American opinion applauds almost
universally the work Of the reparations
conference at The Hague. The COM
promise acceptance on the Young plan
and the agreement for withdrawal OF
allied troops from German soil are re-
rarcied as great contributions to the re-
Mobilization Of Europe H1d to the peace
of the world. !,

Snovden. British chancellor Of the ex-
cheouer. for the other allies finally gave
in to the great majority of his propo-
sails. 1t marks q new era for Germany,
as 1t provides for the withdral OF allied
troops from that country within eight
months. The postwar tension Is
to be lightened, and a new economic
system developed. How far its ramtfi-
cations will extend in new commercial
and political alliances Is only matter
of conjecture but, at least, the most
troublesome problem which the last war
left has been settled"
More important, even, than the
financial accord effected at The Hague"
in the Judgment of the Chicago Daily
News, lis the agreement with regard to
the evacuation of the Rhineland. Ger
many, after protest and opposition to
paving any bills for foreign soldiers
after September /, wisely offered the
allies $1l ,662 900 as q sort of donation
toward future maintenance Of the
armies of occupation, thus removing the
last obstacle to a unanimous report.
On the whole, the results are
fairly satisfactory from the point OF
view of the liberal and progressive ele-
ments."
THE occupation by the allies OF
German territory for a decade after
the conclusion of peace" declares the
Springfield Republican, has been an
international misfortune, and probably
not even the French will regret the re-
turn to normal conditions. How
ever pacific the purposes OF the Ger
man government may be, 1t can hardly
be said that Europe is on peace foot

been withdrawn" The Omaha World
Herald remarks that "the uselessness OF
this military occupation: so far as con-
Germs the effect 1t could have In en-
forcing any kind of PREPARATIONS agree

While asserting that "the financial
arrangements represent at best an un-
stable compromise among conflicting
opinions" the Cleveland News concludes
that 1.-The removal Of troops from the
Rhineland will be unmistakable recog-
milton of the fact that, while Europe
can continue to harbor indefinitely any
number of fanciful notions regarding a
new Germany, anxious to regain lost
prestige, she cannot retain all Of them.
1t is finally admitted that nothing Is

Reparations Conference Work
Applauded by American Press

History was written when the ma

a turn in Britains attitude towasd the
debt settlements, following in the wake
of the war. It's attitude hitherto has
been that Of generous creditor, less

To judge from the comment OF the
London press, it feels that under the
American formula of ability to pay It

The queerest bookseller we ever ran
into was the irate old gentleman who
didn't want his customers to touch
his books.
just how a dealer in books expects
to sell them without permitting pros
poets to look them over must remain
a mystery.
A book is not a ton of coal, to be
shuttled into the basement without In
spection. Nor is a book, either good
or bad. product to be brought In
wrapped in paper, sight unseen.
A book Is an intimate thing, the
combined product of human mind and
hands. but 1t Is more than that: A
book Is only an article when 1t re-
mains unread: 1t is not book until
the mind Of the reader shakes hands
with that of the writer.
This intellectual greeting ID what
makes q book a book, and 1t Is the
only thing that does make book q
book. The book on the shelf may be
satisfying to the eye, 1t may have a
pleasing decorative quality, 1t may har-
monte with the wall paper, but UNI
less some one around has read It, 1t
Is something less than a genuine book.
1t may be put down as an axiom,
therefore, that the personal qualities
of book must be inspected before the
purchaser cares to become its reader.
This means that he must take the
volume In hand, give 1t the critical
"once over" subject 1t to close in
spection.
Publishers have a satisfying habit
of making their covers, paper, type,
etc, 1T the book content. Yet one
cannot know this until he takes the
book actually in hand for o few
moments.
The mere looking over a book is
satisfying process to book purchaser.
No proper store willingly denies its
customers this delight. Not only does
it whet their appetite for the book in
hand, but it keeps them in the booky
mood.
So the old bookseller who few into
a rage because his books were handled
proved an interesting exception to the
rule. His shop was on the boardwalk
at a seaside resort. Probably 1t Is
there yet, although one hesitates 10
make such a promise. Surely man
so inconsiderate could not long endure
in business.
He was white haired, white-mus-
tached, and spoke with decided Ger
manic accent The time was shortly
after the World war, ana maybe InaI
had something to do with his attitude.
His stand, If 50 1t might be called,
had a good location. in sight of the
ocean. II was bathed in the brisk
salt breeze, which must have been
pretty hard on the backs Of the books.
Moisture does the average book no
good. 1t is responsible for warped
covers and pages which incline to
bend out of th.ir due shape.
After one had sampled the orange
beverages along the boardwalk, looked
in at the various stands selling almost
everything one could think of, eaten
saltwater taffies. and gone into the
piers, the sight of a bookstall was a
vast relief, as 1t sat there on the edge
of the flow of humanity, offering its
books in neat rows on easily accessible
shelves.
Perhaps 1t was this feature which
fooled us. Those books fairly held
out their arms to the passersby, but
most of the happiness seekers had
their thoughts elsewhere. They pre-
ferred taffy, orange juice and the pros
poets of bathing. Down below on the
beach hundreds OF men, women and

WILLOW CREEK MINE PUSHING OPERATIONS
 INSTALLS NEW MILL

The Golden Bear Mining Co.,, operating in the Willow Creek dis trict, north of the head of Cook Inlet, recently completed the in stallation of a new mill at the com pany'S camp at the Gold Cord mine. Milling operations began last week
 William R. Law. the companys president who departed on the s. s. Yukon enroute to his home in Los Angeles reported that development work to date has been of very encouraging nature. Mining con- tinued steadily thru the season and a substantial body of gold lode is now on the dump ready to be mill ed. MT Law, the moving spirit in the enterprise, is very well pleased with the showing made during the summer This is one of the most important developments in this area and the mine, like others in the district should net substantial returns to it's owners.
 The Willow Creek district is one of the largest of the gold lode camps outside of southeastern All aska and has already produced many hundreds of thousands of dollars. The principle mines in this area are those of the Willow Creek MiG2es Inc, the Fern Gold Mining O., and the Mabel Mining Co.,, A number of other properties are being prospected by small groups of miners. The success of developments during the season continues to justify extensive min ing and prospecting in this area.
