During the closing session of the Genoa
conference and after it had been decided
to hold another conference at The Hague,
Lloyd George made a few remarks, to
which we hope the Russians listened at
tentively. He said that at the next dis
cussi on Russian problems would be held
in different place, under different con-
ditions and in different manner. He
added: "Russia needs the help of Europe,
but if Russia no pes to get help it must
n OF outrage the sentiments-or if repre-
sentatives like to call them so--the pre-
iudices of the world. There existed, he
said, a most extraordinary prejudice in

hard working people and has struck
deep into the soil of the world"

"A certain other contractor had two
contracts. One of these provided that
the materials used should be furnished by
the Government, the other that the con-
tractor should furnish his own materials.
The Investigation and audit showed that
Government materials had been used
in both contracts and that the concern
had de rauded the United States to the
amount of $500, ,0Oo. A contract was
maee with large corporation for certain
war materials. The audit showed that
So, 600, OOO had been paid on this contract
and, as far as Government lecords show
no services were rendered and no mater
aals were delivered Many other illus

covered amounting to S45, GOT, 129 80, and

The air service history is an especially
disaraceful one. Between May l, 1917,

more than TOO air service contracts in
none of which is the contract less than

was with the Wright Martin Aircraft
Corporation and the amount paid on this
contract was s2o. 6i5. 7s6. The next larg-
/. est was with the Ford Motor Co., and
the amount paid on this contract was
521, ,782, 248. Both of these were cost plus
contracts. The list shows that more
than $50, 000, ,000 were expended for en-

LEST WE FoKGET.

Much was said during the political
campaign of 1920 about the waste, ex-
4ravagance and fraud which was permit
ted ana practiced during the war. Doubt
less many people believed that the facts,
whatever they were, had been grossly
exaggerated. But the charges were SO
positively made that President Wilson
appointed Mr.. Gregory, at that time the
Democratic Attorney General of the
United States, and MIR. Chas. L Hughes,
a Republican, to ascertain and report
such facts as they could. These appoint
ments deserved and received the hearty
approval of all fair minded people.
After long investigation the appoin-
tees reported, in substance, that the
charges were true, but owing to the ex-
acencies of the war it had been impossi-
BILE to properly protect the people by
proper accounting methods. This being
the case, it appeared that it would be
useless to attempt to fix the amount OF
graft, OF to proceed to make recovery of
the same, or to punish the grafters and
other guilty parties until an audit was
made. MIR. Gregory, who was the~Attor-
ney General, did not move to make an In
vestigation or an audit, and Mr.. A.
Mitchell Palmer, who succeeded him as
Attorney General, having an eye out for
the presidency, did not feel like offend
ing his friends by starting anything
which might land some of them in prison.
Nothing worth while was done until
about year ago when large force OF
accountants actively engaged in auditing
the war contracts and the accounts con-
nected with each. In all there were
about lO0, 600 war contracts made, to the
amount of several billion dollars. Thus
far about 5000 of these contracts and
accounts have been audi'ed and it is now
clearly seen that the charges made in
1920 were trifling when compared with
the facts as shown by the audlts.

The peace treaty, Article 23S. provided
for the creation of Reparation Com
mission which was authorized and di-
rected to consider the capacity and re-
sources of Germany and to fix the
amount of war indemnity which she
should pay A decision was reached
after months of investigation and after
ample opportunity had been given for
Germany to present her side of the case.
1t was well known that, in order to pay
the indemnity as fixed by the Commits
sion, Germany must borrow the money
on long time credits.
Seven of the most prominent finan-
ciers of the world recently met in Paris
to consider the floating of an interna-
tonal loan which would enable Germany
to pay and thus expedite an improve
ment of the economic affairs in all Eu-
rope. Those attending the conference
were j. P. Morgan of New York, Robert
kindersley of the Bank of England
Charles Sergeant of the Bank of Paris,
MI. NlsScliuS Vi TIE 4NeluclidHuS Dduh,
Mr.. D'Amel of the Bank of Italy, Mr..
Sekiba of Japan and Herr Bergman of
Germany. The latter represented the
Germany government. All the others
were there representing corporate inter-
ests, only. The German representative
said that the German government de-
sired to borrow money. but refused to
accept the findings of the Reparation in
regard to the payment of indemnity. He
was fatty informed that Germany must
pay or no loan would be granted to the
German government and the conference
adjourned. 1t is evident that Germany
needs stern discipline and it is not un-
likely that French troops will occupy
some parts of German territory for the
purpose of convincing the German rulers
that the indemnity must be paid in terri
tory Oh in cash.

THE STRAIGHT ROAD.

There are roads that pass through splen'
dor,
And ways that seem sublime;
There are paths that lead Ger vale and
mead,
Old roads since man knew time.
We yesrn ofttimes for new roads,
For q short cut DER the way,
And sometimes weep when paths are
steep
Our path of life today.
Yet since the first man Travelled,
Success was near, somewhere;
Ard the strsiaht life was the great life
It's the shortest distance there.

BY the great Sun of Wisdom cast there

And what is dark below is light in

That it is neither Of the these two
but a combination of the both is per-
haps the real reason that man is so
permeated with the atmosphere of
autumn. Man belongs to nature and
nature works her charms upon him
despite the artificialities of civiliza-
ton that have been manufactured by
man.
1t is only when standing on the top
of the mountain hat one can look
back over the way he has travelled
and think Of the days past in terms
Of efforts, accomplishments, ambitions
and aspirations realized and unreal
lied. And it is only on the summit
of the mountain that one can get a
| glimpse of what he is yet to expert
ence and of the future that lies
ahead.
So it is with autumn. Autumn is
the dividing point between this year
and the next. Through spring and
summer all nature has been engross-
ed with the perpetuation of all forms
of vegetable life. In the winter this
life will be halted for a short time and
then be rejuvenated in the spring.
1t is the place in the year hat man
unknOwingly surveys all that has been
provided by nature in the wheat, in
the fruit, in fact in all the harvest.
And while surveying these bountfes,
his thoughts are directed towards the
death of natures children during the
winter and the great renaissance of
life that will occur in the spring.
1t is the spirit of contrast function
ing. The year is dying and its dying
dirge speaks of the summer that has
been, of the winter to come and Of
the rebirth Of plant life the next
spring. The generous haryests point
unerringly to the coming of winter,
through contrast, and the winter
points u~nalterably towards the vernal
showers of April. ~
The departing of the life of the year
is near at hand. All nature testifies
to this. Maturity in the form of pur-
poses fulfilled by the harvest has been
reached and decadence follows. Nat
too, the sun travels southwark
and leaves the year to the winters icy
blasts of death where 1t will remain
until springtime arrives and changes
a frigid world into a blooming gard
This mingling of the life and death
If the year in autumn is no doubt
he element that makes the music of
he fall season the greatest of the
year and fills every human heart with
sweet melancholic thoughts of the
beauties of the harvest season.

the downward trend in wages thai

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
has produced some figures showing
that the railroad men and miners are
in clover, compared with the farmer
when it comes to wages. In 1921 the
purchasing power of railroad mems
wages was 81 per cent greater than
in 1918 and that of the miners 80 per
cent greater. That of farm hands,
however, was 4 per cent less than in
1913 and that Of the farmers them

The air is filled with a sweet, mel

atmosphere of bitter-sweet feeling, in,

The decadent rays of the sun fal

nature almost fulfilled. The presence
of fall is abroad in the land speak
ing of the victories of nature anG
pointing with tender sadness to the
coming of the winter SHOWS and
blasts.
1t is a delightful time to live and
feel the unvoiced words of nature as
she prepares to complete the year.
Days are shorter and nights are cool
er, and over all there fingers the fare
wells of summer that is leaving.
On every hand people say that the
fall is the season they like the best.
1t comes with it's gracious release from
the hot summer sun and brings with
it the harvest and a haunting pre-
monition of the winter.
Fall is the connecting link between
summer and winter and it is both ret
respective and forewarning. 1t tells
in a mysterious language, unspoken
but known to all, of the passage of
ummer days and the approach of
chill.
Autumn contains the great music of
year. The greatest music is, as
one famous writer has said, the ming
ling of life and death. In autumn
we find this condition. Autumn, as
he fall of the year, marks the point
1t which nature has been most alive

he coming of the death of the year.

imminent. And the spirit of fall is
he music of this mingling Of dealt
nd life in the annual cycle Of nature.
1t is difficult to say whether the
all derives it's significance, beauty
nd potency from the elimination CT
he summer or from the advance ma
ure makes toward winter.
The results of the spring and sum-
Ter abound everywhere to remind
of the bounteousness of nature.
