PARIS, March 19. (Special Cable.) Even a casual reading of the Ger man newspapers, and especially the reports ot debates in the parliament this week, shows most clearly that the whole German foreign and economic policies are dominated by Internal politics. There is an apparent effort to escape party action in dealing- with the situation which confronts Ger many as a result of the allied occu pation of the Rhineland. Their responsibility is such as to make one wonder what Is to be ex pected from a nation who signs to day and retracts tomorrow. How are treaties possible when sincerity is ut terly lacking? What is happening In Germany to day is an unprecedented scandal, and America, despite her distance from the scene, should realize this fully. Traveling through Germany, one eees on every hand what might be termed oncurbed activity. This is the activ ity which has caused Foreign Min ister Simons to speak of an "un healthy prosperity" for Germany. Kaeape From Penalties Hope. Germany hopes to escape some of the penalties of the war by ruining the state and enrichening the Indi vidual. Thus, while all other coun tries have raised railroad fares, Ger many maintains the old rates, and is creating an enormous deficit, made worse by the excessive transportation of petty army officers. Prosperity is growing in Germany, but the state declares itself bank rupt. In the face of this declaration, the allies are not permitted to exam ine either the national budget or in dividual Incomes. The result is we are in danger of being balked. Meanwhile France, an innocent vic tim of the war, with so much of her finest regions annihilated, must pay all charges on her debts. And yet there are some people apparently foolish enough or wicked enough to call France imperialistic. Bo much for the politicians who are directing the destinies of Germany. As for the German people, is It not true that the entry of the allies' soldiers Into the Rhineland was ac complished without the firing of a shot, or the utterance of a protest? On the contrary, Dusseldorf workmen came and paid their respects to the allied military authorities in these se.rious words which deserve serious consideration: "We do not consider you as enemies but as creditors." Financiers' Claims Contradicted. This measured language, which co incides with the facts, is a sharp con tradiction of the attitude of certain lords of German finance and German industry. It should also make it clear to the world that there are people in Germany in favor of com pleting treaty obligations. Moreover, this fact was called to the attention of the reichstag the other day by Mr. Miller, the ex-chancellor, who "re vealed" to Jiis compatriots the fact that they had been conquered. What a great gain it will be for the peace of the world when the day comes that Germany, without knuck ling to anyone, without placing about her own neck the rope with which she would have hanged us if she had been victorious, simply recognizes the elemental truth that she was defeat ed in the war. The world should understand that we did not send troops temporarily to occupy the 'Rhine cities from pure lightness of heart. Nor did we seek the satisfaction of a military prom enade, a promenade too easy to war rant being bragged about. Surely no one Imagines that after a long war, in which France revealed her strength and courage before armed Germans, we would take any pleasure out of parading before unarmed Germans, Occupation Declared Temporary. We are occupying the Rhine cities temporar'ly. We will not annex any territory. It Is not our habit, after signing a treaty, to withdraw our signature. As the Dusseldorf work meu said, we are creditors paying a visit to our debtors because the debtor refuses to come and visit us. Under military protection we have established certain economic sanc tions, the first of which was provided for in the treaty Germany signed. A tariff barrier has been erected on the Rhine, the Rhineland being cut off from all economic communication. Thus we are seeking to make certain collections through a tax on coal or by the sale of the coal Itself. We are sorry we were forced to compulsion, but for many months Germany devastated our territory, de stroying at least 100,000 houses. What this means to France must be realized from the fact that there are but 85. 000 houses In all of Paris. Now Germany must pay, or at least must begin paying. No honest man, faced wth a volun tarily bankrupt creditor, and forced to choose as to which one should suf fer, would hesitate to resort to the compulsion provided for In the con tract between them.

It 506, Oregonian Dispatch' From Helslnsfora Is Printed by Finish Paper at Columbia River Port. ASTORIA, Or., March 19. (Spe cial.) A dispatch from Helstngfors, Finland, carried In the Toveri, a local Finnish daily, said that Santori Nuorteva, lormerly of Astoria, will be sent by the soviet government of Russia as "ambassador" to the United States, succeeding Ludwig C. A. K. Martens, who was deported recently following official investigation of bis activities in this country. Nuorteva Is widely known in this city, having been editor of the Toveri from 1911 to 1914. Since leaving Astoria In the first year of the war his wanderings and duties have been wide and nu merous. . Until recently he conducted the bureau In New York and was secre tary to "Ambassador" Martens during that representative's stormy stay in this country and when his undertak ings were proving obnoxious to the United States government. Nuorteva was one of the witnesses at the in vestigation in Washington last fall which terminated In the deportation of Martens, and It was during the progress of this probe that Nuorteva escaped from this country to Canada, when he made his way to England. After a rather brief stay In that coun try he was deported aboard a British destroyer to Finland. Since that time he has held under the government of Lenine the post of chief of the Rus sian foreign commissary of northern Europe, conducting affairs of the red government in western Europe and America. Nothing Is known in this city of the time when Nuorteva will take up "his office" in this country. He is known here as a well-educated man, speaking five languages. County Fair Dates Resrt. EUGENE.

Mrs. TVindt, on Stand, Collapses As She Is Forced to Tell of Fireside Scenes. BT ROBERT C. BENCHLET. (Copyright, 1921, by The Oregonlan.) NEW YORK,' March 19. (Special.) There seems to be a lot of family trouble lately. Columns in the news papers which used to be given over to good, clean boundary disputes and soviet atrocities are now being de-1 voted to chronicling the int'mate de tails of the uneasy family life of prominent citizens. ' Just at present the public is eagerly devouring the dispatches which con tain accounts of home minutiae in the Stillman, Hamon and Stokes house holds, but public taste is tickle. If the divorce wave keeps up, stories of marital unpleasantness will lose their tang. The only really big newspaper story will be when a family is dis covered, which is living along In the legal way, with no foreign entangle ments, no shootings, no excitement at all. The discovery of such a family will soon be grounds for sending a re porter up to the house, with an artist to make sketches. It might even call for an investigation, for, according to present standards, a man and his wife who are living quietly together must be up to some mischief. Home Scenario Pictured. The accounts of such an investiga tion probably will make as novel reading for the public then as those of our divorce trials do now. "Mrs. Windt was next called to the stand. She wore a simple blue golng away dress and carried a paper bag of macaroons. ' 'When was the last time you saw your husband?' she was asked. "This morning." " "What did you say to him as he left you?' "'I asked him when on earth he was going to get him a new derby.' " 'And what did your husband say to that, Mrs. Windtr " 'He said that he didn't need one, that the one he had on was plenty good enough.' . " 'And then what did you do? "'I kissed him Just above his eye.' " Tou kissed your husband, eh? Ton are quite sure? Remember, Mrs. Windt, this may be used against you.' " Sure, She Was Helped From Stand. Here Mrs. Windt collapsed and had to be helped from the stand. The next witness was Annie Wasson, an old family retainer in the Windt household. "How long have you been working at Ridiculously Low Prices Many dealers, collectors and house furnishers have taken advantage of this sale. Why not avail yourself of this opportunity ?

Come early. AT Y H R O Corner Alder and Tenth Sts, for Mrs. Windt?" she was asked. "For four months." "Did you ever during that time hear Mr Windt speak a cross word to his wife?" "Yes. ma'am, yes, sir. He said, 'Is that so?" " "Is that the only time he ever lost his temper?" "Yes. except one time when he stepped on the baby's train of cars In his bare feet." "What did he say on that occasion?" "He said:. 'My. my, that's a pity!"' "Did Mr. Windt, to your knowledge, ever go out with another woman than his wife?" "No. sir." "At what time was It customary for the Windts to retire?" Here Plot Grows Thicker. . "Well, along about 9:30 Mr. Windt would go -to sleep in his chair until his head fell on the table. Then Mrs. Windt would say, 'Why don't you go to bed if you're so sleepy?" and he would say, 'I'm not sleepy. I was just thinking.' Then he will start to read something aloud to her from his paper and when he was half way through he would say: 'What's the idea of go ing to sleep while I'm reading you a funny story?' and she would say, 'I was not asleep, I just had my eyes closed because the light hurts them. I can tell you everything you read.' Then they would pick up the papers, go out in the kitchen and eat some crackers and go to bed about 10." Such an account will soon be news, and if the peculiar family happens to live in a small town, visiting news paper correspondents will begin their dispatches: "This little village, nest ling in the foothills of the Ramapo mountains, is all astir tonight over the discovery of a family In its midst which has an unbroken record of 15 years of faithful and unsensational union." A Detroit, Mich.,, judge has decided that if a small boy sticks his finger through a crack in the fence and loses the digit when the dog snaps it off, the owner of the dog is not liable to damages.
