in prices. This fear causes people
to exchange state securities and
paper money for sound shares and
net. as suspicious creditors believe. to
an insane desire to share in the fab
ulous profits OF German industry.
Only one OF the French arguments
Is valid. France needs money to gid
the pill Of 20 per cent increase in
taxation for the sorely tried peasant,
renter, the middle classes and the
like to prevent them being driven
into the dangerous radical political
camp at the next election. At the
same time she needs coke to keep
the Lorraine blast furnaces going.
France believes the only means TO
secure both Is through the application
of force. The Ruhr, So far as Belgium
is concerned. isa subsidiary matter
and a means for diverting attention
from the old language struggle be-
tween the Flemish and Wailoor
schools which has blazed up afresll
over the University OF Ghent. Al the
same time II affords means to give
France definite proof on the part OF
the Belgian government that they
have escaped from British tutelage
and are determined to save what Is
possible from the promises made in
the treaty OF Versailles.
EnEendering Hatred.
The French are forgetting their
traditional generosity which hitherto
has been their pride. They also do
not realize how much hatred their
course Is inspiring by the imposing
force OF arms on previously dis
armed people, especially in zone
from which even German troops were
excluded by article 43 of the treaty
and by expelling families from their
homes in time Of the most severe
house shortage. because the head OF
the house refuses to obey an OBJ
viously Illegal military order.
The result only can be fresh en-
couragement TO the monarchiSt agi-
tation and drive the dlscoura ged
socialists into the arms of the Ger
man faclsts. France controls the
Saar area the greater part OF Upper
Silesia, has the overland in Poland
and now prohibits the Importation OF
coal or coke into Germany.

AMONG ANCESTORS
Ex-King of Saxony Given
Concession Which Death
Alone Renders Operative.

Diet DEGREES Privileges, Funds and
Valuable Relics to Former
Sovereign and Family.

BERLIN. February 3.-Former King
Frederick August III OF Saxony has
been accorded the priTleke OF being
buried In the courtyard OF the Dres-
den church, where Augustus the
Strong and his other celebrated an
cestors lie. Thus. in death he may
be recognized as king, but he must
first die to win the position Of which
he was deprived when the German
republic came into existence.
In addition to granting the ex-
monarch space in the imperial bury
ing ground. the Saxon diet has also
decreed that he and his family shall
have the imperial castle OF Moritz-
burg, 160 pieces OF imperial 1ewelry,
including the Polish crown Jewels,
acquired when Saxony's king was also
the ruler of Poland; many valuable
museums and 100000 marks, or
about $3.50 at the current rate Of ex-
change.
Heirlooms Conceded.
Among the rare heirlooms given to
the eX-king is the golden egg which
belonged to Augustus the Strong. The
top OF this egg unscrews; inside is
a golden men, which IN turn contains
a small gold crown containing a dia-
mond.
Ex-king Frederick August has had
a romantic but unhappy life. In 1891
he eloped with Princess Louise An
toinette Marie, Archduchess Of Aus
tria, whom he married in Vienna. To
them five children were born. In 1908
she left Dresden with the German
tutor OF her sons and went to Lindau.
Bavaria. where her sixth child, Prin-
cess Anna Monica, was born within a
few months. Frederick August OBJ
tanned a divorce and his former queen
married the tutor, but deserted him
shortly and went to Italy, where she
married a musician.
Frederick August, say those near
him, never took his high ONCE very
seriously. When the revolutionary
committee visited him at the time Of
the overthrow Of the monarchy and
suggested his peaceful abdication he
calmly answered:
Come on, il you think you can do
a better Job"
He was not disturbed after his
abdi cation and has since lived quietly
in Saxony with his children. He was
not permitted to take any prominent
part in the world war; consequently
there is no such enmity against him
as that entertained by many Prus-
slams toward the former kaiser.
The ex-king is now fifty-seven years
old and ex-crown Prince George is
thirty.

they are subjected to many hardships
and inconveniences in getting hold of
money. despite the fact that this week
the government turned out 217,000,-
600. 900 marks, a record output.
The bankers say the answer to the
money shortage Is simply that the
printing presses cannot keep up with
the demands for cash brought about
by the tumbling of the mark. The
bankers are not the only ones with
long faces. as the shortage in the
banks affects thousands of individu-
ais, particularly large employers, who

The largest American tourist agency

SUGGESTION FoR PARKING CARS

SUGGESTION FOR PARKING CARS
The injury of the little boy Sunday
evening through being hit by an auto
gives rise to the question as to wheth-
er our parking facilities are the best
and most practical, and if our traffic
regulations are adequate.
The method of parking cars varies
in different cities. The method is
largely dependent upon the width OF
the street and character of travel.
There is an unusually large amount
of traffic. on Fifth avenue and on SUI
perior street, and the most advanced
ideas should be put into practice.
Amigo has always followed the prac-
tice Of parking against the curbing.
In Manitowoc the driver must not
get within eighteen inches of the curb
ing. Just what advantage there is in
this rule we don't know.
One practice that prevails in a mum
Der of cities, which is used at Rhine
IcuuC1 cuu ~ 0ct1u W " olI4OAe1SCOAJ
there, is the plan Of parking cars in
the center of the street. A line is
drawn right through the center of the
street and then parking spaces are
marked off on each side of this line
at angles of about forty-five degrees
This virtually makes a one-Way street
The party, in backing his car from
the parking place, need look only one
way, thus making it easier to avoid
any accident.
With the constantly increasing traf
fic on our main thoroughfares it is
essential that the most extreme eau
ton be exercised by the pedestrian
as well as the driver. No matter what
the regulations are, unless they are
observed and care is exercised; acct
dents will occur.
We have heard some criticism re
garding traffic in the cities in Penn
sylvania, where the law limits the
speed in cities to twelve miles ar
hour. And they enforce it. The driv
ers from other states particularly say
that is mere snaiIs pace and where
there is no apparent danger they ser
no reason why they cannot step or

permit them to do it in that state
