RecosI,pense.

He sang green fields and country lanes
in spring
OF gardens scents and fragrance
passing sweet
Who only knew the drab environment
And cobbles OF sordid city street
On home and happiness his fancy dwelt
The love of kin, the handgrasp OF a
friend
Who i'm an attic lived with but his dog
To bark in welcome at the dreary
days end.
And yet--such lonely hearts who
warm themselves
BY the faint fire Of their imaginings
Have this the recompense-they never
How often love and happiness take
wings!

The range conditions were ideal,
with only slight breeze and ex-
cellent weather, resulting in high

Hunted the Smoking Car.

cording to smoking car passengers or
"a Long Beach bound train the other

The woman, slender, good looking
and wearing a. Panama hat over hel
luxuriant long hair, was among thu
last of the passengers to descend thu
station stairway.
(Which end Of the train is the smok

brakeman. .i.5 ,

The brakeman stepped forward as II
to bar her. ~

the woman unabashed. "Thats what

The brakeman stepped aside, tlecid

conductor. 'o
Entering the car and peering through
the smoke cloud, she looked for seat
None of the gallant smokers offered hel
"a place, thinking no doubt, that she
had accidentally got into the wrong cal
and would soon depart. Not so the w0
man. Exploring the far end of the cal
she spied a vacant seat and sat down
beside a middle aged man who was 60
ing fishing
Comfortably settled, she reached In
to the depths of her beaded bag and ex.
tractcd therefrom a package Of 2Ocent
cigarettes, rolled one between her fingers
and began to smoke.
II guess she's from Southern Europe
where they do such things" commented
an old-fashioned passenger What is

Punishment Uncalled For.

Houston Post: The mild little man
had settled down in the train to read
and feeling drOwsy after hard day ut
the office fell asleep. On the hat rack
above was a basket containing a
ferocious crab, and reaching the edge
of the rack, fell, alighting on the
mans shoulder, and grabbed his ear to
steady itself. The passengers waited eX-
pectantly, but all they heard was: Let
80, Sarah! l tell you I've been at the
office all the evening"

London, July 1.-The acutal cost Of
the war to European belligerents was
in excess of 10000, 900, 900 pounds rep
resented by property destroyed, losses
in investments abroad. depreciation of
properties, and by pensions, Edgar
Crammond, English financier, told the
Bankers Institute ut recent meeting
here
He fixed the following as the real
losses of the European belligerents:
Germany, S,7OO,OOO,OOO pounds !;
France, 6,25O,OOO,OOO pounds: the Unit
ed Kingdom, 5,2OO,OOO,OOO pounds !;
Italy, 2,1OO,OOO,OOO pounds; Belgium.
55O,OOO,OOO pounds.
U. s. Prospered.
To only two belligerent countries
the United States and .Iapan-tlid the
war bring prosperity, Mr. Crammond
said, but Spain, Holland, Switzerland,
Greece, and Scandinavia, also had
grown weather.. He believed the
Liquid capital of the world, now dis
tributed in centcrs which are unaccus-
toned to the exercise Of their new pow
ers," would eventually again find its
cheif outlet through London.
1.-THE war has produced an eXtraOrdi-
nary change in the economic relations
of the United States with Europe" he
said. "Whereas, in 1914 America owed
Europe 2,OOO,OOO,OOO pounds at present
Europe owes America 2,OOOOOO,OOO
pounds.
Assuming that the postwar purchas-
ing power of the dollar was 20 per cent
of its pre-war value, Mr.. Crammond
said during the past five years there
had been an actual increase in the ma
tional wealth of the United States of
approximately 30 per cent and he es-
timated this wealth now In the neigh
borhood Of 7O,OOO,OOO,OOO pounds to
$4,000, 100000 pounds.
The national wealth Of Japan, he es-
timated, had been doubled by the war.
Germany Heavy Loser.
On the basis of a postwar mark
valued at 5 per cent OF Its pre-war
value he estimated Germany has lost,
apart from the indemnity, 26 per cent
of her national wealth, the whole of
I~o. III oil hny ,io1
possessions, and practically the whole
of her investments abroad. If the fig
ures suggested ut the Hythe confer
ence 8,25O,OOO,OOO pounds, were fixed
as the German war indemnity he de-
clared the total losses Of the German
people arising out Of the war would
be equivalent to about 15.OOO,OOO,OOO
pounds, of One-half her national
wealth.
$50 far az the world is concerned
the principal loss is in the fact that
Europe is not yet a going concern :"
he continued. hut the underlying
economic forces which made her the
great center of the worlds commercial
activities are still at work and will
rapidly transform the economic stu
alton in Europe"
He said the dominant characteristic
of international trade in the next 10
years will be tremendous world de-
mand for capital, and the internal
financial policies of the ations should
be framed with due regard to this CON
dition.
