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.

LOUISIANA RESOURCES
d ARE FOR LOUISIANIANS
I
s Some days ago Commissioner Alex
ander of the Department of Conser
d vation, was in Baton Rouge In con
e ference with Gov. 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.

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

Labrador Has Healthful Climate.
The climate of Lahrador is not e:`
celled anywhere in the world for its
bracing and nlovigorating effegt. .Testl
moany gathered from hundreds of work
men, prospectors, visitors, sailors, fish
ermen, officials, lumbermen, and
scientific men have shown that, with.
out exception, their general health has
Improved, and they have been able
to sleep quite a material proportion
of the twenty-four hours longer than
at their own homes. Without excep
tion where access to proper food has
beer, possible, the tendency has heen
to increase in weight In our winters.

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.
