Listened to British.

Unfortunately for themselves. the
French listened 70 1ritiso, not to
American arguments They accept

than American experts as to Ger

Germany could pay both for recon-
struction and pensions. France had
every reason for insisting that she
should But. by contrast, IL Ger
many could only pay sums which
would be sufficient for reconstruc-
ton. the French were interested
more than any one else in RESTRICT
ing the charge to this kind of dam
age.
The point here Is a little obscure
but tremendously important. Note
what happened: The British per-
suaded the French to include pen-
sions. This doubled the sum Of
reparations. more than doubled II.

Demonstrated Accuracy.
This reasoning soon demonstrated
its accuracy. Soon after peace was
restored the British found that Ger
man coal deliveries to the conti-
mental nations automatically re-
duced British coal exports enor-
mously. France. long dependent
upon British coal, now obtained her
fuel almost exclusively from Ger
many and at prices fixed by official
action and So low as to make i'm =
possible all British competition. In
Italy and in Belgium something of
the same process was visible.
Meantime, by deliberately infiat-
ing their currency. the Germans
were creating a situation by which
their labor was so much more
poorly paid than British that Ger
man goods could be sold in the
markets of the world at prices
vastly lower than British. Again,
the result was further expansion
of British unemployment. 1t was
clear. then. TO all British observers
that British Interest was concen-
trated in restoring German cur
rency to its. old value and thus re-
ducing German competition.
Equally was II to British advantage
to reduce the sum Of all reparations,
for since these reparations were
paid in goods. in German goods, IL
any payment was made. British
manufactures would be again ham
dicapped. = =, -. :

AN UNPLEASANT SITUATION.

That jury service might prove unpleasant
for women was foreseen when it was realized
that such duty should devolve on them as
feature of admission to full rights of citizen
ship. Tt was easily imaginable how it might
prove embarrassing to herd women and men
together in the manner in which Jurors have
been accustomed to be kept together in grave
cases. Experience has shown that the worst
that was foreseen was not more than has come
to pass.
An instance is reported from Minnesota
where seven women and five men were kept
together in one room for two days and two
nights while they were endeavoring to agree
on a verdict. The laws of Minnesota regard
ing the herding of jurors may be unusually
rigid They are too rigid in the case of mixed
juries when men and women are not permitted
to separate even to sleep. It is stated that the
situation raised deep howl of protest on the
part of husbands of the women on the Jury.
While there has been a demand on the
part of some women for full equal rights and
these have been accorded in large measure even
to sitting on iuries. it might not have robbed
the of any real privilege had women stop
ped short of seeking service as jurors. Jury
duty may not be agreeable for men, though it
is part of citizenship that cannot be avoided.
The character of the case to be heard may
make it specially disagreeable for women.

NEED NOT WIN.

A lawyer sued doctor out in Idaho to col
lect legal fees, which the doctor refused to pay
alleging that the attorney was guilty of NAL
practice in that he did not win the case which
he was employed by the physician as counsel.
The supreme court held that the lawyer was
entitled to his fee even if he did not win the
case, unless there was a contractural agree
ment to the contrary. As bit of pleasantly
the supreme court in its decision compared the
case in hand with that of physician who treat
ed patient to the best of his ability but des-
pite the medical attention the patient died.
The court said the physician could not be held
to have been guilty of malpractice simply be-
cause the patient died and that it was not to
be accepted that because of the death of the
patient the physician could not collect his pro-
fessional fees. This dispatches say that the
physician complainant recognized the force of
the supreme courts logic and arranged to pay
his lawyer. By the way did you ever hear Of
any one winning suit against a lawyer in
volving the question Of fees, asks the Fort
Wayne News. We though not.
