Dozens of Lithuanian Officials Are
Returned Americans.

The "main street" of Kovno. which
has always resembled. to certain e:t-
tent that of n wild west town, has be-
come more Americanized than ever.
Dozens OF men now playing prominent
roles in the Lithuanian government
and in business here are Lithuanians
who have been in America and re-
turned TO their birthland since the
country won It's independence, relates
Kovno, Llthuania dispatch. Sor1e
OF the business men still retain, their
American citizenship More strictly
American type clothes are noted in
Lithuania. than any other country in
Europe.
" Lithuania, exclusive of the disputed
Villa territory, has about 2,5OO,OO0 In
habitants. At least 100000 of these
have been at one time or another, in
America while. according to Lithuan-
ian statistics, nearly q million of Lii
thuanian birth or parentage are now
residing in the. United States. The
country being almost exclusively ag-
ricultural. they do not usually congre-
gate in large cities. Among those in
America. however, are many coal
miners distributed about the Pennsvl-
vania and Illinois mining fields.

who scarcely believe anything at all, but
all follow the path blazed by the Great

- spite Increase of Tractors.

Horse Association of America, told the
members of the American society OF
agricultural engineers jn session in
Chicago, that farm experts of various
states had failed to aid in increasing
the efficiency Of, the motive power
most used on the farms and that this

signed to bring out and popularize

Mr.. DinsmOrc quoted figures which
showed that there were more than H.
OOO, 900 horses and mules on farms III

and 134.1G9 trucks.

ton of the American Historical asso-

PROTECTION FOR POTASH
Thirty.four American Concerns Ask
for Heavy Tariff on Fertilizer.

for Heavy Tariff on Fertilizer.
The thrty-four American fertilizer
concerns which contracted to take 75
per cent. of their potash requirements
for this season from the German
Potash Syndicate have contracted with
French mines in Alsace for the re-
manning % per cert the Senate FL
nance committee was. told last Friday
by Wilbur I4aroe Of Washington, Of
counsel for the United States Potash
Producers association. These thirty
four companies produce more than 20
per cent Of the potash fertilizer turned
out in this country, Mr.. Iaroc said.
He testified that the federal trade
commission had reported in 1916 that
the Virginia Carolina Chemical cop-
pany which is opposing tariff OH pot
ash, had important holdings in Ger
man potash mining companies. The
witness declarcd that if given protec-
ton for five years. as proposed. the
American potash industry could sup
ply all the needs Of the United States.
Unless it is protected. he added. Amer
lean farmers will be at the mercy OF
tho German potash company.
The committee was told that even If
the tariff were reflected in the price
of domestic potash it would amount 10
an Increase Of only from ten cents to
forty cents an acre ofcrops. Mr.. Laroe
said the American industry was built
up during the stress Of war and at war
prices, but that despite this prices h3d
been cut several hundred per cent.
from the peak price Of the war, cost
ing now ore dollar per unit of twenty
pounds OF pure potash.
American farmers are in favor OF
the proposed tariff, the witness con-
tiuucd declaring that they realized
that competition in the production Of
potash fertilizer was to their advan-
.age in the long lun.

GERMANY CAN'T PAY?
Hamburg Chamber of Commerce Says
Il Is a Physical lmpossibility.

The efforts Of Germany during -l92l
to fulfill her peace obligations nave
failed and ii IS idle to think that any
political or economic efforts will now
succeed unless these conditions are
modified. declared the annual report of
he Hamburg Chamber Of Commerce,
'SSued recently.
"Thuse who still believe the London
u'timatum can he carried OUT says
the report. either are without judG-
rent Or do not desire fu!fillment, but
the destruction of Germany, which in
time would react on France, England
and America
The report asserts a way out of the
dilemma could be found by very
simple means, as follows: ......
Revision of the treaty OF versailles
and of the London agreements to a
req sonable basis, making it possible
for Germany TO secure foreign credits;
a conference of issuing banks of in
tcrested nations for the regulation OF
German exchange and the rcstitutioH
of the German colonies, or at least a
German mandate over these colonies.
The report expresses slight faith II
the speedy return of world economic
normality and criticizcs the American
policy toward shipping in general and
toward German shipping in partlcu-
lar.

BOY SUICIDES
Little Cripple Couldn't Stand Taunts
of Friends and Ended His Life.

Nature beckoned in every flower
and bird and little animal to their low
ing brother Willie Simkowitz, but his
dragging leg and useless arm always
halted him far short of such COM
panionship, and the human little ami
mails plagued him with taunts. oh,
you cripple" They closed the doors
and windows to the joy of life for the
boy of sixteen years old. paralyzed on
one side from his infancy.
The bitter tragedy Of his fate must
have overwhelmed his bright, sensi-
tive. soul yesterday, alone in his home
No. 81 Washington Place, Passaic.
says the New York World of last
Wednesday. His brother John, eleven,
q newsboy was busy on the streets
with his papers. His sister. Sophie,
fourteen, was out or some school girl
affairs of Christmas holidays. His
father was at work in Il mill and his
mother had gone to shop for the fam.
lily dinner.
ayillie's three canary birds twit-
tered as their cages swung in the
sunshine of his room. Pictures of
birds and dogs and wild animals COW
cred its walls. But Willie had no eyes
for them. The picture IN his soul was
future of hobbling through jeers and
lameness. So the boy cut loose from
so black a life. He hanged himself
from gaspipe in the bathroom.
Sometimes with crutch, sometimes
making his painful way WITHOUT it.
the child was q pathetic figure in the
neighborhood where he was held In
warm affection. He was invited to
every Christmas tree party, and al
most always Willie was Santa. Claus
because, he took the part SO well and
the little children we're so tickled with
what he said when he gave them their
presents. r
The little ones loved him but the
boys of his own age made his school
life unbearable. Willie was so much
brighter than most of them, with
their whole legs and arms, the stupid
and cruel among them could never
forget and seldom forgare him. Many,
many times, his mother said, her lit
tie boy came bravely home but cried
his heart out for hours when safe
from the. eyes Of the boys who
had taunted him with his lamencss.
Dogs would do tricks at his nod and
bite at stronger lads who tried to make
them obey. Animals trusted him and
he loved them. reading every book on
natural history he could get. Pretty
li;tle girls would gather around VIII
lie as he sat on the floor and told
ghost stories as nobody else they
knew could tell them. Their knickcr-
bockered squires shivered in delight
over Willie's tales, but treated him
with mannish contempt then and call
cd him "Cripplcs" when the little girls
were not around.
The child, because his age was less
than his years, had real identity and
every neighbor who went to the Sim
kowitz home last evening had tears for
the boy who had found life too hard.
