PARIS, Juno 1.-THE proposed
scheme for great international
loan, to be foated largely in Amer
ica. for the purpose OF putting Ger
many and France on their feet. has
been abandoned As q result of the
Walter Rathenau. German minister
OF reconstruction. and NJ. Loucheur.
French minister for liberated re-
gions, 1t was learned today.
NJ Loucheur has Just returned
from Wiesbaden. making a report to
Premier BRAND upon the result OF
his conversations with the German
cabinet member.
Rathenau was understood to have
reported that an investigation by
German fnanciers showed there was
no chance of German loan being
roated in the United States at this
time
HAVE NEW PROPOSAL
While the conference failed to
produce positive results il is expect
ed German experts win arrive in
Paris soon with concrete proposals
for an international loan. ".
Rathenau said that German cabinet
members and hnanciers were work
ing on plans, which II successful
would put Germany in position to
make bigger indemnity payments
than she had originally deemed pos
sible. These payments. however. will
be made in goods. German recon
struction OF war devastated French
areas also was discussed. M.
Loucheur estimated, however, that
German efforts in this direction
would reduce the total indemnity
liabilities only between 10000, 900. 900
and 5000 900, 900 gold marks.
The conversations demonstrated
O nboth sides there exists a willing
ness to treat grave questions from

CAKES BY PARCEL POST
How They May Be Sent By
 Mail Without Injuring

Cakes can be sent long dis tances by parcel post without so much as cracking the icing, if they are packed in this way.
 Place the cake on a large sheet of heavy waxed paper and apply the frosting allow ing a generous portion of the frosting to extend on the paper. Mastering the cake to the paper helps to hold it in posi- tion. Fold the rest of the paper neatly around the cake and slip under it piece of card board the exact size of the cake. Put both cake and board into light wooden box. Fill the box with sawdust or bran, which should be allowed to settle to the bottom of all the crevices. Wrap the box in heavy paper and tie it with a strong cord.

CHRISTMAS THE BIG
 COMMUNITY HOLIDAY
Should Not Be Confined To the Family But Should Be
 General Day Fest

CHRISTMAS should not be confined to our own family. Christmas is of all days Con- munity Holiday and the entire community should be taken in for celebrating the occasion. Every community should have in the local church, or school house Christmas exercises of some sort or other. The giving of recitations is one of the best trainings for children and can not be started too soon. As soon as they are able to lisp they should be given a part in Christmas entertainments. 1t is a means of much pleasure to them and something they will remember as long as they live.
 Christmas in the country of all places, should be commu- nity holiday. It's too big a thing to be kept all within your family.

CH RIS TMAS
 DOES NOT STAND ALONE

Sz- VI NY NA " NSA NY N NY VI. N VI Ns'
 IF CHRISTMAS stood alone it would be an idle mockery. But it does not stand alone. It is part of a year. Yet it is a peculiar part. It is that brief period in which the child rules the world.
 It marks nowadays the cul- imitation of a civilization which has a leading principle. The selfish, the hard, the grasping and the unsparing are out and apart that one week from the great flowing tide of development of the worlds progress. The man or woman who does not know this or see it or feel 1t is alien to the Christian spirit and to all the products wrought by the Christ spirit in twenty centu- ries past.
 Christmas day, then, brings a message. But it also sings a song of hope and calls aloud a prophecy The message is that gentleness is stronger far than force and that the great est power on earth is the com polling power of tenderness.
 Every Christmas tree is lit With that light. The great flood of presents bears this as it's message. The cheer and and charity of the whole sea- son are fed by it's love.
