Wage Campaign Against
Selling Out of Germany

Coblenz, Germany, Dec. 2..-Ger-
man newspapers for weeks have been
waging, campaign of protest against
what -is termed thel ling ~<autj of
Germany" to foreigners who have IL
vaded the country to purchase goods
since the mark began it's sharp decline
early in October.
The mark has fallen in value much
faster than the prices advanced and,
as consequence, thousands of specu-
lators have been attracted to Germany
to take advantage of the situation.
In the occupied area the influx of
foreigners became so great within
few days that the Allied authorities
soon decided that some cocnerted ac-
tion was necessary to protect the res
idents.
The president of the Rhincland
province, acting under direction of the
Inter-Allied Rhineland High Commits
sion, issued decree prohibiting pur-
chase of merchandise by foreigners
not actually residing with nthe ter
ritory of occupation. This order does
not affect members of the Allied mil
itary forces, the Rhineland commits
sion nor other foreigners who were in
the occupied area on legitimate busi-
ness.
Officials deemed that this step to.
ward trade regulation was necessary
to prevent retailers from selling all
their stocks to foreigners taking ad-
vantage of the low rate Of exchange
on foreign currencies at time when
the price on goods in the German
stores had not been advanced, or at
least not marked up in comparison
with the depreciation of the German
money.
For days, buyers poured into the
Rhineland on every train, and by auto
mobile from Holland, Belgium, Lux
embourg, France and other nearby
countries and business in the stores
of Coblenz, Cologne and Aix-la-C Chap
pelle flourished as it never had be-
fore. The foreigners bought every
thing on sale and in whatever guam
tity could be arranged with the retail
er. This abnormal demand for goods
continued for days and reached such
stage at times that storekeepers found
it necessary to close their doors, be-
cause of the crowds, or because the
shelves were empty. Clerks worked
16 and 18 hours a day trying to keep
up with the demand.
Many articles of American manu-
facture are on sale in Coblenz stores
at retail prices much lower than in
the United States, taking into consid-
Grafton the rate of exchange. 1t is
explained here that these goods came
from surplus army stocks in France
which at various times since the arm
istice have been disposed of by the
United States liquidation commission
to Germans and merchants of various
other countries.

There is one phase Of the arms lin
itation conference that is overlooked,
and yet is playing most vital part in
the conference. The agc-long diver
gence between Christian ethics and
paganism. The element Of paganism
is not all OH the side of the heathen.
We have considerable amount Of
paganism of our own. The lines draw
do not correspond to race or color.
strictly speaking Those who line up
on one side or the other often do no;
realize the real facts. But Christian
idealism and bold paganism are in
conflict. This has been the situation
heretofore, and will be the situation
for long time to come. Pagan idea
and ideals "scrappcd" the league OF
nations. And pagan idea and ideals
will scrap" the conference, or at
least, doctor it up so that it will Ee
practically useless.

"Estampage" Dangerous
To Touring

Paris, Dec. Tt is not only Am
ericans or other foreigners who find
that the tourist or visitor is charged
excessive prices in France, Maurice
Rondet-Saint, a well-known French
writer, has an article in the Renais
sance in which he points out how
dangerous "estampage" is to touring,
and what eventual loss it involves,
The word "estampage" is a die
tionary word for punching holes M
metal and is as much slang in France
for over-charging and such like as
"skinning" client is in English.
"The hotel industry" he writes,
"has undoubtedly suffered from the
increased cost of living, still ii must
be admitted that number of those
directing it, if not all, have taken ad-
vantage of the difficulties of the
times to look upon the unhappy in.
dividual who has been misled into
entering their establishments as
something that can be carved and
sweated at mercy, from whom the ut
most must be squeezed without
smashing the screws"
There was a great outcry last year
against the exigencics of hotel keep
ers and owners of villas offered for
rent but money was then more easy
than now and the s ason passed fair
ly well. This year many villas have
failed to be taken and the season
would have been disastrous but for
the English who came to take ad-
vantage of the exchange.
In certain resorts in the Pyrenees,
where the natives seek to live the
whole year on the profits gained in
six to eight weeks, all sign posts and
similar indications were removed, so
that a guide became necessary for
almost every excursion. Nj. Rondet-
Saint adds:
Except for one or two special re
sorts, touring has markedly fallen off
this year and unless some under
standing is reached to stabilize prices
at fair figure, travelling for pleas
urc will be abandoned and one of the
elements which contained the great
est promise for general prosperity
will be killed by the incapacity of
some and the rapacity of others"

German People Employed

Cologne, Dec. 7.-Germany at the
present time has fewer unemployed
than any period within the last Ia
years according to labor officials. In
the mining industry, the building
trade and the chemical industry the
number of vacancies exceeds that of
the unemployed. The total number
of persons unemployed on October /
was 189,407.
Germans export business is boom
ing for the present, due partly TO the
low rate of exchange of the mark

Lincoln, May l5.-(Speeial. Gov.
5. R. McKelvie announced today
that the contract for the new capitol
building will be awarded the first
Of next year and that by then prices
on materials probably will be re-
duced 80 per cent. The announce
ment followed a meeting of the state
capitol commission. Governor Nc
Kelvic is chairman of the commits
sion.
Under present plans, ifs carried
out, the new building will be ready
for occupancy by state officers at
The close of the next legislative ses-
,ion. The new building is to be
built around the old one and in the
erection will progress in such way
That there will be room for the Off
GERS in the new building before the
old one is torn down.
The most recent plan is to put
the memorial hall for display OF
art and placing of exhibits at the
top of the 80-ioot central tower.
There is row on as to whether
there shall be buffalocs at the top of
the tower or whether some other
work OF sculpture shall occupy this
space. The buffaloes, it is claimed,
standing high over Lincoln will carry
with them sentiment OF the old
days when buffaloes haunted the
plains OF Nebraska and now from
their place of vantage look over the
plains that once were their domain.

Do Some Substances Explode.

Mention Of the word explosion"
usually brings to mind some sub
stance like gunpowder, nitro-glycer
inc or INT generally used for
the explosions which are premcdi-
tated, and, to certain degree, con-
trolled by man. But it should be re-
lnembered that there ar. a number
OF other substances, apparently
harmless in themselves. which can
explode with terrific effect. Steam,
for example, if too closely confined,
will burst boiler and do almost
as much damage as she'll. Grai.,
dust. coal dust or the fine dust sus-
pended in the air of sawinills is eH
tremcly dangerous on account OF
this tendency, for the generation OF
heat from some unexpected source
may cause it to shatter the elevator
or mill which contains it.
There is, however, a difference be-
tween what might be called mat
nral' explosions of this kind and the
artificial" explosions of gunpow Ter
and nitro -glycerine. The first are
due to heat which causes sudden
burning OF the particles of dust near
it and a consequent expansion of the
air which almost instantaneously be-
comes an irresistible force. In the
case OF gunpowder and allied explo-
sives the result is due to the pres
ence Of chemicals which burn With
great rapidity' without having to
come in contact with the air, and in
burning, these chemicals release
large quantities of gas. 1t is the at
tempts of this gas to escape from
the container which confines it, that
causes what we allude to as an eek
plosion just as the steam in boit-
er is constantly trying to escape,
and, unless safety valve relieves
the pressure. it will eventually shat
ter the strongest steel.

:lives until the sun goes down" is
clearly inherited from Egyptian
nythology-the story of Horus and
the great serpent Apap, the symbol
OF darkness and evil. Horus repre-
sented the rising sun and the sun in
its progress across the arch OF the
heavens. But the setting sun was
his father, Osiris And when Osiris
died upon the western horizon, killed
by Apap, Horus avenged the murder
by Staying the serpent of evil. The
connection between the death of the
sun and the complete death of the
snake is obvious. 1t should be stated

To crowd in the lobbes and galleries,
And again will there be any doubt
