SHIPPING Loss STATEMENT

NN July Is, 1917, a dispatch from
~ a press correspondent in Lon
don announced that the loss of
ships by submarines totaled 1,600,-
600 tons a month, or from two to
three times the total Of new con-
struction."
Though the submarine situation,
as evidenced by the above an
nouncement, was growing more and
more serious, Admiral Lacaze,
French minister Of marine, felt
more optimistic about it. He said:
ut is true we are suffering con-
siderable losses, but every month
increases our certainty of being able
TO repair them. Furthermore, we
are in a position to stand these
losses, as large part in a new
construction will be taken by the
United States.
THE shipbuilding already under
way, the effect of which will natur-
ally only be felt after certain
time, is great enough to replace the
highest average Of destruction the
submarines are likely to reach.
THE curve representing the ton
mage sunk does not mount steadily,
but rises and falls. We know, too,
that the Germans find great diff
Guilty in obtaining trained crews for
submarines"

Dog Star

A T the present time, six Aneri-
4 n can and one English observa-
tories are cooperating in a. pro-
gram Of measuring stellar distances
by the parallaX method.
Recently the results of the work
to date were assembled into a cata-
log by DR.. Frank Schlesinger, direc-
tor Of the Yale university observa.
tory. 1t gives the distances of 1870
stars.
These, Of course, are the nearer
stars. The distances Of more re-
mote stars are estimated.
Let us suppose that we know the.
distance Of a certain star from par
allax measurements. Suppose now.
that spectroscopic study reveals
that another star of unknown dis
lance is exactly like the star of
known distance, exactly like 1t both
In size and in true brightness.
1t is possible then to estimate ths
unknown distance by comparing the
apparent brightness of the two stars.
Obviously, the farther away the star
OF unknown distance is, the DINNER
it will appear.
The parallax measurements show
that the nearest star is $4,000 900. =
100000 miles away. The distance is
more conveniently stated In light
years. A light year, the distance a.
beam Of light travels in a year, is
5000, 900, 100000 miles.

Drugs Act Began Honest Advertising

marily the label on package and the
composition of the preparation anc
does not extend to the advertising.
Various bodies have been made
up on voluntary basis to limit ad-
vertising claims and to secure hon
esty in promotion.
Most important of all, however, Is
the realization by the great man
ufacturers of both foods and drugs
that times have changed and prod
uctS honestly manufactured and
honestly advertised have far
more permanent future than fly
by-night preparations sold with ex-
aggerated claims.
The purchaser of modern food
product or a modern drug prepara-
ton can judge its value more def
nitely by the label than by any
other method.
The old preparation that used to
be sold as a cure for tuberculosis is
now called simply a remedy to be
used in treatment of coughs. An
intelligent understanding of the
pure food and drugs law and what
it means will do much to aid its
enforcement.

been gradually reduced from original British figure
of 125 billions to the much more moderate figure in
the Young plan. But even this has become a burden
too great TO be borne Inability to continue repara-
tons payments led to the French invasion of the
Ruhr in January, 1928, the imitation of German cur
rency and more serious blow to German economic
life than the war itself Germans still SILVER as they
describe the horrors of the years 1924
Germany has made heroic efforts since 1924 to or
ganize her economic life and meet her burdens, but
the steady drain involved in reparations interest on
loans and the like, coupled with world depression
have been too much for her. Thus she now stands
face to face with sheer collapse and the results of
such calamity paralyze the world with fear
How much better it would nave been if statesman
ship had prevailed in 1918 instead of 1884, if gen.
crosby and goodwill had dominated at Versailles
and if a great international economic council had
been called decade back to provide for world wide
economic readjustment to postwar conditions.

The Appeal to History

Is our present economic depression a temporary
knockout from which shall stagger to our feet
quickly, or is it a paralysis from which We shall
suffer for years? Does it resemble the crisis of 1921
or that which followed 1882 This is a crucial
question
W. j. Eiteman in the New Republic presents five
basic points of resemblance between the present
and 1913.
l. A major war Q861-E1914-1a.
2. A trade depression resulting from readjustment
of industry to peacetme demands Q865-192D.
3. A period of industrial boom characterized by
expansion, Inventions optimism, speculation and talk
of new eras" d867-73-1923-29).
4. stock market crash believed in each period
to be a technical reaction (September, 1873
October, 1920.
5. long period of depression Q873-77-1929-? p.
In both periods the great crash was followed by
hope optimism, assurance of the short duration Of
the depression minor ups and downs in stock values
and business activity and utter incapacity of those
in authority to lay out decisive plans to cope with
the large issues involved The country slowly nludded
through to gradual return of prosperity after 1877
following colossal and in part unnecessary losses and
suffering. President Hoover now assures us that the
American people must be left free to find their way
back to better days without aid of social and eco
nomc blueprints from the White House.
AnalogieS are always interesting, and this one is
not only interesting but of immense practical sig
nifcance to Americans. We can not be sure that
the years following 1929 need resemble to any marked
degree those after 1873 but we may be certain that
they are likely to do just in the degree that we
avoid responsible planning for relief and go on drift
ing as they did back in Grants day.
This is the great historic lesson that 1S73-1S77
has to teach and the true nature of any historic
parallel which may exist. There was no reason why
things should have gone to pieces badly as they
did after 1873. Political rhetoric and industrial and
financial bluff and futility then allowed to take
the place of realistic effort to get at the root of
the trouble and apply remedies
The greatest appeal today is not to history but
to human imagination and constructive social en-
cheering The chief lesson of history with reference
not only to 1873 but to all periods is that ncompe-
tence, blindness, evasion and nadequacy have in
variably been fatal in every human emergency
There is less excuse for us in 1881 Back in 1873
there was little experience with captalistc industry
and finance to draw upon for guidance. 1t was a
new toy. Today we have more than half century
OF the most varied and cogent experiences to
make use of.

farmers Self PITY

KTANY profess fear that the fed

A more justiflable cause of ap~

Farmers believe that congress
could do something to prevent both

Besides, they dwell in an atmos-

The Chickens Come Home

The present frantic efforts to save German credit
and financial stability remind the candid observer of
the old adage about locking the door after the horse
is stolen.
During the last thirteen years the entente nations
have been doing everything possible to make German
economic readjustment and recovery difficult, if not
impossible. Now when German collapse seems i'm
minent and may most serious economic
debacle throughout the world, these same govern
ments try to undo in week the damage done in
q decade
One of the clauses of the secret treaties stated
that an allied victory must be followed by the de
struction of the economic power of Germany" The
treaty of Versailles a pretty definite effort to
destroy Germany economically.
The most serious blow the seizure of much
of her coal and iron The rich coal mines IN
the Saar valley handed over to France pending
the results of plebiscite in 1885, Germany was also
deprived of much of her hard coal in Upper SleSia
Combined this meant a loss of about IS per cent
of her total coal Moreover, from this re-
duced supply Germany was required to make enor-
nous free deliveries of coal her victorious enemies.
Along with this great depletion of her coal supply
ermanv lost three-fourths of her iron ore through
the return of Alsace-Lorraine to France. She also
sost the great textile industries of Asace. At time
when her own civilians were dying of starvation
result of the entente blockade after the armsce Ger
MANY was required to turn over to France great
quantities of livestock and agricultural products.
Germany was compelled to surrender her merchant
marine to the vctors and to build 100000 tons of ship
ming annually for the entente. France took the
hest rolling stocks from the German railroads. Ger
many was further penalized by tariff and admins
trative measures German products excluded for
FIVE years from entente countries and Germany was
made to put these entente countries the most IA
vored nation" list in her tariff regulations. She
was thus prevented from dumping her goods abroad
and forced to accept dumping from her enemies
On top of all this came the crushing burden of
reparations. These payments for civilian damages
would have been heavy enough without the inclusion
of pensions in the total This latter preposerous folly
was due to the influence OF General SHUTS Presi-
dent Wilson. The leading American economic advisers
at Versailles implored Mr. Wilson not to include pen
sions holding that it absolutely illogical. Wilson
then made his famous reply: Logic! LogicI don't
give a damn for logic am going to include pen
sions." And he did. thus doubling the PREPARATIONS
total.
The specific total OF reparations payments has

AN0A AOO4N LANDS

THAT was an amazing thing which occurred in
Il London the other night when 10000 people went
wild as Premier Macdonald and Lloyd George de-
nounced their old ally, France for obstructing the
moratorium, designed to save Germany, their hated
foe of yesterday.
Never has Europe seemed a snoldering world
volcano than now, never have the run1blines
been more threatening nor the defiance of human
wisdom greater 1t is bewldering staggering chaI-
lenge to craftsmanship, almost like a black edct
of fate
The coming disarmament conference at Geneva
will meet under more compelling circumstances than
ever urged relief from crushing ornaments before
France will find herself almost alone, Russia Italy
Germany Great Britain and the United States stand
ing for reduction.
A ND yet who fail to appreciate the attitude
OF France. Millions Of her sons are dead anc
crippled and just the border is her mighty foe
No wonder she puts her faith in front
But conditions may not wait for the Geneva con-
ference
The moratorium is far from being universally &C.
claimed in Germany both Hitlerites and the Com
munsts scorning it, while the strength of the republic
rests IN one old man, Hindenberg.
Before him the majority of Germans bow bu
should his old heart cease to beat some day the re-
pup &c might he buried with him, and then there viii
be but result in Germany-civil war, and on thu
ending Of that will depend whether sixty million peo
pie shall turn to monarchy Bolshevism. One life
is very slender thread to hold the fate of millions
particularly when that life is very old.
CHoULD Germany go Bolshevist then every other
~ nation in Europe will build walls against the REQ
HOOD; they will forget their international hatreds anc
grid themselves to fight for sef-preservaton, and il
VIII be the greatest menace since the dark ages.
Alongside the threat which hovers over Europe
the questions of this land simple and the prob
lens OF our statesmen light as air., Come what may
let US stay on this side Of the Atlassic ocean.
