Daphne had not told Mrs. Chivvis
of her financial plight, nor OF her ia.
ther'S, nor her brothers. She had
simply let the days of payment go
past one by one. She saw chillier
glitter in Mrs. Cnivvis' eye and there
was a constant restraint upon the con.
yersation for many days.
MIR. ChivviS was at home most Of the
time now, sitting about III his ole

wife naturally talked of Daphne
Sometimes she overheard their under

send forth vision. He had an in

Montenegro Vanishes

The national assembly of Montene-
gro has. voted in favor of incorporation
into the new Jugo-Sav state Thus one
of the most picturesque and valiant of
the little kingdoms Of Europe vanishes
into the past. At that, Montenegro had
not been long a kingdom. 1t was a
principality until 1910, when Nicholas,
celebrating the fftieth anniversary of
his accession, assumed the royal title.
Montenegro, formerly part of Serbia,
never completely yielded to the Turk.
For four centuries this little mountain
people kept the Moslem invader at bav.
They were all warriors and maintained
into the twentieth century primitive
pastoral civilization little different from
that Of the Middle Ages. Turkey cs
tablished a shadowy suzerainty over
them in 1862. But this was renounced in
1876, and Montenegro's independence
was finally recognized by the Treaty of
Berlin in 1878.

No Stocks for Export

First, get rid of some misconceptions.
There are no great German stocks ready
for export. The present government will
not pay export subsidies, and the German
manufacturer does not want them. Neither
will export or other trade be much under
governmental control, and the cartel svs
tenn is not much in favor except for small
companies, which cannot afford their own
organizations The drift is entirely away
from the government going into business
and the prospects Of specialization Of indus
try are presently remote. Even in the case of
coal it is very doubtful If the act which
has been passed for the socalization Of
the mines will ever be put into effect. In
spite or tho fact that supposedly SO
cioli5tic party is in power, The trend in
Gernnny is nway from governmental IN
terference and toward lnrge individual
units. The success Of tho war manufact.
urcs under individual auspices has con

By
Special Correspondent of The Tribune Just Returned Germany
Germany To-day
By Samuel Crowther
+ The Tribune, Just Retu3'

VI THE revolution of last November had
y not broken the German morale and
h set the working people to discovering
some method by which they could live
without work, German industry would have
finished the war in stronger condition than
when it started. Barring the human elc
ment, which is not really 50 serious the
surface indicates and which l shall take up
in another article, German industry to-
day has little in the way of reconstruc
ton to undertake, and if it had the raw
materials it would be going ahead with
capacity greater than it had before the
war. The plants are there and ready to
20 ahead, once new belts and lubricating
oils arrive. The Transformation from a
war to n peace basis Is not serious, because
comparatively few peace establishments
went on to II war basis, excepting for such
articles as were suited to their existing
machinery and without change
In SO far as bricks and mortar and ma
chincry arc concerned, German industry is
ready to function. 1t is bothered by heso
points:

We did not condemn her for fighting
for Italian Irredcnta while she fought
for general civilization. We euogized
Garibaldi. We cheered her on to destroy
the last vestiges of Teutonic conquest, to
complete the expulsion for which she had
longed for 1900 years and for which
countless wars had been waged. Suaban,
Hohenstauffen, Hapsburg-t words
have meanings to an Italian that not all
Americans understand.
The Italians, within their ancient bor-
ders, wished to live free and united
family. To tell them now, a people who
more than any in Europe have been the
victim of violations of the principle of
self determination, that they are impe-
rlalistic seems strange thing to them.

One Kind Of Snob

A man standing in front of the
Tribune bulletin board yesterday passed
this comment on the picture of "Psyche"
there displayed from the Sunday supple
ment: Il always wanted to have copy
of that picture in the house. But, Of
course, now that everybody's going to
have it, it's spoiled
not uncommon notion, either. The
instructive desire for something rare and
exclusive is as widespread as human
nature. OF such is the great democracy
OF snobs to which everybody belongs.
The artistic snob is simply one of many,
per laps little commoner in America
than in Europe, but to be found every
where and own brother to all the other
breeds Of snobs
Yet we think most Of US recognize
this instinct for what it Is and give it
just as little sway as we humanity can. 1t
IS mean and an unpleasant and n hate
ful trait wherever it crops out. Imagine
wanting to lock beauty up for ones own
private pleasure and being annoyed at
having to share it-annoyed to the ex.
tent of not thinking it beautiful any
longer! OF course, there is such a thing
as hearing tune too often-or seeing
picture too often. But that is a diff
ferent matter. 1t does not fatigue ones
own retina or ear drums to have thou
sand or million other retinas and ear
drums seeing and hearing at the same
time.
AS matter of fact, true art is the
most democratic thing in the world. It
exists wholly apart from classes or
masses or any affectation or snobbery
In a truly musical country, for instance
like Italy, every one sings. Music is as
free and pervasivc as sunshine. Ameri-
cans can observe and learn.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-26
The Only Obstacles

!. The lack Of raw MATERIALS especially
leather, oil, cotton Nickel copper and
aluminium.
2. The lack Of internal transport by rca-
son Of the taking over OF so many locomo-
tvcs by the Allies and the lack of ships
for export trade.
3. The fear that many of the worlds
markets will be closed to German goods:
they are not afraid of decreased sales on a
sentimental basis, for none Of them know
how the outside world regards Germany.
4. The finance of exports and imports on
the decreased value of the mark; but
krupp's and several other companies have
already arranged chat their sales abroad
should be in the foreign currency The
finance of wages without production Is
bothering the bankers for the smaller con-
Germs, but the big companies have such
large reserves that they are prepared, even
for large capital tax.
The condition of German industry as p
whole is much better than that of England,
and is as good if not better than that OF
the United States. They have less to un-
learn, and they are not agitating them
selves with any great departures from old
theories of production. Where the war has
upset the business intellect of so many
countries and has permitted the iconoclast
to have an inning or two, Germany has in its
unlmaglnatlve way stuck close to its mur-
tons and has always borne in mind that
there would be day after the war. And
before examining the particular industries
l shall try to sketch how it as a whole
met the war and what general changes
have taken place.
