Making Germany Pay.

AT first sight nothing simpler than the mat.
ter of enforcing against Germany the penalties imposed
upor her at the peace conference. The treaty of Yer
saes which the Germans accepted because they could
not do anything else proclaimed Germanys responsible
ty for the and declared that Germany must pay
the full limit of her ability for the injuries that she had
inflicted upon her neighbors.
The peace treaty did not attempt, however, to fix
the exact amount that Germany must pay. As Mr..
Baruch has explained in his book there two
for this: nobody knew either the of the
damages the measure of Germany's ability to pay
and the largest amount that Germany could pay was
far below the amount of the damages that state
ment of facts at that time would have caused the
throw of more than European government
In the months that have passed since the treaty
of Versailles signed it has become more nearly pos
sibc TO both the injuries of the war and the
German ability to make payment, but the discrepancy
between these two measures is increased rather tran
diminished by careful investigation Germany cannot
possibly meet the reasonable claims of her victims.

"The effect of this edict on school

plans had eventually been prepared and

opening address at the first meeting,
on January 8, 1918, the unexpended bal
ance then available for school bui d.
ing construction from the appropra-
tions Of the Mitchell administration was
approximately $12 100000. Later this
was reduced to $10,000,000 by the pres

suits to speak of in the way of addi-

derived from this tidy sum bequeathed

"Then, with much pomp and cere-
mony, buildings seating $4,000 children
were opened. But, obviously, most Of
this miraculous achievement costing
approximately $14,50O, ,O00 was accom-

much greater expense than if the work

Bedtime Stories
The Truce of the Beechnuts
By Thornton w. Burgess
There's time for aDorA; and time
for play;
There's time to eat G9sd TO run

old Mother Nature.

When two or more enemies agree
TO be at peace for q short time 1t Is
said TO be truce. If one should
attack another without warning he
would be breaking the truce. Over
IN the Green Forest under the beech
trees there was truce, the beechnut
truce they called it, among the big
and little people gathered there to
search for the little, sweet. brown
nuts hidden among and undcr the
leaves on the ground.
No one knew how it had started,
un ess it was wise Old Mother Ma
ture, but it had been so each year
since any could remember. Always
when the little, sweet, brown, three
sided nuts fell those who liked them
gathered there to feast, and while
the feast lasted the smaller people
had no fear of the big. At leas. it
seemed that way.
Timid little Whitefoot the Wood
Mouse, who would make hardly more
than bite for great big Buster
Bear, but for whom Buster was for
ever hunting, now ran almost under
Busters nose and Buster didn't once
put out paw to try to catch him.
The Grouse family ran this way and
that way within few feet of Bobby
Coon, and Bobby hardly glanced at
them. Yet Bobby Coon is very fond
of tender Grouse when he can get it.
Happy Jack Squirrel and Rusty the
Fox Squirrel and Chatterer the Red
Squirrel scurried about among the
leaves and boldly scolded Buster
Bear and Mrs. Bear and the cubs,
Boxer and Woof-Woof. Even Striped
Chipmunk came over and joined the
party.
Now, there Is little going on that
Old Man Coyote doesn't find out
about. He had no use for the little,
sweet, brown nuts himself, but there
were many little people there who
would be much to his liking. So
Old Man Coyote trotted over to the
Green Forest and hid where he could
watch all that went on. Ke hoped
that Mrs. Grouse or one Of her chill
dren would stray near his hiding
place, or that Happy Jack Squirrel
or Rusty the Fox Squirrel would
come within reach. Just watching
them made his mouth water.
But none came near enough for
him to spring with any chance OF
success, and so he tried stealing
little closer. That was his mistake.
The sharp eyes of Samm Jay saw
him. and instantly Sammy few to a
perch just above him and be~an to
scream as on Sammy can. Thief
Thief! Th 'ef!" screamed Sammy at
The top of his lungs.
Instantly everybod looked that
way. But Old Man Coyote was welt

In addition 20 this. many Of the
classes are seriously crowded, particu-
'arlv the fourth, fifth, sixth and sew
enth years. These classes average
forty-four.
Painters are engaged in painting the
interior of the school. The rear stair
way is shut off from use of pupils
while this work is in progress and the
transfer Of classes from one room to
another takes longer as result.
Although this repair was much
needed, no effort was made to do 1t
during the vacation period when the
school was closed. Aiming S. Prall,
president Of the Beard Of Education. in
replying to the report of the commit
tee of representatives from twelve
women's civic organizations last June,
declared no repairs had been done be-
cause it was the policy Of the board to
execute repairs only during the sum
mer months when the children were
not at school. In the case of Public
School s the statement Of Mr.. Prall is
New-York tribune., 1921-10-21

directly refuted In tho present condi-
tion, and the smell Of fresh paint per
meates the stuffy interior classrooms.
Tho crowding in Public School 5, as in
all the other elementary schools
throughout the city, Is directly due to
the fact that Mayor Hylan has provided
only 1881 new seats for the schools
durine his administration. as compared
with A6.100 new seats provided by his
predecessor.
The physical conditions in Public
School s also are evidence of the neg
lect of the schools by the Hylan ad-
ministration. The plaster is falling off
the walls in many places and the
wooden flooring of the Railways and
cassrooms is worn through almost TO
the point of danger. The paint is chip
ping and falling of the ceilings. The
c'assrooms ore arranged on the sliding
door principle, which leaves many in
terror rooms when the floors are not
being used for assembly purposes.

from above could he be seen and he
knew it. He looked up at Sammy
Jay, and If looks could kill, then
Sammy Jay would have dropped dead
right then and there. But looks
cannot kill and Sammy kept right on
screaming.
Buster Bear understood perfectly
what it meant. He shuffied straight
toward the spot where Old Man Coy
ote was hiding, and as he came he
growled. 1t was deep, grumbIv.
rumbly growl way down in his throat.
Old Man Coyote remained just aa
long as he dared. But presently he
was obliged to jump to his feet and
run.
lnstantl-' Buster Bear rushed after
him, growing terribly, and Old Man
Coyote took to his heels. Buster
followed him only very short dis
tance, for Buster knew full we'll that
he hadn't the smallest chance in the
world of catching Old Man Coyote.
He was satisfied to drive him away.
Get away from here and keep
away" growled Buster in his deepest
voice. you have no right here. and
ou know it. This is the truce OF
the beechnuts, and there will be no
killing here's
Old Man Coyote sat down st safe
distance and grinned fooishly. He
knew that Buster Bear spoke truly.
and as long as Buster and Mrs. Bear
were there he would not dare ,trv
again to catch anybody. Buster
shuffied back and began to nose
about among the leaves like nothing
50 much as n great black pig, and
all the other little people went
about their business of hunting for
those little, sweet, brown nuts lust
as if nothing had happened.
