SKEPTICAL ON AGREEMENT
 WITH REDS

Cologne, Germany, June 17.-Ger- man business interests and the Ger man press are extremely skeptical about the value of the preliminary trade agreement entered into with the Russian Soviet Republic by the Ger man government and frankly declares there is little reason for hope for i'm mediate trade with Russia or any considerable scale.
 The fact that the Soviet Repub- lie still insists upon monopolizing all import and export business and had the preliminary trade agreement written with that object in view con- fuses German business men. who pro- fess to be unable to comprehend the document.
 While the Soviet Republic takes to itself the rights and functions of a business corporation, it also holds to the well established international principle that q government cannot be sued, but endeaVOrs to reassure bu- siness with it by including in the pre- iminary agreement a a. stipulation that dealings between the Russian gov ernment and German firms and in- dividuals in Russia are to be con- trolled by an arbitration court.
 In discussing the agreement the Cologne Gazette says
 adjustment of business relations, the final step being still far in the flu ture. Nevertheless, it is a step for ward and others must necessarily fol- low. The new agreement means
 This is the first step toward re- that the two business delegations - in Moscow and Berlin - must be eS- sentially enlarged and clothed with more authority. An urgent warning should be issued against false hopes of great commercial advantage.
 '"The German business men who put their faith in this agreement can have no guarantee of personal or property security, for the inLerpre- tation can be so distorted by the men tai gymnasts of the red republic as to divert wholly it's purpose. There is insufficient security offered for German fife and property. which will in every instance be at the mercy of BolSheNik conmiSSars.''

SCHOOL CHILDREN AND SUICIDE

It was called to public attention yesterday that in the metropolitan vicinity since May 26 seven boys and girls have turned to suicide as the easiest way out Of trouble with their studies in school.
 Three would-be self-destroyers failed in their attempt. There re- mains a general fact which is dis maying and which tends to shatter an American tradition.
 We have been accustomed to re- gard Germany as the land of the child suicide and to find the root of trouble in the rigidity of miIitaristic training. We have considered that safety and sanity attended our own young scholars on their progress through the common schools. Surely it becomes important to inquire we'll into the causes of what may portend menacing change in the conditions
 A question arising promptly is whether the source of peril lies in school circumstance CT in the begin ming development of new tempera- IIlSilIdl OeVelODment. as it were. out of the me1ting-pot-
 Modern methods have complicated our system of teaching, it is true. But the idea has prevailed generally of making the road to knowledge easier to tread and of feeding inter est more generously through educa- tional entertainment on the way. Does 1t seem probable that we have stray ed tragica11y far, at any point, from the straight and narrow path of the three R's period?
 However, whatever the inquiry may be and whatever the results. one thing is Immediately plain:
 The special duty of the hour for teachers in school and parents at home is to be tirelessly patient, sym pathetic and helpful Let there be no quarter for the spirit of hopeless ness in young brains and breasts.

WHERE SHE IS NOW

Where she is now, I cannot say The world has many a place of light: Perhaps the Suns eyelashes dance On hers. to give them both de- light; Or does she sit in some green shade. And then the air, that lies above, Can with a hundred pale blue eyes Look through the leaves and find my love? Perhaps she dreams of life with me. Her cheek upon her fingertips: O that I could leap forward now, Behind her back, and with my lips Break through those curls above her nape, That hover close and lightly there- To prove if they are substance, But shadows of her lovely hair.

 Represe entatives in refusing to fol low the Senate in repeating the de- c1aration of war against Germany. For this course the Republican NIAS14I IIcil OL l1S T OISISh A11dlIS Committee, MT. Porter, gave reasons which are a distinct echo of Mir Will sons words last year. Another man earnestly striving to vindicate the policy and enhance the fame of the former President is Secretary Hughes. The policy of the pre- sent administration regarding Russia copies the Wilson policy; so does the attitude of the State Department on German separations, and on Mexico Two other valiant workers for MT Wilson are Ambassador Harvey and President Harding. The for-- CTS speech in London fairly drove the latter to align himself in sympathy and position with his predecessor

WHAT IS SUCCESSo

My experience has been that the greatest difficulty with boys who enter a business house is not that they think wrongly. but that they do not think at all. Many are willing to put in one day of hard work af- ter another in the conscientious per forEnance of their duties, but they seem to believe their thinking should be done by the men higher up. Many of these young men are perfectly capable of thinking if they will only try There is no doubt that if any of us can be induced to approach : task with the belief that we are

AMERICANS EAT LESS FISH

Many families during the war form ed the habit of having two or three fish days a week and some of them have kept it up ever since Many others, if they tried it. would find that the use of more fish adds pleasant va riety to the meals.
 America has as good a fish supply as any country i" the world, say food specialists of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, but Ameri- cans eat less fish than the people of many other countries. For instance, in England an average of 65 pounds of fish yearly for each person is eat en, while here the average is only IS pounds.
 100 kinds of edible fish available in the United States, but most persons are familiar with not more than a dozen It is a good plan to try new kinds of fish whenever there is an opportunity and, if they are not avail able in the local market, to suggest to the fisherman that he add them to his supply. Also, if fresh fish can not be obtained, many kinds of salt, ,smok- ed, and canned fish can be shipped anywhere at any season of the year.
