ON SUSPICION

j. Decourcy Van Derventer
Made fortune in the war
And departed for the Southland
In his million dollar car,
While the courts in far Manhattan
Sought in vain to place the screws
On some certain folks for selling
Uncle Sam some paper shoes.
II ON his limousine, far rolling,
Bearing bed and kitchenette,
He surveyed our lovely mountains
As he smoked his cigarette;
Saw the ivy and the laurel
Robe and crown the mighty rocks,
Heard the wildcat in the cleaning
Scream and answer back the fox.
Saw the clean and countless millions
OF the stars that shone at night,
Heard the mighty torrents roaring
As they Numbered out of sight
Heard the pine trees sigh in sadness
From the shadows overhead
Like a host Of women mourning
For an army Of the dead.
Once a lovely mountain maiden
Beckoned him at even-tide,
And he left his car and followed
Where she led along the side
OF n babbling brook, believing
From the promise in her eyes
That the stream would lead him
straightway
To the springs Of Paradise!
But she quickly introduced him
To a law defying crew,
And upon his soul descended
Fragrance Of the mountain dew!
Then she filled a cup with moon
shine,
And he pledged her where she
stood,
As the spirit Of the Southland"
And the Goddess Of the Wood"
While he spake in phrase poetic,
With a wild and horrid yell,
Twenty marshals charged the land.
scape
As the bate emerged from He'll,
And the maiden fled and vanished
With her whisky making men
And Decourcy Van Derventer
Was arrested there and then.
Van Derventer's faithful chauffeur
Searched among the hills in vain
Called and searched for hours, but
never
Saw his masters face again!
Certain Judges in Manhattan
Rack their legal brains the while
J. Decourcy Van Derventer
Languishes in durance vile!

Chancellor With apparently is de-
termined to force Germany to fulfill
her obligations to the allies. In
speech before the reichstag he set
forth the economic rules and policies
through which, he believes, the Ger
man nation can pay its debts and yet
maintain economic stability and in
dependence. He intends not only to
keep up with the payments as they
fall due. but to keep ahead of them.
THE sums to be paid In repara-
tions," he declared. "can be extract
ance. We must increase our produc-
ton and reduce our expenses to the
utmost In our manufactures. We
must limit all imports, especially II xu-
ries. as far as possible through customs
tax measure. TO this end we should
have sovereignty over our customs
borders.
Agriculture must be brought to Its
highest capacity, Systematically. AMI
mails must be replaced by motors, saw
ing fodder. Acreage must be increased,
and the cultivation of swamps and
deserts must be undertaken at the
earliest moment, thus providing work
for those out Of employment The

The chancellor foreshadowed a high
er corporation tax, a bourse tax, an
inheritance tax, a landed property tax
and a tax On certain securities. In ad-
dition TO an increase In direct taxes.

The Poles and Germans IN Upper
Silesia did not observe their truce for
many hours. The Germans renewed
the attacks and the fighting has been
continuous ever since. despite the ef-
forts OF the allied plebiscite forces,
which have been reinforced by body
Of British troops. In general the Poles
seem to be getting the worst Of the
fighting, for the Germans were well
organized secretly and are fully armed.
There was a serious outbreak in Beu-

attacked the French garrison. The
latter used tanks with deadly effect
and routed the Germans. killing many.

includes:
1. Collection from the peasants OF q
fixed amount OF grain by system Of
tax In kind, estimated by Mlliutin to
amount to about one-thlrd OF the crop.
The other two-thirds Of the crop is to
remain at the disposal of the peasant
for grading through the newly restored

tended.
.. Retention IN the hands OF the
state OF the largest Industries and
means OF transportation, particularly
the leather, salt and textile Industries
These latter are turning out manu-
featured goods now most needed by
the peasants. They are TO be speeded

needs, and the workmen are to be en-
eouraged by a bonus system and other
Inducements which will increase pro-

Married Women and Employment

To the Editor Of the EvenirD Public Ledger;
sir--Replying to a note from "F l.. o."
on the married women working question,
would like to insert few Ideas which I
will agree upon.
The answer to I. c. o's question as to
why married women are permitted to work
10 "a silly given. Married women work be-
trious, and because they believe In future
other than that which Is found in the hollow
of a dishpan. Aloo. they often work when
their husbands are capable Of supper ting
them because they want TO help buy that
homo thoy are looking forward to: and be-
cause they know that by being a real bus-
ness partner as we'll rs wife they can
help their husbands instead OF staying at
horne in q two-by.nothins apartment and
practicing petty economies, which, after all.
would not amount TO so much In year as
one solid month of office work.
Their husbands agree with this because
they are also gifted with brains and they
use them. They know that the day has
been discarded. along with the caveman
days. when the woman has no right to ex-
peot anything other than O life In the i'm
mediate household which he provides. Ne

his wife and possession, but as an individual,
