BEARS BAD CHARACTER.

Time was when Germany's bond, even her word was
accepted at face value and no questions asked. She
enjoyed a high financial standing in the world. Now
that she must issue reparations bonds the question
arises, who will take them? The debt covered by them
is owed to France and Great Britain and they of ne
eessity must accept them The United States is ex-
pected to absorb something like two hundred million.
This will be done, but the international bankers say
Germany has a bad character with reference to fl
nsncial dealings and such bonds as they accept must
be guaranteed by France and Britain These nations
can no doubt secure all the American money they de-
sire for their own purposes for they deal honorably,
but ne American banker will loan Germany money on
ner bonds with her present reputation. To make the
guarantee good France will have to keep an army on
the Rhine ready to march if the interest payments are
not paid promptly.
1t was the elder Morgan who once said, the wise
money lender gave more weight to the character of
bear a good character. When she cuts out her bluffs
about never paying her debts and returns to the old
time German spirit of promptness and scrupulous hon
esty her standing at the bank will be improved.

THE ANcLo-JAPANEsE ALLIANCE.

'The British Imperial conference which is to meet
soon will pass on the question of continuing the
AngioJapanese alliance" observes the New York
Tribune. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa are opposed to renewing the treaty as it stands.
II it is renewed they want to give it a form which will
be less Objectionable to the United States. The do
minions, whose policy on Japanese immigration is in
harmony with ours, do not care to be tied up TO a
compact which might compel them to support Japan
in case of a break between Japan and the United
States on the immigration or race discrimination is
sue.
"The present treaty between Japan and Great Bri-
lain is defensive in character and binds each power to
protect the others interests in the Far East if either
is attacked by a third power. Great Britain's sup
port is made conditional by a clause exempting her
from any obligation to make war on a third power
with which she has a general treaty of arbitration. It
is open to dispute whether or not any existing treaty
between the United States and Great Britain satisfies
that definition.

on this score removed and to put themselves in a posi-

OMIT THE

A New Jersey congressman has hoped into fame by
his resolution to require the singing of the Star
SpangIed Banner Immediately following prayer by the
chaplain at the opening sessions of the house of rep
resentatives. The resolution does not provide for a
paid choir which it should have done for trouble
will doubtless be found in pitching the tune' in that
difficult hymn, in a congregation more accustomed to
chanting 1.-THE Gangs All Here"
1t can be recalled, how, during the war, we butch
cred the national hymn in our efforts to put it over
1t was sad, very sad. and what a lot of congressman
will do to it will be sadder still. We cannot imagine
that patriotic ardor will be steamed up much.
If the brethren will pay close attention to the pray
er and omit the hymn there is likely to be greater
peace and harmony in the proceedings that ensue.

Scholarly and super-sensitfve critics complain of
Mr.. Harding's English. They point out trivial errors
in grammatical construction. These professors arc,
of course. unaware that down in Ohio they make their
own English construction, likewise their own pronun-
citation. We may say for the former it is, as a usual
thing, plain and vigorous. 1t is not built for con-
sumption by college professors, but for the regular
folks, who have no difficulty, whatever, in compre-
bending the meaning intended.
It is rather, suspected that the real basis of criticism
is lack Of sympathy with the ideas and policies for
which the president stands
Mr.. Harding is not engaged in issuing a series Of
essays in which the subject is lost in a wealth Of
rhetorical ruffles. He is presenting ideas fresh from
the plain people, that have to do with everyday life,
and who use everyday Ohio English which is every
where written into the laws and history of the country.
This English was brought out from Connecticut in
the day Of settlement Of the state. 1t has not only
retained its original strength and beauty in the trans
planting but il has become the official language of
the west Therefore, when we tell these long-haired
professors who are conducting parior classes in Boil
shevism out in the erudite east, where they can go,
we trust there is no misunderstanding Of the meaning
or any misapprehension as to the grammatical con-
struction.

PASSING OF THE o o

When liquor went out and ginger ale came ia, the
night life as represented in the roof gardens, was
doomed in New York. The last Of the roofs" has
closed down, Ziegfelds, and the hand picked beauties
of che follies are open for engagements. So also is
the syncopated orchestra. This famous roof has been
the scene of more gaiety and female nudity than any
spot of equal area in the world in the years it has
operated.
The hilarity became a mere mockery when prohibit
ton officers finally found means to enforce the Vol
stead act, and now those who finished the evening on
the roof, where the performance did not begin until
all theaters and other places Of Amusement had closed,
Will be forced to go home at something like a season.
able hour.
For the moral good of the community, nothing has
been lost by the passing of the roof theaters. For the
most part the participants in the festivities were peo-
pie Of means who were hunting new thrills; and while
their particular morals could be made no worse, the
influence Of the roof entertainment was bad.
The workings of prohibition include a great deal
more than the mere abolition of liquor.

CAMPBELL WILL HELP
LOCAL AUTO OWNERS
TO COMPLY WITH LAW

. L. B. Campbell. of Richmond, has
been appointed to furnish automobile
owners of this vicinity with the appli-
cation blanks necessary to obtain
titles for their cars under the new
state law recently passed and which
goes into effect next month. Under
its provisions automobile owners will
be protected against theft to a much
greater extent than in the past.
Briefly, the new law provides that
each owner must have a deed for his
car, just as any other piece of prop
erty. This deed or certificate of
title must be in the possession of the
owner as long as he owns the car and
must be transferred by him to the per
son to whom he sells the machine.
The result of such law is to make
it almost impossible for thieves to
traffic in stolen cars, as they must
have the certificate of title with the
machine
1t is illegal foS any person to buy
or sell car without this certificate.
Fines ranging from $40 to $1,000 and
prison sentences of two to ten years
are provided for violations of various
sections of the act. The law was
passed through the influence of the
Hoosier State Automobile association.

POLISH INSURGENTS
CLASH WITH FRENCH,
GERMANS TAKE HAND
CIV Associated Press)

OPPELN, Silesia, May 11.-French
troops engaged in an artillery duel
with insurgent Poles near Croscho-
WITT, about six miles south of this
city, yesterday. The Poles replied to
the French fire with several small
field pieces. A number Of slightly
wounded French soldiers have been
brought here, and other wounded
Frenchmen have been brought in by
motor lorries from other towns in the
disturbed area.
1t is rumored that a German officer
who formerly held a high position in
the army has taken charge of Ger
man operations in Silesia, and inter
allied officials here fear there will be
serious developments in the next few
days unless the Poles indicate their
intention to begin a withdrawal. In
this city there has been arriving a
continuous stream of wounded Ger
man refugees, and the situation has
grown more intense. The German
civilian guards have completed their
organize ton. The officers say they
have sufficient rifles, and will feel
safe if they can secure artillery.
Allied officials arriving here from
Kattowitz report the Poles held them
up and took them to Polish headquar
tiers. There they were examined
their papers gone over. and eventually
the officials were given passes signed
by the Polish commissar which per
mitted them to pass the insurgeni
lines. 1t is declared the Poles are
we'll equipped with artillery and small
arms, but there is lack of discipline
evident in their ranks. There is some
apprehension that the insurgent
forces will get out of hand and begir
plundering the Silesian towns they
have taken since the inception of the
revolt in this district.

COAL SHORTAGE MAY
CLOSE HUGE PLANT
IN UNITED KINGDOM

LONDON, May 11.-Indications OF
the seriousness of the coal shortage
caused by the miners strike, which
has been in progress since April 1, is
furnished by announcement that the
Vickers shipbuilding and engineering
works at Barrow, the largest concern
in the United Kingdom, employing
$50. 900 men, will be forced to close
entirely at the end of next week un-
less coal mining is resumed. The
iron and steel works of the plant al
ready are shutdown.
Complete closing of the plant would
accentuate the unemployment situa-
ton notably and swell appreciably the
total of unemployed men, women, boys
and girls on the register of the labor
exchanges. which at the end of April
totalled 1,s65.O0O, with the number
working on short time 1.077,000.
These figures are exclusive of the
100000 idle miners.
Delay Adds to Trouble.
The number of workers idle in the
shipbuilding trade was given as 800
900, and in the iron and steel trade
as 200, 600 It is estimated that each
day of the stoppage of coal mining

The mission board voted to parti-

the foreign mission board operations.
