NEW YORK. Feb. 4. (Special.)
This wtek has been run off in the
boisterous old melodramatic style.
The dead hero came to life. Trte
maniac raved In the millionaire's of
fioe. The debonnair Raffles, a flower
in his hat, robbed men and compli
merited women and bowed himself
gallantly Into the lathering; dusk.
The ghost haunted the house and
as the comic touch, skimmed a back
yard fence, one jump ahead of in
qulKltlve police. The dare-devil veers
held up 13 men In 15 minutes. And
the brave fireman, twinging by hie
feet. manoei four children and the
heroine, while the worst blizzard in

ground. Romance, adventure and mystery

The doctor totd Johnson to heat
some water and get some alcohol.
Johnson lighted a new gas heater,
dashed to the drug store, persuaded
the clerk after a 30-mlnute argument
that he wasn't going to drink the al
cohol, got the alcohol, dashed home
and found:
Aunt Marie unconscious on the din
ing room floor; Aunt Clothllde un
conscious in the hall, the doctor very
dizzy, but even more busy than he
was dizzy, and all the jets In the gas
healer going at full blast, the burn
er having been blown out.
Johnson is a man of action. He
threw open the windows, turned off
the gas, telephoned the hospital, rang
in a fire alarm and shouted for help.
Simultaneously the ambulance and
fire engines roared up to the door. A
im.menl later the doctor put his head
in the hallway and said:

GERMANS' SOLE HOPE
With Passage of Bill by Congress
Distribution Will Receive
Impetus for Economy.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Feb. 4. In
the event the bonus bill passes, the
American Legion has volunteered to
co-operate with the government in
administering the law and, through
Its organization, to effect a saving
amounting to millions of dollars in
the cost of distributing adjusted com
pensation. The 11.000 legion posts in almost
every city and township in the nation
will be placed at the disposal of the
government. Hanford MacNlder. the
commander of the legion, has pledged.
The whole legion organization will
assist In the gigantic task of getting
up machinery to carry out the terms
of the law in the payment of com
pensation to the several millions en
titled to benefits.
"With the passage of the bill, some
agency extending Into every com
munity will of necessity have to be
provided through which applications
would be received." Mr. MacNlder de
Clares. "The legion offers to take
over this job, and with the machinery
which we have already built up. carry
out the plans of the legislation. '
It is probable, according to Com
mander MacNlder, that citizens
throughout the country will volunteer
to serve without pay on local boards
or commissions, subject to the same
regulation and supervision as other
federal employes. With the comple
tion of a census of the 4.000,000 war
veterans now being taken, the legion
will have in its possession the only
accurate data on the distribution of
adjusted compensation under the five
options available.
One suggestion the government nas
received calls for a system similar
to the selective draft under which
soldiers were inducted during the war
by boards of citizens in their localities.

necessary money from Germany! I
am afraid there is no exit from this
reparations problem which hinders
the world's productive work through
any such labyrinth as this.
The treaty of Versailles is a mass
of contradictions. Article 232 de
mands damages for civilians. Annex
article 1 demands compensation for
military and naval victims. The first
Germany can give: not the second.
It is madness to Imagine that In
demnity for a whole continent after
such a war can be squeezed from a
single nation's labor.
Germany Is responsible for the
reconstruction of northern France
and for civilian losses, but provisions
for the military victims and their de
pendents for years to come ought to
be paid from an international loan in
which all the belligerents would par
ticipate, the granting of which should
depend upon two conditions dis

Ore Taken From Claims Plus That
Taken From Copper in Refining
to Run Into High Figures.
VANCOUVER, B. C. Feb. 4. (Spe
cial l Five new sliver nronertles are
I to be opened in British Columbia this
year. Plana are being perfected for
operations.
One of these properties lies close to
the claims already exporting at Mayo,
one on Portland canal, another near
Stewart, one in the interior and the
Silver Standard at Haxelton. The
sliver from these claims plus that
taken from the copper in refining.
which last year ran into millions of
dollars, will in the aggregate run to
high figures.
So far no new gold properties have
been announced, but the three mines
now operating, namely. Nugget. Surf
Inlet and Hedley. will continue to ex
port and the Premier may be oper
ated. Mining over the whole of Canada
last year, showed a reduction In value
of 22 per cent, according to figures ot
the mining department of the Cana
dian government.
The value of the Canadian mineral
production for 1921 is reported at
fl9.&52.000 against I227.S59.000 in
1920.
Toward the end of 1921 surplus of
stocks began to disappear and there
was a marked tendency to firmer
prices and a renewal of mining ac

Columbia mining Interests expect to
show an exceptionally good report
for 1922.

BT MAXIMILIAN HARDEN. '
(Copyright. 1923. oy The Oregonian.)
(How Is Germany coins' to nay the
132.0OO.0O0.OOU marks against her for
reparations when she has asked for a
moratorium on the fourth billion? Maxi
milian Harden, noted for a fearless criti
cism which has often landed him in jail,
ridicules the plan of the German a-ov-ernrment
for a forced loan. He says It
would mean the speeding up of the print
Ins presses and a new flood of paper
money. The more paper that is Issued the
lesj chance France has of collecting;.
BERLIN. Feb. 4. (Soeclal cable.)
"My country, right or wrong." This
saying has become a world menace.
It was acceptable only when the
world of separate political and eco
nomic states had little intercourse
or commerce, each of the states ar
ranging its own affairs as It pleased.
Of course, even today a certain par
tiality toward a mother country.
especially when it is in distress, is
quite natural. But in this modern
world, with states economically Inde
pendent, while It is undesirable to
suppress different folk types and at
tempt to make all In the human
flower garden resemble one another,
we must seek International under
standing and not accentuate our dif
ferences. All channels would be closed If all
patriots proclaimed It as a holy duty
blindly to defend everything their
chance governments decreed on for
eign intercourse, as a warrior would
defend his flag or a priest his chalice.
If furious patriots clash peace is
preservable only by elaborate arti
fices. Those not adhering to the
rules of the game or the blind rites
of false patriotism must be prepared
for excommunication or abuse.
German Regime Rapped.
But my own experience along this
line wiil not prevent my saying
openly that the most recent; answer
of the German government to the
reparations commission is inadequate,
like nearly all the previous action
taken in this matter.
The proposed forced loan is a sub
stitute for a reichtnotopfer, or volun
tary contribution for the nation's
distress. I have vainly called atten
tion to the voluntary contribution
fund for the "Kaiser Wilhelm me
morial city. . I wanted the nation to
remind the people of the origin of
the charity and thus combat the
monarchy.
Lnder the new scheme large and
small capitalists would be forced to
lend to the government a portion of
their property, up to a third of the
whole. But. by this plan the income
tax would be so lessened that new
paper money would have to be is
sued, increasing the inflation, since
many would be obliged to sell their
homes and mortgage their valuables
to meet the loan. The flood of paper
money would be harmless If none
of it had to cross the frontiers. But
as foreign countries already are
glutted with marks they would have
to take more on account of our needs
for provisions, raw material and for
eign bills with which to pay our
debts, money depreciation and con
sequently exchange dumping would
become an endless chain. .
Tax Would Be Shifted.
The notion that Germany's financial
misery can be abolished through
taxation is so childish as not to bear
discussion. This measure, to show
again Germany's oft-repeated "good
will to fulfill her promises," has only
one sure consequence. Every trades
man will shift the tax to his cus
tomer. Everybody must shift It to
someone or perish. Thus prices will
rise, salaries and wages be increased
and the money presses be speeded up.
The coal tax has been doubled, bread
Is 75 per cent higher. The mark,
which now purchases In Germany
about 7 pfennings' worth, has fall-en
to a value of 2 pfennigs.
Any housemaid can see how, under
such conditions, the need for paper
money must grow. Would France get
her money then? The raven would
answer "Never more." France claims
to have advanced 80 billion francs
to her people on account of the repa
ration owed by Germany and there
fore cannot balance her budget or
pay America unless Germany is kept
punctually to the schedule of pay
ments. But Germany, sentenced to pay
132 billion and now at the fourth
billion is asking for a moratorium, I
can pay only through the negotiation
of a great reparations loan. This
loan, of course, could only come from
the United States.

NEW YORK Feb. 3. (Special.)
The Central Trades and Labor coun-
cil last night instructed its executive
committee to investigate a charg
made by the painters' district council
that one of the largest mercantile
houses In the city has fixed 35 years
as the age limit for employes, and not
onlv is declining to hire persons
above that age, but is discharging
those who have passed the limit.
"They brought down an efflicency
expert from Yale or some otner col

presenting the complaint and request
of assistance signed by Thomas Mc-
Murrav. secretary of the council
"and he decreed that men above 35
should be laid off. Several of our
men were discharged.
"This rule Is applied to other de-
nartments. to women as well as men,
while the nerson unfortunate enough

"It is our understanding that other
concerns are taking up the same

The vote to Investigate and seek a

Germany Declared to Be Making
Progress Along All Lines Es
' cept That of Reparation).
BT ANDRE TARDIEU,
France's Distinguished Spokesman.
(Copyright. 1922, by The Ore'g-onlan.)
PARIS. Feb. 4. (Special Cable.)
Contradictory statements rather than
contradictory purposes have made the
past week's discussion of the Genoa
conference one of confusion. Never
theless, certain clear tendencies stand
out.
The date for the Genoa conference
approaches. One cannot guarantee
that the conference will not open at
the appointed time, but I think quite
possible it won't. Lloyd George is
much less enthusiastic about Genoa
since It was decided to postpone the
general elections in England. For
the time being he does not need an
issue.
Meantime the premier's near-eastern
conference has adjourned. There
is no explanation why. Probably the
viewpoints of Britain and France are
still too divergent. But how can the
near-eastern problem be solved apart
from all the other problems? If cer
tain nations must yield in the east
they must be compensated elsewhere.
Thorough Agreement Wanted.
In other words, as I have often in
sisted, no worth-while understanding
is possible between France and Great
Britain unless there can be an under
standing on all subjects as was re
ported In 1904 between Edward VII
and Delcasse.
At the present time It looks very
much as if the Genoa conference will
be postponed. The recent statement
of Tchitcherin, the Russian bolshevik
foreign minister, is hardly reassur
ing, and France is justified in fear
ing that the Genoa conference was
not to reconstruct "Europe, but would
forever destroy what remains of the
European peace treaties.
The United States declines the
Genoa conference, and what economic
reconstruction is possible without the
United States? If the American farm
ers cannot sell their wheat the Euro
pean situation is the principal cause.
and that's only one of hundreds of
examples.
Germany Still Evasive.
Germany has sent a rather evasive
answer to the reparations commis
sion. Chancellor Wirth announces a
financial programme eight months
late. Walter Rathenau becomes for
eign minister and thus big business
is installed at the government's sum
mit. &
But long ago somebody truly said
that sound politics was the necessary
foundation of sound business. So if
Germany, after two years, now gives
proof of a will to pay, we will be the
first to hail it. for the will to pay is
more than anything else.
France has read with Interest tti
German statistics just printed show
ing a great progress in agriculture,
mining and even railroad operation
up to the present temporary strike.
There is progress everywhere except
on the reparations paymets. So long
as this remains true France cannot
get enthusiastic.
The truth is the French people do
not comprehend what has happened
during the three months of the Wash
ington conference. The first cables
reported an immense success for the
American policy. Now we are told
the senate will combat the Washing
ton treaty more ardently than the
treaty of Versailles. We are told
that our delegation maneuvered bad
ly and produced a bad impression.
Does this explain the disagreeable
tone so many American newspapers
have adopted toward France? Our
man in the street does not believe
this and asks what is really the
truth. Europe truly is groping In
clouds of uncertainty. When will the
sun break" through?.

decided to cut down the
first chefry tree, he walked
right up to it and buried
the hatchet blade "up to

- So today, when Miller's
"Big Little Jewelry Store"
decided, for the first time
in its career, to cut down
its stock, Mr. Miller
walked right into the store
with his price-cutting
hatchet and badly "crip
pled" the selling price of
every Diamond and piece
of Jewelry in the house
and, like the cherry tree,
the stock will have to
move.
Facts are that experi
ence always has proven
February to be the dullest
month of the year in the

February Miller's "Big

not going fa sit idly by
and count the - passing
moments.
For tomorrow at "nine
bells" the" public will be
admitted to a notable
February sale Miller's
first sale of the choicest
Diamonds and Jewelry at
a price cut fully twenty
five per cent below
Miller's regular selling
prices.
Note that we said,
"below Miller's regular
prices" meaning "below
general custom," for
Miller's prices always
have been lower.- This"
applies particularly to
Miller's remounted dia
monds which he always
has bought not from the
wholesaler or importer
but in an unusual way and
at an unusual price, direct
from individuals who had
acquired them years ago
when prices were low.
Now, during this Feb

can save an additional 25
per cent if you avail your

still further evidence of our reliability.
Whether you are a large or small shipper, we can
assure you of better prices, quicker return of your
money and fairer treatment than by other methods.
We can give you the biggest returns because selling fruit at
auction cuts down sales expense and because you benefit by the
best offer we are able to get from up to an average of 300 daily
bifyers instead of from a few buyers as is customary at private
sale.
You know positively that we return to you the full price paid
for your fruits (less our small selling commission) because you
can verify the prices paid by consulting such independent publi
cations as the New York Daily Fruit Reporter. No other method
turns on the light.
And you are insured against loss-of your money due to bad
credits as our resources are ample. It is our unvarying rule to
send check for proceeds of sale within 24 hours.
For other important advantage in telling your
fruit through us, unite for further particular.
