Sound But ImnossihIe

 Now the French present another proposal--the guaranty by America of the German indemnity French financiers already formula ting plan to float series of German loans in this country the war claims of the allies.

The French. though refuse wipe their deficit by sternly imposed taxes France demands that Germany shall balance the French budget-in ! this way: by transferring German credits France.

EDITORIAL
COMMENCEMENT
c. c. F.. Editor

Each year as commencement time rolls round, I think of the old gentle man who delivered the address to our high school class.
 You know, that old speaker nearly spoiled the day for us It was on Friday, the twenty third day of June one of the hottest days the cIty had known in years. There we were. gath cred in the big school auditorium The principal and the speaker under a bower of ferns and palms on the stage The young hopefuls occupied the front rows out on the floor, with mothers and fathers - sisters and brothers aunts and uncles parked in the rear and up in the balconies
 Dress Parade
 The class was dressed up like a new automobile. Boys in the conventional black or blue (many of the younger ones wearing their first pair of long 'uns.) The girls in white dresses of silks and laces and ribbons. from the most simple to the most fancy.
 Well, the old gent started in to talk to us at about 1015 a. na., choosing Horace Greeley as his topic We knew that the eyes Of the world were on us of course. Consequently, our eyes were lntently upon the speaker. Our lhouShts-however, were on our new clothes' and the class dance the night before; the class banquet that after noon and-positively my dear, the biggest event of the year--the banquet the next night as guests of our alumni assoclatIon. whose membership in elUded graduates of the class of 's1.
 And so, as I said. the speaker started in to speak. his quavering voice flltering through his white beard as it pobbed up and down on his chest He read his speech from a manuscript or notes on pack of cards. Usually, I am in favor of a speaker using cards like that as it gives me an idea of when he is coming to the end of his talk. But he kept his cards on the table and we couldn't measure the progress of his talk.
 Just Getting Started
 At 1O:31 o'clock we thought he was about half way through his speech. At 1O:35 he calmly announced that he was now coming 10 his subject" The room had grown hot and stuffv. with anxious parents jambed in the door ways and sitting in open windows Lit tle sisters and brothers began to fidget and fret.
