It is true that Germany was our foe, and that we are still technically at war -with her, even though last week we celebrated Armistice Day as the first anniversary of the real ending of the war.

But there is another side to the problem, from which Germany's thrift, Germany's industry and Germany's promise of commercial rehabilitation are greatly to be rejoiced at. By the terms of the peace treaty, which Germany signed, and which is now in effect in every great allied country except the United States, Germany is a debtor nation. She has a huge war bill on the prompt payment of which weakened France depends for future existence. France sorely needs her indemnity from Germany, and Belgium will mark time until the work of restoration has been carried out by the German nation.

This huge debt, which Germany "must pay, cannot be paidljy a nation that is down and out, commercially and industrially. The men who owe the money are the men you are anxious to see prosper. Germany owes the allies a huge sum. They must do what they can to see that she prospers. By the very terms of the View of National Problems mrwn timnirvtn By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Consequently, the news that Germany is at work; that she is producing vast quantities of goods that she is about to take her rightful place in international commerce, is good news for the allied world, particularly France and Belgium. The future prosperity of Germany means the future prosperity and welfare of the world. Germany is the world's principal debtor. The allied world is her creditor. If the allied world is to remain' prosperous, if this huge war debt is to be liquidated, Germany must prosper.

"As we pulled near the sailing Teasel I decided it would give the natives a surprise if we came up to them underaterr and "bobbed lip in their midst before they; knew, that we were anywhere in the world. So- we closed the top of the' submarine and down we went. Jnst. 'the -little periscope stuck above the water; We ran.

along until we had slipped fir between-the fleet of little canoes which held the' natives and the sailing vessel. Then we stopped the submarine. As it came above the surface, half a dozen of us piled out and took -places at. the small guns on the undersea' boat's deck. Before you could say Jack Robinson, we were firing over the heads of the natives.

They didn't try to fire their bows and arrows at us. Some of them turned their canoes around as quick aa they could and paddled pellmell for the snore. Others didn't take the time to turn their canoes around. They just jumped into the water and' swam, for the shore. Some of them must broken records, the way they swam.

"When the men on the sailing vessel saw us they were surprised, too, and happy. "While we were firing at the natives the sailors were cheering and yelling at a great rate. When the last of the natives 'had reached the beach we ran the submarine over to the little ship and climbed up onto its deck. Then we found out what bad caused the trouble. 'The sailboat had stopped along the1 shore of the island to collect coral.

What Is coral? Well. it's a hard substance of many colors that's found on the ocean bottom along the shores of some islands. That's about as near as I can tell you. The coral need to make necklaces, earrinn. bracelets, and all sorts of ornaments.

"When tne crew of the boat climb ed into rowboats, rowed near the shore and began dmng down into the water to get the coral the cannibals became angry. They never had seen anyone hunt for coral before and didn't know -Our Dally Special, Not Telling, is Often Better Than Telling The; Truth.

If there be a Power which concerns itself with the daily affairs of men, making "all things work together for good," it would appear that that Power had turned the unpromising strike injunction, with all its possibilities for social disaster, into an unmixed blessing.

While union men, both in and out of the miners' organization, still feel that they were wronged by the use of the power of injunction, it is undoubtedly true that both the miners and the general public will benefit greatly by Judge Anderson's action. The miners themselves may not have realized it, but it is certain that they had allowed their case to get into such a light before the country that public sentiment was strongly against the strike. Such a condition would have made it impossible for them to win it. No great strike can be won without the backing of the public. When Judge Anderson issued his celebrated mandate, he gave to the miners an incidental opportunity to regain their lost prestige, which "Boss" Lewis was quick to recognize.

And his ringing statement, "But we are Americans," in which he accepted the mandate, with all its bitter disappointment for himself and his associates, changed in one instant the whole temper of the American public. The miners now go into conference backed by a public sentiment that desires to see them win such of their demands as are fair and right. It is certain that conditions will be greatly improved, so far as the miners are concerned, both as to hours of work and scale of pay. what the crew was collecting, but they saw the men hauling something away in the rowboats and decided that the men were robbers. So the natives had tacked the sailors.

When the sailors saw the natives piling into their canoes, carrying big shields and bows and arrows, the sailors hurriedly rowed back to the big ship. They would have sailed away.before the natives had time to trou Me them but the wind had died down so completely that there wasn't enough air stirring to move the boat. So the sailors knew that their only hope was to drive, the. natives away with two small cannon the ship carried. The sailors knew, little about firing the guns and the guns themselves were old and rusty, so they were having a time.

The natives were swarming closer and closer to the boat when we bobbed up. "We remained with the little sailing vessel until the wind came up enough to carry them away from the island. Then we headed again for Japan and finally got there." (ropyright, 1919.) 7 WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY SAME OLD "GAY PAREE."

Washington's Washington, Nov. 18. Presidential politics keeps on gathering momentum as the candidates, would-be-candidates and their friends and boosters in this vicinity begin working above and below the surface toward the goal of 1920. But the fact that is bulking larger daily is the uncertainty that the fight will be between the Democratic and Republican parties as such. Other factors, possibly an independent ticket are no longer scouted as purely theoretical.

There is evidence that the waves of opinion that are wafted hither from the country over arc not so solidly for the Republican or Democratic parties but are beginning to wonder if both have not outlived their usefulness. Campaigns begun by such publication of as wide circulation as the Saturday Evening Post for an independent candidate have attracted the attention of the politicians and the demand for a business executive though not neces sarily a representative of big business is beine interpreted by friends of the various candidates as exactly the thing which their respective idols are qualified to do. 1 No small part of the movement for an independent candidate and a man with business sense to manage an institution like the government of the United States comes from friends of Herbert Hoover, former food administrator. And the manner in which the suggestion is being acclaimed indicates that when the candidates are sifted and chosen, the name of Hoover will re main. Friendliness to Hoover is to be found in both the ranks of the Democrats and Republicansi not the party politicians but the independents or progressives in each party.

Mr. Hoover so far as known isn't particularly a Republican or Democrat. From the fact that he is a mining engineer and man of huge enterprises, Republicans assume that he must be of their party and must share their party viewpoint on domestic affairs. From the fact that Mr. Hoover didn't hesitate to support the President ap peal for a Democratic Congress last autumn end that he didn't hesitate to say outspokenly that he favored the league of nations, the Democrats have derived considerable satisfaction.

Some Democrats friendly to Mr. Hoover think that even if be were nominated on an independent ticket he might get the in dorsement of the Democratic party. But this as well as the general tendency at present to pick a man irrespective of what the issues may be later Who's Who in tne Days' News FRANCISCO DE LA BARRA. Francisco de la Barra, president of Mexico during the period following the abdication of Porfirio Diaz and the installation of Francisco I. Madero, is looming large as a presidential possibility to succeed President Carranza.

De la Barra has a strong following Mexico today among the Cientifico party-the faction that wants to see the Carranza constitution of 1917 overthrown and the old Juarez constitution of restored. He is not a military man. It is said that De la Barra met Colonel House in Paris last summer. Since his return from the French capital he has pent much of his time between Washington and New York. Felix Diaz, who now controls parts of Southern Mexico, is arranging for a conference with De la Barra and they p.pg jx FERRA probably will meet in Cuba.

Francisco de la Barra is a dapper little man, with all the courtly "ele-gancias" of the Latin-American aristocracy. His father was a Chilean, but Don Francisco was born in Mexico. This was in 1S63. He married in succession two daughters of one of the rich Mexican fimilies. Through wealth and social influence, rather than by any striking force of character, De la Barra rose in politics.

He served in the Mexican congress from 18D1 to 18UG. During the next 10 years he de- voted his attention to the negotiation A Special a Judge Anderson mandate only reveals the general similarity of the Republican and Democratic parties. The party platforms exhibit little difference, and the opportunity for an independent to make a campaign on the accumulated defects of both the old parties is not denied. Mr. Hoover friends base their high hopes on the fact that he knows the subject of food and the cost of living from to and that with women voting in 1920, the judgment of the housewife will be factor of vital importance Hut the enmoaum so far as any of the sharps can forecast at present will not merely involve a program for the re miction of the cost of lmng but a knowl edge on the part of the candidate of the tremendous economic problems with which the country is confronted today and will be wrestling with in the next few years of reconstruction.

Just now some of the politicians think radical ism and the stamping out of Bolshevik tendencies will furnish the issue. But both the Democratic administration and the Republican Congress are at one on that score. If one were asked to assess the -opinion that comes this way from all parts of the country, there would be little doubt in my mind that the dissatisfac tion of the country with the wasted time in Congress and the failure of the uepublicans to deal constructively witn some of the big questions of the day that have demanded settlement such as a more equitable system of taxation and an equitable adjustment of the railroad problem would be found to be equalled only by a parallel disappointment at the lack of efficiency in the executive departments of the government ruled by the Democrats. For- years the Republicans taunted the Democrats with the cry that the lat ter were inefficient but the Republi cans memseives the session of Con gress that is to come to an end this month have used up many months of time and produced no constructive pro gram of legislation. The House has had quarrels among the leaders and has been waiting on the Senate where ili rect or indirect efforts to kill the peace treaty nave occupied the Republican majority until there is today a good chance that all th work of thn sion may result in a failure to get the status of our foreign relations defined at ail.

Nevertheless in the face of the obvious failures by both the Republicans and Democrats, who have been playing politics most of the time in disregard of me country demand tor efficiency of treaties, a commercial nact with Holland and nn extradition treaty with Italy being his conspicuous achieve ments. In 1900 he represented Mexico at The Hague peace conference. The year following he was made minister to tne Boutn American republics along tin; Atlantic. In he was made minister to Holland and Belgium. He was in that post when he became ambassador to the United States early in 1009.

When Madero began his revolution, 20, 1910, De la Barra's position became one of extreme importance. Four months later President Diaz called him home to tnke the portfolio of foreign affairs. It was on May 26, 1011, thnt De la Barra became provisional president on the downfall of after Madero's election on October 1, 1911, to the presidency, De la Barra went to Europe, representing his country for a year and a half in Italy and France. Since Madero's death in 1913 De la Barra has not ligured greatly in Mexican politics. GOOD BYE, "REDS."

people expected to be done in tnese critical days of reconstruction, the booms are being launched with regular ity. Many are the candidates for the presidency inside and outside or von- gresa. Uertam men may be said to Be in ine lead at this moment which of course may be changed altogether by convention time. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer and W.

G. McAdoo, former sec retary of the treasury and director gen eral of railroads, are nip and tuck: in the race for the Democratic nomination, with the Kossin favoring the attorney general jnst now because of the forceful and uncompromising manner in which he has handled the coal strike situation. For the Republican nomination Major General Leonard Wood and Governor Frank Lowden- of Illinois appear to be riding on the top of the waves of Republican politics just now. Senator Hiram Johnson is carefully watching the opportunities for an independent ticket, too, and he is said to be of the belief that the West would support an independent next time. Certainly an independent candidate would have more to denounce than would a Republican; or Democrat for be would be able to expose the flaws in each of the two parties and argue that there is very little difference in principle between them and only a great similarity in purpose in both, namely, a desire on the part of "Ins" to stay in and "Outs" to get in.

Last and by no means least is the quiet discussion of what labor plans to do in the next campaign. Unquestionably the labor leader are considering the formation of a party similar to the British Labor party. The prospect that the Republicans and Democratic parties may produce conservative platforms while the Labor party might espouse a fairly radical program and that an independent ticket might introduce a middle ground of liberalism that recognizes facts and, not theories is being commented upon every day by foreign- observers who believe America's post-war experience with political parties is not going to be essentially different from the experiences of England and France. The tendency judged by signs thus far is surely toward a number of political parties not merely the traditional pair that have fought it out every fjiur years heretofore. The campaign if til20 will eclipse that of 1016 in uncertainty, complexity and the distribution of sectional class and support.

THE REASON WHY From the Book of Wonders. Published and Copyrighted by ths Bureau of Industrial Education, Washington, D. C. What Makes a Cold Glass Crack It We Put Hot Water into It? Hot water wiU not always cause a cold glass to crack, but is very apt to, especially a thick glass. The very thin glasses will not crack.

The test tubes used by chemists are made of very thin glass, and will not crack when hot liquids are poured into them. When glass cracks after you have poured a hot: liquid into it. it does so because, as soon as the hot liquid is put- in, the particles of glass which form the inside of the glass become heated and expand. They begin to do this before the particles which form the outside of the glass become heated, and in their efforts to expand the inside particles of glass literally break away from the particles which form the outside, causing the crack. The same thing happens if you put cold water into a hot glass, excepting in this instance the inside particles of the glass contract-before the particles which form the outside of the glass have had time to become cool and do likewise.

Is There a Man in the Moon The markings which we see on the face of the moon when it is full can by a stretch of the imagination be said to form the face of a man. On some nights this face appears to be quite distinct If, however, we look at the moon through a telescope, we see distinctly that it is not the face of a man. Through a very large telescope we can see very plainly that the marks are mountains and craters of extinct volcanoes. It just happens that these marks on the moon, aided by the reflections of the light from the sun, which gives the moon an the light it has, makes a combination that looks it gave them an opportunity to show their true Americanism and win back public sentiment. It paved the way for a justment of conditions that will meet their needs.

And it saved both the miners and the general public from all the suffering involved in a coal strike in winter. Which sounds like all things had work together for good. LITTLE ROCK CONTRACTORS ACT WISELY. In turning down a proposition made Friday night by a rep resentative of the National Contractors' Association to agree to add to their bids a sum sufficient to pay all bidders on any particular job for the time consumed in making estimates on lyMr.Thrifty Mechanics 4 to base their bids, Little Rock contractors acted most From the standpoint of the general public a more objectionable proposition could scarcely have been suggested. To ask the prospective builder to pay all the bidders on his job for the time spent by them in making estimates, pushed to its logical conclusion would mean a young army of contractors making their living through the preparation of estimates and the sub-2 mission of bids on every proposed job.

Such a tax on the would soon bring building operations to an absolute standstill. Little Rock contractors are to be congratulated on their prompt rejection of such a proposition.
