Nonpartisan politics is an un.

Entering politics means signing

There were some who in the dy-
ing days Of the Cuno Cabinet held
UP Stresemann as one who had the
stuff to rule with an iron hand.
Fact is that. with the exception Of
the Nationalist and the Commun-
lists, the whole nation hailed him
as the imam Of the hour" But the
spirit Of the hailing was. born of
the desperate mood Of the gambler
who has lost all and makes one last
try with a borrowed stake.
Thus came about that long-her-
aided political paradox, the grand
coalition" Of four parties-German
Peoples Party, Social Democrats,
Centrists and Democrats. The Ma

indeed, are the bedfellows that

Minister-the same Hilffefding who,
before the amalgamation Of the So.
cial Democratic Party with the In
dependent Socialists, was the leader
Of the latter party and who, as
editor Of the red Freiheit, founded
by Rosa Gutenberg and Karl Lieb-

PHILIPPINE PESO IS NOW WORTH OVER DOLLAR, DUE
 TO ADVANTAGE IN TRADE

MANILA, Feb. 28.-The year 1922 ended in the Philippines with the peso worth more than the dollar, because of the favorable foreign trade balance more dollars being required to pay for exports than pesos to pay for i'm ports. At the beginning of the year the peso was at a big discount with the dollar; much of the gold behind it had been dispersed, a condition that has been corrected by the issue of bonds that restore it's integrity in full. These bonds were bought in New York at good figures Uncle Sam guarantee ing the islands credit
 A considerable portion of the in- sular revenues will be required for many years to pay interest and sink ing funds on these bonds, but the isl ands are not heavily bonded when their resources are considered. Their peso shames the franc, the lira and even the pound.

Men who two years ago owned half a dozen motor cars now walk, for cars, estates, houses, horses and furniture have been sold in the eff forts to avert disaster.
 Self made millionaires who for 8 brief period kept up vast establish ments, with small armies of ser wants, now live in lodgings, and in case after case lavish display has given place to a poverty that is all the more bitter by contrast
 The poorer classes also have suf- fered. When the enormous war de- mand was made for ships everyone rushed to speculate with money that in many cases represented life say ings.
 Now it is gone, and thousands of minor tragedies are being played out under the smaller roofs of Cardiff.
 Many of the older and sounder companies have weathered the storm, but it is stated that even they are threatened with possible bankruptcy by German competition.

Bad at Golf

Tennis and riding are her chief outdoor recreations. She rides a good deal and goes out with the hounds occasionally. As for golf, as she says, q am awfully bad at it."
 Photographs do not do Lady Eliza beth justice, because her exquisite coloring is her chief charm. Very petite, with girlish figure, she wears her dark hair parted in the middle and waving over her ears in little ripping curls. She has singularly lustrous dark eyes, with that touch of engaging shyness and mingled frankness which provides the added appeal of an already pleasing person ality.
 Her marriage to the Duke of York will be at least as popular, if not more so, than that of Princess Mary. It is centuries since British royalty married a British girl-and an ex- ceedingly charming one at that.

FORTUNES QUICKLY MADE AND
 LOST IN WELSH EXPORT BOOM

LONDON, Feb. 28.-Cardiff, one of the chief coal exporting ports of England, may truly be said to be a city of lost millionaires.
 A tragic price is now being paid in that city and in South Wales generally for the wild riot of specu- lation and extravaganza during the shipping boom in this country that followed the Armistice, when com panies and capital value sprung up in a night.
 Issues were subscribed several times over before they were an nounced. Men rose to fame and opu- lence almost in a week. Hundreds of pounds were turned into thou sands, while thousands grow into and Cardiff rose on a great golden bubble.
 But the bubble, as was inevitable, has now burst Something like half the pre-war shipping companies have crashed to irremediable disaster, while others just hang on desper- ately

HONOLULUPOST OFFICES BOXES
 TOO t1IGHT FOR JAP CITIZENS

of the boxes for short people, is the goat.
 The new post office, opposite the Capitol, is a beautiful white build ing set back from the street. Most of the business with the public is transacted practically in the open, for the mail boxes and windows for stamps, parcel post, general delivery etc., face on a wide-open portico. The columns and arches of the port ico give the building an architectural finish of real beauty.
 The wise ones are suggesting to the harassed postmaster that he lay in a supply of small folding ladders and rent them out at a small fee to short bOxholders.
