Biggest Year in History.
The year 1920 should be the biggest
year in the history of boys and girls
club work, and am confident that It
will be. The country is facing a diff
cult situation, because so many men
have left the farms to work in the
city. The good work that the club
boys and girls can do will help to over
come that handicap, and the club boys
and girls Will do that kind of work
this year 1t may hearten you to
know that many Of us here in the de-
partment of agriculture look upon the
boys and girls clubs much as Caesar
must have looked upon the Tenth Lee

know that we can rely on you.

"Government ownership is the

COMPROMISE RAILWAY BILL

In the passageway Of the Rail-
way bill in the House the only IN
expected feature was the large ma

threats Of labor leaders, who openly
announced that campaigns would be
made to defeat every Congressman

for no other reason than that its

THE LATE MAJOR PULLMAN

tributes of respect to the late Major
Pullman, who died in that city last
night after a brief illness. The
Post says the death of Raymond W.
Pullman, major and superintendent
of police of the District of Column
bia, brings. great personal grief to
large circle of intimate friends. In
the prime of life. not yet 80 years Of
age, he died after en- eight days

pneumonia.
aMajor Pullman became head Ct
the police of the District with no
previous training in that direction.
His methods were idealistic and in
some respects original. but his sir
certify and honesty of purpose in al!
that he did never was questioned.
He reorganized some branches of
the service, instituted what he be-
lieved TO be needed reforms. and
the results Of his administration
gave satisfaction to large element
of. our population who shared his
high ideals. He had his critics, but
in that respect he was no different
from officials in higher places, and
criticism, of public officials often is
but the setpping stone that leads to
better things. Throughout Els
public service Major Pullman always
was courteous official and in his
private life clean, honest and up-
right.

GERMANY's WAR INDEBTEDNESS

Germany complains that it has
a S5O,00000O home Indebtedness, to
which must be added the indemnitT
to be paid the Allies.
GAS the Manufacturers Recorl
says, Germany fought war purely
for aggressive world domination and
looting, for which it had been max
ing ready for many years. 1t was a
vile, vicious, nlurderous. war. H=s y.
"Between 1876 the South fought
not for aggression, not for the pur
pose of looting, but for a principle
which its people believed had been
guaranteed by the Constitution. m
deed, seevral States. including Viz
ginia, in the adoption of the, Consti-
tuition had specifically reserved the
right of withdrawal from the Tn
ion. But when the war ended The
South was required to repudiate ev-
cry dollar of bonds and every othe.
form of Indebtedness incurred fo-
carrying on the war.
"Why not compel Germany to re-
pudiate every dollar of indebtedness
incurred for carrying on the war?
Then all of its people would be made
to realize some measure of Just pun
ishment.
"ShaH America and the Allies say
that murderous Germany shall be
treated far better as to it's own wa"
Indebtedness than was the Confed-
eracy."
Comptroller williams in his ar
nual report says:
"The Comptroller suggests that
Germany's vast internal debt should
be subordinated to the payment ct
the allied nations. The Internal
German debt is largely owed by The
Government to the junker or former
governing and capitalistic classes,
and the subordination of her inter
nal debt to her external obligations
would require the jurkers and other
capitalists Of Germany, while wait
ing until their country can pay in
