SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Tho Reliable Optimist.

1N0 Ne4IaDlC VptlnIBts
They tell us that the world is wronl
And everything is queer.
But that's an old and plaintive song
Which robins never hear.
They say we're on destruction bent,
With Trouble roaming free.
But that's line Of argument
The flowers never see.
No matter what we humans say
AS apprehensions cling,
The world goes on its happy way
OF song and blossoming.

Figures compiled by school officials
show that about 10000 children are

The luncheons are served at 1880
o'clock each morning during the
recess period The children are given
half pint of milk in bottle. straw
and several graham crackers for
cents The luncheons for week cost
25 cents, which the pupils are re-
quired to pay in advance. In some
schools the parent-teacher associa-
lions or the mothers' clubs provide
the milk and crackers for children
who cannot afford to buy them.
Serving OF the midmorning lunch
cons Is an outgrowth of the nutrition
work in the public schools. 1t was
first started about u year ago by the
parent-teacher associations with the
idea that the children would be bene-
fitted.
The results of the luncheons have
been 80 satisfactory that many
schools not now doing so are planning
to- have them served to the children:

authorities that within the next year

debts, reparations and the German
crisis all TO be discussed-seem8 %
be forecast for the near future by de-
velopments here to-day. The French
position Is clear that the moratorium
must be studied carefully with a COM
plete program Of regulation for the
European financial situation. IL is held
hsro that the German moratorium Is
70 remedy for the conditions IN that
country, and that her only salvation Is
a loan from outside, which is impos-
sible unless the rest Of Europe comes
10 a settlement Of its own financial
difficulties.
The semi-offlcial Temps" says; "The
plan for a German external loan has
not progressed since the failure OF the
bankers committee. We hear nothing
except a demand for a moratorium, and
IL is perfectly clear that this will do
nothing but encourage further negli-
gence and prodigality. France will
firmly resist any moratorium plan that
does not include In an inseparable man
ner a complete program for financial
relief.H
Belgium Holds the Key
Belgium holds tho key position IN re-
gard 70 the final moratorium vote. Hes
Interests vary between those Of France
and Britain, who are notoriously op-
Tcsed. England Is highly desirous Of
the moratorium 70 bolster up the feeble
mark, while France is firmly insisting
upon collecting reparation and rebuild
ing districts devastated by war. IN
quiry in high Belgian circles shows
that the country Is doing its best 10
figure It's way out Of a delicate situa-
tion. The great industrials incline TO
the British view, although the country,
as France, needs reparations badly. In
dications are that Belgium will seek 70
reconcile France and British views and
support the move for a big financial
conference.
The Temps" recalls that France, by
virtue Of the Versailles Treaty, must
bow TO n majority decision OF the
Reparation Commission, but further
quotes the treaty 20 say that any gov
eminent has a right 20 withdraw after
twelve months preliminary notification
confirmed within six months Of the
original notice. The Temps says this
text of the treaty will not be insisted
on "immmediately.' The paper fur
ther recalls that before any suspension
or reduction Of German payments can
be made the commission must first
estimate Germany's ability TO pay and
must assure that reparation come be-
fore all other expenses II Germany Is
found paying any expenses Of the in
terror before paying reparations the
commission must, the Temps" says,
proclaim that Germany has defaulted
and so notify the Allied governments.
Declaring the only solution Of the
German problem IS an external loan,
the "Temps" adds that this Is impos-
sible without a cancellation OF Allied
debts, and calls on England to cancel
her credits on her ether allies. ending
