FORGET War for Heine.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youth 8 IOmpdIllUD
The grave of the German poet
Heinrich Heine is in the cemetery
Of Montmartre, Paris. and the flowers
and shrubs about 1t are kept in order
kv a firm of Partisan florists under
contract with the Frankfurter Zef-
tung. Because the value of the mark
has decreased almost to nothing the
Frankfurter Zeitung recently found
that 1t had not enough money in the
Heine fund to pay the caretakers and
regretfully told them so. The answer
of the French florists is the most
pleasing word that has come out of
Europe since the armistice: Dur
ing the war we tended the grave of
the great poet constantly, and we
nave no intention of quitting now.
If things are readjusted to their for
mer values, you will be our debtor;
If not. YOU will owe us nothing"
