Dusseldorf, Germany.-The anti
occupation sentiment is much stronger
in Dusseldorf, Ruhrort and Duisburg,
the cities of Rhenish Prussia recently
occupied by the French, than in May
ence, Coblenz and Cologne, which also
have been under foreign occupation
for more than two years by the French,
Americans and British.
AS one crosses from the left bank
of the Rhine and enters recently Oc-
cupied territory the mood of the pop
ulatiOn becomes more sullen, their be-
haviOr more aloof and their hatred
much more pronounced.
More Like Military Rule.
The reason may be that the French
are occupying that part Of the right
bank of the Rhine that they hold near
the Ruhr in real military fashion and
the occupation is much more severe
than that on the left bank.
The hatred of the population is d.
rected more especially against the
French, and children are being brought
up in a constant terror and undis-
guised scorn of the occupying forces,
which gives but little promise that the
real brotherly love between French
and Germans will be achieved with
the coming generation.
The absolute refusal to speak
French, even by persons well acQuaint-
ed with the language, is one Of the
most common ways in which the Ger
mans show their dislike of the French
military men. The correspondent walked
into a cigar store the other day while a
French officer was attempting to make
the woman in charge understand the
brand of cigarettes he wanted She
seemed absolutely at a loss to under
stand him. The correspondent trans
lated the officers request in English.
After the officer had departed she told
the correspondent in purest French:
II understood him the first time,
but l would not give him the salts

"Boycotted" by Women.
Few women in Dusseldorf, Ruhrort
or Duisburg will be seen in the com
pany of a uniformed French soldier
or officer in the streets. The few who
transgress the unwritten law are
promptly catalogued at the German
city headquarters, and are marked for

Every druggist in town has noticed
a great falling off in the sale Of
calomel. They all give the same rea-
son. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking
its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it." Dodson's Liver Tone is per.
sOnally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle doesn't
cost very much but if it fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver slug
gishness and constipation, just ask
for your money back.

Woman InvadeS
African WildS

vivacious and charming, who has Just
returned to London after travelling
LOO miles across the Libyan desert
IL Africa to explore the city Of Ku-
fra, headquarters of the Senussi tribe,
fanatic and hostile group whose mill
itary adventures recently have caused
anxiety in Egypt.
Travelled Alone.
Mrs. Forbes, wearing the native
costume, was alone In her daring adj
venture. She Joined native caravan
and, riding a camel, finally crossed
the Egyptian frontiers and reached the
sacred oasis city where only one Eu-
ropean-an explorer of 40 years ago
has ever been before. Here she was
well received by the tribesmen and
given safeguard back to civilization,
but throughout the journey she was
surrounded by hostile natives who
would have killed her had they known
that she was a white woman.
The start of the trip was made from
Benghazi, the Mediterranean end Of
the ancient caravan route from the
central Sudan across the Libyan
desert. She had previously arranged
for form of passport from the Senus-
ST. but this was of little value, as the
tribes through which she passed did
not recognize their sovereignty. Spies
surrounded the caravan and at the
sacred city of Tai the entire party
,r,oe ,oIoood ,,ndov orroet and 4l,ro,,,,,
into a native prison. After great diff
ficulty they were released and allowed
to proceed.
Welcomed by Chiefs.
At the osases of Kufra the chiefs
welcomed Mrs. Forbes and told her of
their plans for political power On
the return journey she again had trou-
BILE with the natives and was at one
time forced to disguise herself as a
man.
Mrs. Forbes made a survey of the
country during her journey and col
about the national aims of the Senussi
tribes, but concealed a small kodak
under her flowing native robes and
made snapshots through a hole cut in
the dress. Returning to London, she
has now laid the results Of her ex-
plorations before the British govern
ment and was received by tn king.
The Senussl are becoming a powerful
force in Africa, and when during the
war they allied themselves with the
Turks, Egypt was fortified against
them at a cost of $3OO,OOO,OOO.

AGENTS Like Summer.

"T'm all for hot weather and lots Of
it," the insurance agent proclaimed
when someone asked him when he did
the most business-summer or winter.
"In the summer" he said, "ofiice
doors are likely to be open wide. When
I call on likely prospect I can see
him sitting at his desk as a rule. He
doesn't have the nerve to tell the Of
flee boy that he's not in when I've
Just waved cheerfully to him. So I
seldom cool my heels in a reception
room when the weather is warm"

Two powerful negro stevedores, who

Too Much System

Super system. titles that cause
heart burn and overdone statistics
Were gently castigated here today by
ID. C. Wills. chairman of the board
OF the Federal Reserve Bank of
Cleveland, O., in practical business
talk to future bank executives. The
occasion was the annual convention
of the American Institute Of Bank
ing.
Going through the motions of do
ing business without really getting
down to business was the theme
/ the Cleveland banker eXpounded.
He summed it up in the title of his
address, "Knowledge vs.. Wisdom -
and here are some of the bits Of
business wisdom he gave the young
bankers:
Full credit must be given to or
ganiZation and machinery, since or
der is Heavens first law What
want to get across is Il kick against
the pyramiding of system that finally
leads to bureaucracy. ! do not think
it is the duty of the public to- con-
! duct continuous audit of a concern
I with which it trades.
! "Frequently in a bank organization
the question of titles receives more
consideration than it deserves, prin-
cipally because super system has ere
ated 50 many wheels within wheels
and so many cogs in the wheels that
the ordinary vocabulary of bank titles
doesn't suffice. Frequently titles
cause a lot of heart burning in an
organization simply because of van
ity and false pride.
! My observation and Judgment
, convince me that one can function
under any title and that we will do
we'll if We pay less attention to titles,
lest in our zeal to create and exalt
, titles we put the emphasis where it
! does not belong. 1t is not a ques-
ton of what your position is. The
question is: What are you, yourself,
doing in it and with it?
! LAS to statistics. accurate data in
telligently arranged is so far ahead
of lunches, guess work. general re-
as electricity to candle light. Never
theless, its use can be overdone and
is being overdone. Charts and ba-
rometers are fine. but there are two
! subjects that cannot be eharted
they are Almighty God and human
! nature, and both cut quite a figure.
{ Also it should be remarked that it
is a person of rare qualifications that
can analyze and make proper de-
ductions from statistics.
, 1T is my judgment that a lot of
, us arc getting our trousers shiny
/ sitting at our desks poring over sta
tistics, department reports, etc, who
could spend our time to better ad-
vantage learning the people in our
J organizations and getting a more in
innate knowledge of the viewpoint
or those with whom we do business. +"
