too ITALIANS AND THE LOAN. Ma;::, italians in this couutry are said to bavo refused
to buy Victory Loan bond because of the American re t'u:.al to let Itrly have Fiunie. Quite aside from the merits of the territorial disyuLf, this "'a5 an absurd
thing to do, because the United Stares at the time was J
still engaged in helping to finance Italy. American loans advanced to Italy, during and since the war, had amounted to mote than Sl.SOO.OOO.'o. far ; more than a'.l the Liberty nond sugscriptions of Italians in this country In all the loans taken together. And an ! additional f 50.0'M,000 was advanced to the Italian gov
ernment after the Italian delegation had left the Teace

Probably 75 per crnt of the people who took part in anarchistic parades on Slay Day did it because they knew no better.

TAKING HER MEDICINE. The bitter pill that the U. S. and its European Allies have been concocting at Versailles for six months was handed the Germans to swallow yesterday and it was the most nauseous dose they have ever had to tak. There were a great many intelligent people in this world who have been borrowing trouble for some time
feartnir that tha ftinlnmatir nill-mixpra would not make '
the bolus bitter ecouch. but when they saw it on exhibi-! lit"le an- -n?
Hon at the Trianon their f?ars fled. It was a pill that will cure Germany if it doesn't kill her. It will restore her to sanity, it will nauseate her and 'the griping pains will be terrible to bear, but the dose presented by Drs. Clemenceau. Wilson and Lloyd George is an antidote to the greedy, grasping rapacious and bloody disease that Germany was afflicted with. Now watch her writhe after ehe swallows it.
GERMANS READY FOR BUSINESS. Germany will sign the peace terms, and sign them rrobably with so little demur as w-m leave the world gaping. But why? Because Germanyds anxious to get back into commercial life, and she has already made preparations on a bigger scale than is realized commonly. Being prepared, she chafes at the inaction and delay which prevent her making a little real monsy. According to a news correspondent who has been visiting our boys on the Rhine, many provinces are making big displays, of cutlery, farm implements and hardware. And it i asserted that in Coblenz knives have been rut on sale in the stores which have been manufactured in Germany but bear the names of British firms; and, according to one Ohio boy, the name of a w ell jtnoiin Cleveland hardware firm decorates others. The German ports are flooded with Germtn salesmen ready to set sail at the first possible moment for foreign trade fields. They are ;aid to be backed with plenty of good1; to start a highly aggressive campaign. They also have been instructed ' to ignore slights and insults, but get business. All of which gos to prove that America and the allied nations should prepare likewise.. For while Germany will have a hard row to hoe industrially spite of all her efforts to he ready, industry is a characteristic of hpeople, and she has never been over-serupulous about her selling" methods.

WHAT GOOD WAS IT ANYWAY? Carter Glass, secretary of the treasury, takes occasion to send to the newspapers of the country a 152 word telegram boomjng the VietoT Loan. The telegram might better have been sent by mail and so have saved telegraph charges. But nothing so commonplace would do. It must, go by wire and all other messages must wait while it crowds its way through. It is this disposition to "blow in' public money that Is doing more than anything else to discourage subscription to the loan, and Mr. Glass should know it. Somehow or other the people have a prejudice against subscribing money that they feel Is going to be wasted, and upon the whole they are not to blame. For the sake of the example, if not the saving of money, government officers should place a curb on their extravagance and waste. Fort Wayne New?.
