THE BANKRUPTCY OF NATIONS.

The aftermath of the world war finds nearly kail the nations of Europe In a deplorable condi-

ji;ti"on financially and morally The expenditure

let men-and-money has almost ruined the nations paf. continental .Europe and economic disaster is

Fjveii-nght complete

i Franceis making a brave effort to meet her

Lpbligations in the payment of interest, but the Ufebt.b so great that it is doubtful if an indefi-

ruite moratorium. or suspension of payments on I the national debt, can be avoided The German government declares that the nation is bankrupt. Great Britain, with her vast resources, finds

Sjierself financially handicapped by the shrink'

fage in. the value of the pound sterling, and the

jjhpeopie at& taxed. practically to the limit Italy Qashaaging oa. with more hope than with con-

Notenly-il&tfcenatioiis of Eutodo contract

Amounts of currency, without the backing of

frold, Avero issued to -meet domestic obligations. fThiscurrency has depreciated so much that the ipeopla themselves have little confidence in it.

?and it -Is practically- worthless in transactions ywith othercations. Production and' markets constitute the saltation of Europe. Cheap currency must be retained from circulation by the millions, and the r peoples must show by their productive industry Uhat their credit is worthy of confidence.

Instead then, of wiping out the skunk dens,

why not turn this month to a very real enemy.

Yes, we are about to warn you that you ought to swat the fly. There are hundreds buzzing about in most homes. They will be the grandmothers of myriads in July and August. Spare your friends and kill your enemies. Let the skunks alone and swat the fly.

YOUR FRIEND THE SKUNK. A woman walked into a department store, according to a story the boys are telling, and said to the clerk: "Have you any skunk?' "Why, yes," was -the answer, "111 call the floorwalker.' Now why is it that the-lowly-pel ecat is held in such bad repute? True, you don't want him around when you're -giving a garden party, but if folk would but realize it, the skunk is one of the best friends the food-producing farmer has. His assistance in destroying mice, grasshoppers, crickets and whit grubs is considerable in a year. Ned Dearborn, of the bureau of biological survey, says that every farmer might well have two or three dozen skunks working for him all year around with profit. They would yieU, besides, form $50 to $100 a year in fur.

THE MERCHANT MARINE. Chairman Lasker, of the United States Shipping Board, addressing the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, gave an exposition of the pending legislation for the establishment of an American merchant marine that covers all phases of the subject in the simplest and most understandable terms. The business men of America," to whom Mr. Lasker spoke,

hardly need to be told of the necessity for the upbuilding of a merchant marine second to that of no nation in the world; they may, however, feel the specific influence of some of the reasons for early action along the lines proposed by the Washington, administration so clearly set forth by the head of .the shipping board and in turn make their own great influence felt throughout the country. Chairman Lasker points out that a strong reason that has created a new situation in connection with the need for an American merchant marine "is that before the" war America was a debtor nation, and those who controlled the vehicles of transportation on the sea were largely our creditors and would send to us for the goods and raw materials wherewith we should pay what we owed them. Today, no longer a debtor nation, but a creditor nation, through expanded plant capacity and through need of expanding our export business that we may make use of the vast gold reserves that have accumulated, we come into competition with the nations that control the sea carriage for those markets of the world that are still to be developed. And it is to be supposed that in that competition we will not find at all times that prompt and ready service that is the very life

of foreign commerce if we are to rely on ouri

competitors for it." A strong place In the trade of the world, because of conditions existing as a result of the war, demands not only American energy In the factories and upon the farms, but the presence of the American flag in every port of the seven seas. The artificialy maintained merchant marine of government operation is anomalous; there must be one operated and owned as industries are operated and owned. It is known of all who know mything of the subject, however, that the conditions are such that private corporations and individuals must have encouragement to buy and build ships and financial aid from the government in order to compete with foreign shipping interests. The pending legislation provides thoroughly for a real merchant marne. The cash subsidy will mean, in taxes, millions less than now is required from the Treasury to run ships under government direction. And every dollar paid to encourage the upbuilding of a permanent merchant marine will come back to the people of all classes many fold. The ships that will help to form the basis of prolonged and ever-increasing prosperity are here, waiting to serve.

Old Trinity church Is 825 years old. That Is a pretty Ions; time In this country, and when one remembers that its charter was granted by William III of England, it Seems even longer.
