Germany Will Not Forget.

Germany Is to be allowed A years to settle
its war account with the allies. Payment Of
the total bill, $4,000 OO0O o0 is to be extended
, over that period. For an equal length Of time
the German government. must pay to the allies
12h per cent Of the value Of all German
exports.
At first blush the monetary penalization i'm
posed upon the German government seems
Of staggering proportions. but as time goes
on it will be little thought Of and the sums
will be met by the empire without whimper
audible to the outside world, but secretly the
ruling classes Of that country may be depended
upon to be contriving ways and means of get
ting back the dollars that will be doled out
as the price Of the insane enterprise of the
Hohenzollerns.
Germany will afford demonstration to the
world Of the recuperative powers Of an indus
trious and patient people Germany makes
every inch of ground give return. None of
its resources is neglected The people there
know how to economic and to bear hardships
uncomplainingly Other nations can learn
from Germany in many directions.
We in America know the German. and ap-
preciate him as an adopted citizen Of this
country. He is builder and saver He in
vests in home and raises family. He in
! dulges in few. of the excuses that are a part
OF the lives of the native born American. When
the rainy day comes the German Is not caught
in the unprepared state of his neighbor.
Therefore, Germany being populated by
Germans. will not experience any apparent
| suffering in the great burden that has been
imposed by the allied council. The bill will
be paid, but the German will not forget and
he will in the interim lay his wires to get back
dollar for dollar. If he is not able to recover
it by peaceable methods, We should not be so
sure that he will not attempt another adven-
ture such as was initiated few years ago.
The United States is not to receive a dollar
OF the billions to be wrung from Germany
although this nation suffered with other coun-
tries involved in the war in blood and treasure
The United States asks no reparation from
Germany, and would rather be known as the
future friend Of that empire.
The truth is that America bears no hatred
OF the German people. and it is not believed
that there is any such feeling among the rank
and file of the populace of that country against
the United States But the leadership of Ger
many is not in the hands of the masses. The
same forces that were in the saddle during
the Hohenzollern reign have not yet lost their
hold on affairs. And they are still bitter not
alone towards the nations Of Europe against
which Germany was arraigned during the war
but likewise, only more so, against the United
States. We in America should not forxet that
the elements in Germany that planned and pre-
cipitated the war will always look towards this
country with revengeful attitude For they
realize that Germany owes the loss Of the war
not to France or to England or any Of the
ether European countries with which it was
engaged, but to the United States alone.

The fates had been preparing a
little Joke on Charlie Wetherbee
Here was a girl, beautiful. rich
and full Of the love Of adventure
who, unknown to herself. had beer
adored for years by a youth strong
active and poor. but also loving ad-

on her list of male acquaintance
and he imposed Just two require

Charlie smiled blithely as he

his search for a wife. But ever,

by the time he bought his ticket, his
smile had faded little.

Of adventure that morning and had
slipped out Of the house before her
father could stop her. Indeed he
had caught a glimpse Of her as she
sped down the driveway, and had
shaken his head in despair. Long
experience had taught him the
meaning Of that quick springy step

school friend whom she was 60
