THE LA' GRANDE EVENTNO OBSERVER " Germany Made Progress Under Sound Money Progressive Steps Taken the Past Year Indicate Eventual Normalcy; Much Money Was Borrowed. 27 YEARS AGO BERLIN (AP) The yiar 1 924 corniblf 12 months nno. w hen the tn Germany was one primarily of tlnanrlul eil nation of ho republic llimwMul adjustment.

The renlenmnik banished Hie upeetru of worthless paper money and Germany was ready to start on the hrnt year II hus had since the close of the war. There wuh lultli In t ho rerileninark: The money prllilliiK press- hud heeu slopped, and Germany wuh In line wilh na tion which hud flinhlllxi'd their ex change. Flection Il1 Mill. . The general election In May brought few changes.

Dawes plan Into effect. . i Heymour l'arker (illhert, general ngent for reparations puyments, ar rived In Merlin In November nnd the piUfm worked nut In London for iho settlement of entente repara tions claims against Germany are gradually being put Into effect. - The Kronen nvneunted seel Ions of the Ituhr nnd ol her parts of Ger many which they had Invaded In protest against Germany's failure to comply with treaty terms. This rrueuatlon came a few weeks after 1h London conference In August and helped lo clear the atmosphere Along the Ithlne. Hallways wern again able to operate moro freely th the tthlne dial riots, and workers returned to their homes. v Capital, so much needed by In dustries for the purchase of raw material, has been coming Into Ger many rnpldly since the acceptance of the Dawes plan. It is estimated In bunking circles that the United Mtati-s hus loaned a tola! of $100, 000,000 to Germany within the lost year. This includes loans to n Mu nicipalities us well as to corpora tions. Tho total amount loaned by Knglfind to Germany during J 0-4 is estimated at $ I fiO.OOO.OOO, HonchilitCHH Nwn, ' Living costs aro high and sadly out of proportion to wages. There isiuuch uneasiness and uncertnliity In industrial circles. Nevertheless there Is a hopefulness in the bear tug of tho average German not dis-lfuluro wars. hopelessly cramped, and prices In the local markets on staple urti eles stand well above world figures Loans from abroad are gradually bringing interest rales, down, but many firms with good security f re fluent ly pay from 20 to 'ii per cent a year for money. Foreign financiers have predict, ed that the 1'niled Kiaies and Kng land euch will have 1 ,11(111, OOO.tHM loaned in Germany wilhln another 12 months. All eyes are t iirncd toward I he United Htates for money, nnd the government has been compelled to take steps to prevent wildcat con cerns from negotiating loaiiH which are not In the Inter l of sound business nnd might prejudice Amer ican leaders against legitimate en terprises. , ftfii decisive step has been la'ken In Cbriiiany t It If; year about joining the League nf Nat Ions. Overtures were made throiiKh Hie Mac I Kiltabl government In KiiKlund to have Genua ivy enter t h' league, and then has been much discussion of the subject, but no concrete re sults. Friendship Increased, The flight of the Zll-H to the United Stales, mid Hie good fee.

German cities, especially Tterlln, took on renewed activity during UiM Motor traffic has increased to a marked degree. There lias been little tourist business from outside countries because of the high prices but hotels are crowded wilh Ger mans, nnd there Is a general air of hopefulness In commercial circles. The. creation of the so-called Re publican army In Germany has l been an Interesting development of tho year. This Is an organization designed to offset the monarchical forces and combat the efforts to upset tho republic. General von Schoenaich, one of the prominent leaders In this army .attracted much attention during the World I'eane Congress in licrlln this your by appearing on the' platform with General Varan x uT the French army In support of (he general strlke'oh the part of military, men to prevent Naval Experts Planning To Improve Baldeships WASHINGTON (AP) Naval engineers would hesitate today to predict what the military charac teristics will be of tho first Ameri can batlteshlps in be built In re placement under the Washington, limitation treaty, Aside from Urn fact that they will be SB per cent bigger than tho present naval Icvinthons, 't st Virginia, Colo rado and Maryland, nnd carry not larger than KMnch guns, they aro unknown quantities.

Hineo the rirst post-treaty bat tleships will he the Ilrlllsh Hnd lley and Nelson, to be completed In 1920 when four ships of the present Itrltlsh fleet of the King George V class will go to the junk man, wide interest prevails In tiavnl circles everywhere as to what their armament, speed, cruis ing radius, protection, method of propulsion or other characteristics will prove to be.. Little Is known renerally as to the llrlttsh plans, developed since tho Washington conference. But no naval officer Is likely to forret that the dreadnnught. first ftU-hlg-gun ship to bo built, vir tually rendered obsolete every ex isting pre-drendmtught battleship of any navy. Nothing then afloat could compete with her on any thing approaching equal terms, and tho feverish building of dread naughts on both sldea of the At lantic began. American navnt designers are storing away information on which plans for their own new ships will M baiwd. Kxperlnients Incidental to the sinking of the hull of what was to have been the battleship Washington were cunCmtnl r,.r this purpose, to a large extent, and much valuable data resulted. Kor one think, navy experts wanted to know just how wl iv they had plunned the increased dck protection of the WahtnKton doss of ships. It has not been revenle.i d. rintt. Iv whether ihe Washington deck armor withstood high angle fire, but Hecrctury . bur announced (tt the time that re sults of the experiments had justi fied expectation. That th new Ilrttlsh ships will have ample d'k protection a well us a nw type of U-lnrh Hiui more powerful than any yet tiflont In any navy, It taken tin a foregone rsnclualen, TUvy wilt bt th tt product of tho post war years of study by Itrltlsh experts of bitter war experience with fighting ships. It is to be expected, therefore. In Ihe Judgment of naval experts, that they will outclass even the West Virginia class in tho American navy by a margin beyond that of their 2ft per cent larger size. Hlxe alone would permit their carrying heavier armament, prob ably allowing them lo carry twelve UMneh guns each lis ngainat the eight gun batteries of the Ameri can first line trio, nnd the Itrltlsh guns, gun for gun, will be better because of Hewer .rcsignf' -phut would mean at the very lea;.

They are continually hurling rhetoric, proverbs, poetical quotations at each other. Of coui'se, there are many opportunities for speechmaking, but they enjoy it most while engaged in buying and selling. No matter how simple and staple the article may be, fifteen minutes is the least that can be taken over a transaction. And then it has been greatly hurried! Just imagine if we had to bargain for fifteen minutes over everything we bought. Yet not so very long ago, every pur chase was a matter' of bargaining. It is thanks to advertising that it is no longer so today. We sometimes forget how important advertising is. We do not realize all it is doing for us. Yet, if it had achieved nothing more than to do away with bargaining, it would be a boon to mankind. But it does more. It puts purchasing on a business basis. It protects you against fraud and inferiority. You can plan your shopping according to your pocketbook, and not according to the patience and bargaining ability of everyone you will have to face. When you think it over you must real ize that it pays to read the advertisements. THOSE WHO READ WISELY HEAD ADVERTISING. r ? ? ? X X t t y i 1 T T t T t J f r ? ? j t t. ? ? ? Y X Y ? V 5.
