which West Virginia carries to women.
TO us it means that the nationNis won,

SUPREME COUNCIL SUM-
MARlZES CONDITIONS.

Conditions be Fully and Completely

Possible MomsNt. 4 81

I.0nd0n.-The supreme council has
issued a memorandum on world eco
nomic conditions. Its conclusions are
a follows: 7
ssM lsef% paramount ir,pertspee thai
peace conditions should be fully and
completely restored at the earliest pos.
sible nonlent throughout the World. Y
!. To achieve this object 1t is desir-
able (first) that peace aud normal eco
nOmic relations should be re-establlsh-
ed at the. earliest moment possible
throughout eastern Europe; (second).
that armies everywhere should be
limited to the lowest possible figure
compatible with national security and
that the league of nations should he
invited to consider as soon as possible
proposals TO this end; (third) that
states which have been created or en-
larged as result of the war should i'm
mediately re-establish full and friendly
cooperation and arrangement for I'M
restricted interchange of commodities,
In order that the essential unity Of
European economic life may not be i'm.
paired by the erection of artificial eco
nOmic barriers.
Not only the government of each
country, but all those engaged in the
task of production in every land,
should give immediate attention to the
execution of all measures which will
contribute to the full resumption OF
peaceful industry. to the encourage
ment of a better output on the part of
the workers in every country, to the
Improvement Of machinery and means
of transportation and the removal of
such disturbing factors as prOfiteering
Each government should Immediate
ly consider means for urging upon its
nationals in every rank of life the vi
tai necessity of suppressing eXtraya-
gance and reducing expenditure.
1t is essential that early steps be
taken to secure the deflation of credit
and currency, (firSD by the reduction
of recurrent government expenditure
within the limits of the revenue; (sec-
OndD by the imposition of such addi-
tiOnal taxation as is necessary to Sc
cure this result; (third) by the fund
ing of shOrt-term obligations by means
of loans subscribed out of the peoples
savings: (fourth) by the immediate
limitation and gradual curtailment OF
note circulation.
Provision for raw materials being
essential to the restoration of indus
try, means should be found whereby
the countries which are. in the pres
ent conditions of international ex-
change, unable to purchase in the
world markets, and, so, are unable TO
restart thei recOnOmic life, can OBJ
tain commercial credits.
The powers are agreed that it is |
desirable, in the interest alike of Ger
many and her creditors, that the to-
tai to be paid by her for PREPARATION
should be fixed at an early date.

RAILROADS FREE TO
ADDRESS. PUBIC ]

It is with a sense of relief that we
commence to see unmistakable proof
that the government has let go Of the
railroads. One Of the first signs to
appear is railroad advertising direct
from the private management. Such
message as this really sounds good
after the long silence:
We want the cooperation
and good woll of the public
and the public's representatives, the
officials of the federal government
and the various states which we
serve, and intend to deserve them in
the fullest measure.
ITO that END, we purpose to dis
cuss frankly with the public our poll
tics, our ideals, our equipment, our
personnel. We want to retain old
friends and to make new ones on the
basis of thoro knowledge and under
standing"
This quotation is taken from a
paid advertisement of the New York
Central railroad. 1t sounds good.
We Americans are more at home
under the competitive system where
every fellow speaks for himself than
under the monopoly system, even
federal control.
Now we can kick at our railroad
service, if we want to, without knock
ing our government. We know who
is responsible for the service we pay
for and our protests will not be
swallowed up in tangled skein of
government red tape. We shall have
improved service, both freight and
passenger
American opinion freed the rail-
roads. There were those who would
have liked to have seen the govern
ment hold it's reign of power over the
systems. Some of them had axes to
grind Some simply had funny"
ideas
1t is pleasing to note that the
emancipated railroads are using
newspaper space at the cost of real
money, in the only out-and-out way
to say what they have to say to the
American public.
1t is no longer worth while to buy
newspapers with which to carry on
any propaganda. The American peo-
pie have had so much too much pro-
paganda in the past few years that
they can smell it long way Off
They want information, but they
want to know from whom and why
for They want to get the dope"
straight, and no Interior purposes.
Paid advertising is the bona fide way
to address the public, and it seems
more like the old days to see the
railroads at it again. F. C. X.

Girls i'm Demand

Adoptions. wherever figures were
available, generally showed even a
greater ratio Of increase than births.
Many cities reported commensurate
decrease in the number Of babies
abandoned by their parents. The de-
sire Of mothers who cannot support
their babies, to assure good home
for them rather than trust to the
comparative uncertainty Of an institu-
ton, has been evinced in several in
stances of babies being "auctioned
off," in some cases even before birth.
Persons adopting babies generally
want them extremely young. Girls
appear to have a slightly better
chance than boys of obtaining foster
parents.

New York reported 22,535 births
this year, compared with 21,165 last
