GERMANY DEMANDS HER COLONIES

The colonial question is again in the
forefront, with Germany demanding the
return of the colonies taken from her at
the conclusion of the World War. The
contention is made that President Wilson's
fifth point, accepted along with thirteen
others as the famous Fourteen Points pre-.
liminary to a treaty of peace, guaranteed
"a free, open-minded and absolutely i'm
partial adjustment of all colonial claims. ;"
aga When the war began Germany pos
sessed colonial empire of 1887, 1874
square miles, with a population of 49,
051 900 persons. Located in the tropics
and unsuited for European settlement, the
colonies had only 24,4O0 white inhabitants
including Germans and aliens. Her i'm
perialists, not satisfied with it, demanded
"place in the sum- but at the end of the
fighting the entire empire was distributed
to various administrations
The intrinsic value of the colonies to
Germany was very small. Their total trade
in 1913, the year before the war amount
ed to $86,00O,00O, or about one-fifth of
one per cent of the world total of $41,-
838,000,000. Only slightly more than a
third of the colonies trade was with Ger
many and it amounted to only six-tenths
of one per cent of the total trade of Ger
many.
q Notwithstanding these facts the Ger
many of today wants its colonies returned
more as matter of prestige than any,
thing else. Recently, DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
Minister of Economics, declared that "the
future of European peace" depends upon
satisfying the demand for the return of
the overseas possessions. The report from
Paris was that, under certain circum-
stances, France might consider handing
back the share of Togoland and Came
rooms, approximating one-fourth of the
lost empire.
While Dr. Schacht insists that Ger
many's economic existence depends upon
colonies there is nothing in the past to in
dictate any such Importance attaches to the
issue. However, it works to create dis
content in Germany where privations are
explained by the lack of the former colo
NAL empire.

MAKE AUTO KILLING UNPOPULAR

When the final figures are tabulated
and released, it will probably be found
that 1886 was the worst year in our history
so far as automobile accidents were con-
cerned.
More than $4,000 men, women and
ands were injured Property damage ran
into the billions.
At least 80 per cent of this CHASTITY
destruction can be ascribed to but one
thing: the human element.
1t is a telling commentary on our
driving habits that the worst accidents
commonly occur on good roads under ia
vorable conditions of light and weather,
and involve cars in excellent condition.
The reason for this is simple enough. Driv-
ers exaggerate, the safety factors of
roads and weather and cars. They take
chances. They succumb to the lure of
speed Beyond any reasonable need. They
pass other cars on hills and curves, weave
in and out of traffic and zoom around cor
ners at horrible cost of life, health and
property
Efforts to educate these drivers, to
appeal to their senses of reason and fair
ness and courtesy, have failed practically
100 per cent. That being true, the next
step is a massed public opinion that will
strengthen traffic laws and traffic patrols,
and strictly punish those guilty of driving
errors that cause accidents. If the reck-
less driver refuses to mend his ways, he
must be forced to. And if, after a period
of time, he has shown that fines and other
punishments won't do the work, he must
be deprived of the right to operate a car
! ons public streets and highways.
sssc 1t is estimated that 10 per cent of
divers are reckless, while 90 per cent are
reasonably capable and cautious. Will
shat dangerous 10 per cent continue to be
I allowed to imperil all the rest of us and to
make slaughter houses of our public
roads?

said it after election that the Mississippi

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Ossie Bluege of the Washington Sena- tors, one of the classiest fielders in American League history. regards double play he started against the Philadelphia Athletics in 1928 as the most thrilling play of his career.
 The Philadelphians and the New York Yankees were running down the stretch in tight pennant race The As mere meeting Washington here in Labor Day double header.
 Washington was run ahead as the As came to bat in the first of the ninth. Connie Mack's crew filled the bases with one out and Mack sent Eddie Collins up as a pinch-hitter.
 Collins struck a sharp hit between third and short and Bluege dove for it. How he got it, he doesn't know to this day. He Tipped the ball to Bucky Harris at second. So quickly was the play made that Harris hadn't time to get to the bag and had to leap to get the ball. Bucky whirled and caught Collins for the final out.
 Collins tore his hair, he was so mad He still calls me damnable Dutchman," Bluege says.
