il she decided to invade the German
industrial cities-a grim alternative.
But now France, held up by the
threat from Germany Cat least the
present German Government), is will
ing to come into some cooperative
scheme for Russian reconstruction.
Here is the way that might be taken,
as it should have been taken before.
The Soviet delegates could be faced
at The Hague. as elsewhere, with q
united front, including Germany. and
in return for credits would have to ac-
cept conditions which they now evade.
France, which opposed discussion Of
Red army rehabilitation offered by
Tchitcherin because it opened general
discussion, which might weaken the
French strength in armed force. could
be persuaded to support that condi-
ton now she has drawn closer to
Great Britain to avoid isolation.
With backing from the United
States this scheme could still go
through as a good business policy. 1t
would save the Russian people, for the
Bolshevist Government would come
into line with the ordinary code Of in
ternational honor. 1t would also break
the sinister meaning Of that German
treaty of Rapallo. by which at present
Germany is left alone in the field with
the Russian Government. These things
are worth thinking about by all men
and women. They are the only things
that matter, not so much to our pres
ent generation but to children yet un-
born who would be the victims of the
next Armageddon unless we try to
save them now.

Berlin's Diamond Bourse
Now Housed in Old Cafe,
Protected Against Theft

have seen a hundred or them drawn up
about the little round tables passing
stones from hand to hand. There were
holdups and swindles until one fine day
the police forbade Jewel trade in the
cafes. The principal reason for this con-
troll was that jewel trade had gone un-
foreground without any tax return to the
Government treasury. Tax collectors
could not hide under every cafe table. x
Protection for Trade.
The diamond business was falling into
disrepute. Responsible dealers then de-
cided to form bourse. Having developed
the cafe habit, they took room in the
National Cafe and bricked 1t in. free
from all contamination of the outside
world
Here they gather about the same little
round table. Stones are no longer passed
feverishly from hand to hand but are
examined and weighted at leisure. This
concentrated control has also checked
the traffic in stolen gems. Notice of
stolen jewels is more likely to bring re-
suits when left with the Friedrichstrasse
diamond bourse than when reported to
the police. Oftentimes rings are identi-
fed.
Recently q jeweler whose shop had
been robbed traced an important theft
through the bourse. There was no trace,
nothing to identify the thief. Every
thing was as it had been and all locks
were intact. One Of the rings, how
ever, appeared some time later at the
bourse. 1t was traced back to the
nephew Of the jeweler. While at dinner
he had managed to steal the keys from
an overcoat pocket Of the jeweler. Dur
ing the meal he had time to open and
rob the safe and to return the keys to
his uncle's pocket and himself to return
to the table for dinner as though moth
ing had happened.
The bourse also helps the tax col
lector. Sales are made in regular fashion
and registered at the bourse. Foreign
ers are obliged to make their payments
in the currency Of their country. The
money is then put at the disposal Of the
Government bank. This little diamond
bourse is the busiest spot in central
Europe with one of the largest turn
overs.

Dollar n Sign of the Time.
The dollar sign cabaret is a sign Of the

an outgoing tide on which desperate

the dollar post-the only well planted
object they see in the ffux about them.
Spectators gather at the cabarets and
speculation is the subject of conversation
on and off the stage. Because America'
is the land of dollars. it comes most into
the dollar cabaret program. Near jazz,
cowboy shouts, the American square

supposed to heighten the American at
