A Blue Outlook

The "Berliner Neueste Nachrichten"
prints an appeal, issued by convention
of the Chambers of Commerce in the Low
Rhenish, Westphalian and South West
phalian districts, held recently at Essen.
This document, with it's outburst of un-
yelled despair, is characteristic of the
general sentiment. After bewailing the
"ruthlessness" of the Allies, who, through
the clauses of the armistice referring to
the surrender of rolling stock and the
maintenance of the blockade, are "mak-
ing the restoration of German economic
life impossible in the long run," the reso-
luton declares that Germany's bank
ruptcy will inevitably react on the worlds
general welfare and "is going to have a
fatal effect on the economic life of the
Allied countries as we'll" The danger
of general unemployment and starvation
is painted in the darkest colors and the
assertion is made that "even in the days
>of our most splendid military successes
we in Germany have been too shrewd to
strive for the imposition of such crush
ing peace with victory"
As to the prospects of Socialist
regime, the appeal declares that "the
annihilation of the bourgeoisie, now in
full swing, will mean no advancement for
the working class, but the undermining
of its conditions of existence. Socializa-
ton of the industries and excessive taxa
ton of wealth mean to-day nothing but
the delivery of the national wealth into
the hands of the enemy"

Gains and Losses

In the course of the war this situation
changed rapidly. To the two millions of
tons which at the beginning of hostilities
were safe in home ports were soon added
125,0O0 tons seized in the conquered Bel
gian ports, $4,000 gained in Russia and "a
600 tons of originally German-owned ship
ping safely conveyed back from Norway.
With the entrance of Turkey into the war
the $4,000 tons in Turkish ports became
safe, even though they could not reach
home. In this way 100000 tons were re-
covered. However, of this about one-third,
100000 tons, were later lost

"HE terrible tragedy brought down
upon Germany by the insane
pride and bloodlust of her mas
ters is being realized, at last, by
the leaders of German industry and
finance in its full extent. Whether true
or not, the report that Herr Albert Bal
lin, director general of the Hamburg
American Line and creator of Germany's
merchant marine, whose death occurred
recently, had committed suicide out of
dependency over the collapse of his life's
work is noteworthy as an extreme symp-
tom Of the German state of mind.
The great fear of the German COM
mercial world is twofold and can be
summed up in two words: Indemnities
and Bolshevism. But whereas a kind
of doubtful solace is derived from the
expectation that the Allies will refrain
from running German industry alto
gether because it is their interest to keep
Germany solvent, there is nothing to
mitigate the dread of eventual prole-
tartan control. From the German capi-
talist's point of view the difference be-
tween the industrial policy of the ma
jority Socialists and that of the extreme
Radicals is merely choice between slow
and quick modes of DEATH

According to the German paper, the seiz-
ure of German shipping by Italy and
Portugal, undertaken before these countries
entered the war, was accomplished by
strength of a somewhat uncertain provi-
sion of international law which enables
neutral country to take possession, in an
emergency, of foreign shipping interned in
its ports. Such seizure, however, either
leaves the property rights of the original
owner unaffected or else must be COM
pensated for by payment of money.

THE JEWEL THEATRE
CHANGES HANDS,

On last Monday, Mr.. J. E.
Sullivan, one of the owners of
the Jewel Theatre of this city,
sold his interest in that popu-
lar picture show to Mr.. Frank
Shue. The show will be op-
Grated by Messrs. Raney &
Shue in the same building as
was previously used. Mr.. Sui
Ivan said that the only rea-
son he sold was owing to the
fact that he was leaving our
city to seek a home and posi-
ton elsewhere.
The picture contracts will be
carried out and the same class
of pictures as have been shown
in the past will continue.
iMessrs. Raney and Shue So
licit your patronage and we
predict that this popular thea
ire will rise higher under the
management of the new own
ers than it did under the old.
The Home News speaks a
good word for these gentlemen
and we can vouch for the pic
lures which will be shown as
being the very best that the
market affords. They will ap-
preciate good word from you
at any time you can conscien-
tiously give it.

There is food for thought in the fol-
lowing verses:
If you think you're beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you
don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you
can't,
It's almost cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've. lost,
For out in the world you find
Success begins with a fellows will !;
It's all in the state of mind.
Full many a race is lost
Ere ever step is run;
And many a coward fails
Ere ever his works begun.
Think big; and your deeds will

Think small, and you'll fall be-

Think that you can and you will,
It's all in the state of mind.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR
MARCH 2, 1919: "THE REPORT
OF THE SPIES"

Ot IHE SPlES.
GOLDEN TEXT: "This is the vic
tory that hath overcome the world,
even our faith" John 5:4.
Leading Questions:
How has Germany's spy system
affected our attitude toward her?
Why do races rebel today?
Why do men fear to follow where
God leads?
l. The Spy System.
The Israelites sent spies into Can
aan in order to learn the character
of the people and the condition of
the country. Spies are necessary
part of the machinery of war. There
lis another system, like that used by
Germany in the time of peace,
which is used to create sentiments
of hatred toward others and to in
jure their life. The world has been
amazed at the espionage practiced
by Germany toward nations for
which she made great proteStations
of friendship. 1t is for Christian
men and women 10 determine how
the spy system can be cured. This
is one business before the Peace
Conference.
ii. The Rebellion of the Peoples.
When hardship befell them, the
people of Israel mumured against
Moses and Aaron. They said they
would rather have died in Egypt
than i'm the wilderness. They pro-
posed to depose Moses, elect new
captain and return to their old land
of bondage. Joseph and Caleb be-
sought the people not TO rebel
against God nor to fear the people
in Canaan. The peoples answer
was an argument of stones!
We are compelled to look thought
fully today at the intricate probiemA
in Europe. Many small nations have
rebelled against the yoke under
which they have suffered for many
generations. History shows that
big nations have often acted like
bullics and have compelled little ma
tions to do their will. We hope this
war has made possible new day.
We feel that little nations ought to
have the right to determine their
own government and an opportunity
to work out their own salvation
This. is one of the great Christian
principles for which our President
contends and for which Americ;
should be proud to stand.
III. COwardice.
Every man has a pet fear. Some
folks are afraid of mice, others O
the dark, others of a slight illness
and many are afraid of themselves
II looked easier to the children o
Israel to run away than to take Can
aan. One of the Congregations
ministers went incOgnito to work il
a mill. He had dangerous tasl
in, caring for a belt. He offered t
teach his work to Greek, but tn
3 latter refused in the face of a con
siderable increase in his salary be
t cause he was afraid of the jobl Fea
r would have kept the Israelites on
0 of Canaan if they had not been con-
PEELED by the courage of Caleb an
t Joshua. Too many people today AZ
: afraid of undertaking some big tas
e for Christ either inftheir own live
or in their church. 1t is always saf

d approves and backs. Very much dt
