This seems to leave our foreign
trade in the position described by
economists where our exports can
best be stimulated through enceurag
ing imports
In discussing the financial situation
of the United States, Mr.. Lpman
concluded that sit is probable that
the situation in the money market is
fundamentally sound in spite OF
speculation here and there; and the
unsoCNd feature. Liberty Bonds car
ried by banks, is only so in respect
to imitation, not in respect of intrin-
sic value, and therefore viii be re-
lieved when and as liquidation of the
bonds takes place. Our trade
whether domestic or foreign, need
not fear an inability to obtain neces-
sary bank accommodations

WHAT ARE THE SOUNDS
WE HEAR IN A SHE'LL?

The sounds we hear In the sea shell
are really air waves or sounds made
by air waves, because all sounds are
produced by air waves
The reason you can hear these
sounds in a sea shell is because the
shell is so constructed that it forms a
natural sounding box The wooden
part of a guitar, either or violin is a
sounding box They have the faculty
of picking up sounds and making
them stronger. We call them ttreso-
nators," because they make sounds
resound. The construction of a sea
she'll makes an almost perfect resona-
tor. A perfect resonator will pick up
sounds which the hnman ear cannot
hear at all and magnify them so that
if you hold resonator to the ear

DERNBURG SAYS DEMANDS
 OF FRANCE ARE IMPOSSIBLE

Berlin, May 23.-(By The A. P)-Un- der the caption "The Dying Peace Treaty" Dr. Bernhard Dernburg. form CT minister of finance, in an article in the Tageblatt dealing with the report that France will demand that Germany shall pay in reparation 125,o0O, 100000 marks in gold in thirty years as reparation, fig ures that this amount at compound in terest at five per cent. in thirty annual installments, would amount to 1S,000,- 000,000 marks annually
 Dr. Dernburg holds that even without interest such an amount would be im- possible, as at the present rate of ex- change it would be equivalent to one hundred and eighty billion marks in pa per, or more than the entire cost of the war He adds that the amount in thirty years would entail paper circulation of five trillion, five hundred billion marks.
 It is contended by pr. Dernburg that Germany could not pay for two years running the annual installment he men, tions, and declares that no sensible Amer ican would invest in any French loah based on Germany's promise to pay such an amount. He argues that Germany must be guaranteed existence and 9 chance for development "A hopeless nation is a bad debtor and it IS necessary to keep Germany or her feet if the world is not to perish ut terly," says Dr. Dernburg

MEMORIAL DAY TO BE
 OBSERVED IN BELGIUM

Rheims. France. May 23.-(By The A. P)-Cardinal Lucon, archbishop of Rheims. today had read in the 715 par ishes of his war-torn diocese a pastoral letter reminding his priests and the peo- pie of the approach of Memorial day, sacred to the memory of the dead in the United States.
 "On the 30th of May" says the letter. the date fixed by the liturgy for the ceremonies of Joan of Arc. our Ameri- can allies remind us of the sacrifices made by all their dead in devoting a day to prayer in their memory-Memo- rial Day.
 Do not those who so largely have helped to deliver our country in the great war just terminated deserve that we should pray to God for them through the Intermediary of her who helped us deliver France from the Strnger's yoke under similar circumstances?
 We have in our diocese particular reasons for so doing because of the gen. erosity of the American people represent ed by the American Red Cross, that came to our succor from the very first hour.
 Tn testimony of our recognition. lei us join our prayerps to theirs on May 30 in memory of all the dead of the American nation, and especially in mem ory of those who fell on the field of honol in defense of our country" The diocese of Rheims comprises the Marne and Ardennes departments, il which the American troops experienced bitter fighting and heavy losses.

CHINA HAS NOT REPLIED TO
 JAPAN'S sHANTUNG NOTE

. Tokio, May 2O.-(By The A. P.) Gov ernment officials declared today they had not received reply from China to Ja- pans latest invitation to begin nego- tiations relative to Shantung. Reports from Shanghai state China has drafted refusal on the ground that public opin- ion is opposed to negotiations and that China has not signed the treaty of Yer sailles. The foreign office here, how ever, says Japan is always ready to be- gin negotiations, and, if they are open ed, will withdraw all troops from Shan tung as soon as China can organize a force of railway police.
 Although the powers have virtually arranged for the consortium by which Great Britain, the United States, France and Japan would take dominant role ir the financing of the Chinese government there is some anxiety lest China maI raise objections to its operation. The boycott of Japanese goods in China con tinues to seriously affect Japan's ex. ports, and, therefore, adversely inf1u. ences the existing economic depression ir this country.

REPORT OF 4 DEMAND OF s5oo.Ooo
 FROM FOREIGNERS BY VILLA

Fl Paso, Texas, May 23.-Au uncon- frmed report that General Francisco Vil- la had ordered American and other for eign owned mining companies in Chihua hua to pay him s500.0O0 and that he had cut the power line between Boquillas and Parral. caused considerable concern in Mexican revolutionary circles here to- day.
 The report, if confirmed, it was said, would indicate Villa had taken up the cudgels against the new de facto gov erhment. Previously it was officially re- ported Villa and General P. Elias Gales had failed to agree on terms looking toward the bandits elimination from Mexican affairs.
 A military campaign against Villa is an immediate prospect it was said by revolutionary agents. Villa, it is said. can be captured because of his present inability to recruit large force or if successful in recruiting. to equip and supply a large force.
 Revolutionists in Chihuahua of late years have practically cleaned the state of its cattle. Previously 1t was an easy matter to feed a large body of men. but nav, it was said. it is an impossibility unless the force has source of supply outside the state.

COST OF PRODUCTION AND
 PRICES OF BITUMINoUS COAL

Washington. My 23.-Cost and pro- duction and prices of bituminous coal were the subjects of a report by the ied eral trade commission and ilt.e- wit en by J. D. A. Morrow. vice president of the National Coal AssoCittion, to Gtn- ator Walsh of Massachus stts, both made public tonight. The former compared fac tors entering in coal costs last Fehru- zry with the average for 1918, while the latter denied Senator W1lsl5 canten ion as made in a recent "enI,e speech that the bituminous coal indusyO"y made large profits during the war
 The federal trade cotmmss'on report showed labor costs increased 7" cents, cost Of supplies advanced two cents and general expenses eight cents per ton between 1918 and last February. Sales realization. however, increased only nine cents. or from $2.65 to $.14 per ton between the two periods.
 The margin per ton, the report shows was 61 cents per ton in 1)7S and 3i cents in February. The report ex- plains that margin" is the difference between sales realization and the I. O.. b. mine costs and Includes selling ex- penses interest, income and excess profits taxes and other items.
 In his denial of charges of eXorbitant profits during the war, Mir Morrow in his letter asserts thgt average price for oituminous during a,l of 1917 was $2.26 a ton.
 During 1918 when prices were under government control. the letter added, the average price was "only S2.6l ton out 7f which 30 cents a ton was paid in fed sral taxes" During that year 337 out 5f 1851 operators reported losses and he average per cent of net income for those making profits was less than Il per cent. MT. Morrow wrote.
 Following government withdrawal prices under competition in open markets sank 70 less than the fuel admnistra- ton maximum limits" according to the letter. which added that additional in sreases in cost of material and greater lost time advanced mining costs.

KILLING IF CARRANzA IS
 OvERSHADOWED BY POLITICS
Mexican Congress Meets in Special Session Tcday to Choose President ad Intsrim-Huerta and Gonzalez Appear to Be the Outstanding Candidates-Assassns of Carranza Jailed in Their Design to Kill BoniIlas.

Washington. May Retrospective po- litical developments in Mexico this week began today to overshadow the killing of Carranza.
 The Mexican congress meets in special session tomorrow to choose q president ad interim. Adolfo De La Huerta, chosen by the Sonora group a month ago as the provisional president. and General Pablo Gonzalez appear as the outstanding can didates, but the chief concern of the American officials and business men .hav- ing Mexican interests is not so much in the identity of the successful candidate as in the strength of the cooperative spirit to be manifested.
 While doubt of the ability of any one chosen to restore the country to q state of tranquility enough to warrant the holding of the regular elections was expressed by both business men and officials, it was agreed the removal of Carranza ought to make his task far more simple. Although the killing of the fugitive president must 1 be satisfactorily explained, it was said. before foreign governments will give se- rious thought to any except a de facto recognition of the new government, the 1 government has heen materially strength ened from a military and political point | of view.
 CarranZa alive would nave renamed ! potential center of serious opposition. bu; already the little force that followed him in his flight from the capital is reported | to be breaking up. Officials who have l been studying the Mexican situation sug- | gested. however, that there remains the possibility. although improbable. that 1 Carranza might have his avenger as did
 Madero when Carranzt arose in the nortl
 and that in the martyrs role the deposet
 president yet might prove posthumou: l force.
 1 Official reports today added little to r. i information received in news despatche. yesterday. but there was an evident ten
 dency in official quarters to accept tn, 1 version of his death that exonerated tn, de facto leaders of complicity.
 l Official well as unofficial report
 continued to show apprehension by d.
 facto government leaders that the deatl of Carranza might be attributed to them
 The caution given by representatives 0
 various industrial groups in Mexico |
 Secretary Colby against too nasty recog
 milton of any government in Mexico ha been supplemented by other business con cerns. and there is reason to believe tn
 situation will be studied carefully fo
 some time after the selection of presi dent ad interim before any course of pro cedure is determined.

CHRISTIAN FAITH AS
 CURE FOR THE WORLDS ILLS

Philadelphia. May 23.-Christian faith as cure for the worlds ills was advo- cated by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, in an address to commissioners of the Presby- terian General Assmbly. today
 Every conceivable explanation of the unrest dissatisfaction and disorder that prevail throughout the world has been proposed except the one that is deepest and most important" he said Having come to feel himself quite superior to all that has gone before, and being without faith in anything that lies beyond, man has tended to become an extreme egoist. The wisdom, the justice, the morality of an act or policy are now tested solely by it's immediate results, and these re- suits are increasingly measured in terms of the material and emotional satisfac- tion of the moment
 Tn a world so constituted and so mo- lived unrest, dissatisfaction and disor- der are a necessity. Set free a mil lion pr thousand million human wills tc work each for the accomplishment of its own immediate material satisfaction ana nothing but unrest, dissatisfaction and | disorder is possible.
 What appears to have happened is 1 that in setting free the individual hu man being from those external restraints and compulsions which constitute tyranny | he has also been set free from those in. ternal restraints and compilations whicf l distinguished liberty from license.
 The pendulum has swung too far ThC 1 time has come. the time is indeed already past when the pendulum should begi1 it's swing backward toward the middl, point of wisdom of sanity, of self-con trol and of steady progress. Here is t be found the religious obligation and tn religious opportunity of the American na 1 tion in this year of grace.
 There can be no cure for the world ills and no abatement of the worlds dis contents until faith and the rule of ever lasting principle are again restored an made supreme in the life of men and o
 nation. This can not be done by ex
 hortation or by preaching alone.
 must be done also by teaching; carefu systematic. rational teaching that wi
 show in simplest language that the un instructed and understand what are tn
 essentials of permanent and lofty mor
 ality, of a stable and just. social and in
 dustrial order, and of a secure and sut lime religious faith.
