COLOR CHEMISTS RETTER
GERMAN DNE METHODS.

Lowering the cost Of manufac-
ture of a dye intermediate SO that
American makers can sell il To

neighbor, in direct competition
with German manufacturers. is the
achievement of the Color Labors-
tory Of the Bureau Of Chemistry OF

out under the direction OF Dr. II. u.

facture OF more than 500 chemicals.
IL is an intermediate in the manu-
facture of several brilliant dyes.
one of which is indigo. The process
discovered by the specialists OF the
Bureau Of Chemistry makes it pos
sible to use atmospheric air in
making phthalic snhydride from
naphthaline. This process is much
cheaper than the one previously
employed by the Germans. which
requires the use of sulphuric acid
and mercury instead of air.

Cermaany's Next Move

IL is too early to judge the effect of the allied
i occupation of additional German territory on
the ultimate settlement of the reparation problem.
The failure of the occupation to result in any i'm
mediate change in the German attitude has encour-
aged the French Natonasts to. renew their de-
mands that the concessions offered Germany under
the Paris agreement be held no longer binding and
that France, with without the allies, seize and
hold German territory until Germany meets her
obligations defined in the treaty.
Since it is well known that Germany cannot pay
in full the total amount of reparatons for which she
is liable, what M. Poincare really proposes is the
indefinite, perpetual occupation by France of a
very rich section of German territory For the time
being, however, until it has been shown that the
occupation and the customs arrangement are clear
ly ineffective and unproductive, Premier Brands
more moderate policy will not be abandoned.
As the situation stands now the future of the
negotiations depends in a great measure the
tactics of the extremists in Berlin and the ex-
tremists in Paris. If the reactonaries of Berlin
are powerful enough to force their government to
follow an arrogant and uncompromising policy, they
will prove to be the most valuable allies of the
Nationasts of Paris who still cherish the hope of
establishing the French frontier on the Rhine and
OF rendering Germany permanently incapable of
ever becoming the military economic rival of
France.

Ever since the advent Of electric

varying from a few months to sew
eral years. The injury to pines due
to this cause is known as
'electrolysis'
1t is estimated that the damage

amounts to many millions of dollars
annually. For a number Of years
the Bureau of Standards has been
studying this subject with a view
OF Improving methods OF testing
for troubles Of this kind. and OF de-
veloping improved methods of pre-
venting the damage.
In the past, engineers inVestigat-
ing electrolysis troubles have been
greatly handicapped by the lack OF
suitable methods OF testing The
trouble is caused primarily not by
the current flowing on the pipe, but
by the current which is leaving the
pipe and flowing through the earth
at any particular point. In order
to determine accurately the degree
OF danger to which the pipe is sub
jected. il is therefore necessary TO
measure the strength Of this cur
rent leaking on the pipe at any
point. but heretofore there has been
no method available "A for making
measurements of this kind.
This new method will enable en-
gineers to proceed much more def

BILE from this cause" said McCol-
lum. Current leaking from the
pipe into the earth can now be-
measured without the necessity of
making expensive excavations or
cutting the pavement under which
the pipes are usually laid, and the
testing can be carried out very
rapidly and cheaply. 4 number ~

Government Employees.

TOVERNMENT employees are of all classes,
" all grades and all kinds. 1t is useless to call
some OF them of no value, time wasters, holders of
snecures and political hangers-on. That is not the
issue. Probably some in the several hundred thou
sand can be SO described but if so, it is rather
their misfortune than their fault
They were all named to supposed Job with
stated requirements. If the job does not supply
full days work, they not to blame Some
individuals may be overpaid; some may have little
to do, but very many underpaid and are giving
exceedingly valuable service with long hours for
very much less than they deliver. ..-
The truth is that the multitude of agencies
which make up the administrative division of the
government do not rightly function Many are out
nor through coordination, eliminate waste motion
and duplication.
The problem seems to be largely one of group
ing to bring together, comparatively bodies with
related work or duties. Just as an example: There
are in the Navy Department bureau of naviga-
ton, the photographic office and the naval OBJ
seratory! But the weather bureau is in AgricuIture
another bureau of navigation, one of lghthousing
of steamboat inspection and of coast and geodetic
survey, in Commerce; the inland and coast
survey is in the army and the coast guard in the
Treasury Department.
If each governmental function was grouped as
a whole, then there should be no superfluous Jobs
no sinecures and pay could be fairly based upon
production value. In that event also it might be
possible that Congress would do as has often
been proposed, give departments lump sum for
salary disbursements with only general classi
icaton.

British-R Russian Treaty

~ MONG the domestic problems with which the
A British coalition government has had to deal,
unemployment has been the most difficult and. be-
cause of the strength of the British Labor party,
politically the most serious. Labor, and to some
extent, employers fixed upon a trade agreement with
Russia as means by which the government could
secure market for British goods and provide en-
ployment for British labor
They supported this contention by pointing out
thatthe volume of foreign trade of England has de-
creased ssince the last year of the war by 20 per
cent; that exports shipped directly to Central Europe
and Russia are less than one-tenthr what they were
before the war And since, because of their impov-
erished condition, there is little hope that the
states of Central Europe will be able for consider

TN THE years that are gone those cities and re-

The Next Generation.

.HNE of the most serious aspects of the German
~ attitude toward reparations and all of the
results of the war, is the inevitable effect upon
the coming generation. The young of today are
being systematically taught that the German armies
were not dedicated in the war, that the soil of
Germany was not touched by hostile feet and that
Germany alone withstood, to draw, the combined
armies of France, Great Britain the United States
and Belgium
They are being trained in spirit of bitterness
and hatred. They are told that Germany was forced
into the war; that she was circed by enemies
jealous of her power and commerce. who combined
to crush her That she fought not aggression, but
in defense of the fatherland and won
Germany's schools are her own She teaches
there what she will and the history of the war
will be what Germany chooses to make it for her
children They will be told as they are told
that what could not be done in war is attempted
through the treaty of peace. That the allies have
undertaken to ensave the German people through
reparations and to ruin her industries to keep her
suPservient and make recovery impossible
: The result aimed at will be largely affected and
every mark of tax, of labor, of saving that goes
to pay for, Germany's wul destruction in Belgium
and France will seem blood money wrung from
innocence. The spirit of revenge will be fostered
that when Germany is again ready to strike she
will have people willing and eager.
