Armistice Day and Germany (Chieago Tribune) The German jingzes have been raising a rumpus ever the fact that the German ambassador at Wash-| ington ri the German flag at the embassy on Armistice They say it showed lack of dignity and loyalty. Foreign Minister Stresemann, reply- ing in the reichstag, blew the irate critics out of the water. He pointed out that Armistice day in this country is not a celebration of yictory over a fee, but a commemoration of our dead. In this he did justice to the American spirit, which has ro disposition to gloat over German de- feat or to tarnish a sacred memory with rancor. The American people have always been magnanimous in victory. They made peace with Germany and wish | to perpetuate it, healing the wounds of the past, and cherishing nothing but goodwill to theif new sister republic and her citizens. We see no reasen why the representative of that republic should not show respect for our day cf honorable pride and sacred tion itself has reason to.share in those emotions. _ Herr Stresemann’s rebuke ta. bellicose national- ism revealed a fine understanding of the signifi- cance for us of Armistice day and will be appre- ciated by America, } e had none of the big robberies \t for lignite and bituminous| ” ssful, two pressing Ameri-|* 'y, however, will do. well to defer its).

It has been running steadily for more than a year, though the cast has been changed many times due to the es- cape of fleas and death or age of performers. Whereas Abie gets only nightly audiences, with occasional matinees, the performing fleas come on with a show every few hours during the rush hours and, it is safe to say. that they have a drawing record that few of the famous Broadway stars can boast. The fleas attract thousands of “repeaters” who have found it hard to believe upon a first visit that fleas actually have been trained to stunts, ineluding draw- ing tiny vehicles.

A. A. Estimates Washington, D. C., Dec. 13—The thirty-six states in the snow belt will save millions of dollars this winter, if they keep the main arteries of vehicular travel open and clear of snow, a statement issued by the American Automobile Association to- day declared. The national motoring body urged all states in the snow zone to adop: a definite program of snow removal not only in the interests of economy, | but as a vital factor in the contin- uation of food distribution and of social communication, also as an aid to the maintenance of the educational system intact throughout the winter. Basing its estimates on expansion of snow removal in former winters, the A. A. A. calculated that approxi- mately 116,000 miles of highway in the nation would be kept free of snow this year. Last year, the figure stood at 93,000 miles. The yearly in- crease is approximately 25 per cent. Cost Is Figured The cost of clearing these 93,000 miles was placed at $3,575,6 The A. A. A. estimated that every $100) spent in'snow removal yields $1,000 in more efficient transportation and | business continuity. On the basis of | these figures the communities which keep their streets and highways clear | this year will spend approximately $1,450,000 from which they will reap economic benefit of approximately $10,000,000, “These figures are not far wide of the mark,” said the A. A. A. state- ment, “and they demonstrate the very great value of snow removal to com- merce alone. Thirty-five of the 36 states in the snow belt remove snow, but many of them fall far short of adequate, thorough refhoval. There are more than 300,000 miles of sur- faced rural highways in these states, yet the snow will be cleared from not more than a third of this mileage. If). jthe saving for a third is $40,000,000, obviously it would be somewhere near $120,000,000 ‘for the entire area. If now removal was thorough, the sav- ing would be even greater. “In June, 1926, there were 15,000, 000 motor vehicles registered in these states — three-fourths of the This great grouping of motor cars reveals that millions in the snow belt find it ex- pedient to use the highways through- | out the year. With so many vehicles in ‘operation, so many varied aims and objects dependent upon the highways in this snow area, it is inevitable that every community must face heavy economic loss each day that its high- ways are closed.” Urges Definite Program The A. A. A. urges that every state in, the snow belt adopt a definite program of snow removal, and offers for the benefit of snow states a col- lected mass of charts and plans for keeping the roads open, which has been compiled after exhaustive study of snow conditions. “Far too many states and cities still lag behind in preparedness for snow removal,” the A. A. A. said. ‘The result is transportation tie-ups, interference with winter motoring, unnecessary damage to streets, the dcpopulating of schools, the isolation of thousands of families in rural homes, the loss and deflection of busi- ness, ahd quite often the serious cur- tailing of fod distribtution. “Thrée years ago, Washington, D. C., suffered a loss of $1,000,000 as the result of being unprepared for snow, although Washington is not in| © the extreme snow belt. New York City alone sustained a loss of $60,000,- 000 in 1920 in one storm. What hap- pened in those two cities, happens every winter in’ other unprepared communities. “Snow removal will pay for itself alone in the preservation of the streets and highways. Everything aside from that is ‘velvet’.
