i . Germatty Foiled' - ' If the Germans believed that their, refusal to meet the reparation demands would create a misunderstanding between. Jthe; allies or gain sympathy for them in America, they probably realize
their mistake by this time.
The allied diplomats w&te in, accord in the pro
posal to occupy more German territory, and America did not protest against the action. From
a strategic standpoint Germany has gained noth
ing by her decision to protest the payments. .. One of the astounding revelations of the negotiations was - the fact . that Germany still believes she is not responsible for thenar and that the allies are acting unjustly and harshly in imposing further disciplinary measures to collect the money which they believe should-be paid as a result of the war. This attitude is resented by the allies whose vpeopjer suffered fte verelyrpm the Inroads of the German army. The restoration of French districts, for instance, will not be completed for "many years, owing to the ruthlessness with jwhich property was destroyed and the havoc that fceas wrought byjth artillery, of '.the engaging ie'Fraiwwin'ot'' satisfied unless, Germanypays;hcavily fpr the inflicted damage.' Her people" and" her statesmen insist that Germany jnust be crippled so badly that she cannot undertake another war of aggression. f If Germany has misunderstood the temper of he allies; the latest occupation of her territories ought to convince her that the allies mean to carry out the terms of the treaty. C-
ently ought to co-operate with congress when it shows a disposition to take lis at bur word and to eliminate sources of expense. "v- , ; Purely local considerations ought to have no voice in determining an expenditure. The public ought not to ask for improvements and the creation of offices that do net serve the whole country. If we are sincere in our wish for economy, we ought not to object to an elimination of appropriations intended for selfish or political purposes, v ' ; . Along with the movement to check the desire of, the people to spend the people's, money is a growing wish among taxpayers that the executive machinery receive a thorough overhauling to eradicate unnecessary offices, to expedite the handlingof government "business, and to introduce business-like methods. Hundreds of millions of dollars could be saved by these changes, business experts say. In a day of stupendous government expenditures, the dictates of economy emphatically recommend the application of methods that will save this money for the American people.

.Secretary Mellon's Warning; d'X- X
"The people generally must become more in-
rested in saving the government's money than
En spending jt," says Secretary Mellon in his first
oxuciai statement. , .;; if Unquestionably no small part of the public expenditures are for unnecessary improvements and for projects that might be postponed for years without injuring the public welfare.. The secretary rightly argues that if the public will quit asking for some of the unnecessary improvements that find their way into "pork" bills, it will be relieved, of part of the heavy tax burden. X, The public will find little fault with congress it it lops off every unnecessary item irt lapprO priation bills and restricts expenditures to the jftjjost necessary things. The public! has been clamoring for reduced expenditures, and consist-
Gaining Good Will The relief work which America has been doing, in the stricken countries of the world will be cumulative in the good will and gratitude which it engenders in the beneficiaries. No nation can practice charity on the broad scale of the American dispensation of kindness without reaping a reward in the everlasting gratitude of the men
and women who have been fed, clothed and healed. The nations .that have appealed to N us for breadto feed their starving thousands have not been turned away. America has met their re
quests willingly and gladly. Vast, sums of money have been given to purchase food, clothing and medicine. Thousands of Americans have distributed the relief and with words of encouragement cheered the men and women who had lost faith and hopei America's work in the Near East and in raising money for the relief of the starving children
w of European countries is one of the finest
achievements of our nation. Millions have been saved from death to thank us for our benevolence and kindness. In their hearts has been kindled anew a desire to live and achieve. And even now the American farmer is demonstrating the measure of his love for the starving peoples of the world. He is making a generous donation of corn to be sent abroad "for the relief of starving populations. Thousands of bushels will soon be on their way to help drive the specter of starvation from lands where men and women are subsisting on roots and grass. America's glory is not in her resources, but irr the generosity with which she idrawsr- on her wealth to help the needy and starving ' Therein does she exemplify her greatness and manifest
J her nobility to the people of the world.
Ain't it a Grand and Glorious Feeling!

went to Oregon in 1876. Four years later, he was elected to the Oregon house of representa-' tives. He became district attorney of the third judiciary district, 1884-86,' was attorney, general of the state, -1891-95, and district attorney of the; fourth district. 1900-04.

The retention by the president of a bill unsigned so that it does not become a law, in virtue of the following constitutional provision: "If any bill shall not be returned by the president within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the congress by their adjournment prevent its return, in which case, it
shall not be a law." By keeping these! two bills unsigned until after congress)

has today. The word "nephew" originally meant a grandchild, and is
used in this sense in the old English ! writers," Spencer. Shakespeare, Hooker and Ben Johnson. It was formerly so used in the Bible (see Timothy ! v:4): "If a woman have children or a
nephew," in the original meaning descendants, though in the revised version the word nephew has been replaced by the Word grandchildren. The word niece follows the same rule, being derived from the word nephis. a granddaughter, and Holland says that niece is a descendant of the female.

TODAY'S TALK By Georpo Matthew Adami, Author of "You Can", "Taka If. "Up". MY FRIEND IS GONE The four short words above tell the whole story. What I may be able to say in addition, therefore, must be by way of explanation and, perhaps, parenthesis. We left our towns and deBks for a vacation. At the start we set upon a plan to go 50-50 clear through to pool our interests and have a happy time. We had known each other for 15 years. The first day we met, we liked one another. He looked four-square to me and he has told me that I looked that way to him. Through the years we have seen much of each other and have romped in mind and body together. We have talked of big and little things. There has been a lot in common between us. He is one of the folks my friend! He despises insincerity and veneer. He is"" famous across the country and has made an unusual material success. But these things have only added to his heart and made him kinder and more thoughtful. My friend is one of the most generous men I have ever known. Pink teas and fancy dress balls, however, have never appealed to him. I have seen him talk to some of the country's biggest men and they have always been honored' by his ideas and opinions. And yet I have never known him to sneer at a man or woman because they were poor or unfortunate. He has always seemed to be the friend, of anybody, who is on the level. For over two. weeks we were together and happy every minute. Each always understood the other and became rather lonely wheii we were separated. But last night he went away. He was called home. .Today my friend is gone! My vacation must be finished alone. But in spirit I shall finish it with him because we started out to do it 50-50! It's a small world and a life all too short where there is mutuality of interest and earnestness of purpose. I wish there were more friends in the world.

HOW TO REDUCE VARICOSE VEINS Many people have become despondent because they have been led to believe that there is no remedy that will reduce swollen veins and bunches.

diana, a book agent entered his office one morning and undertook to sell him a new edition of the Bible. Marshall interrupted to ask who the author was. "W-h-y, this is the Bible," explained the agent. "I am fully aware of that," answered Marshall. "But I a3k you who is the author?"
The agent explained he was offer-' ing the Bible. j "I know," said Marshall, "but who ' is the author?" j Gathering up his samples, the Book j agent retreated to the door, then with one hand on the knob, turned around : and shouted, "You pin-headed fool i
and blithering idiot, it's the Bible." "In the future we will have no such thing as war." "No," agreed the grim scientist. "If my present experiments in lethal devices meet my hopes, we'll have something very much worse."
