 Berlin, Nov. 20.-The Boersen Courier says today that negotiations are in progress between we'll known Berlin bank and group of Ameri- can, British and Dutch financiers for credit to Germany of 1.4o0, 0,0o0,00o gold marks.
 Offer Is Limited
 The granting of this credit. says the newspaper, is dependent upon the conditions that there be no change in the internal political situation in Germany and that the offer be made only to the Stresemann government.
 The guarantee for the loan is to be assumed by the German govern ment rather than by private indus try. continues the paper adding that international capital probably will be invested in the gold note bank which il is proposed to establish.
 At the American embassy here no advices have been received regarding the reported loan project, nor was any confirmation of the Boersen Courier's statement obtainable from any other quarter

Files Counter-CIaim to Demand for Si,6O,0OO Back Pay Asked

Washington, Nov. 20.--A counter claim seeking recovery of nearly s2,- 100000 is the governments answer to Swift X Company's allegation that the government owes it about s1,50o, 000 on wartime contract for army ba- con.

It asks recovery of s1,571.sS2 for alleger ex- cessive charges between September. 1919, and March. 1919. and the return of $422,252 profits which it ayers were forfeited because of the company's misconduct"

WHEN EVERYBODY HAD
 TO ATTEND CHURCH

While freedom of individual ac- thr United States, Canada and Great Britain and various statutes pre- scribe that what is lawful on other days of the week is illegal on the first day, only those who desire to do so of their own volition will be found within the churches on the Sabbath nowadays.
 Compulsory attendance at religious services has not been enforced on this side of the Atlantic since the Colonial days when the blue laws' and other rigorous enactments were in effect. In England, however, the freedom tC remain away from church is comparatively recent and it was not until the middle of the last cen tury, when Queen Victoria was on the throne, that all penalties for non- attendance at church was abolished.
 As late as 1880 there were ten per sons in English prisons whose only crime was refusal to attend divine services. One of the ten was a young man who had been convicted at the instigation Of his own mother, who appeared against him. In 1917, Sir Montague Burgoyne was haled into court to explain why he had neg lected his religious duties.
 Rigid Sunday observance in Eng land began during the reign of Ed gar In the tenth century, when the Sabbath day was ordained to be kept holy from o'clock on Saturday aft ernoon until sunrise on Monday. The most innocent actions were con- demned, and death was the extreme penalty for continued violation of the law. About three centuries ago Parliament passed a law imposing a fine of one shilling for remaining away from church on Sunday, unless

Q CALL OR NOT TO CALL


 Do let me tell you the most de- lightful instance of true thought fulness and courtesy that I've come across in years" writes a woman friend who has taken a house for the summer out on a lovely country road. AS yeu know, l have spent q desperately busy winter and spring in the city, working for that hos pital benefit, getting the children properly graduated, and running the Monday Music club. All I asked was to be let alone-entirely alone-tor the summer, so that l wouldn't have to talk to a lot of people, preside over anything, or do anything eX- cept read, wander about in the woods, and go to bed at dusk.
 Imagine my horror when I found that some other summer people and the regular winter residents were planning all sorts of affairs-garden parties, bazars, amsquerades, and dear knows what not l was sure that as newcomer I would be urged to go in for these things and would be considered ungracious If l didn't.
 And then the most interesting thing happened. Out on the sunny road, day or two after we arrived, I met a pretty woman, stylishly dressed. She smiled at me and then frankly held out her hand
 "Im your neighbor, Mrs. Arnold, she said, and we have been trying to decide a very important question about you and a few other summer residents-to call or not to call! Of coure, we all know you are city wom- en who have been on the go all win ter, and we know you are here for the summer only. Now do you want us to call and to invite you to join all our activities, or would you rather we simply let you alone and let you rest? We would like to know you and have you with us, but we want to give you the kind of summer you want and need
 Wasn't that thoughtful and kind? O fcourse, I told her the truth that l would like to know them If I were going to stay there, and that I wasn't { ungracious; but that I had to be quiet and rest, and that I couldn't take any active part in their affairs. She laughed sympathetically and quite understood. Not one of the women has called or sent me any invitations, although they all come up and speak pleasantly to me in the village, and now and then run in for a moment informally to bring flow CTS or fruits. They make no de- mands and leave me perfectly free. They are dears and I love them for their thoughtfulness."

 Muir and Winifred heard the oom ment. The girl flushed, the man frowned.

 Why should I mipd?" she laughed. Let them talk! Why look so glum over the idea, Donald? Would 1t be so dreadful if what they said were true?"
 Tt would be very dreadful for you. feeling as you do. now" Muir said.
 What do you mean?"
 q mean, that to marry me, caring as little for me as you do, would be a crime" he explained. Had the idea meant to you what it means to me you could not laugh like that. You are not changed bit, Wtnifred You are no nearer loving me than you were weeks ago."
 The words were spoken gently, yet there was a sadness in the tone. It reused the girls compunctions.
 q. am sorry I laughed, Donald" she said, contritely. T meant noth- ing by it."
 T know it." Muir rejoined. And l am glad you are honest enough to laugh when you feel like 1t. Only, I was hoping that you might be learn ing to care for newell, in diff ferent way" '

 The man ignored the latter part of her sentence. But you do not care enough for me to marry me-" he de- clared.

 It was the first time in weeks that he had referred to his love for her She was sure from his expression of countenance that he would not refer to 1t again soon.

HOTEL SANITATION
French HosteIries With Modern Con-
 veniences Pay A High Rate


 A traveller with an inquring mind has been making the rounds of the small towns Cf France. He has noted that the hotels are almost without exception clean, that the beds are comfortable, that the cusis- inc is excellent and the wines above reproach; but when it came to sani- tation, most of the hotels left much to be desired. Few had baths; fewer still had running water in the rooms The visitor found himself with a pitcher and basin, and if he wanted hot water he had to ring for it. and wait several minutes for 1t to be brought.
 In one of these towns he found the hotel Keepers of the district meeting in convention, and he asked several of them why France, a country in which the tourist traffic is heavy and remunerative has not improved it's hotels. The unanimous answer was that the small town hotels are classified by government hotels of the third class when they are with out modern conveniences, and are taxed only one per cent of their gross receipts. If they install bath rooms and running water, they auto matically become hotels of the sec ond class, and have to pay three per cent. According to the hotel keep CTS, it does not pay to improve their places while taxation Is upon this bass.-W. K. Kelsey, In Paris let ter to the Detroit News.
