Germany and World Trade
Charles Schwab has made a somewhat exhaustive study of
J industrial and economic conditions in Europe. When Mr. Schwab
i says that Germany stands to win the war as far as dollars are
concerned, his judgment is worth consideration.
In an address in New York City, Mi: Schwab told his audience
,: that "Germany stands an excellent chance, through her efficient
-and willing labor, to win the fruits of the war unless the allied
: nations 'ire able, through -co-operation, to bring production costs
down to a minimum."
When the German mark had dropped to one-half its pre-war
value, economists naturally predicted that the government would
be wrecked by the unrestricted inflation of the currency. The
mark is practically worthless in international calculation, and the
predictions of disaster have not been realized:
Mr. Schwab believes that the United States and Great Britain,
as the two leading industrial nations of the world, should co-operate
in a movement that would conserve the industrial values which
have been fostered by these nations, unci ho1 declared that he would
not be a party to cut-throat competition with Great Britain, which
would only result in advantage to Germany.
There are indications that German workers in their loyalty to
the fatherland, are willing to accept practically the conditions of
the serf in order to enable Germany to command again the mar
kets of the world in manufactured products. It is for the allies,
' Including the United States, to say whether or not this policy shall
actually win the .war from an industrial standpoint.

Encouraging Walking
A commendable movement has lieen started in Kansas City by
' ' an organization calling itself the Heart of America Walking Club,
" ' which huriibors among its members such distinguished persons as
Trnsideiit Harding, Chief Justice Taft, Marshal Koch, Secretary of
State Hughes, General Wood, Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Theodore Koosevelt, William J. Bryan, Sir Harry Lauder, Lady
Astor and Senator Jliiam W. Johnson. lis purpose is to stimulate
walking for health and recreation. The members are expected to
walk at least two. miles every day in the open, and the steps tsiki:

, The average person has need of such exercise as this. Ameri
cans are becoming a race of riders. The automobile or the street
car is used constantly for little trips that would better be made
afoot. There are other forms of muscular exercise which are more
beneficial than walking for persons lcudiug.sudeiitary liyes... Thos.e,
who sit at desks all day will get the greatest benefit from bendiirg
movements which exercise the muscles of the trunk. The setting-
up drill practiced in the army k. excellent. Pitching horseshoes is
to be recommended. Bowling is good. The fact is, however, that
many persons, though in need of exercise, cannot be induced to;
take up these activities, while they would not be averse to walking !
if properly encouraged. The Heart of America Walking Club aims
to furnish the needed encouragement. It conducts hiking parties
and publishes inspiring literature dealing with walking.
Walking, of course, has other attractions besides the improve
ment of the health. Only by going afoot can one enjoy nature to
the full and make the acquaintance of the birds and flowers.

Alaska Prospering
A report which luis just Itei-n issued by the clppiivtmr-nl of tin
interior conceniiiijr the coinmeiep of AlnsUn is of more Hum usiiiu
"interest because it shows that the territory is developing in much
the sumo wny as Ciilil'ornia did. Cold was the magnet which drew ,
the firet settlers to Alaska, just as it was in the case of California.
When the jfold mines petered out there was an eodus of people
from both. Then came the development of other resources, which
ignored by the lirst arrivals, were found to be even more valuable
than the deposits of the precious metal.
Alaska still has much uld. Mut it is significant that the in
crease in the mining output of Ihe territory last year over that of '
. l'JUl was due primarily to heavy production of copper.
The fisheries of the territory come in for special notice in the
report. It has vast aivas of virgin forest and conservative cutting
has now been started. Coal is another resource as yet undeveloped, i
and the agricultural possibilities of the territory are not to be
despised. ' !
Alaska is nrnsnnrino- now. hit! there is evei-v rensiin 1'nr hnliiv-
ing that her present volume of commerce will seem small in com-'l
parison with the trade that she will enjoy a comparatively few
veal's hence.

We ovcrheaid a conversation between two life insurance men.
not I.a Crande agents, but two of those who come to town occas
ionally. They were talking about business yesterday afternoon
and one remarked to the other lhat the fanners were out of the
game and there was no use to call on litem for business.
The woist thing nliout this conversation is that it is almost
true. Hut, when the fanner is out of the game, how long can oth
er lines of business pinsiier'.' How can it lie possible to continue
without men who woik the soil piospt ring? It is a hard problem.
