GERMAN PAYMENT
is HELD POSSIBLE
Might Give Advantage to Beaten No.
ton Later, Is View-PossibiIity
of Collecting Doubtful.

LONDON-The question of settling
the reparation problem was the weeks
financial topic of interest The huge
sum named at the Paris conference
caused much rejoicing among those
French and British enthusiasts most
keenly DESTROYS of making Germany
pay for the war damage. The ques-
tion of the possibility of this payment
and-if possible-the reaction of the
payment on industry of allied and
other countries, form an afterthought
which raises considerable doubt on the
whole problem.
1t now looks as if the allied lead
ers had arranged the whole affair
with the design, first, of cheering up
their lingo supporters by the prospect
of huge payment; second, of show
ing the great and almost insuperable
difficulty of enforcing payment, and
finally of showing the adverse reac.
tions on the economic prosperity OF
the victorious powers if payment were
successfully enforced.
The staggering sum mentioned
naturally evokes an outburst OF
chauvinist Joy from the victors and
a storm of protest from Germany, but
the sum becomes much smaller when
allowance is made for the fact that
payments are spread over a long
period of years.

Matrimonial Oddities.

In bygone days In India women were
sometimes allowed to choose their own
husband. One of their old fairy tales
tells of fair princess, who, after a
tournament. placed a garland around
the neck of knight who had won her
heart.
Among the Eskimos of the east coast
of Greenland man captures the girl
he wants, but from that time on the
usual order of things Is reversed. He
has to exercise the greatest vigilance
to prevent her from clipping with any
other man whom she may prefer. as
this seems to be her privilege. In the
northern New Hebrides bride who
Is unhappy seeks the earliest oppor-
tunity of running away from her hus-
band and seeking home with some
man she likes better. II her parents
cannot induce her to return to the In
jured husband they usually send him
a pig to soothe his wounded feelings.
