The Plunging Mark

Just now a red flag parade is pass
ing my window, with fife and drum
corps and probably 500 men, women and
children marching to the air of the
Internationale. 1t is protest against
the wild speculation in the mark. They
are factory and shop workers. They
haven't the least idea what the remedy
is, but they know that as the mark
goes down the prices of all necessaries
soar and that their wages are not
keeping pace. No one has a solution.
The highest government officials ad-
wise against buying foreign drafts and
speculation in the mark, but they have
nothing to offer to prevent it, and it
goes merrily on, dancing, seemingly,
the people to their national death.
Yesterday I bought 1920 marks for
the dollar. The prediction is common
that it will surely fall to the low estate
of the Austrian kronen. In that con-
nection have been making inquiries as

sunk A member of a banking house
told me {confidentially, he said it was)
the general plan was to make the mark
worthless. Then the leading banks of
Germany would join in an organization
which would be authorized by the
Reichstag to. issue bank notes to be
secured by gold or negotiable and
standard securities and commodities.
This new bank note, it is planned, is
to become the real money Of Germany.
The present mark, issued by the
Reichsbank, will go out of circulation
as being absolutely worthless, and all
business, even customs and state pay
ments, will be based upon and paid by
the notes issued by the combined banks

Tasf Production

Germany must be producing tre-
mendous amount of goods-fa:m prod
ucts and merchandise-this year. In
the cities vast quantities of merchan-
disc are being offered, not SO much for
home consumption but for export to
England aud America. Most of these
goods are shoddy. The largest Ameri
can and English houses have estab-
lished buying headquarters here and
apparently are purchasing very large
quantities of goods. 1t is to th-ir mon
ftary advantage TO do go. For instance,
yesterday l purchased small mechan-
ical screw driver to use on my eye
glasses and such other small work I
paid 60 marks for it, the equivalent
yesterday of about FIVE cents and prob
ably tomorrow four cents. That screw

The Republic Unstable

The republic - the present govern
ment-enjoys avery limited popularity.
10 me it seems to be another instance
OF the tyranny of the minority In six
weeks nave met all classes of Ger
mans. Those of limited intelligence in
the cities are lukewarm for the re-
public because they blame the Hohen-
zolierns for getting them into the war.
In the rural districts the people are
paying little attention to modes of gov
ernment. They are busy working. But
in the cities all conversation is on gov
ernment. I believe that the middle
classes and the upper strata are OPP
posed to the republic and long for the
return of monarchy the Hohen-
zollerns. Only at Potsdar, is there any
feeling for the Kaiser and his group.
The better classes in Berlin-I mean
the people. Of education and refinement
and Of responsibility, will welcome the
fall of the present government and will

they see in the not distant future.
OF course, am giving you this for
what it is worth. I have tried to stand
apart and get the perspective. But
thege is not the slightest doubt that
the existing government is weak and
that the property owners have no conf
dence in it. There are plenty Of wealthy

When Reasonably Safe.

Years ago railroad accidents attracted as
much attention as do airplane crashes today.
The public liked then to scar its sensitive feel
ings with white hot details. even more than
now. The recent loss OF a party flying from
Miami reused no more sense of needless trag-
edy than have many commonplace accidents
which now are ineffective and grown dull from
mere REPETITION. But did the high frequency
reports of old time railroad wrecks prevent the
development of the roads? II they did the in
fluence was short-Iived, obviously. The same
conditions exist now in regard to airplane
traffic The Association at Aeronautic Engi-
neers which net recently, thinks it likely that
air travel here is not as popular as in Europe
because the press has given undue attention to
accidents. The head-on crash between Lon
dom Paris aircraft, said Major S. L. Smith, re-
suited in actually checking passenger flights in
this country.
AS in the early days of the railroad, this
public anxiety and prejudice against public
utility will be but momentary. In Europe, it
is said, the first panicky feeling against new
danger to life put to common use has already
passed. 1t died a natural death; the familiar
can not remain fearful for long. If by plugging
ahead at their new passenger service the air
traffic companies can weather little public
worrying and prove that whole years went by
without accident their business will thrive, The
public, one of the executives has said, is told
only of the mishaps of few trips. This is TO
suggest that the public will become ac-
customed to occasional accidents in the new
field of service and that the number of acct
dents is fortunately small compared with the
advance and general increase in the com
mercial use of planes

One In Hundred Succeeds.

IF you are under 20 years of age and have
no independent means of support, stay away
from the motion picture studios" is the adj
vice of film star to hundreds of inquirers
whose letters flood his mail daily There is
further bit of counsel which modifies this a
bit 1t Is: "One girl out of 100 succeeds. II
you are willing TO take your chances with the
other SO, go ahead. You may win out, because
hard plugging and determination count more
than any other factor"
The popular idea Of a movie actors life has
little TO do with plugging or hard work. But
the fact remains that success in any line-even
in motion picture acting calls for more than
luck and good looks Artistic perfection, grace
full and beautiful and apparently simple when
attained, calls for more stiff perseverance,
hard practice and logged determination than
do mastery of bookkeeping systems or tipping
skill.

Some Plaques of Civilization.

Few people will question that authority
never challenged critically as it is to-
day. 1t is questioned in government, in religJ
ion, in science and in education. There are two
ways in which men attempt to sustain author
ity. One is by force. The other is by the
power of truth. The is material, the other
spiritual. Truth is the one thing that needs no
defense. 1t speaks for itself and speaks with
authority. Truth admits of no evasion without
collecting the penalty. The great resentment
against all kinds of authority is much more
than rebellion against things as they are and
were. 1t has become a state of mind. In part
it is born of a hunger for better world. Dis
appointed idealism and human preversity have
combined to produce the present rebellion
against authority.
Hatred RACES over the world. Not even
diplomats can curb it The cure is obvious.
The question is, how are We going to express
the spirit of brotherly trust in good will when
there are so many forces opposed TO each other
in the world? The pope in a recent address to
his cardinals advocated an increasing emphasis
on the supremacy of love and the necessity for
putting the spirit OF brotherhood into every
phase of human conduct. 1t is a great chal-
lenge, for this spirit must be brought into hu-
man character. The aversion to work is due
largely TO the widespread evil of profteering.
Economists in America and elsewhere have
pointed out that it is due to the seeming fu-
tility of work because of the many inequalities
and injustices in our Industrial and social
systems Here again We pass beyond methods
OF the human problem If religion can bring
forth spirit of larger justice that will give a
greater incentive to the people who toll we
will get back TO work. Another element is the
grief of the world war. The heart of humanity
is discouraged. If religion can give rebirth of
hope the churches will have performed time
ly service.
Our excessive love of pleasure is the natural
reaction from present conditions Correct
other things and people will normaIize in their
attitude toward pleasure The love of pleasure
is only little lower than the pursuit of hap
piness, which is one of the supreme motives in
life In the struggle TO overcome materialism
and develop more spiritual mindedness it is
good to know that there is everywhere a grow
ing realization that civilization itself is a work
OF faith. The picture drawn by the pope in
his recent address is not altogether dark pic
ture. II indicates a breaking OF the clouds and
NE expectations Of new and better day.

An Inspiration for Patriotism.

The former British frigate Macedonian has
been wrecked by fire at her Island City pier,
New York. The incident is a reminder of one
OF the hero tales with which American history
is repIete, but which given but casual men
tion or ignored entirely ID present day school
text books. The battle between the American
frigate United States, under the command of
Stephen Decatur. and the Macedonian was one
of the momentous events of the war of 1912
and added fresh laurels TO the renown of the
American commander.
Stories such the United States Macedon-
Ian fight are the inspiration of our patriotism.
No history text book, regardless Of the school
grade in which it is intended for USE is COM
plete without stirring accounts of those events
The first impression the young pupil receives
when he enters school should be one of re-
spect for his government, veneration for its
statesmen and admiration for its heroes. They
should be constantly before him during his
course and emphasized up to the day of his
graduation.
