In that hour Magsie had received
Rachael's note, and her heart sang.
For the first time. in what she would
have described as this funny mixed
up business" she began seriously to
contemplate her elevation to h dig
rity of Warren Gregory's wife. Ra-
chael's note was capable of only one
interpretation: she would no longer
stand in their way. h was taking
the boys to the country, and had given
Warren the definite assurance of her
agreement to his divorce. If neces-
sary, on condition that her claim to
the children was granted, she would
establish her residence in some West
ern city, and proceed with the legal
steps from there.
Maggie was frightened. excited, and
thrilled all at ono She felt as II she
had set some enormous machinery in
motion. and was not quite sure Of how
it might be controlled. But on the
whole, complaoency underlay all other
emotions. She IA going to be mar"
ried to the richest and incest and most
important nan of her acquaintance!
At heart, however, her manner be-

dence. She lived in q French girls

and rich. But Magsie st1uddered away
from Richie's coughing and faintine;
his tones and his diet had no place In
her robust'san joyous scheme OF life.
Besides, all MaSsie's world would envy
her capture Of Greg; he belonged to
New York. And Rchie's father had
been q miner, and his. mother was
"impossible!"
Magxs dressed e1quidtely for the
tea; 1t seemed to her that she had
never been SO pleasantly excited in. her
life. She felt a part Of the hurnming,
crowded city. the spring wind and the
uncertain sky. Life Wal thrilling and
surprising.
Half-past four o'clock came, and
Warren came. They were In Magsie's
little apartment now, and she could go
into his arms. Warren was rather
quiet as they went out to tea, but
Magsie did not notice it.

ERMAN NEW OFFER

The further offer Of German ny in connection with rep.
aration settlements which has just been forwarded to
Washington is said to be very intricate and involved, so
that 1t will take some time to reach an intelligent estimate
OF 1t. In the meantime, no summary of the contents of the
note Is to be given out by the secretary Of state unless the
note is first made public by Germany or by one of the AL
lied nations in case it should also have been sent to them.
The only fact which stands out clearly in the prelimi-
nary statement concerning the note is that Germany Of.
provided for in the Allied demand Of last January. unless
there are features in the note which tend to make sePous
notifications on the other claims presented by the Allies
1t will be difficult for the man on the street to understand
what all the fuss has been about. Germany protested that
the payment Of 226 billion marks was an absolute impos-
sibilitt for her. She now proposes to pay 200 instead Of
226. II there L. anyone who can tell 20 far in advance
within about IL per cent Of what Germany will be able to
pay during the next thirty Of forty years, he has better
information than the statistietAns usually have with refer
ence to the future. OF course II Germany can ave twenty
odd billion marks by he- course Of delay and proerastina-
ton, the saving will perhaps be worth while. Every little
helps. But to offer at this time to pay the smaller sum
after all the v~ocferous protests Of her inability to nay the

but not by anybody else. :

about which the public IL informed at this time. There are
all sorts Of conditions, and it is not at all unlikely that
when the entire document is interpreted. that under an
appearance OF plaustbitty, there is still present a purpose
to delay action and to bring about more futile discussion.
II this is to prove to be the case, we may expect, first, that
the American government will decline to act as the me-

that IL u - Transmitted. IT, will be summartly rejected by
the Allied governments to take such. action for the coliec-

TROUBLES OF The RAILROADS

The country IS hearing a great deal about the
transportation situation. and it has come to know some
thing of financial conditions affecting the railroads
from the sharp increases in passenger and shipping
rates. 1t is not encouraging to be Informed that the
railroads are stnl running on an improbable basis
One OF the serious results Of the slump in freight
business or the railroads is the reduction in the mum
Der of employees in this branch of transportation, the
Pennsylvania railroad alone having laid of $1,000 men
since last December. The railroads have adopted the
only business-like method Of dealing with a situation
over which they have no control Congress has voted
to- pay the railroad companies the larger part of the
balance that is due on the governments guarantee in
the federal management of the roads during the war,
and this payment should have the effect soon Of enab-
ling the roads to improve rolling stock and prepare for
the larger business certain to develop.
Manufacturers complain that the higher freight
rates are having a serious effect in r%etarding the re-
sumption of industry, and the roads complain that even
present rates are Improbable with the low volume Of
business.
In the transportation problem is found another
Illustration of the interlocking character of industry
and business. and demonstrates that there can be no
solution until all interests are ready to cooperate in
making concessions that will be for the general vel
fare. Selfish demands for relief will only complicate
a condition that has already reached serious proper

Industrial stocks.
A bill before the legislature of Pennsylvania pro-
yides for a much lower rate of taxation on buildings
