At Varennes there was some
misunderstanding about a change
of horses. The king, disguised as
"a page, argued with the driver in
the lower town, while tho fresh
horses waited in the upper. At
last they started on again, only
to find the bridge between the
two towns blocked by troops OF
the National Guard and armed
peasantry. They had lost!
Later Marie, sitting between
two piles of candles in the grocery
store of one Sance, Mayor OF the
town, talked to the wife OF the
good man while the king, at tho
other end Of the shop, tried to
explain why he had left Paris.
Marie entreated the wife to in.

Herr SHINES Patriotism.

LIERR HUGO SHINES is, through the
i columns OF his newspapers, patting himself
on the back for having brought off another big
coup. There is no who has SO completely
made his politics the handmaiden of business, and
when. in the present instance. he Claims that his
actions profitable to Germany one is not sur
prised to find that they are at all events not un-
profitable to himself He has made contract with
NJ. de Lubersac, president Of the Federation of
Reconstruction COOPERATIVE Societies. which both
parties to the contract confident will greatly
expedite the rebuilding of the devastated areas of
France That is where Herr SHINES claims political
credit His personal advantage is not obscurely
derived from the per cent commission on the
value OF the goods delivered He, or the company
which is acting for him. will get this per cent
out OF the German government in addition to the
cost OF supplying the building materials to France
Inc herman government is espected to mind
because the commission charged will be credited to
1t as "reparation payment" and the French govern
ment does not mind because its future demands
upon Germany will in any case only be limited
by Germany's capacity for payment. The per
cent in fact, while obviously advantageous to Herr
Stnnes' is made to look though it did not dis
advantage anybody else. Perhaps that is the secret
OF Herr Shines success in life. But German labor
is not quite deceived, and Herr SHINES has in
other ways made pretty clear that it is labor in
his opinion and not big business that has the broad
back. But one must be too critical even of
patriotism at per cent" Herr SHINES is prob
ably right in thinking that the rcparaton question
can only be settled matter of business not
OF politics. and it would clearly be repuenant TO
business instincts not to charge for services rem
dered But IN that it would be more decent
to drop talking about patriotism.

A Flood That Does Not Irrigate.

"ERMANY, it is often said has deliberately
NJ tricked the allies of their due by debasing
her currency. She has by the over-issung of paper
money nearly wiped out her internal state debt
sheltered her industries from the stump in trade.
and made the collection of sound money for repa-
ration purposes almost impossible. 1t sounds much
too clever to be true, and does not notice any
anxiety among finance ministers elsewhere to reap
similar benefits by SO simple an expedient, though
most of them compelled reluctantly to do, in
sless degree, exactly as Germany has done. Even
in England, while the government, after the armis-
tice was still increasing its note ISSUE the chan
celor OF the exchequer wont to protest that
the increase however regrettabe, was simply due
to the nadequacy of the existing currency to meet
the ordinary demands for it. The Germans say
the same, but the inadequacy has now become so
much more pronounced that it is like a
famine Firms have to be rationed workmen take
home fraction of their wages, desperate munich
palities devise illegal substitutes for legal tender
and business is increasingly conducted through the
medium OF foreign currency. German printing
presses pour continuous flood Of paper money
into the country, but in spite of all the land
mains parched. To say that Germany is deliber-
ately over-issuing paper money in order to cheat
the allies is like saying that starving steals
a loaf IN order to annoy the baker The fact is
that, judged by the needs of trade German notes
have been turned out far too sparingy. The print
ing presses may, doubt catch up. But it, as
the result of another allied conference, the value
OF German currency is again halved, so that the
existing supply of it will finance only half the
transactions that need to be carried out will people
still be found to put the cart before the horse by
saying that Germany is printing notes in order to
debase her currency to the allies and escape

Unfortunately. the resources of

years. without Increasing the de-

Now. rather than face such n
tragic extremity, rather than face
financial collapse the French are
all ready to use the undenia ble
rights which they derived from the
treaty of Versailles to enforce pen
alties upon insolvent Germany and
seize a part of the German prop
critics as the treaty gives them the
sht to do. They are ready to
follow that policy inasmuch as they
perfectly know that the German
financial collapse has been brought
about not by the payment by Ger
many of the reparations. which on
the whole amounts to very small
sum, but especially by the foolish
and eXtravagant policy of the Ger
man government. which, while in
creasing its expenses by leaps. and
bounds, never had the courage to
increase the taxations and to pre-
vent the evasion of enormous auan-
titles of gold which have beer
