strong doubts were entertained both in this county and
In Europe ~ to whether Germany would ever nav any

The large payment which will be necessary will cAl
for equally large taxes. The Germans have groaned un.

they have been taxing themselves for their own sdomes.
tic purposes and the Allies have very naturally taken the
position that their claims come first, that Germany must
meet those claims under whatever assets she has, and
must then make such arrangements as she can to provide
for her domestic necessities. The German authorities
have concluded that this plan is necessary and it is now
proposed that a general mortgage. in effect, shall be
placed upon all property in Germany amounting to ap,
proxirnately one-third of its value, this step being taken
As . means OF raising funds. Necessary to meet the repa.
rations claim. The extra tax thus levied. will apply to
property of all kinds: the stocks Of goods in stores, man.
utactured articles in factories. land. buildings, and in fact
everything that has . commercial value. The proceas OF
payment will be a long one and will impose many hard
ships; but the ~hardships thus imposed will not be as great
as those imposed upon the citizens Of other countries by
the wrong-doing of Germany. and 1t is entirely just and
proper that Germany should bear az least as heavy a load
as she is able to bear in order to make some compensa-
ton for her acts.

WORLD SAVERS.

The man who sets out to resenerate the world by the
method of tearing everything up by the roots is usually
found to be in need Of regeneration himself. There seems
to be some mysterious connection between >radtcalism and
physical, mental and moral uncleaniness. Your radical
reforner Is quite apt to be found sadly in need of = bath
Take the case of the Reverend Bouck White, whose
young wife is seeking the annulnaent Of her marriage to
him. and whose neishhors down in Massachusetts, became
so incensed at his behavior that they decorated him with
4 coat of tar and feathers. The youms wiA has testified
and the testimony is corroborated-that the home to
which this uplifter took her was too filthy for occupancy,
that the food which was provided was az, foul as the sur
roundings. and that her husband, instead Of trying to
clean the place up and provide decent meals would lee
ture her for hours on the reformation Of the world and
the part which they were to play as the center Of a re-
generating and revivifying group.
II wanted just a home" said the young woman. "a
clean. decent place. I did not want to change the world.
I did not want to be the leader of any radical community
I did not even want to be q radical
This disinusoned wife seems to be Just an Ordinary
human sort Of a person. She wants what most normal
people want. a real home, decent surroundings, children,
the respect Of the community the consciousness Of =
clean life And instead. this creator of a new world Of
fered her dirt, stale bread. tsst years butter. and q night.

she gets It. #

swATTING THE FIJI.

F1y-tine continues from the last Of the spring frosta
until the severe weather begins in the fall. and during all
that time we are urgently advised to swat the ,fy. The ad.
vice Is good and should be followed: but swating the fs
will not get rid of the pest. 1t is impossible to swat all
the flies that there are. All that can be done by the
swattng method is to destroy = few of the insects which
places are maintained in proximity to human habitation
Flies will multiply rapidly and will invade living quarters
Of all kinds and dehle food in spite Of all the -swattins
that can be done. swatting is good as far as It goes. 1t
goes ony q little way. It should be the accompaniment of
other methods Of ny prevention. the most important OF
which is to maintain clean premises and clean surround
ings. More good can be done By a little cleaning up oc-
Ing is done and done thoroughly. and if things are kept
clean. the amount Of yswattinE to be done will be reduced
to the minimum.

CHAPTER XIV.

The Marquis, with an after break
fast cigarette in bis mouth, strolled
out of his front door. a few morn
inss later. to find himself face to face
with Richard Won't. HI called Letitia,
who was behind.
The worst has happened" he
sroaned.
Letiua stood by her fathers nde
and looked across the stone flags,
across h the venue, with its central
bed of gay-co}ored flowers, the ring
fence. the moat, the few yards Of
park. to where, just inside his little
enclosed garden. Richard Won't was
seated. directly facing them.
Well. you expected it, didn't you,
father" h observed.
All the same" the Marquis declar.

thing to have a man seated there

door, with a Bible on his knee, ours

mar must have been grossly misman-

The Marquis sighed YEARLY.
Your outlook, Won't" he said, "is
full of prejudice and utterly illogical.
I found qualities in your daughter

engrossing life ever since she left
your home. such a life as she could
not possibly have lived under your
roof or in this part Of the world. In
every way that counts. she has PROS

consider the matter. I claim that any
wrong I-may have done you is, expiat-

the scornful answer. You clever folk
who can crowd your brain with
thoughts and ideas from books
you've no room there for the Big
things. You've so many little weeds
growing up around that the, flower
doesn't count. Nought that you can
say about Marcia can alter matters.
I'd sooner have seen her married to
the poorest creature on your land
than to know that she has lived as
your dependent for all these years."

rowfully.

Bernard NJ. Barueh, an American business man Of
international reputation. who held highly important po-
sitions and performed important duties during the war,
has been charged. in substance, with defraudins the gov
eminent which he pretended to serve. The charges have
not been made formally on officially. or in the form which
makes 1t easy for the accused to bring his accusers into
court and require them to snbstAntiAte their statements.
Accordingly. Mr.. Baruch has appealed to congress to in
satute an investigation to the end that the facts may be
ascertained; that if he is guilty his guife may be proven.
and il he is not guilty the falsity OF the charges may be
made plain.
Mr.. Barueh Is entitled to this opportunity to vindi-
cate himself. He says that II he has committed the acts
cusers are liars, as he maintains, they merit a worse fate
for traducing An innocent man who sought to do hts duty
by his country. and did IT TO the best Of his ability.
There is too strong = tendency to assume that be-

more the fact that one Of . mans most precious POSSESSIONS
is his good name. Men who have Been called to fill hon

because Of no apparent motive than the desire to spread
unsavory gossip. In the eaSe Of Ne Raruch. there has
never been any apparent reason to suppose him guilty OF
