THE ANSWER IS NO.

A proposal has been made that ENGLAND
and other European powers be allowed to
pay their debts to this country by turn
ing over to US the German indemnity
bonds which they expect to receive.
An individual who makes it his bust
ness to collect bills for other people soon
becomes unpopular.
If these bills are of long standing and
The debtor believes the charges are fifteen
III twenty times mere than they should
be the individual collector becomes an OBJ
acct of hatred. The same is true of ma
tons.
Germany's hatred of the United States
IS already intense, but we see no reason
why we should make it impossible for fu-
lure German generations to forget. We
went into the war because Germany's
Wanton acts forced us to do so. We
poured out our dollars in billions and sent
our boys to the TRENCHES by millions. We
are willing to bear our share of the cost
including the resultant emnity, but we
are cot willing to sncrease our burdens
by becoming bill collector for our Eu-
-0pean allies. If we were to undertake
"a enforce the payment of the German
indemnity bonds VT would be compelled
to dc Just what England, France and Bel
GUM are now doing in order to get pos
session of the bonds. Is there any one
silly enough to believe. if we made war
On Germany to enforce payment of these
ponds, that any one of these countries
now sending troops into Germany would
assist us2 Instead Of helping US to COL
Iect debts originally theirs they would be
busy selling war materials and supplies to
be used against u.s. Our late allies have
div ided all the TERRITORIAL plunder among
themselves. They will make similar
disposal of the indemnity bonds after
they get them. Let them govern the
territory they have taken and let them
collect their own bills. We have troubles

THE DEAD TARIFF BILL.


4 year ago on the first day of March
almost half the immense corn crop of
1919 was on the farms. The same is true
of the wheat crop. On the first day of
March this year there were about 3OO,-
900, 900 bushels of corn and about forty
million bushels of wheat more on the
farms, unsold than year ago. We do
not have the figures showing the amount
of other farm products remaining unsold,
but il was in the aggregate very large,
and it cannot be truthfully said that
there was great shortage of any abso
3utely necessary farm product. The cause
of this great over supply was the insist
ent appeal to the farmers to feed the
starving world" to WI ich they responded
by hiring help wheneY er possible, gard
less of wages, making largely increased
expenditures for fertilizers and much
other extra outlay. II thousands of in
stances they borrowed money to do this,
and the debts are no. yet paid. These
men knew that wheat and flour came
into this country from Canada almost
every day by train loads, and that wheat
came from Argentina BY shiDloads. They
knew that in lesser volume other cereals
were coming in. Thex knew that pota-
toes and other vegetables and citrus
fruits were coming in; Wool from Aus
aralia was competing with theirs in our
own markets. Almost every domestic
farm product was in competition with a
similar foreign product

Mr.. Gardner is an able man, one of the
many respectable and leading Democrats

We have never seen any criticism of
his official acts in connection with his
work on the commission. In fact, he has
received high commentator from such
Republican Senators as Nelson of Mime

Iowa, Mccormick of Illinois, and Towns

himself, went into retirement the Presi-

the symbolic Remuneration Of the debt
that Dan owed Cranston-a debt that
in his mind might possibly go unpaid,
which no weight of circumstance could

His longing for her lips pulled at
the roots of him. But by the laws of
his being he couldn't claim them until
the debt incurred on the hillside,
months ago, had been paid; to take
them now meant to dull the fine edge
of his resolve to carry the issue
through to the end, to dim the star
that led him, to weaken him, by bend

didn't know why. 1t had it's fount In

CHAPTER Ill.

Dan Failing was never more thank
full for his unerring sense of direction.
He struck off at a forty-five-degree
angle between their late course and a
direct road to the river, and he kept
it as if by a surveyors line. All the
old devices of the wilderness-the
ridge on ridge that looked just alike.
@inclines that to the casual eye looked
like downward slopes, streams that
vanished beneath the snow, and the
snow-mist blowing across the face OF
the landmarks-could not avail
against him.
A half dozen of the wolves followed
him at first. But perhaps their fierce
eyes marked his long stride and his
powerful body, and decided that their
better chance was with the helpless
man and the girl beside the Pickering
fire. They turned back, one by one.
Dan kept straight on and in two hours

crossed Cranstons trail. He didn't
doubt but that he would find Gram
ston in his camp, if he found the camp
at all. The man had certainly re-
turned to it Immediately after setting
fire to the buildings, If for no other
reason than for food. 1t isn't well
to be abroad on the wintry mountains
without supply Of food; and Gran
ston would certainly know this fact.
Dan didn't know when rifle bullet
from some camp in the thickets would
put an abrupt end to his advance. The
brush grew high by the river, the ele-
walton was considerably lower, and
there might be one hundred camps out
of the sight of the casual wayfarer.
If Cranston should see him, mushing
across the moonlit snow, 1t would give
him the most savage joy to open fire
upon him with his rifle.
Dams keen eyes searched the thick
cts. and particularly they watched the
sky line for a faint glare that might
mean camp fire. He tried to walk
silently. 1t wasn't an easy thing to
do with awkward snowshoes; but the
river drowned the little noise that he
made. He tried to take advantage of
the shelter of the thickets and the
trees. Then, at the base of little
ridge, he came to a sudden halt.
He had estimated just right. Not
two hundred yards distant, camp
fire flickered and glewed in the shell
ter of great log. He saw 1t. by the
most astounding good fortune. through
a little rift In the trees. Ten feet on
either side, and 1t was obscured.

binary court routine of receiving Tor
eign diplomats and attending state
functions. Ambassadors and ministers
from abroad now present their creden-
tia.s to this modest, almost shy, youth,
who also presides at the big New Year
receptions and other imperial func-
lions. Sometimes he is assisted by MS
mother, the empress, but usually ne
fulfills the duties of an emperor I'M
assisted. Last fall he attended the
annual grand maneuyers of the army
In Kyushu and is said to have taken
an active and intelligent interest In
the mimic warfare.
The poor health of the emperor IS
one of the chief reasons given for the
decision not to extend the princes
present tour to the United States. His
imperial majesty is believed to be suf-
fering from an Illness from which he
Is not expected to recover, and there
is no knowing when Prince Hirohito
may be called to mount the throne.
There is a book much circulated
among the young men of Japan
entitled, 1.-THE Making of a Crown
Prince which relates in naive detail
the uneventful story Of young Prince
Hirohito's early years. When he was
eight years old separate dwelling,
suited to the needs of normal, grow
inc boy, was built for him in the COM
pound of the Ayoama palace, in which
was the nursery in which he had spent
most of the first eight years of his
life. In this simple dwelling Prince
Hirohito spent the years of his youth
in study and in games designed to
build up. his physique.
AS he grew older he took to man.
lier sports, the athletic pastimes that
have been part Of japanese youth
for ages. He was trained early In
riding and today sits his mount easily
and gracefully. He became swords
man, too. and handles the blade of
japanese sword with skill. Although
his slight frame prevented his engag-
ing in more strenuous sports, ne is
great devotee of sumo, the japanese
form of wrestling.
Until about three years ago the prince
attended the Peers school, an academy
in Tokyo for the blue-blooded youth of
japan. He attended his classes regu-
larly with his mates, all scions of
princely and noble houses, riding each
day three or four miles in carriage
from his palace. Until two years ago
the prince had not ridden in an auto
mobile, as it was only recently that
the conservatism that had hedged the
imperial family of Japan about for
ares permitted the introduction of this
twentieth century means OF locomo-
ti0n.
Following the years at the Peers
school came a course of study under
special corps of tutors in what is called
.emperor's studies" phase of his
education through which the prince is
still passing. He completed the first
mart of his curriculum just few days
before he sailed for England, and the
more advanced part will be coptinued
during the voyage to Europe.
For the last few years the man
charged with the princes education
has been no less person than Adj
miral Count Togo, hero of the battle

of the Sea of Japan. This grizzled old
samurai, personification of the ideals
of Bushido, commander of the victori-
Gus fleet in the only decisive major
naval engagement of the Twentieth
century, has devoted his whole atten-
ton of recent years to shaping the
mind of his future emperor. His title
is lord tutor. Under him is corps
or learned and highly placed men,
nearly all of them men of influence.
The crown prince lives by a daily
schedule quite Japanese in Its SIM
plicity and severity. At six o'clock
every morning, summer and winter,
the imperial heir rises. His first wax
ing act is to make obeisance TO the
east, In the direction of the palace In
which his imperial parents live. de
then receives his attendants and at
tires himself, usually in military uni
form. Breakfast comes next, meal
in Occidental style, and after this he
goes Immediately into his study and
begins the daily grind on his "em-
peror's studies" His schedule rarely
varies. He breakfasts at 30,
lunches at IL AS, and dimes at DAD.
His bedtime hour would be as dis
tasteful to the American youth as the
Spartan six o'clock at which he rises,
for in summer Prince Hirohito turns
in at eight o'clock, just when the eve
ming of the Occidental young blood Is
beginning, and in winter he calls 1t
day just half an hour earlier, at 30.
The princes diet is half Oriental. half
Occidental.
The future empress Of Japan has
been selected. She Is Princess
Nagaka. As child, according to the
romance with which popular report
has surrounded the future emperor,
the prince often met the Princess
Nagaka, whom he is to make his bride,
soon after his return to Japan. An
attachment is supposed to have start
ed in childhood, to which the crown
prince has held until now, although
for years he has not seen his future
consort. Two years ago the marriage
of this young couple of the blood Inn
perial was arranged, and not since
that time, nor for some years before,
have they met. In the fall of 1919 1t
was arranged for Prince Hirohito to
meet his intended at the home OF her
father, Prince Kuni, but before the
meeting could take place fire had de-
stroyed the new foreign-style house
which Prince Kuni had built in Tokyo
and the meeting was delayed. Now
the prospective bride and bridegroom
must wait until his grand tour is COM
pleted.
Doubtless there are many hidden
stories revolving about this marriage
of state. Certain it is that there has
been opposition to it. One story Is
that this visit to the Occident Is In
fact for the purpose of breaking off
the engagement.
The last half century has seen
.Japan emerge from the obscllrity Of q
medieval and become world power.
