The other nations which participated in that indemnity have recently remitted their claims in recognition of China's fevering of relations with Germany. Germany's claim, of course, has been forfeited. When the war in over we t-hall join other nations in demanding that Germany make Rood the damage she has done, hut Mbtory will not. record any act of oppressive nature in which we shall have a share. "With malice toward none; with charity for all."' were the words in which the immortal Lincoln expressed the sentiment of the American people toward ;ill with whom we may have differences even though our disagreement be settled only by the arbitrament of war.

THE TIMES Is pleased to accede to the wish of j the executive officers of tho War Savings Committee

in announcing that Lake county's quota of the $:2,0of,- 4 Rudyard Kipling as a volunteer statesman, freelancing

000,000 War Savings and Thrift Campaign is $2.917.S2

This quota is computed on a basis of $20 for every man, woman and child in Lake county.

KIPLING AND THE GERMANS. A great author isn't necessarily a great sfateraan.

YOUR BUSINESS CHARACTER. In all business operations involving credit, certain requisites are essential if the risk is to prove satisfactory to the one who extends the credit. These requisites are best expressed in what has well been termed the 'Three Big C's of Credit," namely, Character, Capacity and Capital. This talk will cover the first.

in international affairs, isn"t so convincing as Kipling

the story-teller. Kipling once issued a long war stater.ien. disposing of the Germans. He announces that the conflict, has become for the Te'uton "not a war of victories, but a war of extermination for his species." He breathes bitter hatred in saying that "n'l the rats are before us in the same ditch," and the onntliet is, for the ISritish and their allies, simply a question of killing the rats. When they get through killing, he sussests, "there will be very little of the German problem to settle. No Germany will

rtmain. There will be a few peoples living on the eternal

In order to possess a business character, a man need j defensive in moral, social and political trenches, but

cot have what is ordinarily known, as business honesty, for business honesty is not as big a thing as business integrity. Neither need a man say long prayers and pass the plate, however admirable these trait3 may be. He must have more than a semblance of religion; he must carry the religion of the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount and the Golden Rule into his business life. He must do no tricky thing; he must be on the level. He must give the square deal. Hi sword must be better than his bond. He must mark goods fairly, advertise honestly, rectify any error, correct any misunderstanding, and never forget that his best advertisement is a satisfied customer, and satisfied customers are made only by business integrity. The underlying reason why some men have become great merchants is to be found in the "spirit of the house." There are great stores in every large city whose greatness is due to the single fact that they have back of them business character. Their good will, worth millions, is a good will of Integrity. It has taken years to build it up. The buying public soon finds out the spirit of the house. You can catch a sucker but once. It doesn't pay to try the second time.. You do well to inquire how this element of integrity enters into your business life, for if the banker does not believe in you, you can, pet no loans from him. You can lose this priceless asset by a single lapse from business virtue, and once it is lost it. is hard sledding to regain it. A certain bank made a large sized loan to a builder for a specific operation, with the understanding that the funds were to be used to purchase material and pay labor for that one job. It soon developed that in spite of the fact that the contractor claimed to be progressing well with work, nothing had been dene he had used the money elsewhere. It was a breach of trust. The banker had checked him up, as bankers' generally do. He has lost his character in that bank, and his word no longer goes. Another concern was buying automobiles with the bank's money, giving the hank a trust receipt whereby cars could not b delivered without obtaining a release from the bank and paying on the loan. The banker became suspicious that something was wrong and checked up the cars presumed to be in stock on the trust agreement, and found that four had been sold without accounting to the bank. Result a hasty calling of the

entire loan, loss of confidence, loss of a helpful business

arrangement, friendship. You cannot play fast and loose in business and win out. You cannot deceive your banker for long. He has a knsck of finding things out. Gossip gets to him fast. He has a Feeond sense that smells danger. He is a detective.

there will be no more Germany." It will take more than hatied to defeat the Germans, and more than words to ds-roy fiei-runny. A homogeneous nation of nearly Tt'.(H.,oti people isn't

easily abolished. No matter how decisively the Teutons j may be beaten, there will probably be a, Germany as j long as there is an England. !

WHAT DIFFERENT IDEALS. A correspondent in a letter printed in THE TIMES the other evening called attention to the effort on the the spread of prohibition that is really belonsin;; to the w. c. t. u. As an organization the W. C. T. U. has an honorable record. A wide class of citizenry may not agree with it, buf the "rganiaztion has invariably kept clear of politics and its aim has been the achievement of what it considers an ideal. With the- Anti-Saloon League there is opposite history. It has had its activities perverted into a political machine that recently threatened in veiled mariner the president. Its ideal is to get the money. Candidates, who refuse to bow to it, feel whatever pressure it can bring to bear. The work of the two bodies is patent. On one hand is the W. C. T. U. sincere, on the other the league, raking in the dollars, wallowing in politics, and smelly because of its pernicious lobby at WaihinetOh.

WAR-TIME PEEPS INTO ENGLAND. Meat is so scarce in England that on recent Sundays some families have had to go without their usual joints. Butchers form in line at meat depots to get their supplies and customers get in line at th butcher shops. And there isn't enough to so around. The London papers that come to our desk also speak of the "queues." In England ou wait your turn in line to get meat, butter and buttr-rine. Over there thy also have h habit of neckline public officials when they speak publicly. Sir A. Yapp, controller of fats, was asked why his wife didn't, get in line to buy butter. He explained that, rather than get in line she had done without. Sir Auckland Geddes says that the army needs more men and they will have to come from munition factories. Perhaps some day here we. too, will have to draw on our munition makers to fill up the ranks. That means more burden for the women. Lord Rhondda, who is England's Hoover, fears compulsory, rationing is coming. That means food cards, each tine entitled to an allowance. In this connection we ourselves will have to share the privations of food

clubs in the undertaking. Her plan is to put to good use the material ordi- j restful sleep

narily thrown away in men's shirts that have oeen discarded when they have begun to show wear and patching. Mrs. Gilmore hopes to supply a considerable number of garments to the small children in such real need of them abroad.
