Europe than at present.
Germany begins tbs new year with
a debt exceeding one trillion marks,
with lsrder rapidly becoming
empty, with no credit, and with the
repsrations commission declaring
her a voluntary defaulter. But there
are some encoursg ging signs. Chan
osllor Cuno's Christmas message was
that we are determined to make
sacrifices both in property and
money for the sake of Germany and
for the sake of peaceful cooperation
with other nations" This ia a step
in the right ireotion-indeed. It is a
step that Germany must take II she
is to escape dissolution. The
economic situation in Germany bears
so heavily upon the common man
and the common family that it Is be-
coming intOlerable. Prohteers have
reaped a. rich harvest at the expense
Of the allies and OF the German peo-
pie, but Germany remains, and must
have peaceful cooperation with
other nations" or die. No nation OF
60, 900 600 inha abitants can live in
quarantine, especially when 1t pro-
duces only twoAthirds OF the food it
consumes. Germany has reached the
end OF inflated money and debated
prices. The gap between money and
food Is too wide for the working
man. who will bridge It by violene.
when hunger pinohes, as It will this
winter.
The world Is confronted with the
necessity Of putting Germany on her
feet, not because OF any love Of Ger
many, but because Europe cannot be
well II Ons of Its principal members
becomes prostrats or dies. With
starvation threatening 20,000,0g0
Germans. tho alternative before Eu-
rope is TO help Germany or run The
risk OF a plunge into barbs rism. The
decay OF civilization in Russia has
been so geat as 10 place that country
one hundred years behind its neigh
bors. This descent was caused largely
by anarchy and the threat OF
"a mine. Europe escaped bolshevism.
but Il will not escape the ravsges OF
one OF the -Four Horsemen unless II
comes to the aid OF Germany.
The most encouraging single fac
tor in the situation is the growing
good feeling between Great Britain
and France. This is believed to be
based upon better understanding OF
Europe's difficulties and mutual
desire TO adjust them by co-opera-
tion in which the United States will
assist Another encouraging factor
is the growth OF responsible public
sentiment in Germany IN the dlrec-
lion Indicated by Chancellor Cuno-
peaceful cooperation with other
nations" The establishment OF a
strong government ip Germany is
badly needed. and the threat OF
VIII oiesale famine seems TO be driv- !
ing the people toward a policy Of
concillation and good faith in deal

Those who call themselves the
Workers of America offered the wage
esrners of this country day before
Yesterday Christmas gift of ahilia-
tion with the Red Labor Interna-
tionale. They declared outright
that this means American labor
should enlist for a soviet govern

declared as frankly that this will
entail a dictatorship of the pro-
letsriat." And they further de-
clared as follows:
1T will be the task OF that
Government (the Red dictator

SO what these Reds are asking Is
that the owners OF the 1000, 900
American farms consent to have

the value of fifty-five billions OF dol

billions of dollars; their live stock,

The real working people Of the
United states are not in the least
likely TO be affected by a proposal to
bring about conditions here like
those which now prevail in Russia

boring from within" They have
won the recognition OF the right TO

Everything the working man has
gained would he sacrificed should a
Communist party become sufficiently
important TO constitute a menace.

by the growth Of such party would
be the political weevils, and their

BOOM IN EMPLOYMENT.

From the Washington Post.
The decrease OF unemployment
which might be fairly inferred
from the immense volume OF Christ

Just completed by the empl oyrnent

There are but few OF the states
which do not report a much better
condition than that which prevailed
at this time last year. As a. matter
of fact, nearly all the manufacturing
states report a shortage Of skilled
mechanics-a situation which, how
ever embarrassing it is now or may
later become, Is proof that, at least
for that class OF labor. there is no
such thing as enforced 1oblessness.

WHAT THE UNSTABLE
MARK MEANS.

From the New York Herald.
II may seem strange to the Amer
lean public TO read the cable dis
patches telling Of the terrific jump OF
German marks as 1t is described.
When the mark is on a basis Of mi
croscOpic value a rise or a fall not
OF a fraction OF a cent but OF a frac-
tion OF a hundredth part of a cent
does not look sensational 10 those
who are close followers of ex-
change fluctuations. But TO men who
are trying to do business with one
another in German trade, whether
national or international, 6uctus-
tions OF a thoussndth part OF a dol
lar in the value of the mark when it
is far down in the bottomless abyss
can be vastly more serious than fiuc
tuations Of several cents would be II
the mark were near it's normal value.
After all. the fall of the mark from
a normal OF about % cents TO p
cents. say, while a loss OF a full
cents. would be a fall OF less than
per cent. That would be disturbing;
il could be dangerous, but it need
not be utterly ruinous. But what 1t
can mean for only 8 twentieth OF a
cent to fall out OF the value of
mark sinking from a tenth of A cent
will be realized If that financial dis
turbance is expressed in terms Of an
other money. A loss of a. tenth OF a
cent in q mark from the value Of
two-tenths OF a cent would be as II
the American dollar were 10 fall 10
fifty cent dollar. or as IL the British
pound were 70 fall from about $4.S7
TO about t2.4S.
ANYBODY can understand what
would befall an American selling
81. .OOO. 600 worth OF goods PAYABLE in
thirty days in American dollars and
then. because OF the value of the dol
lar being cut in half before the
thirty DAYS were up, getting only
$500. 600 for his goods that had cost
him TO make perhaps 100000.
In the same way anybody can com
prehend what would happen TO an
Englishman buying 100000 pounds
sterling Of goods, expecting to pay
100000 pounds sterling, or about
$500, 600 for them, in thirty DAYS and
then being called upon at the end OF
that period to pay for those goods
200, 600 pounds sterling, or about
because meanwhile the
pound sterling has doubled in value.
More drastic changes than that
have happened in the value Of the
German mark within the year. 1t
fell from value of siX-tenths of a
cent in January to little more
than a hundredth OF a cent in No
vember. That is as IL the American
dollar, worth 100 cents in January

NATURE LOVES BRIGHT cOLORS

We see the truth of the statement in
the varicolored flowers, the vivid sunsets,
the birds of brilliant plumage. But We
never see 1T exemplified more attractively
than in the person of a splendidls healthy
woman. How does nature paint this
health? Why, in the rosy cheeks, the
transparent skin, the smooth red lips of
such woman. And she molds it in firm
flesh and rounded contours. The ailing
woman is deficient in natural coloring,
and she does not even appear to advan-
tage in clothes that would set off her
more attractive sister. Many women who
too, can have these charms il they will give
