Asertg France is Hostile

"In the midst of these peaceful
occupations and the quiet hunting
the astounding news L got from
Paris that :he French chambers
budget committee, in discussing the
military budget, propose to recall
the 10Th corps (Algiers and Tunis),
and to form new continental corps
on my western frontier. This, I re-
call has only been done once before,
IN 1879, when France made war on
US. Such a project, in the deepest
times Of peace, has fallen like 4
thunderbolt on Germany and has
created a deep feeling of alarm.
This has been deepened by the fact

known the moment after Prince
Lobanoff and Gen. Dragomiroff had
| officially assisted (attended) the
review of the French border army
on the Lorraine frontier amidst the
frenetic enthusiasm of the border
people, This army, which the

veks, is meant for the first rush on
cur border land in the revanche

The DISCOURAGED Burglar

When gentleman of the burgling per-

other day to steal from the home Of Citizen
A. Anderson, in Glendale, Cal, he was
caught in the act by Mrs. Anderson, who
handed him over to the police.
Being hailed into court, Burglar Coffey

other coffecs / have met were worse than
burglars) seemed downcast. 1--WE been

We have all felt the same way at times.
The High School student gets discouraged,
and the settlement worker, and the re-
former, and the mother, the banker, the
scientist, the wash-woman, and the mayor.
Encouragement is not new, and failure is
quite common.
But the new note in this item is that
burglars also fail.
What! Have the purple paths Of daliance
also their pitfalls? When we rebel and
give up trying TO be decent and take TO
crime, can we fail and make mess Of
things even there also? Bless my soul and

More than a hundred million dollars of such money has been left in Eng land alone by American business men, bankers estimate.
 According to the best authorities, the causes for the depreciation of ex- change are the prostration of indus try due to the war, the unfavorable balance of trade, the over-abundance of paper money and the worldwide speculation in foreign exchange. Sir George Paish, a. British authority, is quoted as saying that Europe's pro ductive power cannot be e-establish- ed until the labor of its dead and severely wounded is replaced, until industry is readjusted, and until ruin ed towns, factories, mines and farms can be reconstructed. During this period, he says, Europe will continue to need more food, raw materials and manufactured goods than she can pay for by means of her own produc- tion."

 In The Home Sector, the eE-Sol- diers' weekly, Ralph Armstrong. in writing of how the pound hit the financial skids, says: Tanks in Eng land, chiefly as students in the uni versailles after the armistice, believed sterling would rise and many retained their English money Perhaps they could not be blamed so much, for a great many astute business men are reported to have misjudged the Eng fish money market. Bankers in New York know of one local merchant, an exporter, who had 10000 pounds in a London bank He was advised six months ago to sell for the rate he could then get, s4,s6, but preferred to delay until the pound had gone up to s444.
