GERMANY may now claim to
have the most complete ana
comprehensive telegraphic cod4 in
the world Five years has been re-
quired for the compilation Of this
material. and the work il invested
with an unique quality by the fact
that not only technical code ex.
perts were employed upon the staff.
but an additional group Of special.
lists from all the outstanding
branches Of German industry.
Exporters. importers. banks. IN
surance and shipping companies
all contributed their quota of
knowledge and experience to tho
stupendous mass of material.
which Is called the Rudolph Mosse
Code" in memory Of the late pub
Usher and owner Of the Berl!ner
Tageblatt. to whom It owes its In.
ception.
Before the war Germany was
solely dependent upon an English
code for its telegraphic intercourse
with other countries-a plan which
had decided disadvantages for the
Germans, as they learned to their
cost during the war. a foreign Ian
guage code imposed certain WELL
defined restrictions. as in order to
be able to use II exhaustively and
intelligently something more was
required than a superficial knowl-
edge Of the foreign idiom.
It was the war. however. which
gave an impetus to this new code.
which contains a seemingly endless
collection Of complete sentences
and phrases. together with an
equally comprehensive list Of tech
nical terms taken from the indus
trial. commercial and economic
phraseology. whereby the user, Of
the code are able to form literally
millions Of combinations.
There are supplementary lists o:
the outstanding articles sold In
the world markets: lists Of the lead
Ing manufactures. banks. shipping
and insurance companies and rail-
road lines: geographical lists Of
cities. rivers, canals and water.
ways, a special division devoted to
medical terms. thus facilitating an
exchange Of messages between
physicians: and still another divis-
ion in which is to be found the
sportsman's phaseology in all its
ramifications.
This exhaustive material is di.
vided into more than 100000
phrases. all Of which are presented
in the most lucid manner. Indeed.

TT IS, Of course. fantastic to
suppose that 1t is the duty Of
the United States to rescue
Europe from the consequences Of
its own folly or to deliver every
nation under the sun from the
evils which each has helped to
bring upon its own posterity.
On the other hand. It would be
unchristian and uncivilized to sup

desire to live 30 isolated and apart
as not to care whether Europe
came to q general smash.
Between these two extremes lies
the course which the big heart Of
America will take. feel confident.
once the good will and good sense
of Europe itself becomes apparent.
The fact that women are voters
IN both England and America
should help this desirable end
enormously. Women are 50 much

men that they have not yet learned
the lesson Of stand -offishness, and
II English and American women

each other, all will be well.

the sort Of understanding which

What Europe needs is to BE-

can people can enormously hasten
the time when that recovery
arrives.
