An Arctic Bath.
It's an old saying that coming events
have a knack of foreshadowing them
selves. While I was struggling into
my clothes and reviving that over
night determination to have it out with
Bullerton the minute l should lay eyes
upon him, It struck me all at once that
the house was curiously quiet. To be
sure, somebody was stirring and the
breakfast was cooking, but the pre-
monition that something had happened
was strong upon me when descended
the ladder.
In the living room found a mighty
sober-faced old Daddy putting break.

second after Daddy thrust his torch

phasized these points:

ments adopted on May NTH. 1921.
Germany has failed 10 live UP 10
her guarantees for deliveries OF coal
nd wood ms demanded by the Rep

Germany has deliberately depreci-

the reckless printing OF paper marks.
Germany, disregardlng her just war
obligations, has appropriated largo
sums for public improvements at home
and Issued generous subsidies for the
benef1t OF her nationals.
While France, in the three years of
1919 TO 1921. paid abroad $4,000, 900. .00C

and otherwise, Germany paid only 49,
