There is to great extent pret- -ty good Idea among the members of the commission as to just what the condi- tions are in the new republic financially, and it Is to be expected that the conn mission will be able to deal efficiently with the plea that is now put forth.
 Plainly 1t Is evident that delay in the payments required Of Germany Is pref efaBie to bankruptcy. What that might produce in that country may be uncer- tain but 1t would not help the situation from the standpoint of the allies. There is the possibility of the return to a mon archy.
 The confession and plea of Germany must get serious attention regardless of what is felt about the failure on the part of that country to do it's utmost to pro. vide the money called for by the treaty It is not to be expected that it is to be shown ieniency just because 1t has dodged its duty It has Of course made it's own nest and 1t should be expected to occupy 1t. but there must be corsid eration for the effect which such threat ems to have upon 4fe other nations which are depending so greatly upon making Germany pay.

The proposition that has been subrnit- ted to the coal miners and operators by President Harding is intended to bring about a proper solution of the present dispute in the coal industry. It Is q move which is made because 1t IS dis- closed that they cannot agree among themselves, and because the continuance of the deadlock means a coal shortage and detrimental effects in many ways upon the general public.
 According to the presidents idea there would be an immediate resumption of the mining of coal. He aims to get pro- duction for the sake of preventing the threatened shortage. He would have them go back to work for the same wages they were getting when the strike opened and to continue under those wages for the next month in which time it would be possible for the commission to get at the facts and decide what should be done. It means that both par. ties to the dispute must agree to place their cards on the table and let the com mission. made up of three representa- lives each of miners and operators anG five to be named by the president fol the representation of the public, decidt what the conditions warrant and thel abide By the decision. whatever 1t ma! be. Furthermore the commission would continue to make a study of the coal In dustry for the purpose of deternnininl what other steps ought to be taken t, end conditions which ought not to pre- vail
 Here Is a proposition that Is being pu forth by the government for the welfar of the nation. 1t takes into eonsidera ton the fact that the coal industry Is t large degree a matter of national con cern. It calls for arbitration and 1t in sists upon respect for the decision what ever the commission may conclude. | likewise recognizes the fact that ther is no telling how long the deadlock ma, continue if it is decided to fight the mat ter out on the present demands of tn respective sides.
 President Harding has put forth i proposition which ought toS>be accepted and it Is unquestionably / a plan tha might we'll be established through legis lation as means for stabilizing the cos industry and preventing the country froi being kept in state of uncertainty fc months through repetition of preyailin conditions every year or two.

to make q literary reputation. He. took to this form of literature to retrieve his financial misfortunes in 1913. He had given it practically no attention until 1905, when he sketched out the opening chapter of "Waverley." When he needed money badly he resurreeted tiIis old man. uscript and resolved to complete the story. It was published anonymously for which several reasons were given. One of these was that he considered the writing of noYels as beneath the dignity of a clerk of the Court Of Sessions.
 It was not until 1927 that Scott form ally divulged the secret. Some years before this, however, all If Scott's friends knew that he was the author of the 'rWaverley" series as well as g great many others, but he seemed to en- joy the novelty of having the general public guessing as to the authorship and no one read the many articles writ ten on the subject with keener interest than did Scott. Besides, he9said that it relieved him Of the annoyance, of fool ish compliments and it was not un- proftaible-eursosfty about the 'Great Unknown keeping alive the interest in his works.
 The secret was Sc well, kept by all to whom it was definitely trusted and Sc many devices were used to throw con lecture off the scent that even Scott's | friends, who were certain of the au. 1 thorship from internal evidence, were occasionally puzzled
 i To make the secret still more Of q mystery Scott kept on producing in hIs own name, as great an amount of worl as 1t would seem that the human brair was able to produce, and it Is no won. der that the most positive interpreter: of internal evidence were puzzled Asid, from all the literary work that he wa! publishing undet- his ov9n mama, hl wrote this series of novels and at tn, same time kept open house at Absots ford in fine old feudal fashion and wa i seldom without visitors.
 This fact made the authorship Q 'Waverley" still more uncertain. Whel did he do the vast amount of work tia such bulky volumes would require if was really Scott who was writing them This was the question that his friend asked one of the other. Even the ieS

al Geographic society, the famous bronze Cock of Jemappes,' surrnounting a stone shaft, which the French have just replaced in Belgium.
 When it is known" says the bulletin, that this shaft on Belgian soil com fnemerates a French victory over Ger man enemy, it might be assumed that it relates to a battle of the recent World war; and Belgian interest could be un- derstood easily. But the battle Of Je- mappes took place over a century ago. and it's memory means even more to France than a memory of the victories of 1914 1913. It was the first great victory won by the armies of the French republic soon after the French Revolution brought 1t into being. The defeated Germans were Austrians who at the time held what is now Belgium as a conquered territory. The victory at Jefnappes in 1792, stands | then, somewhat like the fall of the Bas- tile, as a treasured symbol to the French of the rise to power of Republ1- can France. From the realization that the hastily equipped soldiers of the re- | public could defeat the trained forces of Austria came the confidence that~1ed a | few years later to the victorious sws sp I through Europe of the armies of Napol- 1 con
 For a short period Austria gained pos session Iof Belgium in the years imnedi- ateiy after Jemappes; but from 1T95 to l1S14, Belgium was an integral part of the French Republic.

 There isn't anything in the way Of regulation that appeals to the drivers who have no respect for the other fel- low and who are disposed to speed re- gardless of what the conditions are But regulations are not expected to meet their Approval even though they are fe- sponsible for them Thus when 1t is in sisted by the Massachusetts require. ments that those who hit a child witt machine are to blame 1t can be antici. pated how they howl.
 This is provision Of the law whicf is intended to create greater care on til, part of the drivers, to cause them tt be on their guard and to have their car; under such control that they can proven accidents. Now there are many time when the driver of an automobile Is no to blame for hitting a child.
