BERLIN, Dec. 31.-Despite the
unspeakable distress which the Ger
man people are now passing
through we must not give up hope
for better future. The crux of
the present misery is generally rec
ognized to be chiefly economic dis
migration, but economic recovery
is impossible without spiritual and
moral regeneration.
All Are Links In Chain.
The war caused an excess of pc.
litical selfishness. lust of power and
unbridled hatred; consequently the
true healing OF war wounds is pos
sible only through human fellow
ship, moderation and the Cancellation
OF genuine peace. These can be
achieved only from cooperation of
all peoples.
No nation or government must for
get that each is only a link in the
greatest chain of humanity. When
one becomes sick and the remaining
do not succor II all the others in
evitably become infected.
In our great misery it is certain
consolation to see this realiza ton
dawning upon the rest of the world.
The German people surely have not
reached the end of their sufferings
for we know there are hard trials
still ahead. But in time of stress
the forces Of the nation must exert
10 the utmost their strength and
energy to work for a better future.
Therein ! see a guarantee of better
times.

BY MARIA VERONE.

ems Rights.
PARIS, Dec. 31.--French women
hope that 1922 will bring them victory
In the political domain. They hope
the Senate will no longer refuse the
rights which the chamber of deputies
gave to French women two years
ago, but which the Senate failed to
confirm. Political rights already have
been granted to the Belgian women.

Scientist.
PARIS, Dec. 81 believe that the
future will see the important new
discoveries In the field of science.
Never before had we so many means
at our disposal and we should profit
by them.
BY PROF. TUFFlER,
Leading Surgeon in France.
PARIS, Dec. 81 believe that
mill hn n a
searches in the surgical field. l be-
'ieve that strides will be made in the
cure of illnesses without operations
and that new serums and vacCines
will be found to pre- vent sickness. In
a majority of cases heretofore surgi-
cal attention has been required.
BY HENRI BARBUsSE,
Famous French Publist and Political
Expert.
PARIS, Dec. 81 do not think
that 1922 will see many notable
changes in the present state of af-
fairs. l am of the opinion that the
world is now oscillating between two
great alternatives from the social
point of view. The idea of a new
order of affairs is Numerically op.
posed to the present order" 1t aims
at the disappearance of sovereignty,
of the individual element, that is to
say, of the masses. Socialism in the
world has not yet attained the age of
old men, and already it moves and
terments hundreds of millions of in.
dividualities. 1t is certain that the
new reorganization will one day or
another replace by mere force of cir.
cumstances and by strength of hu.
mainly the still deeply rooted struc.
ture.
