XXX NOVEMBER 2, 1922 No. 26 GERMANY LOST ONLY THE WAR Truly America is nothing if not magnificent. Germany can attest to that. While no country in the world is carrying more than 5.000.000.000 of worth less paper marks, the United States is the proud possessor of German paper currency to the extent of 80.000.000.000 marks, bought at an aver age price of $12 per thousand. Today German marks are selling at 70 cents a thousand. Translated into American currency. America has invested $960.000.000 in German money since the armistice and the investment today is worth only $56,000.000. The loss therefore rests at $904.000,000. with a strong possibility that it will increase. Disclosures show that America has given to Germany since the end of the war more than twice the amount of gold the Germanic govern ment has paid in war indemnities to the entire combination of the allies up to date. Surely greed, and the desire to get something for nothing, has led the country into dangerous paths. The best America get out of the situation is a laugh, because indirectly the whole nation will suffer from the Saturnalia of speculation that has led down the lane of folly. However. our big city financiers undoubtedly will hesitate before smiling again when the simple, unsuspecting countryman falls a victim to the astute gold brick swindler of the city. Germany has unloaded on the city slickers the most gigantic financial Ignus fatuous in the history of the ages. The Mississippi Bubble is a piker's game compared with it. Such national idiocy, like the wisdom of the Lord. passeth all under standing. Truly can it be said that Germany has lost nothing but the war. Facts at hand show that the absorption of this printing phantom cur rency has been brought about chiefly by American citzens of German origin, which serves only to show that "sympathetic interest" in the fatherland did not end with the laying down of arms. But to this has been added greed for gold on the part of the city leeches of undoubted American origin and it has created a situation that is deplorable both from a moral and financial standpoint. LOOK OUT FOR THE REFORMERS The appointment of Colonel Jason S. Joy, former National Executive Secretary of the American Red Cross as liasion officers between those who produce motion pictures and those who desire to see them play a better *trt in American life, may prove of benefit, but Mr. Hays should be careful to see that the motion picture pendulum does not swing the other way to the injury of the Industry. The world is filled with cranks, soreheads, and meddlesome people who live to reform everything in life but their own annoying character latics. Naturally, everyon would like to see the salacious stripped from the screen, and it will~ . At the same time it is easy to bend do far backwards that someone i will fall down. If the cranks have their way the film will be so emasculated that it I will draw an audience only of mollycoddles which fortunately are in the 4 great minority. It maW be well to talk of measures that will safeguard the immature mind from undue screen influence, though even this has its dangers. The drama has been kept safe and sane by the protection of public opinion and undoubtedly the screen will be safe if it be guarded by those , who support it. / Mr. Col. Joy as an aide to Hays has his work cut out for him, and it is not to provide a willing ear to every Pharasacal' reformer. - I THE HERALDEIGHTEEN YEARS AGO : Gleanings From Algiers News And Happing During The Fourth Week In October 1904, When This Paper Was A Husky Infant , Belevrlng that Herald readers, ew ones as well as the faithful old-timers. s will be Interested In a glimpse of Algiers events as recorded In this newspaper exactly nnlaeteen years ago, when The Herald was then only tea years old.

Parker on the mat n ter of conservation. The question l immediately under discussion was e the situation pertaining to the use of n natural gas in the State and a broad n er distribution of this product to the y people. Gov. Parker since his inaug h uration has put forth every effort to interest capital in the building of e pipe lines to distribute the natural gas from the Monroe fields to New Orleans and other points. With this i In view, by his direction the Depart ment of Conservation made a thor I e ough survey of the situation, and it I was clearly demonstrated that the plan was entirely feasible and practi cal to pipe gas to New Orleans at a cost which would Justify the building t of the line. Both the Governor and the Commi.. r sloner are now much concerned over the published statements recently1 that a "combination was being form- t ed by capitalists with large holdingsI in the Monroe gas fields with the avowed purpose of taking gas from! that field to Texas points, leaving the distribution at New Orleans and other cities of Louisiana entirely out of the question." Commissioner I Alexander declares it will be the pol icy of his department to fight any movements to distribute gas outside of Louisiana from Louisiana fields unless the Interests of the 8tate had the cities therein are first consider. ,o. Books Centuries Old. Some of England's oldest art treasures, from Durham cathedral's monastic library, were recently brought to London and placed on view at the Victoria and Albert museum. Most of the work in northern English of the earlier Anglo'Irlsh schools of Lindlsfarne and Durham, and the ex amples of caligraphy and illumination range in dates from the Seventh to the Fourteenth century. Among the mann. scripts are two traditionally attributed in the Middle ages to the venerable Bede, but this ascription is not now accepted. There are, also, several of the books given to the monastery by the Bishops William de St. Carlieph (1080.1000) and Hugh de Pulset (Pud. sey) 1154-1195. Three of the four volumes of Pudsey's Bible, as one of the most splendid in existence, are Included In the enhibit.-Londeo Times. Labrador Has Healthful Climate.

The City of New Orleans is Authorized by The 1921 Constitution of The State 'of Louisiana Subject to approval of the electorate of the City of New Orleans, to issue, upon recommendation of the Pub lic Belt Railroad Commission, $5,000,000.00 of bonds ' to be known as New Orleans Public Belt Railroad Bonds. Extensions, additions, betterments and construc tion of the Belt Railroad to any extent can not be made except from the avails of bond issues. These bonds will be paid out of the revenues of the Belt Railroad. The demands for increased facilities must be instantly met with the increasing growth of the Port of New Orleans. ,All voters-both tax paying and non-tax paying-are . urged to go to the Polls Tuesday, November 7, and cast their ballot for this bond issue. .NEW ORLEANS PUBLIC BELT RAILROAD CO S', TORESTRY MOVEMENT GIVEN GREAT IMPETUS The contract entered into by the Department of Conservation and the Great Southern Lumber Company, setting asid," 53.000 acres of cut-over land in Washington parish for refor estation. is a great forward move ment in forestry. and a distinct tri umph for the policy adopted years ago by Ca:mmissioncr Alexander. t. When that official entered into the first contract of this kind with the Urania Lumber Company In 1913. his '1 friends told him he was committing td political suns ide, for the plan was cer tain to arouse bitter opposition be )t. cause it involved the fixed assess n. ment of the land for a long term of )f years. But Mr. Alexander knew the d- timber of the State could be renewed r- under no other process, and he bold e- ly took the action. r What followed is well known. The reserve at Urania became a mecca e. for forest conservationists through y out the country. and the action of Louisiana, the first of the kind, was generally endorsed by every section - of the United States. The opposi tion strong at first. passed away with the years. and the contract with the Great Southern not only aroused no opposition, but went through without a dissenting voice. The foresight of Commissioner Alexander had been put to the test and found to be the safe and san,, policy for the State to adopt. The plan is equally beneficial g to the State at large and to the land s. owners. Reforestation is absolutely e necessary if the people of the State are not to be left at the mercy of lumbermen at far distant points for e their building material, and to exces it sie freight charges from the States of Washington and Oregon. The land owners cannot afford to wait without e revenue for a crop for from fifteen r to forty years if taxes are to be ele vated with the annual growth of tim ber, and without a contract protect i1 ing them they would not attempt to reforest cutoier areas-territory un suited to agriculture and of no eco s nomic value except for the growth of trees. r º RIDDLES Of .what modern poet does Goliath remind you?
