 trouble with Europe is spiritual. De- fore we. or any other country. can help Europe. the European nations
 must change their purposes. motives,
 and attitude toward God and one an-

 to maintain armies or pay interest on

 plus enough to do both. Europe is a
 good deal like the steamboat on the
 Mississippi which Abraham Lincoln
 used to tell about. The boiler capa- city was enough to blow the whistle or to run the boat, but not enough to do both. When the whistle blew. the boat had to stop. At the present time Europe seems to desire to whis- tie rather than run. Until Europe changes it's desires and puts its ener- gies on running instead of whistling wise investors will not hold European securities. On the other hand, l be- lieve that when Europe quits squab- bling and settles down to an honest effort to produce. these European se- curities will be perfectly good. This is true not only as to the money owed by Europe to the independent inves- tors of thislcountry, but it also applies to the 10 billion dollars which are owed to the United States because these debts all combined are less than France claims Germany alone is able to pay to her.

 T. E. Death Rate Drops


 The death rate from pulmonary tu- berculosis has been decreased from 103.4 in 1920 to S3.4 in 1921 and S2.S in 1922 There were 1,605 cases re- ported in 1922 and of these 1,199 were fatal.
 The state health department records show that this decrease in death rate is due in large measure to the effi- eient work of local health officers and physicians, the state tuberculosis com. missions activities and to the work of local tuberculosis associations.
 Typhoid Mortality Low
 Connecticut is one of the few states showing a continued reduction in deaths from typhoid fever for the past three years. The death rate has been reduced from Az per 100000 popuia- tion in 1920 to 3.4 in 1921 and in 1922. There were 3.15 cases in 1922 and 43 deaths.

 study Of the situation from a statis-

 ssusiens are dry and uninterestins
 The summary which he makes. how ever. is most enlightening.
 First let us realize" says Mir, Babson, ''that the coming to this country Of Stanley Baldwin. British ehaaeellor Of the ekeheauer. Mon tague c. Norman, governor of Rank of England. and their associates from the greatest empire tn the world, with hats in hand and begging for mercy. is one of the greatest events in our figaneiai history, For centuries Great Britain has been the worlds sreatest creditor and all nations. in- eludthg our own. have owed the Brit ist empire billions Of dollars.
 The war turned the financial world upside down. Certain great nations like Germany emerged bankrupt; France. the worlds greatest invest ment nation emerged a debtor; while England. to whom everyone came for advice. now comes to Washington for help. Truly this is the most dramatic economic and financial event in the history of our nation. It also empha- sizes the fact that we have a great financial responsibility as well as a great opportunity. Therefore. 1t is with this though in mind that we must make our decisions.

Frank study of the situa- ton. however. should convince any party that Germany is in a position of burglar who attempt cd colossal steal but was caught and oefeated in his plans. Irrespective of the question of punishing this bur glar. all must admit that he should make amends for the goods which he partly got away with and destroyed. France. therefore, should not be crit | cized for insisting that Germany re- store, as far as possible, the property which was destroyed and damaged in | her attempt to burglarize. Every dis
