The entire fabric of civiliza tion in thought, moral stand ards. institutions, even language, were shaken to the depths. The devasta tions of the war were not confined to the battle fronts or to the sinking ships.

CHINA'S CL AIM IN SHANTUNG FAVORED
 BY BRITISH BODY
Regarded As Significant In asmuch As Part of Eng fish Enterprises Are
 Linked With Japs
By Associated Pres,

Shanghai, April 19,-The British Cham her of Commerce of Shanghai, represent ing the bulk of British interests in the far east, has put itself on record as in favor of China's claims in the Shantung controversy. This is in line with action taken by American commercial organiza- tions in China, and is regarded as signifi- cant in view of the fact that a part of the English commercial enterprises in the orient are linked with the Japanese.
 This chamber" declared A. w. Burkill chairman of the British chambers direc- tcrate, in his address at the annual meet ing, lis in full sympathy with China in her very natural desire to have control of this province returned to her
 When one takes into consideration that Japana in taking Tsingtao, with the help of the British troops, was only doing her part as an ally, her present attitude is hard to understand.
 She is taking deliberate steps to con trol the whole of the land surrounding the harbor, docks, wharves and railroad terminals, and every obstacle is put in the way of other nationals of acquiring any property in what undoubtedly is the business center. This policy can only be construed in one way, viz, that Japan is not going to allow any other nation to have an opportunity of trading on fair and equal terms with her own nationals. We. none of us. want any special consid- eration; all we ask for is to be allowed to do business on an equal footing"

 PAPER MARKS
 IN CIRCULATION
By Associated Press

Berlin, April 24.-Germany's paper money now in circulation amounts to 60,- 0o0,000,000 marks and is increasing by ,000, 0,000,0O0 marks a week, declares Au- gust Mueller, former minister of econom- ics
 The printing of bank notes is the only flourishing industry in Germany today, he writes in an article in the Abendblatt He attributes this activity in printing of money to government subsidies under taken in vain effort to reduce the prices of food and also to the continual in- creasing of salaries ''to an absurdly grow ing officialdom who find next day they are no better off, owing to the overnight decline of the buying power of the paper mark
 Germany's indebtedness. says Herr Mueller. is now about 23, GOO 000,0 900 marks. This, he adds, is perhaps. redeemable at the present low value of the mark, but never if it recovers even half it's for mer value.
 Herr Mueller Is unable to see a remedy except in increasing production which. he says, seems to preoccupy the present rulers of Germany less than the anxie.y to keep in office.

 It requires but slight acquaintance

 with it greater difficulties than the war itself The world is filled with the strident voice of strife, individual and social Men always strive. That
 is the price of progress. but there has come over the spirit of men a dark ness which Is more than the confusion of contrary purposes. In addition to the normal struggle by means of which character is developed and ends achieved there seems to be a general irritation which amounts almost to ha- tired
 Of course the Germans are not sat- isfied with the terms of peace No vanquished foeman is. The allied na- tions are not satisfied. and certainly the American people find slight, if any, satisfaction in the part played by our nation in the past IA months
 There is fundamental reason for this spiritual condition with which we must begin any helpful analysis. For five years the world was engaged in great spiritual effort expressing itself in the most gigantic output of physical forQn in the history of man.
