Uncle Harry. you have talked TO
us quite a lot about Germany in con-
nection with the payment Of the
reparations to the Allies" said Jim
my "but you haven't told US any
thing about conditions in Germany.
mean about business, industry and
what the German people are doing"
Yes, Jimmy, what you say Is
true" replied Uncle Harry. For
some time past we have had so many
subjects to discuss that I have been
able only to touch on Germany in a
general way. So am glad you
brought up this subject of conditions
in Germany because It is an inn
portant one, not only in so far as the
German nation is concerned. but be-
cause in a way, conditions in Ger
many are key to conditions
throughout Europe. on the whole 1
should say that conditions in Ger
many are very much better than
they have been for a long time.
A Definite Program Ahead.
1.-THE acceptance by the German
government of the Allies reparation
claims, after all the long negotia-
tions, is expected to have a very
beneficial effect not only on Ger
many but on all of Europe. As long
as this question remained unset
tied, business and Industrial condi-
tons throughout Europe were sure
to be likewise unsettled. Now that
Germany has accepted the Allies
terms the other countries know just
what they may expect from Germany
and Germany knows exactly what
she must do. SO far as Germany is
concerned, this means that the Ger
man people and German industries
now have before them definite pro-
gram Of the money that must be
raised through taxes to pay the AL
lies. The government can make it's
plans and businesses and industries
and the people can, for the first time
since the armistice, make their plans.
Reports that have been coming
from Germany recently indAate that
the people there have realized for
some time that they must agree to
the Allies terms and therefore they
have been endeavoring to improve
business conditions, increase produc-
ton and employment and generally
get back as nearly as possible to
conditions as they were before the
war.
Foreign Trade Increasing.
Just the other day / was reading
two or three articles that told about
the general Improvement OF condi-
tions in Germany. One writer who
recently travelled through Germany
says that the German industries are
now trading with Holland, Belgium,
Russia, italy, Switzerland, Austria.
spain and England; that the Ger
man railroads are getting back to
their old-time schedules, that fac
tories are beginning to turn out
I large quantities OF goods and that
German statesmen are commencing to
make trips into foreign countries.
Another article that read told how
the value of German imports into
the United States has increased from
about s10.500.00O in 1919 to almost
$50, 100000 in 1920.

NEW YORK, June s Omitted Press)
The British steamer seapool which
struck an icebreg off the New
Foundland coast was damaged but is
safe, according to a wireless receiv-
ed by the naval radio station here
today.
The message sent at $40 a m,
stated:
Proceeding on course. Fore
peak full OF water"
Naval radio officers said the near
est ship to the Seapool, which left
Montreal for Dublin on June 2. was
the steamer Orduna. She was about
$50 miles to the eastward.
Icebergs have been causing trou-
BILE in the North Atlantic for more
than a week. Ordinarily they fioat
down later in the summer. The
Saxonia, docking almost two weeks
ago, was the first liner to report a
delay this summer due to encounter
ing a number OF the floating mon
sters.

and the Rochambeau apparently are

A great number Of American Ro-

In all there we're about fifty pas

At the French line offices It was
stated that the Rochambeau was
mentioned in rumors of disaster be-

for help. The liner is safe. so far
as her owners know.
The vessel reports regularly every
afternoon and there was no alarm
over failure to receive word today.
