her because he was her brother, that
the labors are not burdens privi

but sincere word of appreciation is

GERMAN BONDS SOL IIEKE.
Some weeks ago a publication deal
ing with financial matters, rather ad
vised the purchase of foreign bonds
for investment. That such advice
from many sources is being taken ad
vantage of i shown by reports coming
from an authoritative source that the
American demand for German in
ternal bonds is now running at the
rate of approximately $1,000,000 a
day. This is merely another way of
saying that depreciated German
marks to the number of about 60,000,
000 to 70,000,000 are being bought
every ''day'' by Americans for specu
lative or investment purposes.
Demand for (German marks is in
creased for another reason also, it is
asserted. Importations of German
goods are now considerably in ex
cess of. what they were a month ago,
this being the other and .perhaps more
significant feature.
The disposition to detest anything
German does not affect one's confi
dence in the ability of Germany to
recover its financial standing. Pos
sibly that confidence intensifies one'
dislike for. the f'JVIade in Germany"
stamp. Some of those who hated it
the most were the first to recognize
the value of an investment in Ger
man securities, and to take advan
tage of it. Needless to say the tend
noted will aid Germany in its fight
to regain commercial standing and
discharge its obligations. It will be
difficult to aid the world without
doing so through that land which
owes so much to the world.
But the attitude of the Secret Ser
vice man is not unattractive in this
connection. "I love my country," he
said, "and would do anything for it.
My work is valuable and necessary
and fine in many ways but I would
just as soon someone else would do
it. I'm going into the army." Some
of us may feel that way about the
purchase of German bonds and Ger
man goods.
THE PUBLIC STRIKES.
No. it is not in New Britain, New
York or any other of the great cities
of the United States that the people
have risen and decided to "lay off in
their patronage of 'grasping persons.
It has happened in gay, fascinating,
soni et i m es lo o k e d a t a s k aji ce Pa r is.
And the beauty of this strike of the
unorganized public is that it seems to
work.
The taxicab owners in the French
capital evidently decided they were
dealing in a necessity. They doubled
their prices. - Grttniblingly the people
of the city paid the increased fares
on the first day and went home to
think the matter over. Those who
believe in the efficacy of thought
transference will declare that this
general concentration on one subject
had its effect. The second day, ac
tuated, by a common purpose, the
people almost all abandoned the use
of the public taxi and patronized sub
ways and omnibuses. Loup; lines of
taxicabs stood idle while the striking
public trooped by, footsore, perhaps,
but cheerfully determined.
At last accounts the strike was still
in force. There are indications, how
over, that the would-be profiteers will
lower their rates. It is said further
that gentlemen who have been charg-
i ing exorbitant prices for other serv
ices ind for commodities fear the
utilisation of this method of com
batting their high charges.
One distinct advantage in this nov
form of slrike is its abolition of
middleman -he strike leader.

people are abused; they think it over;
they decide that the abrse shall be

stop their patronage of the guilty

The warning is given profiteers of
New Britain, if any ther be, that if
they note a look of determination on
the faces of people they meet, it is
probable a public strike is being
called. Universal action -will follow
and the profiteers will be made to
look very foolish. Pigs is pigs and.
