GERMANY
By DR.. Frank Crane

Chancellor Fehrenbach head of the exist
ing German government, in a recently pub
lished interview, gave expression to some
ideas which we should not overlook, and
which, being sound common sense, shall
ultimately have to take into account.
The gist of what he said is that the Allies
fail to realize that the Germans, through long
training, have been accustomed to relegate to
the established authorities all those interna-
tional and political questions they are now
called upon to consider for themselves.
They are not used to democracy. They
are new at it and unskilled.
Furthermore, the Allies seem to be bitter
against the German people because they do
not consider themselves criminals They for
get that for the people TO do so would bottle
very worst thing for all concerned. For if
they lose their self-respect they certainly will
not keep their obligations.
This is true. So long as a man thinks he
is rascal he acts as rascal. And his only
hope of redemption is to learn to think of
himself as honest.
Breaking down the morale of the Ger
man people IS the surest way to plunge them
into further ruin, and Europe with them.
The real criminals of Germany wero its au-
tocratic rulers, and those traditional delus-
ions which kept them in power and the mass
es in helpless subserviencea
The war was supposedly waged, not against
the German people, but against those ruling
classes who had fooled and driven them.
Now the Hohenzollerns and their ilk have
gone They have side-stepped, and. the Al
lies are furnishing their dupes.
The Junkers cannot pay the huge indem-
nifty demanded for the war. They have moth
ing to pay with. And the Allies are making
their wretched victims pay.
A ruined, impoverished or anarchy-ridden
Germany will be of no good to u.s. cannot pay
for the war damage, and will be a new source
of danger.

THE TRULY GREAT
BY H. Addington Bruce
tn HE truly great are never conspicuol
for soIf-cnnIyino Pothor thew

tn HE truly great are never conspicuous
for self-seeking. Rather, they are
characterized by an evident desire to
serve others. They are altruistic, not ego
tstic.
Simplicity is manifest in all their ways.
Even when they possess the means for show
and ostentation they remain simple folk.
Great learning does not convert them into
pedants They do not go about striving
to impress with their profound knowledge.
Their effort, motivated by the ardent wish
to serve, is to make what they know intelli-
gible to others. -. t...
Wherefore, too, they do not display aloof-
ness if Fortune elevates them to place and
power. They are apprOachable, whatever
their station. Which is another way Of say
ing that they are intensely human and emf
nently sympathetic.
They reach out with heart and hand to
those whom they meet or pass journeying
through life. It is no strain upon them to
look at events and problems through other
peoples eyes.
Hence charity is one of their outstanding
virtues. Instinctively they obey the mandate,
Judge not" Supremacy tolerant themselves,
they yet can understand the intolerance, the
readiness to condemn, marking the petty
minded.
If directed against themselves, they calmly
ignore the shafts of bigotry and malice, envy
and hatred. But when these are directed
against others they may sacrifice much to
mitigate their sting. Always the truly great
are on the side of the weak, the defenseless,
the unjustly attacked.
In whatever theyt do, they do with might
and main. They are enthusiasts all their
days. They keep alive within them the fire
of youth With reason it has been said to the
end of life the truly great have the heart
of a child.
They also have a chi1ds infinite capacity
for creative wondering. And they have a
child's honesty and sincerity. They abhor
deceit. Double dealing is to them thing I'M
thinkable. Loyalty claims them as her own,
her well-beloved.
And the truly great have vision
They chart their lives by high ideals. not
by ignoble cravings. Let others cleave to
the sordid, they would foley the star. Withal,
they are not impractical dreamers.
They dream, but they appreciate that do
ing has its place in the scheme of things no
less than dreaming. They appreciate that the
material has its claims as we'll as the
spiritual. Also, though, they appreciate that
the spiritual must determine the doing and
dominate the material.

The Raii1zOau Rate BIZ
N a highly interesting Dill introduced at
/ the opening Of the extraordinary session


the opening of the extraordinary session
of Congress yesterday, Representative
Wright, of Georgia, proposes to remedy, or
at least to alleviate, the present stagnancy in
railway traffic and the consequent depression
in business by reducing rates and fares to
what they were before the Government relin-
quished control of the roads and by continu-
ing them thus for year. Within that pc
riod, according to his plan, the Interstate
Commerce Commission would gather facts
and work out principles on the basis of which
a fair and stable adjustment could be made.
This procedure, Congressman Wright main
tains, would serve to quicken and invigorate
the now feeble pulse of freight traffic and
thereby would benefit both the public and
the carriers.
That the carriers are in sore straits be-
cause of a greatly decreased volume of bust
ness they freely declare; and, in the judg-
ment of many observers, this decrease is at
tributable largely to the exceedingly high
rates Certainly it is significant that a rep
resentative group of railroads in the North,
East, South and West, fell some sixty-four
million dollars short of their expected earn
ings under the rate increases authorized last
August. 1t is significant, too. that their to-
tai operating revenues for February Of this
year show decrease of four and a half per
cent as compared with February, 1920. Con-
slider, moreover, what it means, that there are
now approximately five hundred thousand idle
freight cars and a pronounced decrease in
passenger travel, whereas a year ago, before
the higher rates, the roads were five hundred
thousand cars short of the nu4lber needful
to handle the freight offreed, and passenger
business, as we'll, was fourishing.
In this situation there are doubtless sundry
factors, but unquestionably the high rates of
transportation, maintained against lowered
prices in nearly all fields of production and
commerce, are discOuraging, indeed prevent
ing, great deal of traffic. Congressman
Wright brin IS forward in this connection
some highly impressive instances. "Under
present rates. says he in support of his BILL
"the freight on hay and oats from the west
to southern and eastern points equals and in
some instances exceeds the price received by
the shipper; on of salt shipped to the
south the freight exceeds the purchase price
The rates on fruits from tn south and west
are Simply prohibitive and confiscatory. H.
Illustrations could be multiplied. Grain, fruits.
meats, cotton and in fact all commodities
cannot be profitab1y sold and shipped under
present rates. Yet we are told the railroads
are operating at q loss. This may be true
Also thousands of freight cars are standing
id'e and the operating force in many instances
are reduced"
A happy solution it will be + the problem
can be worked out to the mutual benefit of
shippers and carriers and the stimulation of
business at large. This. as We understand it,
is the basir idea of Congressman Wrieht's
structive end it merits earnest consideration.

REFLECTIONS OF A
BACHELOR GIRL
BY HELEN ROWLAND

At this irresponsible time of year, it might
be wise for wife to tie string around her
husbands finger before sending him down to
the office, mornings, just to REMIND him that
he is married.
Never too old to learn" has been changed,
in this startling generation, to the snapper
slogan, Never too old to learn to love-"
To a woman, the continued devotion of
"the man just before is a tribute to her
charm; but to a man the devotion of ''the girl
before the last is merely nauseating re-
minder of his folly.
modern youths idea of proposing is
merely to drop a carefully yelled hint and
then let the girl amuse herself working out
the cOnundrum.
It is a sad, sad fact that woman seldom
finds real love and true devotion, until she
has wearied of looking for them, and has be-
gun to look around for little diversion.
Marriage may sometimes lead to sort of
sleeping sickness of the emotions and the
imagination; but even that's better than stay
ing single and acquiring paralysis of the heart
and dyspepsia of the viewpoint
AS long as it is considered wicked to be gay
and happy the frown of virtue will never
stand ghost of a chance against the smile
of sin.
When man asks a girl to change. her
name, somehow he never mentions all the
other things he expects her to change with
it-her meal hours, her doctor, her lawyer,
her politics, her opinions, her habits and her
favorite color.

The PRESIDENT Message

r theh most significant passage Of his
first address to Congress President Har
ding recognizes the necessity of Amer
ica's taking part and lot with the other ma
lions of the world in working out the grim
problems left by war and in advancing the
interests of common humanity. Rejecting
as he does the covenant of the existing
League, he nevertheless voices hope and
aim for an association ito promote peace, in
which we would most heartily join" Elk
plicitly he avows, 1--WE pledged our efforts
toward such an association, and the pledge
will be faithfully kept" Moreover, while ap-
proving the idea of declaratory resolution
by Congress to end the technical and
anomalous condition of war in which this
country still fingers, after all the other
belligerents have long been at peace, he
hastens to add that it would be improper and
unwise to embody in such declaration a
statement of our future policy with refer
ence to European affairs. "It would be idle''
he argues, "to declare for separate treaties
of peace with the Central Powers on the as
sumption that these alone would be ade-
quate, because (meaningful "because'D
1.-THE situation is so involved that our
peace engagements cannot ignore the
Old World relationships and settlements
already effected, nor is it desirable to
do so in preserving own rights and
contracting our future relationships.
The wiser course would seem to be the
acceptance OF the confirmation OF our
rights and interests as already provided
and to engage under the existing treaty,
assuming, of course, that this can be
accomplished by such explicit reserva-
lions and notifications as will secure
our absolute freedom from inadvisable
commitments and safeguard all our es-
sential interests. e. Our obligations in
effecting European tranquility, because
of wars improvements, are not less i'm
polling than our part in the war ITSELF

world Mere recognition of this truth rep
resents a notable advance beyond the view
point, the pitiably parochial viewpoint of
the Bitter Enders," and affords base for
constructive action. BY what routes and what
means the President expects to compass the
rather complex task of associating America
with the organized forces of world peace and
justice, while rejecting the League already
established and operating for that very pur-
pose, his message does not indicate. Pre-
sumably, however, earnest efforts to that
end will be made, and therein lies substan-
tial hope. For the needs of international CO.
working are so manifold and grave, so in
woven with the deepest economic and human
interests of our own and other countries
that they needs must lead to some sort of
agreement and concerted action, if states
men are in any wise true to the call of the
times.
