crease of $37,0O0.00o through the

ures. They mean that the city is
facing the reconstruction period

needs. This encouraging report
comes at an opportune time. The
effect will be to increase public con-

along with their plans for the COM

face ripples that for the moment are
stirring the waters of the world of
finance and trade.

IS GERMANY BANKRUPT?
(From the Omaha Bee)
Estimates as to the bill that pr,

Estimates as to the bill that prob
ably will be presented to Germany as
liquidated war damages are mount
ing higher day by day. These will be
subject to final scaling by COM
mission. which will determine even
tually the amount to be exacted
from the Germans as reparation and
indemnity. In anticipation of this
interest centers on the ability of the
Germans to meet the demands that
will be made upon them.
DR.. Walter Rathenau. the great
est of the scientific captains of in
dustry OF the empire, says his coun-
try is bankrupt. English and French
authorities insist the capital and re-
sources of Germany are scarcely
impaired as a result of the war.
Man-power has been considerably
diminished, but may be repienished,
temporarily at least, by the employ
ment OF men from neighboring
countries whose industries were de-
liberately destroyed by the Huns.
who Systematically wrecked factor
les of all kinds wherever found, that
the empire would have market for
its wares when peace was restored.
1t has been discovered that the
German plea for food was largely
a sham, and II may be found that
the poverty now set up Is also ficti-
tious. Careful inquiry will be needed
to determine the value of DR.. Rath-
enau's assertion. He Is right as to
one thing, that 1t Is the worst caiam-
ity> that has befaiien Germany in
1000 years but this will not relieve
the Huns from the debt they owe.
Restitution and reparation will be
strictly and justly insisted upon.
Payment of the bill will require the
product of generations of Germans.
and they may outgrow their notions
of another war by the time the last
claim is settled.

A dispatch from Berlin advises us
that league for the protection of
the personal liberty and life of the
Kaiser has been formed. with Prince
Henry or Won Hindenburg as it's presi-
dent. This league will issue an appeal
to the former advisers of the exiled
Emperor to submit all possible docu-
ments to prove his innocence of bring
ing about the war. Maybe this group
of highbinders can continue to de-
ceive the world, but they will awake
some day to the fact that they have
overplayed the game and that they
constitute the finest body Of liars since
the beginning of time.

Everybody connected with the
State Legislature is working on the
theory that the session will be short
and businesslike. The word has gone
around that the legislators will. be
finished and ready to go homo in the
early spring and 1t would not be
surprising IL a date for Anal ad-
Journment would be fixed very soon
after the House and Senate set down
to business following the Inaugural
ton. The leaders with. whom the
idea originated are SO we'll pleased
with the general approval from
members and the public that they
are more than ever determined to
get the session over as soon as pos
sible. Il believe the coming Legis-
lature will break all records for
brevity," said one well-known state
offfcial to-day. who is in touch with
the situation.
Much favorable comment is ap-
pearing in the newspapers of the
state regarding the rumor that Gov
ernor Sproul does not mean to have
a military staff. The Governors staff
mas been for many a year merely
a means of permitting the Governor
to confer favor upon personal or po-
litical friends. It has no particular
duties and appears to be looked upon
with disfavor by all the upstate
newspapers that have commented
upon the matter.
The Pennsylvania Council of Ma
tional Defense. Committee of Public
Safety and many kindred organiza-
tions in the state disbanded yester-
day, after serving the Government
in its war activities at home. 1t was
said the historical commission. ap-
pointed by the council to produce q
history Of Pennsylvania, to be writ
ten by Governor Brumbaugh, will
continue it's work until all legal
matters affecting the action are set
tied. More than 10000 prominent
PennsylVanians are members of the
council. The council grew out Of
the Committee of Public Safety, with
which 1t merged when the state ap-
propriated 100000 to continue its
activities. A good part of this money
has been expended on motor trans

1t was learned yesterday that
the Philadelphia Board of Revision
of Taxes had appointed Common
Councilman Fred Schwarz Jr., of the
FoTty-fifth ward, to be real estate
assessor to succeed Select Council
man Henry J. Klos, also of the
Forty-fifth ward, who resigned.
Revision of Philadelphia's char
ter Is to be the most important sub
ject before the Legislature which
convenes for organization on next
Tuesday. according to the view of
Senator Penrose, expressed yester-
day. "I believe" he said. the vari-
Gus interests of Philadelphia will get
together in action upon a revision
of the city charter, and that will be
the big thing for the Legislature to
consider. The police and other men
of city departments should be elimi-
mated from politics. That, to my
mind, is the big Legislative program
before the Legislature at Harrisburg
this winter. The issue not only af-
fects Philadelphia, but all the state"

Representative-elect John r. X.
Scott Is headed in the right direction.
He proposes to introduce a bill for
military training in the schools of
Pennsylvania as soon as the Legisla-
ture meets. Mr.. Scott may not always
be right in his political activities. but
he is dead right on this proposition
and we wish him well. Military train
ing will do lot for the youth of
America. and now is the time to settle
the question In the right way.

W. r. Hearst is apparently not the
most popular citizen in the United
States. Many Of the prominent men
Of New York City have refused mem
bership with him on Mayor Hylan's
committee of reception to welcome re-

record during the war. Those who per-
sisted during the hostilities in a more
or less pro-German attitude are not
going to escape public scorn now
that peace has come.

SHOULD HAVE MORE PAY

YTNHE most important duty of the
school teacher of to-day is to
teach the pupil Americanism--
to instill into Its character love of
country, devotion to It's institutions
and belief in the benefits of demo-
cracy. But how is the teacher to
do this who is not convinced that
the government is treating the teach
er himself fairly?
Here we have a prime reason why
the teacher should have moro pay.
Just now he is the most poorly paid
individual In the employ of the peo-
pie. He gets less and Is required
to give more than any other public
servant. His salary has. not kept
pace with the rise in prices. but
he is importuned to stick to his job
and to render even better service
than ever. Unless the teacher Is
superhuman the outcome must be
either an advance in pay or a let
down in schoolroom results. We
can afford to economize any place
but in the foundations OF the ma
ton, which are laid by the teach
ers in the classes of boys and girls
entrusted to their care.

British Viewpoint on Matters
Affecting England and America

thought OF modifying her practices

to the old maratime policy. Never

AMERICANS ARE 1oAsTFUL.
asked Sir John Foster Fraser
whether he thought Americans boast

He admitted that he did think so.
AS Briton I am grateful for the
splendid way the best Americans have
generously recognized what Britain

cars and listened to what seemed to
be representative Americans talking
about the way their army turned the
trick and won the war when 1t SEEM

, In the conversation and let it be
known that came from England, the
first question invariably asked OF me

admiration for American soldiers

COMMON FOLK ARORE WILSON.
President Wilson is literally adored
by the common people. Ask the man

has nothing to do with statecraft or
lol6C OuSIuCSS WIldL I1C IHIuhS
Of our president, and he will answer
in tone and manner that would move
to pride almost any of the presidents
countrymen.
Mr.. Wilson has been unusually
kind and gracious in bearing on the
occasions of all his public appearances
and all his addresses have ben tactful
and of nature not disposed to arouse
antagonism. He is very much admired
by the people. At home, nothing Is
ever said about the presidents per-
sonal appearance, but over here, every
one says: "Ah, but your president is
a fine looking mani"
We must realize, however. that the
big issues are not to be settled by the
men in the street, but so far as Eng
land Is concerned, they will be ham
died by men who think as Sir John
Fraser thinks. Britain will look out
for herself; let no one doubt that for
q minute. There is no desire to Of
fend America, but British interests
must and will stand first with Britons.
