mates, yield something like 500 billion gold
marks, or more than twice the fixed indemnity.
The trouble. though, lies in the fact that the
coal and potash must be minded. and the work
es must live while they dig. II the coal and
potash could be scooped up. as 30 much gold in
a vault. and transported to the allied treasures,
the solving Of the indemnity problem would be
comparatively easy.

ash, a tenth OF her underground coal. and call

crashing of teeth beyond the Rhine.
But she can't.
Germany must settle to the stern and hard
wearing task of mining her coal and potash, Of
turning her other natural resources into gold.

her own cost of living, and cost Of production.
The best terms Germany gets will be hard

WEIGHT OF
BY DR.. ". Z. BARTON

A rock that weighs $50 pounds
will weigh the same in any situation
in which it can place itself; but a
man who weighs the same amount
may sit on the end of q lever so that
his weight will lift a ton. Archim-
edes was right when he declared
that with a lever long enough and
strong enough and with a place to
stand, he could lift the world.
1t has been done.
Alexander the Great did 1t, and so
did Napoleon, and both of them by
methods well known and often I'M
ployed. They put the weight of their
personality on the end of a lever
whose iength was so many hundred
thousand men, and the world
moved.
The barons who confronted King
John did the same, and by methods
very different; and so did Washing
ton and Lincoln and Pershing. They
placed the lever of their personality
under the inert mass of tradition
and prejudice and tyranny, and the
world moved.

HOW GERMANY MUST PAY.

marks. plus a 12h per cent tax upon her ex-
port trade: all this to be spread over a period
Of forty-two years.
German experts now are preparing statistics
20 prove that Germany cannot pay that much.
In France and Great Britain the question is:
How much can we get out of Germany during
his and the next generation?"
A British economic expert, ]. Ellis Barker, a
year or so ago. pointed out two huge German
resources. either of which. he insisted, would
pay the indemnity then demanded by France,
considerable higher than that now agreed upon
by Allied economic experts.
Germany's coal and potash would square Ger
many's war debts to the Allied nations, Barker
said.
He estimated (from pre-war German reports)
that in the Rhenish- We stphalian coal fields
alone Germany had coal worth Cat pre-war

of Germany, exclusive OF the export tax. which
economists recognize would be a high tariff
wall against Germany's trade for at least four
decades.

THE SCHOOL BOARD.

To serve for eleven consecutive years az presi-
dent of a Board OF Education is an honor that
comes to but few men. That Is the record now
held by John X. sheehy. president of the Board
of Education of Perth Amboy, and he has a
right to feel gratihed over the confidence placed
in him and the esteem In which he is held.
Perth Amboy is fortunate. in having a school
board made up of high class, intelligent men.
The matter of education is something that goes
TO the very foundation of our form OF govern
ment. If people are to govern themselves the
rank and file must have intelligence. The pub
lie school has made It possible for America to
build up a nation that in a comparatively few
years has out-strippsd all the refinement and
culture Of the old world. It Is because of the
enlightenment Of the people that make up the
nation. This enlightenment has come through
the public schools.
In Perth Amboy there is a particularly hard
problem and 1t needs the best efforts that the
city can put forth to meet the situation. It is
necessary that the very best ability obtainable
be secured TO handle this most vital matter. In
the makeup Of the present school board the
city has such ability. To be head OF such q
board carries with It a great deal Of responsible
tty as we'll a. much honor and respect.
The schools of Perth Amboy have never been
In better condition than at present. There is
still much to be done. to be sure. but with the
equipment and funds available and considering
the various state laws that remove certain fea-
lures entirely from the control OF the local au-
thorities, the Perth Amboy public school system
compares well with any school system in the
state. When IT Is realized that New Jersey ex-
rels all other states In the East and ranks
fourth of all the states in the Union in the mat
ter of education the reputation that Perth Am
boy enjoys is something in which we may all
baks pride.
