paper money of which half the value might
vanish before they could get to bank or a
shop. For this attitude the peasants have
been denounced as selfish and unpatriotic
and in parts of Germany the footing of farms
bv wandering crowds has become common.
Communist orators on the street corners in
Berlin have been promising the people that
if given power they would march soldiers
through the farms and take food by force,
as was long done in Russia. =. 1t is re-
ported that in Pomerania Tin North Germany
along the Baltic) land owners are beginning
to issue money of their own, which passes
from hand to hand more readily than do the
government paper notes." This want of
dependable currency, rather than serious
dearth of food itself, appears to be respon-
sible for most of the hardship and suffering
A game of currency debasement, many
observers suspect, has been designedly car
ried on by Germany's industrial dlctators for
their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Journal re-
Gently commented on the meaningful admis-
sion of a. former member of the Stresemann
cabinet, Herr Raumer, who was quoted as
saying, cat first we lived off the losses which
foreigners suffered in consequence Of the
depreciation of the mark; then We lived off
the capital of the holders of our public debt"
Against this very condition of affairs it was
that France protested when she entered the
Ruhr, insisting that Germany could pay repa-
rations if she would but compel her profteer
industrialists to disgorge. The German mil
lions themselves might we'll have protested,
for, as) the Literary Digest paints their
plight: while the industrialists paid work
mems wages in virtually worthless paper
marks, deposited their gold in foreign coun-
tries and enlarged their plants by means of
unbelievably cheapened labor, the masses Of
the German people learned to stand in line
for hours on the chance of being able to ex-
change some hundreds of thousands of paper
marks for an ounce of butter Or an ounce
of meat
Popular reaction against these wrongs, to-
gether with the scandinavian crisis, may
soon write far-reaching history Prediction
would be hazardous for even the nearest OBJ
servers, much more for On this side of
the Atlantic. But important if not dramatic
events in Central Europe are certainly to be
expected.

EEhu Root for St. James

THE suggestion that Hon. Elihu Root be
appointed ambassador to the Court of
st. James to succeed Colonel Harvey,
who, happily, has resigned, evokes nation
wide approval. OF all whom President
Coolidge is likely to consider for this highest
Of diplomatic honors, none appears to be
regarded so favorably by thoughtful citizens
both in Republican and in Democratic ranks.
The reason for this rare unanfmity of
opinion is the best that could be found for
his appointment 1t is not that he is popu-
him there, though none is more widely re-
spected. 1t is not that he is in special favor
with either the Lodge or the La Toilette
clan of the Republican party-a fact dis
tinctly to his credit. 1t is not that he has
proved himself the most resourceful OF poll
ticians, however much in some minds that
sort of superiority may outweigh statesman
ship. 1t is simply because he has devoted
himself to international interests with more
ability and has served in that high realm
with more distinction than anyone else now
available In the Presidents party.
Whether Mr.. Root would accept the ap-
pointment seems doubtful. But there is no
question that it would be pleasing to the
government and the people of Great Britain
as to his own country's rank and file; or
that he would measure up to the goodliest
traditions of those who have held the am
bassadorship, from Page to John Adams.

The Tang1e and the Threat
In Gernuanus Ne1O Crisis

-HE reported readiness of the central
German government to take military
action against the radical regime in
Saxony is one among many contingencies on
darkly-troubled stage. saxony, which sus-
tains to the German republic a relation sim
liar to that of one of our States to the
Union, is ruled by a Teuton breed of Boil
Jhevism, as is also its neghbor Thuringia
In this same region three years ago there
was an upsurge of the Reds, who went the
iength of pillaging, footing and burning. A
eader in that terrorism Heinrich Brandler,
now chief of the Saxon chancelory; sabot
,ge again Is astir. The industrialists whose
interests are assailed have protested to Ber-
in, and have threatened to shut down their
plants altogether unless the federal govern
ment vouchsafes them protection.
That is one factor in the problem. Another
is the menacing attitude of Bavaria which in
Its bitterness toward Red Saxony can hardly
be restrained from taking upon itself, re-
gardless of central German authority, the
adventure of marching against the neighbour
ing Communists to bring them to book by
the sword. Bavaria is as conservative as
Saxony is radical, is indeed a stronghold Of
monarchist and militarist sentiment. No
wonder that these adjoining States are at
odds, or that both are causing Berlin to knit
its brows. Should Bavarian forces cross the
Saxon border, the consequence would be as
discreditable to the central German govern
ment as 1t would be disastrous to the region
Immediately involved. Indeed, it might we'll
prove to be the beginning of ruinous civil
war Thus a two-edged reason urges the
the perilous trend. Central authority must
be exerted, or it will cease to exist
Complaining this and all other dangers
of the republic is Germany's prolonged lack
of trustworthy medium of exhange. From
Chemnitz, a leading textile town of Saxony,
correspondent of the New York Times
writes that he recently witnessed a process
sion of workers carrying red banners and
placards on which was inscribed, 1--WE labor

pound of lard. How are we to pay for bread
and potatoes?" The explanation is given
that the individual wage of these per
sons averaged for full-time week about
nine hundred million marks, which, owing
to the depreciation of the paper mark, were
actually worth one pound of lard 1t is re-
lated further that for months German farm
ers have refused to sell their products for

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

A BIBLE THOUGHT. FOR TO-DAY.
Now it came to pass, as they went, that
they entered into certain pillage; and
certain woman named Martha received
Him into her house And she had sister
called Mary, who also sat at Jesus feet
and heard his word But Martha was cum
bered about much serving, and came to
Him and said: "Lord, dost Thou not care
that my sister hath left me to serve alone?
Bid her therefore that she help me-" And
Jesus answered and said unto her, "Marthd,
Martha, thou art careful and troubled
about many things. But one thing is need
full, and Mary hath chosen that good part,
which shall not be taken away from her,"

MY FAVORITE STORIES
Rv Irwin 6 Cobb


A medical OF rather dubious repute In
and out of the profession, became interested
in his ancestry. He went to an authority on
heraldry and family trees and the like, and
stated that he wished to secure a copy of hrs
family's coat-of-arms. He sure the family
must have had coat-of-arms, or at least
crest.
The expert set professional researcher to
work, and the latter, after considerable labor
among archives and records, brought to the
physician "a coat-of-arms bearing two battle
axes, a scroll and in each of the quarterng s
Of the central shield, a wild duck rampant.
Now, it SO happened that the researcher
had brother who was a reputable practi-
toner and he had heard this brother express
decidedly poor opinion of the present GUS
toner and had, himself, absorbed that opin-
ion.
The patron examined the drawing which
had been brought to him.
What" he asked. "do you interpret from
this device?"
|The MOTTO" said the researcher, sis prob
ably 'QTTACK, QUACK.'"

Old In Years
But still a youthful beauty
By Edna Wallace Hopper

For 20 years I have been In the
timelight- and for 50 years q stage
star. Yet I still am playing youth
full parts. and I look like q girl In her
teens
Thousands of women see me daily,
and marvel at my looks. Many have
asked me the secret. and urged me to
supply them what I use.
I have now decided to DO so, as q
duty to my sex. I have arranged SO
all who wish may get the helps I
found. And I hope and believe that
they will bring to millions what they
brought to me.
LA NewIType Clay.
Many years ago French experts
taught me the use Of clay. And that.
with other helps, made me a famous
beauty.
The first clays were crude and
muddy. such as many still employ.
Their results amazed me. But they
have since perfected q new-type clay
which brings manifold effects.
Certain scientists have studied
clays for more than 20 years. They
have found that rare clay. mineral
laden. which brings maximum results,
They have found ways to refine It., to
remove tho useless mud. The clay
now use II white and clean and
dainty.
They have found added factors
which bring many new benefits. They
tell me this white clay. which I cal
my Youth Clay. is the last word In
facial clays. It brings entirely new
conceptions of what clay can do.
