Thought Doctor Brought Baby.

A new family had moved into the
neighborhood. The days were ideal
for the six-weeks-old baby to spend
its sleeping time on. the cool front
porch, ard the mother took its bas-
ket out there, took necessary precau-
tons and went back into the house. 1t
was not long before the little girls In
the neighborhood spied the little bun
die Of humanity in its basket. But
none of them had seen the mother put
1t out there. So n Of them went
home and said to her mother:
Mother, mother. l think the doctor
has brought a new baby to that house
over there and left 1t on the front
perch, and I don't think they know IL
has come"

Planting of Trees Dedicated to Sol

by Secretary Houston.

NAtion-wide observance Of Arbor
day through the planting Of trees
dedicated to soldiers. who died during
the var is urged by Secretary Hous-
ton In = letter to governors Of the
states- He asserted he could not con-
ceive q better way to keep alive the
memory Of those who had fallen.
Now that the great war has come
to its conclusion" Mr.. Houston said
in his letter. I'VE shall seek many
ways to perpetuate the. memory of
those who made the great sacrifice. 1t
has been happily suggested that we
do this by adorning with young trees,
each named for a fallen soldier, our
waysides, our yards and our pleasure
places. This can be done on Arbor
day, which is now at hand in most of
our states. Such an observance Of the
day will give it meaning more pro-

it ever had before"

HABITS

There are habits good and habits bad.
AND habits merry and habits sad,
AS general rule they are easy to
make
And once we've made them they're
hard to break,
But every one of US makes few
Because it's a natural thing to do;
Some of us grumble too much at care.
But the world would brighten as
ne'er before
If wedsget the habit Of smiling more.
What a glorious earth this would
II we lit a light for all men to see!
Suppose we made it a rule, each day,
A word of comfort and cheer to say
To the troubled men that we chance
AS we walk the crowded and busy
street,:
wouldn't our circle of true friends
grow,
And our griefs depart like the melt
What a glorious vein of joy we'd
If wed get the habit of being kind.
There are habits bad and habits good,
But this is true if we understood
AS the vicious ones that we often
make.
We could comfort the weary and sick
and sore,
If we get the habit Of smiling more.
And leave full many friend behind,
If we had the habit of being kind.
Oh, we could tighten the worlds dis
tress.
If we'd get the habit of helpfulness

Many Of the delegations were ac-

The delegates sat at large green

it was announced that no serious diff

veloped and that the discussion was
proceeding satisfactorily.

PARIS, March 20.-President Will
son, NJ. Clemenceau and David Lloyd
George conferred at the residence of
Mr.. Lloyd George today, the session
lasting from 3 o'clock in the after
noon until late in the evening, seek
ing to adjust differences.
The differences constitute some Of
the larger questions pending now
reparations for war losses and the
Franco-German frontier. The chief
issue Of the question of reparations
is not what Germany should pay. but
what she can pay. The commissions
which have studied the subject have
gradually reduced the claims to a
total of about $4,000. 900, 900. One
proposal was to spread the payment
over forty years. On this basis the
principal, with interest. would amount
to SS0.000,008,00O at the end of the
period.
Americans View.
Against this proposal the commits
sion has estimated all the available
wealth and resources of Germany at
home and abroad The American
view as to these estimates that $12,-
900, 100000 is the utmost that can be
expected. This twelve billions is
made up, roughly. as follows:
German resources outside Of that
bi1lions-represente
in merchant ships, railways and mines
in Alsace-Lorraine, coal and iron de-
posits in the Sarre valley, foreign So
curities and government property IN
former German colonies. Seven bill
lions Of this property, tho commission
estimates, belongs to private German
citizens and the remainder is owned
by the government. OF private re-
sources Germany has property valued
at $1,000, 100000 in South America,
three quarters Of a billion in the
United States and three billions in
other countries
Evening star., 1919-03-21
Curbing Of Industry.

The French delegates hold that
German industry should be curbed by
checking exports and imports. The
American and British views tend to-
ward permitting Germany to resume
industrial activity in order to pay the
balance Of the $4,000. 100000 debt to
the allies and associated powers. The
commissions experts estimate the
exports and imports would yield
balance of about $300,000.000 annual
ly, or approximately a billion dollars
every three years.
On this basis the balance Of the
debt could be extinguished in twelve
years and the entire operation con-
cluded. This view. it is said, is far
from meeting with general accept
ance. The French, and to some ex-
tent the British, are inclined to ask
much heavier reparation. spread over
a much longer period.

Divide Over Allotment.

Serious division of opinion also ex-
lists over the allotment Of damages
French claim priority for the de-
struction of invaded regions. while
the British insist on an allotment on
the basis Of war costs.
1t is generally conceded that France
has suffered the largest material loss,
while Great Britain has imposed the
largest burden of taxation on her
people.
