THE NEW GERMANY

I have already called attention to the fact that Germany which lost the war, is in fair way to win the peace
 For the simplest of all reasons.
 It is prohibited from having army and navy.
 Which reacts upon nation very much as prohlblt- ing his bottle acts drunkard The country blossoms forth in prodigous prosperity just as the man becomes strong and healthy.
 Take an industrious, capable people like the Ger mans, and remove the horrible incubus of mitarism, which was always drawing its blood, emptying its coffers and throttng its progress and put these peo pie into competition say with the French, who still keeping million iders in uniform, more or less, and any child can what will happen in ten years
 All the money Germany has to pay in reparations, all the territory she lost Asace Lorraine and her colo nies and all the she had killed and crippled will begin to balance against the tremendous advantage she will have in the of nations, by being rid of her boodsucking military leech
 The blinded nations which conquered Germany ara riding headlong to the ditch Japan the United States Great Britain, and France because they too insane to get together and throw down their arms, and still pouring billions into the of prepared ness w unless they change find themselves, almost within the time of generation, outstripped by the new Germany.
 For any nation that has vision enough to abandon armament will oustrip the others Germany has not the vsion but destiny seemed to have forced the program upon her.
 News reports indicate that Germany is about to enter period of great industrial 'boom." Leading brokers report increases in dealings from to 1000 per cent Fresh evidence of the activity of the German shipping industry is accumulatlng The Hamburg American Line is making a great bid for American traffic and is shortly putting in commission the 12 000 ton Bayern built at Bremen in the Vulcan works the 15, ,000-ton Hansa, built at Hamburg in the Vulcan works, and in the early autumn third ship, the Wur temberg, ,00O tons. All three will be used the Hamburg New York service. For the first time since the the Hamburg American Line is issuing bulky timetable containing the saiings of its own and sub sidiary lines.
 The German potash industry reports unprece dented activity though the price has recently increased
 The orgy of speculation representing Germany's everncreasng prosperity has caused the Berlin Stock Exchange to be closed for two days in every week. Banks brokers, and jobbers swamped with thou sands of orders and clients stampedng to partici pate in the great boom in industrial shares Hundreds of extra clerks being engaged, working far into the night to cope with the overwhelming rush of buying and selling orders
 So runs the world away!

TO THE ExILEs AMONG US

This is a word addressed to those who feel themselves exiled. Each au- tumn hundreds of families come to Phoenix. Some come cheerfully into the liberty of the West: some come with a grouch. as though they had kissed civilization a final farewell Here are some facts that may miti- gate the lot of the exiled.
 You feel as you do very natural ly. Seneca banished to Corsica was not more hopelessly separated from the place he loved. Worse than stone walls or an emperor's edict are the endless miles of desert that stretch between you and "home." So you will stay here flor the present."
 But if you are a true philosopher vou will make the best of it. And the best is mighty fine. After you have found a house, or tent, and assembled a few pieces of furniture, you will look about you and discover that your lot Is cast in no mean city. Whether it seems so at the start or not. you are in a city of kindly people. who win do you good and not evil.
 You are fin a city that wants you to get well if you are sick. That's partly for her own sake. You are the material out of which Phoenix is building a metropolis. Call the roll of the exiles who came here after your manner and in your mood. and many of our best men and women would answer. Their number is ie- zion; they own the city and run It. So she would have you become be happy here.
 l,trY,drad ago a big nation carried little nation away captive. The men and wom- | en who went with chains about their neclls across that Syrian desert were | never to see their homes again. so they walled as they walked. But 3 wise man of their blood gave them some good advice, which has come down to us. Seek the peace of the city. he said to which you have been carried away captive and pray to Jehovah for it, for in the peace thereof ye shall have peace.
 How excellent that isl Make thi: city your city! Love it, pray for It serve it, seek it's peace, and before you are aware miracle will nave happened to you. You will have wor health and happiness, and your exile will be at an end.
 Embrace the city, don't wait for il to embrace you. Be yourself tht aggressor. If you have lodge, go to it.

Call upon the minister of the church of your choice and tell him you are here. He may not be thrilled by the announcement, yet he will be honestly glad to see you | Don't stand on ceremony too long; ceremony is not a god here in the West-as it sometimes seems to be ! elsewhere

 But not a song of love; That might not be the proper thing For me to warble of. For though perhaps I know you well. Perhaps l know you not, don't know where or how you dwell Nor who you are. nor what! I will not sing your form so frail Nor of your beauty rave, Flo, you might be husky male
 Who badly needs shave; I cannot praise your joyous youth Because. for all 1 know, You may have cut your wisdom tooth Some fifty years ago. Yet this l know-unless this lay

 And wholly gone to waste; So though it's vague and silly, too, I hope from out the throng To win some need of praise from

ways you will open up ditches of communication through which wa ters of neighborly kindness will some time flow into the desert of your loneliness. The way to have friends is to show yourself friendly.
 Whatever you do. don't sit on park bench and cuss the town. It won't hurt the town. but it will hurt you. In deep and serious ways you poison yourself. and neutralize the benefits of the sunshine when you are bitter of heart. Seek the peace of the city of your exile. for in its peace you will find peace.
 Neither will you rail at the uni- verse. It's a good world. and this is soft and wholesome air. Unstring your tense nerves, forgive or forget your enemies, shake out all the folds of your being and saturate yourself with the sunshine. Talk to the peo- pie who can see good. in the world about them. Believe the optimists.
 As for the town, we'll admit it can be improved. Some day we want to try to say what The City of Tomor- row should be. Will you, in such leisure as you have. think construc- lively aloT this line. and send us your suggestions? What can Phoe- nix do for her exiles to make then more quickly feel at home?

THE GOVERNMENT FIGHTS RATS

experimental work. It was recently discovered that 40 fruit trees on the farm were dying as the result of damage done to their roots by mice and rats working underground, while it was probable that a great many other trees had been weakened in the same way. And these were no ordinary orchard trees. Each of them had some special experimental sig nificance and each of them repre- scented 20 years of care. It will take another twenty years to replace them.
 Professor Silver, the most eminent of the biological survey rodent kill CTS. was assigned to this important case. He found that it was an ap- palling example of the variety and versatility of the mouse and rat family. For one kind of rat and three kinds of mice were at work in this valuable orchard. The mice were the short tail mice. pine mice and mead How mice. Some of them worked un- derground and some on the surface. Some of tf em worked at night and some during the day.
 Poison did not at first tempt these animals because they enjoyed the tender roots of the fruit trees more than any bait which was offered, and also becau~e the rain and dew had washed the poison off the bait. Pro- lessor Silver. none the less. ultimate
 ly succeeded in poisoning a good many of them by placing the most tempting baits in glass cases which the mice could enter, but which pro- tected thu bait from the weather.
 He also caught many of the animals by the use of small steel traps. The third measure employed was that of warning all of the surrounding farm CTS not to kill hawks or owls. as these birds are the greatest natural enemies of all kinds of mice and rats |. As a result of all these measures the mouse and rat population of the
 experimental farm has been greatly
 reduced and 1t seems certain that 1 the animals will not succeed ir | thwarting some lines of government
