did not lose his vision in Wall Street,

could hardly help doing So The work he
did was paying work. But he never
seemed much preoccupied with money
making. He never was too busy with the
affairs of finance to turn reporter again

very finest part Of it which we call our
own, with an open mind and a seeing
eye. He never returned empty-handed
He had always something unexpected to

AS Creditors

When the traders Of medieval davs
carried goods in their caravans across
the desert they brought other goods
back. A ship that went to a for
eign land brought back a return cargo
IN exchange Trade was simple barter.
The same merchant that sold domestic
goods bought foreign goods. Every ex-
porter was an importer, every importer
an exporter Trade was always bal
anccd. There was no need for bills Of ex
change; there were no foreign exchange
problems. When country did not have
goods enough Of it's own to give in ex-
change it made up the difference in gold.
There was no such thing as extensions
Of credit, because international trust had
not advanced that far.
Great Britain this week resumed gold
shipments to this country. 1t is the first
shipment since early in 1917. The

The Enlarging Masculine Head

Are mems heads getting bigger? The
hatters say that they are and offer
various more or less plausible reasons.
The demand for the larger sizes in hats
this season has broken all records, so
that Tie stock is already seriously de-
pleted. Nor is this local or national
phenomenon. The same story comes
from England. Here, obviously, is a
matter which should engage the atten-
ton Of deep thinkers. There must be
more in it than meets the casual eye.
Enlargement of the head as a psyche
logical development is not unfamiliar
Alcohol and vanity have alike been
credited with producing it. AS physi-
cal fact, it is something new English
manufacturers, we are told, say that it
is a result of the war But this is too
simple an explanation. The war is be-
ing held responsible for too many things.
Human nature itself has been, or is to
be, changed by these four years and
more of conflict. If that be true a quar-
ter of an inch in the circumference of
the masculine head would be the least
Of the miracle. Nor is the theory that
the enlargement comes from gunfre or
shell shock altogether convincing. Else
why should men who never went near
the front be calling for larger sizes?
More nearly convincing, perhaps, is
the theory that after one has worn
khaki cap coming we'll down over the
head, with the peak level with the eye
brow, the civilian hat of the accustomed
size seems smaller than it is. The head
itself is not larger, but the area to be

harks back to older years. Brutality
was a commonplace before the mast in
the days that Richard Henry Dana wrote
of-when California still was Mexico
and hides were the chief cargo out of the
Pacific Coast. Tloeging was no extraor-
dinary punishment, and a captain was
still despot.
There has been a steady bcttermcnt of
the sailors lot. Regulations have in
creased ratons and every comfort
in the ships of all nations. Opportunity
is made easy for a sailor to complain to
the authorities. Long before Andrew
Furuseth came life at sea the world
around had been relieved of it's gross
injustices and brutalitics.
Yet such tales as that, of the Puako
recur, and probably always will rccur.
There are limits, obvious limits, to the
practical regulation of life at sea. A
factory, a farm, prison, jail, always
are within sight Of the authorities
ashore. Tie hand Of the law always can
reach a criminal there. A ship stands
IN a wholly different lot. Once her an
chors are up and wave curls at her
forefoot, ship comes under a tyranny
that may be as benevolent as you please,
but is none the less tyranny. Only fear
of a punishment long deferred, at the
voyages end, can have any restraining
influence on a vicious captain.
Fortunately, such shippers always
have been the exception. Seafarers
have no exclusive rights to hard
ness Of heart, as any number Of shop
workers can testify. There only is, in
the case of the ship, the different status
of this floating island, necessarily, for
its own safety, under the absolute rule
of one man. Much of the supposed hard
ship at sea that the landlubbcr imagines
is in the inexperienced eye of the soft

Of military service, where, as at sea,
strict discipline and complete authority
are essential and inherent Terrible
were the hardships Of camp training to
the fox trotters and the movie fans. But
these very civilians throvc on the hard
ships and came out Of the war incom-
parably better off physically. A trip
around the Horn still would be splendid
training for any boy worth his salt.
In the search for moral equivalents for
war let not the sea, for all its supposed
hardship and occasional brutality, be for
gotten. You cannot make an omelet
without breaking eggs, and you cannot
have an equivalent for war that is wholly
soft and gentle and lanblike. Nor can
you have hardship that is not hard.

DARIs, May S1.-The German re-
sponse to the Allied terms of
peace carries with it surprise for
those who have followed German mannu-
vres in the last three weeks. In present
ing the Germans with the terms the Al
lies granted their enemies a period of
two weeks, which was subsequently ex-
tended by one week, to discuss in detail
the various provisions. 1t was not the
intention of the Allies that the Germans
should be permitted to argue as to the
justice or injustice of the terms, but
merely to discuss the machinery and
method.
The Germans, on their side have af-
fected to believe from the beginning that
they were entitled to a peace arrived at
by negotiations, that they were not de-
feated and that they were entitled to all
kinds of immunities and privileges flow
ing from their Interpretation of the four
teen points. They had assumed from the
beginning to talk in the tone of injured
innocence, and to appeal to precisely those
principles which they violated during their
days of prosperity.
The answer which the Germans have
now made is both defiance and appeal to
those elements in Allied countries which
they have always succeeded in deceiving
and have invariably been able to mobilize
IN their own interests. They are now
deavcring to save themselves by precisely
that liberal faction of the world which
they have assailed from the beginning.
Among the provisions of the treaty Of
peace are certain which demand that Ger
many shall surrender the territories which
she took by violence, provinces inhabited
by Poles, by Belgians, by French-the
booty of successful Prussian war waged
for aggrandizement from the days of
Frederick the Great to those of William II.
Germany demands that in each of
these provinces taken by force Of arms and
ruled by tyranny surprising description
there shall be instituted a plebiscite,
which means that the people she has ter
rorized over long years shall be exposed
to new terrorism under cover of self-de-
termination.
The German answer is a monument of
hypocrisy and an encyclopedia of in
ernments represented in Paris in the last
hope of rousing the people of enemy coun-
tries against their own government The
manouvre Is exactly the mannuvre of
1917, when the Reichstag declared for
peace without annexation, while the gov
ernment prepared for the spoliation of
Russia and operations which ended in the
treaty of Brest-Litovsk The German be-
lieves as his action indicates, that Allied
unity has ceased to exist, that Allied need
of peace will compel Allied statesmen to
abandon the just returns of victory and
place upon the shoulders of their own
people the burdens Of the German attack.
There is not from one end to the other
of the German document the slightest sug-
gestlon Of the existence Of a new spirit in
Germany. Rather, we see the old spirit
seizing franticelly upon the new words of
their enemies and endeavorng to turn to
their own advantage the principle which
survives In this world to-day only be-

The Enemy Within

The Can, New Yorl's Socialist Eng
fish language daily newspaper, formally
condemns the bomb outrages, saying:
"The mind of every civilized man and
woman sickens at violence; is appalled,
by murder"
80 Having declared this much, The Can
adds that "the feeling is the same
whether it is individual or mass VIC
lence.' It then goes en- to argue that
s',for nearly five years mankind has been
Systematically filed with philosophy
OF violence and force" Cody men, it
Continues have worked themselves into
g. frenzy Of passion, poets have sung
hymns of haze, hookmen have written
gtories with vengeance as their theme
and so on.
The inference, of course, is that the
dynamiter and the patriotic soldier are
much the same. One plants bomb and
tac other fires a shell. but the violence
OF the one, it is intimated, is as ex-
cusabie as that of the other. To the
Bad example Of the millions in the war
londay nights murderous attempts are
thus attributed. The bombers, it is con-
ceded, should not have done what they
did; but they merely initiated and the
chief responsibility rests not on them but
on society.
Two things may be said in comment.
One is that the palliatlng argument
rests on falsehood; and using more ex-
plicit language, it may be said it is
I founded on gigantic lie, as mean as

apostle Of violence. With the greater
humber the war was one Of self defence.
