England is the land Of con-
servatism. A while ago North
cliffe was telling his friends
how long he had worked to add
the Times to his possessions and
what he intended to do with IL.
Ho is in his grave, the Times
goes back TO its former owners
and will Support the govern

and courage don't die. ..
George Harvey, ambassador
and a wag, says that. accord
ing to the Bible. Koran, and
Talmud. women have no souls
and the Ten Commandments
were written for men only. He
thinks that one or more Com
nandments are needed especially
for women. ..
Some Of them, judging by
recent shootings, might sug-
gest: Thou shalt not covet
thy neighbor's husband"
Harvey should realize that
the Ten Commandments apply
almost exclusively to men, not
because women have no souls,
but because men are naturally

Commandments wou Id be-

Soldiers of the late war, by
the way, through their or
ganizations, are "insistently de-
inanding bonus" Had they

edo his duty" and "use his
full moral influence" to pro-
tect Christians In the Near
East. Those are the organiza-
tions that also urge the Gov
ernment to scrap battleships.
They should know that "using
your full moral influence"
means getting into a war. Try.
using your "moral influence"
on a man beating his wife.
You'll be in a fight soon, with
both Of them.
European money is dropping
again, francs, lire, Belgian
money, and feeble Central Eu-
rope currency. British money
stiil holds up. The pound, as
Lloyd George puts it, is able
to look the dollar in the face.
How long that will last, with
Lloyd George out, is the ques-
tion. Probably not long.
france. Belgium, and other
people that expected to get
from Germany more gold than
there Is in the world, thinking
that Germany could buy it by
manufacturing worthless paper
money, are awakened to sad
reality.
Wirth, able German states
man, suggests that Germany

ing everything. For the Ger
mans Reputation of war in
demnities would be convenient
Except that there would
come confiscation by France
Of German citizens property.
But how would Germany 60
