OUR SOLDIERS STILL THERE

Some of the American troops are still on
the Rhine, and the unpaid bill for this service
now totals $27O.OO0OOO. Of this forty million
dollars has been paid by German printing press
es when the American military authorities have
made requisition on the German authorities for
currency marks to pay those soldiers desiring
payment in that form, and fer similar purposes.
There is no sign that this big bill will be
met. for France is quite Indifferent whether the
Americans stay leave, while it is Germany
who desires the continued presence of the
American troops as check, presumably, on the
French Doubtless Germany would like to pay
this bill and consider it fair insurance pre-
MUM, but all her payments have to be made
through the allies, who have taken good care
that none of the cash should be diverted to re-
imbursing American expenses.
1t is a situation not to the liking of the
American public, for whom the war Is long
since over. Americans have ceased to think
in the phrases of wartime and regret the false
position in which the country is placed by be-
ing compelled to maintain an army for the exc
cution of treaty with which it has slight sym.
pathy.
The absence of scruple shown by the allies
in ignoring this just claim by the American
government for service wholly to the advan-
tage of the allies and sought by them, and
quite unwished for by the United States, should
not be overlooked

proach, that British consular agents never have
done that sort of thing.
True enough. But, as every traveller
knows, British consular agents are frequently
poor commercial representatives and have an
entirely different outlook from that of the Dutch
Japanese, Belgian and American consuls-to
mention a few of the more enterprising.
A consular representative is expected to
busy himself about commercial matters, keep
his country informed, and facilitate the business
of his countrymen abroad. If British consuls
do not peddle business for British lines. the
British government has never been backward
about giving their steamships very substantial
encouragement
If the American consuls sufficiently
alive to the need of the American merchant
marine to keep that important business before
the folk likely to make use of it, then the Amer
lean consular service is on its job That's all
about that.

NEVER TOO LATE

The idea being fostered by Senator France
of Maryland, of holding dedication ceremonies
for the Panama Canal, will find a widespread
response the country over.
There was to have been a great interna-
tional festival when the canal was opened, but
the world war interviewed. The foolhardy spir-
it which plunged the world in battle swept aside
all dignity and recognition of true progress.
Men were in no mood in those dark days
to point proudly to one of the greatest achieve
ments of the human race. How sad a COM
nentary upon our sense of values
Now the neglect will be repaired. if those
interested have their way. Senator France
has made one excellent suggestion. 1t is that
music have large part in the celebration.
With such radio equipment as is common
in all the larger centers, the musical programs
could be heard around the world. How fitting,
to link up the Panama Canal. which brought
the commerce of the continents so much nearer.
with the conquering of the other waves
Which is truly greater, to have made it
possible. to transport goods and humans more
quickly from one part of the world to another.
or to have enabled music the wonder-gift of
life and thought, the secret of our mastery of
the world, to fly magicwise around our planet
in a trice?
Two noble things man has accomplished
let by all means spread them big upon
record, that perchance the ugly blot of war
may not loom so hideous.
