, 10 or more hours a day. They
plan to pay their debts to US in manufac-
tured goods More than a million of our
people are striking for less hours per
week and an increased weekly wage. All
students of world conditions know that
the present hours per week and the pres
ent wage scale cannot be maintained
against foreign competition Strikes
have become the servants of the socialist
and the soviet These will never repair
the waste of war, pay the debts of the
nation, nor make America great. Their
creed is reputation and confscation
Their leaders are the lazy, the dishonest
and the vicious, reaching eager hands to
grasp the reins of government. Both
capital and labor must cease to profiteer
against each other and against the public
Bolshevism must be stamped out, we
must pay our debts and do our share of
the worlds work with patriotic spirit,
or enter upon an era of national de-
cadence.

THE PRESENT ISSUE.

Civilization was challenged in the great
war. We met the issue with all our
treasure of men and money.
Orderly government is now challenged
in the United States. We must meet
this issue with all the strength of our
manhood and womanhood
The foundation of Christian society
rests on respect for mutual rights; the
performance of mutual duties; the en-
forcement of justice and the maintenance
of law and order
There is no security for life, for prop
erty, for American institutions or for the
fundamentals of Christian civilization
if mob rule supplants the orderly process
SEES of the law, if control by any class or
group supplants government of the pso-
pie, by the people, for the people. As
Americans we must believe, with Will
liam Pitt, that where law ends, tyranny
begins'
