BERLIN, Dec. 10 (By The AS
sociated Press) Reports from
New York and London announc-
ing the possibility Of q loan Of
$1,000, ,0oo, 600 TO Germany were
featured BY big headlines IN to-
days papers, which found ready
purchasers among the people Ia
the streets.
Much credence was given the
reports, but occasionally there
was to be found the pessimist
who expressed the opinion that
they were fsbrfcations, put forth

generally, however, adopted the
belief that an American Santa
Claus was coming to Europe.

Violation Of Rights
The third poInt-Rumania's absence

the conference. Moscow and Russia IN

sarabia 70 RuuaniA a violation OF
Russian rights and interests. Rumania's

Soviet Russia to-day Is secure against

 Since Birmingham is also the center of a great coal producing industry, the books on coal chosen by J. M. Humphrey, president of the Lehigh Valley Coal company, may be of local interest His list includes: "Elements of Geology" Joseph Le Conte (1s87); "Coal, It's Composition, Utilization and Valuation" E. E. somermeir (1912) Mine Foreman'a Handbook" Robert Mauchlne (third edition, 191o); "Practical Coal Mining" T. H. Cockin (19o6) "Timbering and Mining" William H. Storms (1909); "Principles of Mining" Her bert c. Hoover (1909); International Li- brary of Technology, Volume 37, Methods of Working Coal Mines etc." Comprehensive Reference Book on Practical Coal Mining" W. Warde tthrd edition, 1889, England); "Col- fiery Management" Jonathan Hyslop (second- edition); Manual of Lthology," Edward H. Williams, Jr. (second edition, 1s99); Coal Miners Pocketbook' Eleventh edition).
 A striking fact in connection with this pro- posed library is the large number of responses received from American captains of industry, more than 2,o00, and the knowledge they display of books little known to the average reader. Most of these men, doubt, have their private libraries of general literature, but they have not overlooked technical works which have been useful to them in their careers The old idea that the average captain of industry is self-made man who seldom reads anything but newspaper magazine has been proved a fallacy.

Boomer Amer ican industrial leaders were requested to sub init lists of books and choice is being made from among the lists received. The plan of tho library is to have 10 of what are consid- cred the best and most authoritative books on each of the following industries and business enterprises:
 Railroads, coal, iron and steel. textiles. au- tomobiles, building, retail merchandising, wholesale groceries, heating and ventilating, shipping, banking, insurance printing, paper, advertising, foreign trade, publishing, lumber, sales management and credit.
 Charles M. Schwabs selection of basic books on iron and steel will be of interest to the industrial leaders of Birmingham.

AN INDUSTRIAL UNION OF FRANCE AND GERMANY

Maximilian Harden, in his weekly cable dispatch to The Age-Herald calls attention to new community of interest which may have far-reaehing influence in stabilizng European conditions. It Is the combination formed by the great Stinnes-Lubersac interests and rep resents the greatest industrial power in both Germany and France. It Is of such magnitude that if community of interest is established between them it has possibilities of doing more than any other one thing to get the people of the two nations working unitedly to bring their internal affairs back more nearly to normal.
 In this connection Mir. Harden also mentions the growing inclination of the internationales of the two countries to work in harmony. He thinks this, too, will have tremendous effect, especially since in the last elections the German party elected enough members of the Reichstag to hold the balance of power.
 But after all it cannot be denied that the in- dustrial and trade life of nations is the thing which really causes wars and hard feelings. Commercial rivalry has been the bane of Eu- rope's life in the past and it is still domi- hating influence of first magnitude. If, there fore, tho two greatest industrial groups of Germany and France forming coalition for mutual interest it may have trcmcn- dous effect on the efforts to bury past rivalries and help do away with constant thought oi militarism and self f-protection on both sides of the Rhine
 It seems a natural sort of cooperation. Ina Stinnes group has enormous manufacturing fa- cilities while the Lubersac group in France nas much of the raw material that the Germans need. Their requirements seems to dovetaE into each other and nothing is more natural than that they should work together if they can get over the narrow nationalism aroused by the war.
 At any rate, it Is situation which has great possibilities for the future welfare of both na- tions-

LEARNING TO WRITE
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
 How is the art of good writing to be ac- qured? Mark Twain once said q don't waste time hunting for a right word; l put down the first that comes to me, and if l have to use the same word in the sentence following do so without shame" When he said this he had been writing the better part of 40 years and there is reason to suspect that the right word came to him easily and naturally. Certainly Mark Twans plan would never help be- ginner to subtilize his perceptions, to refine his sensibility and to bring coherence to his scattered judgments.
 A good many things about writing for pub lcaton have to be left undefined. They come to the students by instinct if they come at all, and he may learn to write without ever being conscious of them. But he will have to oe conscious of and measure the relations existing between reactions to literature.
 Does he know why he feels there is per- feet thing in Stevenson's "Isle of Voices?" Does he know why he feels there is perfect thing in Meredith's opening love scene be- tween Lucy and Richard? These things are matter of instinct
 There is no science about instinct, but there is plenty about style. That is name given to certain aspect of literature. It is quite external.
 The internal part of writing is the writer's attitude toward life The intellect, upon which style is a sort of polish does play some part in the expression of this internal thing, but that part is always subsidiary. Emotlon dominates born writer exercises his art because he is moved to do so. He apprehends his world emotionally, but the different feel ings various objects in it arouse in him are always related. One modifies the other, some times one drives out another, but their conflict or agreement effects permanent results. This is a permanent mode of feeling. It consti- tutes writer's equipment.

A MORNING PRAYER
ANOTHER DRIVE TO AMEND THE IMMIGRATION LAW

N is to be hoped that Congress will pay no attention to the efforts of certain manu- facturing interests to remove restrictions on immigration and let in flood of cheap for eign labor. The spacious plea that unless something Is done to get more workers, both tion'B industries will be halted has been heard before It should not have any weight, now that VIC have discovered that the immigra- ton law, in spite of it's defects, is serving to keep out of this country large numbers of un- desirable aliens who would never become good citizens
 Selfish manufacturers and steamship com panies, and perhaps few racial groups who have discovered America to be a "good thing,'' which they would like to share with their countrymen abroad, are practically the only opponents to restricted immigration. Most of the Amsrican people have long since made up their minds that the melting pot'' is greatly oFerrated institution and selectiye immigration will better safeguard the na- eAoA 1AAAAS hNAAAA1 S1AAA AzAeAAS uuMn Lun bars to hordes of foreigners of the lowest type, regardless of their fitness for citizen ship
 Congress is well swzrs of national senti- ment on immigration and the present law fs the result Instead of being amended to let tn mors undesirable aliens. 1t should be pat termed after the Canadian law which guaran- teos Canada that she win get only the kind of immigrants she wants-
 There can be no doubt that a campaign is baing carried cn to discredit our immigration 1hw and bring about changes which will let'in more undesirables- "Sob stories" from Ellis kaznd have been sent out ali over the coun- txy, relating the narrowing experiences of families torn asunder, mothers separated from their children and similar tragedies. The im- migration authorities have been pictured as making one stupid blunder after another. but this sort of propaganda Is beng discounted by disrernfng persons Neither win they take much stock in the pleas of manufacturers vho want to import human cattle from abroad to work for a pittance in their factories and mines and live in novels, where anarchy is lced.

PLENTY OF THRILLS IN NEXT
 WAR ASSURED

While universal peace is topic for plat form utterance and many ways are being suggested to eliminate future wars, investors are going right ahead perfecting new engines of destruction which surpass anything of the kind used in the last war.
 It is perhaps just as well that science is not paying much attention to the pacfists who mean we'll but are apt to be rather impracti- cal persons and ask more of depraved human nature than it is capable of performing at the present low ebb of international morality. We ought to know by this time that pre- paredness is better than hindsight and as long as there is a possibility of having to fight, we ought to keep up with our neighbors in get ting ready for eventualities.
 Some of the new weapons which will make the next war shorter and more destructive than the last include a fused shell sensi- tive that it will explode contact with the cloth of an airplane wing, although it will not explode when fired from a gun. Another inn provement in ordnance which promises to be useful is 2,ooo-pound projectile, fired from a 16-inch gun, with effective range of 28 miles. It rises 10 miles in the air and will penetrate 16 inches of hardened steel before exploding That would be an unwelcome wis itor on battleship.
 A 2,000 pound airplane bomb has been perfected which can be dropped from an alti- tude of 5000 feet and would penetrate almost to the first floor of the Woolworth building and then wreck the building. fleet of hos tile bombers armed with projectles of that sort could make short work of New York, If it ever reached It's objective.

RENO'S DIyoRcEs

New York Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch.
 "Divorces? Yes, we still have considerable colony of divorce seekers in Reno,n said Rob- ert J. Jefferson of Reno, New, who is III New York for a few days. But customers seem to have an idea that Reno produces noth- ing else but divorces for fashionable or semi fashionable persons To be quite honest, Paris seems to have taken the place of Reno lately as far as divorces are concerned. But our city-you would call it town here, but It IS big place as cities go in the far west-is thriving and growing on its industries and re- sources.
 'The population of Reno has more than tripled since 1900 and it is becoming a cen ter of the cattle and sheep business. We manu- facture good deal of machinery, operate d large brick factory and have some of the lar gest ore reduction plants in the country The state university also is located there In fact, |, the much-heralded divorces are only froth and do little except to advertise Reno to the rest of the world"

THE oVERsTUFFED OYSTER

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
 Excavations in fossil bed near Brownsville, Tex, are reported to have disclosed oyster shells three feet long. To Dr. W. J. Bryan and others who take their biology as a matter of sentiment, an oyster as big as calf will seem incredible. But students familiar with the large scale upon which life was pitched in the Mesozoic Age will see nothing incongruous about this 300pound bluepoint.
 As matter of fact, hungry gigantosarus could have dispatched dozen such delicacies as readily as dsposes of a half-dozcn fried while waiting for the owl car We gravey doubt if he would have left the shells. The same conclusion applied to the diplodocus and to the tyrannosaurus, that 40-foot kan garoo with six rows of teeth.
 We are in formed that these winsomc crea- lures became extinct some 25,000,000 years ago, thus anticipating dear old Grandfather Pitheeanthropus by about 24,000,000 years. Professor Bryan, therefore, needs not harrow us with vocal pictures of the distress of citi- zen upon confronting a Rockaway twice as large as himself. No such embarrassing scene ever was enacted. Nature, we are comforted to note, has a sense of proportion. She never devised a one-half of one per cent beverage for an organism possessing a IA per cent thirst
