Germany Accepts Allied Terms S 'Withrthe preparations -questions, out. of the Nray, the world is on a fair way to return to normalcy. The negotiations on this point have been a disturbing factor in international affairs from both a diplomatic and a financial standpoint. Until Germany had formally accepted the allied terms, statesmen and business men were unable to proceed with reconstruction policies. ' Germany has agreed to pay the 1,000,000,000 gold marks by June 1, to disarm military and air forces, to pay the 25 per cent due on German 'exports, and to carry out without quibbling or opposition all the obligations of the Versailles treaty. The promise of Germany to pay willbenefit not only that country but the allies as well. A rapid readjustment in the trade and finances of the European countries will follow, 'and the United States may see its way clear to agree on a method of foreign credit financing that will enable our factories to market their goods in markets which now are stagnant because they are unable to pay for deliveries. A sudden improvement in general prosperity all oyer the world need not be expected, but a gradual return to normalcy is sure to come. The chief obstacle,, to this turn in affairs has been removed by Germany's acceptance of the peace terms. Germany 'herself jwill feel the stimulating effect of her willingness to accept the terms which the allied "business men say she can carry out without paralyzing her industries and fomenting internal disturbances. A general improvement in the attflude of the European people toward established government which promotes individual happiness and prosperity is noted. William Dudley Foulke, who has just returned from Europe, says conditions are not so bad as one would be led to expect from some of the

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today V Committees to have' charge of ihe reception of the distinguished guests of the city during xlie G. A. R. en campment here, including General j Warren Keifer of Ohio, soldier and former member of congress, were appointed by the general reception com mittee, of which John L. Rupe was j chairman. I Rippling Rhymes j By WALT MASON j THE PARIAH. The man whose credit's on the blink is known by all upon the street, and it is sad to see him slink around the town on furtive feet. He has a frightened, hunted air. no tranquil hours by him enjoyed; be dfcdges here, he dodges there, the merchant princes to avoid. Perchance he is a gifted scout, the fire of genius in his glim, but he has worn his credit out, and there's no welcome sign for him. No smile of greeting warms his heart as he goes shuffling down the street, but people say, in shop and mart, "There goes Jim Jinx, the blamed old beat." His children suffer for his sins, when to tbe schoolhouse they repair, scorned by the grocer s stall fed twins, and by the village butcher's heir. His wife has met a cold rebuff in nearly every store in town, when she would buy on tick some stuff to make herself a humble gown. So he and his, without the pale, dishonored go their futile way, because he doesn't bring the kale to pay his bills on settling day. Anil It is strange' that any man will such a state of things endure, and be the village also ran, when there is s-uch a simple cure. Let him but show a wise desire to pay his creditors their mon. and nothing more will require to gain a footing in th3 sun. f Good Evening ' The straw hat season will be with uti in a few days, but it is very difficult these days to get a nice, new, clean one in a restaurant. Confessions of Another Cynic , In spite of .the fact that our army is supposed to be the most democratic in the world, I don't recall ever having heard a captain of infantry prefacing a few remarks with "Fellow Citizens." r I have alwavs wanted to murder the rditor-in-chief who leans back on hisj heels and asks a subordinate witu a wife and three children, "How docs !t read?" 1 don't believe it is necessary to koow'a great deal of history in order to make four millions out of tin cans, nr Hn can four millions.

A Chicago judge holds that it is imr.ic(MA fnr'a man to steal from his wife. , We firmly believe the judge lsj 'right. 4.dded to our other troubles we are sttrd' that there wiir be a bumper xp of parsnips this year.

THE

reports that have emanated from overseas. Deluded persons who believed that communism and bolshevism would end all their woes and establish a paradise on earth have profited from the tragic experience of the Russian people. Committees appointed by the Italian workers to investigate the operation of the soviet regime in Russia have returned with pessimistic reports of conditions in that country. Faith in the efficacy of established government to protect life and property is gradually overcoming bolshevist tendencies, and the prospect of long revolutions and communistic control, Mr. Foulke believes, is only a remote contingency. With the reparations question out of the way, the allied governments can devote their attention to the solution of internal questions and evolve solutions for some of the problems that have had a disturbing influence on their affairs.

Increased Benevolences In marked contradiction of allegations that churches are retrograding and losing their hold on their members, is the remarkable increase in the benevolences of nearly all the denominations. Reports made by various Friends committees

here this week show that contributions for mission, educational, relief and promotion work are far in excess of any previous record of the church. Increased opportunities of doing good have been met with greater contributions to carry out' the enterprises. The reports of the Richmond district of the Methodist church a few days ago revealed the same condition. Instead of dropping back, members of the denomination have increased their gifts of love and charity. Three Lutheran churches of the city recently gave big offerings for an educational institution at Springfield, Ohio ; two other congregations of that denomination here raised a substantial sum of money for their educational institutions and the endowment, of the Wernle Orphans' Home in this city. Undoubtedly the two Catholic churches and the congregations of the other denominations have kept pace with the other religious bodies of the city in increasing their contributions for the causes of their respective organizations. The churches have not been lagging and backward in the post-war period, but perhaps have entered upon a new era of progress, in which they are signalizing their faith by gifts of generous proportion.

UNDERTOW

The undertow is the lower current of water in the ocean that' travels in the opposite direction to the surface water that leaps in waves upon the shore. Many people have lost their lives by being caught by this under-, tow and carried out beyond their strength or their ability to keep above it. I once asked an experienced swimmer how to avoid the undertow, and he told me that one should as quickly as possible get above it and float on the upper waters. T have thought a great deal about that advice. There is an undertow to the business of life. People are caught in it and carried out and under and made powerless to return safely to where they once were. Inactivity is a powerful undertow. A man who gets in the habit of not working all the while or of just doing odd jobs, soon finds that the undertow has made him of little value anywhere. The great musician must give most of his days to practice. We must all keep reading, observing, thinking, or else one kind of an undertow or another is going to catch us unawares. So to avoid the undertow, let us keep busy and keep on top! And let us not be too confident of our ability to handle things we know little or nothing about. Remember that very strong swimmers have not been able to cope with a powerful undertow. Do the thing you know and keep knowing it better all the time. But stay away from the undertows especially when you know that they exist.

LEONID B. KRASSIN Following his success in arranging an agreement with tbe British government by the terms of which Great Britain is to resume trade with Russia, Leonid Krassin, a prominent figure in the Lcnine cabinet, plans to visit, the United States and Canada next month. He hopes while here to make an arrangement with s: ' this country similar to the one now existing between his government and England. Krassin is a nathe of Siberia and was born in 1870. Ever since his JL. A?e?SS'Y youth he has been identified with revolutionary activities, and during the reign of the czar was much of the time in prison or in exile as a result of his plots against the then existing order. The outhbreak of the World war found Krassin in Petrograd as chief manager of the Russian interests of a large German engineering concern. He occupied this position until August, at which time he was elected to an official ,post with the soviet government. His connection with the Soviets began in 1917, at which time he partici pated in the Brest-Litovsk peace nego tiations with Germany. He also took part in the drawing of the commercial treaty in the capacity of financial and economic expert. Upon his return to Moscow he was elected president of th$ supreme council of national economy and of the extraordinary commission for supplying the Red army with necessities. He became people's commissioner of commerce and industry in November, 1918. On March 20, 1919, he became, in accordance with the resolution of

Answers to Questions j V i Reader Pleape tell me the distance between Mars and the Earth, and are there no nearer planets to Mars than us? How long would it take for an airplane traveling at an average speed of 1 00 miles an hour, to reach Mars? What is our atmosphere composed of and is the Earth just suspended in space? Mars is the fourth planet in order of distance from the sun, and its mean distance is 141,500,000 mile-, least distance from the Earth is 000.000 miles, as in the years 1909 and 192."5. In the order of their distance from the sun the planets of our system are: Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars, Juj,iter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. These planets arc distant from the sun as follows: Mercury JUi.000,000 miles; Venus. 67,200.000 miies; the Earth, 92,900,000 miles: Mars, 141,500,000 miles; Jupiter. 1S.,L'dO.OOO miles; Saturn. SS6.OOO.000 miles; Vranus, 1 ,7S1,90T),000 miles; Neptune, 2.79.1,600.000 miles. An airplane traveling at the rate of 100 miles an hour and going day .and night would take about forty years to reach Mars, calculating the, planet at its minimum distance from the Earth. The atmosphere surrounding the Earth is a mass or body of gases, chiefly air. History What territory was included in the Louisiana Purchase from France? When did it take place? For the Louisiana territory purchased from France in 1803 the United States gave $13,000,000. That money bought all the country lying between the Mississippi River and the crest of the Rocky Mountains. The States formed from the purchase were Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri.

PART FIVE. "Now, Watson, now! " cried Holmes with frenzied eagerness. All the demoniacal force of the man masked behind that listless manner burst out in a paroxysm of energy. He tore the drugget from the floor, and in an instant was down on his hands and knees lawing at each of the squares of wood beneath it. Qne turned sideways as he dug his nails into the edge of it. It hinged back like a lid of a box. A small black cavity opened beneath it. Holmes plunged his eager hand into it, and drew it out with a bitter snarl of anger and disappointment. It was empety. "Quick, "Watson, quick! Get it back again!" The wooden lid was replaced and the durgget had only just been drawn straight when Lestrade's voice was heard in the passage. He found Holmes leaning languidly against the mantelpiece, resigned and patient, endeavoring to conceal irrepressible yawns. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Holmes. I can see that you are bored 1o death with tbe whole affair. Well he has confessed, all right. Come in here, MacPherson. Let these gentlemen hear of your most inexcusable conduct." The big constable, very hot and penitent, sidled into the rom. "I meant no harm, sir, I'm sure. The young woman came to the door last evening mistook the house, she did. And then we got talking. It's lonesome, when you're on duty here all day." "Well, what happened then?" "She wanted to see where the crime was done had read about it in the papers, she said. "She was a very respectable, well-spoken young woman, sir, and I saw no harm in letting her have a peep. When she saw that mark on the carpet, down, she dropped to the floor, and lay as if she were dead. I ran to the back and got some water, but I could not bring her to. Then I went round the corner to the Ivy Plan for some brandy, and by the time I had brought it back the young woman had recovered and was off ashamed of herself. I dare say, and dared not face me." "How about moving that durgget?" "Well, sir, it was a bit rumpled, certainly, when I came back. You see. she fell on it and it lies on a polished floor with nothing to keep it in place. I straightened it out afterward." "It's a lesson to you that you can't deceive me, Constable MacPherson," said Lestrade, with dignity. "No doubt you thought that your breach of duty could never be discovered, and yet a mere glance at that drugget was enough to convince me that someone had been admitted to the room. It's lucky for you, my man, that nothing is missing, or you would find yourself in Queer street. I'm sorry to have Dinner Stories , A 'story is told of two colored men who were sitting on the steps of a Louisiana grocery store. "Wljat have you named your baby, Rastus?" asked one of them. "Sam Pro Ttm Johnson, sah." "What's the Pro Tem for?" "To show that the name is only temIorary. ph. We kinder thought Sam might like to choose his own name when he,-growed up, so we put in de Pro Tem as a warning to de public." Correct English Don't Say: I shall SURE be there tomorrow. I That servant does his work CONFORMABLE to orders. The child fell OFF OF the steps. I cut two. feet OFF OF it. He DON'T know NOTHING. Say: I shall CERTAINLY be there tomorrow. That servant does his work CONFORMABLY to orders. The child fell OFF the steps I cut two feet OFF it. He doesn't know ANYTHING. Declares Dreco Improved Hearing Catarrh Almost Had Him Deaf. Had Roarina. Buzzing Noises in Ears: Kept Bilious and Constipated. Claims Great Relief From Dreco. Mr. Daniel W. Hicks of 1330 East. Front St., Huntington, lnd., is 74 years old. and is a veteran of the Civil war. "I am the happiest man in the town," said Mr. Hicks, "and I ought to be. for I can now sit down and talk and hear my friend talk, when I have been almost deaf for about fifteen years, and have suffered from catarrh of the head and stomach longer than that. "My tongue was coated all the time, was biliou'-, restless, nervous and couldn't sleep. "I am now finishing my second bottle of Dreco and my tongue is clean, appetite is good; can sleep !ike a top all night ling; the dizzy spells don't trouble me and can hear as well as anyone. I am a happy man and I want you to put this in tbe paper so my friends can see it and be benefited." Dreco is made from the juices of twelve different herbs, roots, barks and leaves, which act directly on the stomach, liver, kidneys, bladder and the blood, and tends to relieve constipation, bead aches, rheumatism, catarrh,, billiousness, dizzy spells, heart fluttering, gas on the stomach and other troubles. All good 'druggists now sell Dreco, and it is being especially introduced in Richmond by Thistlethwaite's Sev en Drug Stores. Advertisement.

called you down ove'r such a petty business, Mr. Holmes, but I thought tbe point of the second stain not corresponding with the first would interest you. "Certainly, -it was most interesting. Has this woman only been here once, jconstable?" i "Yes sir, only once." "Who was she?" "Don't know her name, sir. Was answering an advertisement about typewriting, and came to the wrong number very pleasant, genteel young woman, sir." I "Tall? Handsome?" "Yes, sir, she was a well-grown young woman. I suppose you might say she was bandsdme. Perhaps somo would say she was very handsome. 'Oh, officer, do let me have a peep!' says she. She had pretty, coaxing ways, as you might say, and I thought there was no harm in letting her just put her head through the door." "How was she dressed?" "Quiet, sir a long mantle down to her feet." "What time was it?" "It was just growing dusk at the time. They were lighting the lamps as I came back with the brandy." "Very good," said Holmes. "Come, Watson, I think that we have more important work elsewhere." As we left the house, Lestrade remained in the front room, while the repentant constable opened the door to let us out. . Holmes turned on the step and held up something in his hand. The constable stared intently. "Good Lord, sir!" he cried, with amazement on his fact. Holmes put his finger on his lips, replaced his band in his breast pocket, and burst out laughing as we turned down the ! street. "Excellent!" said he. "Come, friend Watsonthe curtain rings up for the last act. You will be relieved to hear that there will be no war, that the Right Honorable Trelawney Hope will suffer no setback in his brilliant career, that the indiscreet Sovereign will receive no punishment for his in discretion, that the Prime Minister will have no European complication to deal with, and that with a little tact and management upon our part nobody will be a penny the worse for what might have been a very ugly incident." "You have solved it!" I cried. "Hardly that, Watson. There arc some points which are as dark as ever. But we have so much that it will be our own fault if we cannot get tha rest. We will go straight to Whitehall Terrace and bring the matter to a head." When we arrived at the residence of the European Secretary it was for Lady Hilda Trelawney Hope that Sherlock Holmes inquired. We were shown into the morning-room. "Mr. Holmes!" said the lady, and her face was pink with her indignation, "this is surely most unfair and ungenerous upon your part. I desired, as I have explained, to keep my visit to you a secret, lest my husband should think that I was intruding into his affairs. And yet you compromise me by coming, here and so showing that there are business relations between us." "Unfortunately, madam. I had no possible alternative. I have been commissioned to recover this inimensely important paper. I must therefore ask you, madam, to be kind enough to place it in my hands." The lady sprang to her feet, with the color all dashed in an instant from her beautiful face. Her eyes glazed I she tottered I thought that she would faint. Then with .a grand effort she rallied from the shock, and a supreme astonishment and indignation chased every other expression from her features. "You you insult me, Mr. Holmes."

"Come, come, madam, it Is useless. Give up that letter." i She darted to the bell. "Do not ring, Lady Hilda. If you do, then all my earnest efforts to avoid a scandal will be frustrated. Give up the letter and all will be set right. If you will work with me I can arrange everything. If you work against me I must expose you. She stood grandly defiant, a queenly figure, her eyes fixed upon his as if she would read his very soul. Her hand was on the bell, but she had forborne to ring it. "You are trying to frighten me. It is not a manly thing, Mr. Holmes, to come here and browbeat a woman. You say that you know something. What is it that you know?" "Pray sit down, madam. You will hurt yourself there if you fall. 1 will not speak until you sit down. Thank you." " "I give you five minutes, Mi-. Holmes." "One is enough. Lady Hilda. I know of your visit to JSduardo Luas, of your giving him this document, of your ingenious return to the room last night,

and of the manenr in which you took the letter from the hiding-place under the carpet." She stared at him with an ashen face and gulped twice before she could speak. , "You are mad, Mr. Holmes you are mad!" she cried, at last. He drew a small piece of cardboard from his pocket. It was the face of a woman cut out of a portrait. "I have carried this because 1 thought it might be useful," said he, "The policeman has recognized it." She gave a gasp and her head dropped back in the chair. "Come, Lady Hilda. You have the letter. The matter may still be adusted. I have no desire to bring trouble to you. My duty ends when I have returned the lost letter to your husband. Take my advice and be frank with me. It is your only chance." Her courage was admirable. Even now she would not own defeat. "I tell you again, Mr. Holmes, that you are under some absurd illusion.' Holmes rose from his chair. "I am sorry for you. Lady Hilda. I "Gets-It" Ends All Corns Just As Good For Calluses.
