Finds Germany Sanguine

A TTRACTED by a recent editorial in The
~ Herald headed Poor Rich Germany" Ar
thur Newton Pack, commissioner for the American
Forestry Association to the allied countries and
Germany, submits some interesting observations
concerning the hourishing conditions of the great
Black Forest, which all the demands of war could
not demoralize in extent tree-hcalth
Commissioner Pack believes that Germany is
than able to meet the demands of France and
other victor nations in the matter OF lumber rcpara
tons. He says:
Almost unscathcd the famous Black Forest Of
Germany passed through the world war:
Hardwood districts famous in Bavaria show
an increase;
Germany easily meet forest repatriation de-
mauds the part OF the allies;
White pine blister rust with which New Eng
land is familiar has made some headwav in
Germany;
Saw and paper mills arc working in three
cght-hour shifts;
'In South Germany | saw little or no uncm-
ploymcnt:
Nearly every factory in South GERMANY is
working at capacity;
Water power OF the Black Forest is being de-
velopcd more rapidly than ever before;

guilt;
industrial leaders pride themselves that in

quo;

said at the arms conference in Washington in re-
gard to Watching Germany.
"Replanting OF war-destroyed forests with III.

a week or so ago a well-dresscd
handsome gentleman on one of the
crack" trains running from CHI.
cago to Washington called tho at
tention OF the passengers in tho
observation car to the beautiful re-
rolver in his possession and suC-
gested that he would appreciate re-
ceiving their pocketbooks. The
obliging passengers lined Up in true
motion picture style and Erdciously
extended the accommodation that
was desired, whereupon the kind
gentleman bowed to the passengers
who stood at attention. pulled the
hell cord, aliEhted as the train
slowed down, stepped into his watt
ing Limousine and was driven swift
ly away by his chauffeur.
Because of his skill and courtesy
the well-dressed gentleman re-
ceived favorable consideration at
the hands of the reporters and I'M
doubtedly was satisfied with the
press compliments rendered him
because of the successful manner In
which ne Hdu ndnuleO a ullllCuiN

Last week a woman into whose
face a revolver was poked grabbed
a ball club and hit her assailant 80
hard that il broke his skull. He
was removed ANONYMOUSLY in an
ambulance.
Perhaps il deeds such as this
woman performed received more
praise from reporters and editors
there might not be so many desir-
Gus of trying their luck as collec-
tors II pocketbooks.
IL the newspapers should play
up" those who put robbers to flight
would not an increasing number OF
individuals seek this method for
getting their pictures in the paper!
Would there not he such a change
in the spirit of the people as TO put
the "hold-up" business in the class
of extra hazardous occupations? Is
not the newspaper the best police
man that We have? Cannot tho
public press by the dissemination
of virile ideals and the promoting
OF a wholesome spirit among hon
est men do more toward preservinE
good order than any other one

Washington's Prosperity

wv ASHlNGION was singuariy fortunate
w during 1921 in not having seriously felt
economic depression and in having had
practically failures-in sharp contrast to many
cities.
The conference OF Washington has created a
feeling OF confidence, the psychological effect Of
which was great increase in spending
The normal accumulation of bank deposits be-
yond the usual needs OF borrowers here has en-
dbleC the banks to supply all worthy borrowers
with funds. Many OF the banks, in anticipation Of
lower for money, have also been investing
large in long time bonds yielding IA and
per cent, giving them a basis OF earning power in
excess OF new banks entering the field. The newer
banks must in safely investing funds, accept new
securities at yield OF about per cent lower, as
also all investors.
The past year in all probability the best
year for profits the bankers of Washington
have had for some time.
|: is d clear fact that should be confronted and
that with the increased number OF banks the
profits in banking will be less. 1t is. however,
understood that some steps are being taken by the
associated banks to place banking in Washington
a equitable and economic bass-to reduce
the waste growing out OF the lack OF organization
among bankers and the lack of knowledge in the
methods and requirements of sound banking by de-
positors.
There arc cross currents IN the general Imam
cial and business situation. but undoubtedly the
outlook is better.
The reduction in rental of the Meridian Man
Sions may have effect the building situa-
ton, but the absorption OF net reduction OF $I2-
900 in gross receipts OF $4,000 a reduction OF
over fraction above per cent gross income,
may be saved in economies, possibly in 1922.
Should there be a rcadjustment OF building
trade wages the basis paid in other cities that
will bring about saving to property owners and
allow OF reduction in rentals.
In short, face the future with conf

Fiipinos Must Wait.

THE conclusions and recommendations OF the
i Wood-Forbes mission to the Philippine
Islands will not be approved by the irrcconcilable
Filipino advocates of independence; they will not
be approved by those in the United States who urge
that best solution of the Philippines problem is
to get out OF the islands, at once and completely.
They will be approved, however, by the sober
majority that believes the duty and the task of the
United States in the Philippines have not yet been
discharged, and that is not in favor of Withdrawing
from an unfinished undertaking. Unouestionably,
if the United States were to consult only its own
selfish interest, the easiest way out OF the Philip
pines would be TO abandon the islands to the Fill
pinos. To do that would rid the United States of
lot of trouble. The Wood-For mission, how
ever, takes higher ground. Having put our hand
to the pillow, it would not be becoming in us now

and Eve ashamed of their sin. and
Grace quickly followed that convic-
ton in providing a Redeemer and a
Saviour. So much for righteousness
and the antiquity OF Christianity
and its work.
As for the Sabbath it belongs to
righteousness and not to Christian
ity. All that Christianity has to do
with the Sabbath is to restore il to
man. There can be no such thing
as A Christian sabbath. It is ever
the sabbath OF the Lord thy God"
The sabbath is older than Christi
anity and will endure to all eter-
nifty. Christianity will automatic
ally come to an end when righteous
ness is re-established in the earth
as il was in the beginning. The
work Of Christianity will then be
done because there will no longer
be any sin, but Righteousness will
not come to an end, therefore the
Sabbath will endure
As to the eating of foods which
God hath created to be received
with thankfulness by all who be-
lieve, etc, read Gen. 1923. 30. This
command involves no death nor the
perpetuation of sin. AS to Jesus
breaking the Sabbath, the charge is
without foundation. He did not go
out into the field to gather a har-
vest He simply gathered in His
hand that which was necessary for
His immediate need. He taught IL
