ermany show a striking apathy. The
Germans say. What's the use-we
must keep on paying the rest of our
lives-and we can't pay"
In other words, a reasonable in
demnity must be fixed that will give
the Germans incentive to produce and
SELL Otherwise the allies will not
collect the money they expect. But
the British and French are being con-
verted to that viewpoint and the pur-
pose of the preliminary conferences
has been to arrange a program to
put before the Germans at Spa.
Shall the United States stay out of
the Spa conference or shall she as
an associate in the war and a big
creditor of European governments
take her seat and express herself and
lend her influence to the stabiliza tion
of the finance of the world? President
Wilson was snubbed by the Senate
once before when he suggested Amer
lean representation on the repara-
tions commission. but that commits
sion was created by the treaty. Under
International law and constitutional
law =, the President can appoint an
envoy to discuss anything with Ger
rlany or any other country. He has
the power to do SO, but it is a ques-
ton whether in view of the treaty
fight in the Senate he will consider it
advisable to do SO. His decision in
wolves a point more delicate than
anything that has arisen in our for
eign relations since the peace treaty
failed to pass the Senate.

with the profiteers in clothing and
food. Senator Thomas in the Senate
yesterday conf1ded to his colleagues
that he was wearing patched clothes
and shoes Of the vintage of 1916. and
that he was ready to go the limit in
helping to break the wave of high
prices
In the overall movement and by re-
framing from purchasing new clothes
the people have recently forced a re-
duction in prices of clothing that has
been reported from many cities, he
said.
The overall campaign was a good
thing" the senator said. ''The papers
today are full OF kilograms from all
Parts of the country announcing dras-
tic cuts in clothing prices. Did legis-
the mselves.'
There was a shift toward the rail-

shoes l have on were bought in 1916.

clothes until prices go down to a

| to danger of arrest for not wearing
enough clothes on the streets of

LOWER PRICES ON
 CITRUS FRUITS IN
 WHOLESALE MARKET

Oranges and grapefruit are selling this winter at lower prices than for several years, say the dealers.
 It appears that just as these fruits were last to advance under war con ditions they have been first to return to pre- war levels.
 In wholesale trade circles it is said the present prices for oranges and grapefruit are so low many of the growers are sustaining actual losses on this years crop, which has cost more to produce and haul to market than any previous one.
 The prevailing low wholesale prices of citrus fruits afford ho.sekeepers the opportunity to save money by using quantities for the benefit and pleas ure of their folks, orchard men be- lieve.
 Oranges and grapefruit are useful in many ways besides the utilization as breakfast fruits that is general. They can be substituted for more ex- pensive fruits and food products in many forms of cookery and confec- tions, cakes, pastries, salads, sauces, desserts and ices.
 Dealers say now is good time to buy freely and eat oranges and grape fruit There is reason to believe that not for long time, if ever, will they again be sold so low as at present orchard quotations. In buying these fruits, better satisfaction will be had if the advertised brands are called for and insisted upon, merchants declare.
