ployed in January a year ago.

total accommodation to the district is
fully 10 million dollars larger than a

Business in the northwest is mark,
ing time. There is a more cheerful
feeling among business men but no in
crease in the total volume of business
done. The general and rapid decline in
prices which had prevailed in Novem-
Der and December appears to have
been arrested in January. These de-
clines have laid a foundation for a
sound business revival by reducing
some costs of production and by max
ing it possible to reduce other costs as
well. Readjustments in the prices of
individual commodities have been TAX
ing place with a tendency to level the
value or equal costs. This leveling pro-
cess gives promise OF a balanced re-
v hen revival takes place.
General Price Situation.

mixed tendencies with about as many
increases as. decreases.

prices for cash sales of wheat and y

prices OF flax. corn, barley. and oate
decreased respectively II cents, S

Co-ERCING GERMANY

An article in the latest number Of the Review OF
Reviews, throws a rather pessipistic hight on the
situation in western Europe, as regards the German
question. - ''~'Sf'
France. ii says, is bankrupt unless she can gel
the money due from Germany Neither France,
Great Britain nor Italy can pay the United States
what they owe unless Germany pays them. On the
other hand, if Germany permitted TO build up an
industrial machine sufficient TO enable her 10 pay.
she will be such competitor that the other nations
will be crowded to the wall.
Again, it explains. while Great Britain and the
United States are interested in the restoration of
Germany, because the German market is necessary
for their commercial advancement. France is Wit
ally INTERESTED in keeping Germany down, because
thera is NOT the slightest doubt that. if any accident
should create an opportunity, Germany would be
quick to seize it and throw off the yoke imposed
by the Versailles treay
France is thus compelled to choose between i'm
posing such reparation demands as Germany could
pay, or making them heavy that in resisting pay
ment Germany will go to pieces In the latter case
it means BANKRUPTCY for Germany and France alike;
in the former the restoration of foe which would
constantly endanger the hfe of France.
Surely, however. there is some other alternative,
if the passions left over from the would per-
mttEurope p find it. Germany not be de-
stroyed without endangerng the whole fabric of
civilization in Europe. neither can she pay without
being permitted to build up an industrial system
which .wil leave some margin of profit for the Ger
mans Men will not devote their lives to enter
prise with the sole object of paying tribute to an
other country, Perhaps if they would modify their
hatreds and suspicious and try to get together on
more humane basis something could be accom-
plished to save civilization from destruction.

RUDE ALLYN A FREE MAN
(Tamna Times }


We doubt if the clearing of any man from the
overhanging cloud of an ugly suspicion has ever
created much general satisfaction as in the
case of Rube ALLYN, which happened yesterday.
The grand jury which investigated the case did
not find sufficient evidence against him to war
rant holding him for trial. Those who knew
him never believed for moment that he was
guilty of the awful crime which charged
to him. 1t was inconceivable that a man as
genial, compaAionable and friendly with every
body as the editor of the Florida Fisherman could
conceive, much less execute such a horrible
crime as the murder of Harry Higel. He was
unfortunate in having been. in the immediate
neghborhOod of the crime az about the time it
was committed, and in having had a previous
disagreement with the murdered man. These
circumstances worked against him in the minds
of the officers of the law, and they did their sim
pie duty in following up the only clue they had,
but his friends, who knew him best, never lost
faith in his innocence. We join host of friends
in our congratulations on hts escape from what
might have been awful mistake.
