A Fascinating Puzzle.

THOSE who are fond of puzzles may find this
i countrys foreign affairs full of fascination.
The simpler the policy may look, the more may be
read into it, that is not there, and the what
seems evident may be placed and replaced, shifted
and shuffled to make patterns to be called Will
son or Roosevelt Harding Hughes, any other
name regarded as distinctive
So some agile, flexible mind may conceive that
back of the latest German reparation moves, may be
desire of the present French government to have
the United States gently, by process of friendly
propulsion have it accept the latest German offer.
This is reported to be close to the minimum the
French have said they would accept but without
the added tariff penalty, the German customs du-
ties being only pledged to meet the annual pay
ments of the bulk amount.
No French government would dare accept less
than the full 226ooo 100000 gold marks with the
per cent tariff added. No settlement indeed. will
fully satisfy France that does not include further
occupation of Germany and collection on the spot
But if Premier BRAND was with kindness and tact
compelled by his countrys supposedly best friend
to accept less, it might relieve him and France from
a very embarrassing position
So it is the human mind works. So it is that
men read into problems of which they know little
nothing fascinating bits of romance. If it should
come true, they are wise men and prophets. If
something very different eventuates they try an
other guess at something else. They have had
their fun for their pains, and one is hurt.

RUSSIAN PARADE.
q IRaItirore sunl

There is a very marked conflict
of opinion in England on the sub
ject Of the trade agreement with
Soviet Russia, the London Morning
Post, the unyielding advocate OF
conservatism, denouncing the COM
pact as an "unclean thing" fraught
with danger to civilization. The
London Chronicle and the Daily
News regard 1t from the traders
standpoint of commercial necessity
and benefit, and the News, espe-
cially. has no patience with "the
meaningless rhetoric of blind
hatred" where a pretty penny can
be turned. In France, apparently,
the first announcement OF a deal in
which Great Britain has selected a
rather queer partner seems to have
caused little, IL any, excitement.
French official circles are said to
regard the agreement as unwork-
able and as merely "a sort of future
Investment which will partly pla-
cate the British radical element and
the first opportunity for trade when

(Philadelphis Public-Ledger)
The compact for trade between
Great Britain and Soviet Russia
puts one in mind of DR.. Johnson's
definition OF a second marriage as
the triumph OF hope over experience.

amined the assets OF the frm of

declared themselves dissatisfied.
What the trading world of hard
headed business men and financiers
must have Is the assurance that
the Bolshevists will pay for what
they take: that when they have
once got the stuff they want TO
their side of the line they will not
snap their fingers at all promises to

FIND NEW THERMOMETER
CELEBRATION POINT.

A new fixed point on the Their
mometric scale has been found by
Frederick Bates and F. p. Phelps,
of the Bureau Of Standards and was
reported upon by them at the
meeting of the American Physical
Society.
Working with thermocouple
they have noted that there Is a re-
arrangement of the atoms Of quartz
at a definite temperature near SIS
degrees centigrade, and this can be
detected with a galvanometer and
can be used for the celebration OF
delicate thermocouples used in high
temperature work.
Quartz from all parts of the
world act the same way, their tests
show, and this provides a simple.
easily obtained, universal cAlibrat-
ing material.

TELLS OF FAITH
IN SCHOOL. GIRLS.
Miss Gertrude ,Prack. one of the
national secretaries of girls work
OF the Y. w. C. A., in an interview
yesterday at local headquarters
gave convincing reasons for her
faith in the school girls Of America.
MY work with the Girl Re-
serves" said Miss Prack. brings
me into close relation with girls
between the ages OF IL and Is in
varied localities. From this con-
tact I feel quslined to state that
II sincerely believe the spirit of our
young girls Is willing and eager
for the best. and only needs proper
direction"
This leadership Miss Prack be-
lieyed the girls of school age who
were members of the Girl Reserves
a Y. w. C. A. organization. were
receiving.
GIRL RESERVE IS
NOT GIRL SCOUT.
Can q girl be a Girl Reserve and
a Girl Scout at the same timer
Miss Prack was asked.
mo-" she replied. I'VE do not be-
lieve that a girl can do justice to
herself or to either organization
when she belongs to both. Her &C.
tivities must be concentrated in Or
der to be OF benefit to her. We
cooperate with similar organiza-
tions so that there will be no over.
tapping. However. the fundamental
purpose of the Girl Reserves is
somewhat different from that OF
kindred bodies"
Miss Prack believes that many
attempts at so-called Americaniza-
tion have been faulty. resulting
therefore in no real good but rather
in the creation of antagonism and
suspicion among the newcomers &c
America.
RESERVES BEST WORK
WITH FOREIGNERS.
Especially interesting and salts,
factory" declared Miss Prack, has
been our work with what We term
our foreign element. No people are
more responsive and appreciative
than they when they really know
what our attitude, is towards them
and that this attitude is one OF
helpfulness and understanding"
Heretofore the American for
many generations has made the
newcomer feel that he was inferior
in every respect; that no custom or
ideal of his was worth more than a
condescending smile or jeer. The
mere fact that he was not an Amer
lean put him beyond the pale as II
were, and little conscientious effort
was made sympathetically to incor-
porate him into the life Of America" ="
MISS PRACK EMPHASIZES
AUGMENTATION WORK.
In the department of girls work
of the Y. w. c. A. Miss Prack said
that especial emphasis was laid on
the responsibility Of the American
born girl in setting an example for
her foreign sister newly arrived in
this country. In discussing this en-
ulation of the American girl Miss
Prack recounted an instance when
an Italian girl, a new member Of a
Girl Reserve Club. appeared at one
of the meetings delightedly clad in
extremely high-heeled shoes. re-
markably scant skirt and a diaph-
anous eeorgette blouse. and wear
ing her hair arranged with volu-
minous ear puffs-in fact, represent
ing in dress everything that the
Girl Reserves oppose. Beaming with
pleasure she asked the girls how
they liked her. and when they
chorused their disapproval she WILT
ed. remarking with tears in her eyes
that she thought she looked so
American"
She evidently had gotten her idea
of the American girl somewhere"
concluded Miss Prack.

The force OF financial power con-
trolled by the nations farmers can
be appreciated" said Secretary Ly-
man today. when government re
ports are studied. These show that

 How Accident Happened.
 The accident which caused the death of the three unfortunates is ono of the worst to happen along tlIs branch of tho New Haven road. It appears that the colored woman and her granddaughter who had just r"' turned from a trip to South Carolina were in Beckley but wished to come to Berlin in n hurry. Instead Of waiting for a train or walking tne roadway they decided to follow the railroad tracks. Mrs. Mollie Jones and granddaughter were about to walk across the trcstlc when BenJh- min Reminis saw them and offered to aid tho aged colored woman to tho other side. They were over two-thirds of the way across the trestlc when the train came along from Mlddletown, struck them from behind and threw them into the river. If they had been able to have gone ahead about two feet they would have been on land and safe. It is evident that one Of tho party must have struck on I sharp edge of dirt covered with snow which projected into the water for q. short distance as 1t was covered with blood.
 Difficult to Find Bodies.
 The man was taken to the New Britain hospital but died a short while after being received ,hcre. Neither of the bodies of the cOlOred people could he found. A searching party dragged the river with graP. bling hooks and long poles until they camo across the body of the Joung girl about one hundred feet from the trestle The body ot the child was badly cut. The accident happened about SIS and the searching party was on the scene until o'clock Sun day morning but no trace of the old woman could he found.
