'RENTENMARK PROVES BIG AID IN GERMANY | Creation and Stabilization Is Rare Triumph of Financial 1 Genius. INFLATION IS IMPOSSIBLE Neither Liquid Nor Suitable for Foreign Currency. BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. B¥ Radio fo The Star and_ Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1924 BERLIN, May 15.—Creation itabilization of the rentenmark is a rare triumph of finameial genius, auite naturally claimed by all who nad ind in the business. But it must not be thought that the renten- mark has replaced the paper mark. Theoreticall the rentemmark is not “uon»” at all, It is a kind of m(:irl- zage receipt. The official German arrency still is the paper mark. it take four trillion two hundred billion paper marks to equal a dollar.

Marshlands, ponds and lakes ve been literally covered with the waterfowl for the last month, and ihey are very tame. On a wheat field near Jamestown recently travelers ftopped thefr cars within 125 yards of a flock of geese which numbered “bout 300 and the birds fed on, un- Tnindful of spectators. There were snow geese, {'anada geese and gray brant in the flock, besides blue cranes apu various kinds of wild ducks. His Sympathy Located. From the Houston Post.

Hawaiian Government Plans to Use Product of Kilanea Crater. From the New York Times. The problem of utilizing volcanie steam ‘in industry has been well worked out by the Italian engineers, and it we ever tackle the job in the Yellowstone Park we shall.enjoy the benefit of the lessons they have learn- ed. Apparently the conditions to be met are similar; but in the Yellow- stone the available supply of steam is incomparably greater. so that the “puffing holes” of the Tuscany seem relatively insignificant. Boring for steam has been golng on for more than a year near the crater of Kilauea, on the island of Hawaii, but the rock is basalt and extremely hard, so that the drills have not yet penetrated very far. It is said that the scheme in that locality does not promise very well. But the Hawailan government has consulted the De- partment of Commerce about a plan, seemingly practicable, for making bricks of molten lava from the Kilauea crater. It is proposed to ex tend a trolley across the crater, carry- ing an endless chain of buckets, which would scoop up the liquid lava,fetch it to the rim of the fiery hole, and pour it into the mold: > We have a live volcano of our own in Northern California, called Lassen Peak. Its latest important eruption began in 1914, and it has been more or less active ever since. The moun- tain is nearly two miles high, and there enough fire inside it to run the machinery of all the factories in this country. FIGHT AGAINST WAR GROWS IN CHURCHES Three Great Denominations Split by Militant Issue of Peace at Any Price. PACIFISTS NOW IN THE LEAD Methodists, Presbyterians and Bap- tists Face Question. By Consolidated Mresm. CHICAGO, May 17.—War—whether | it should be condoned under some conditions or condemned no matter what the circumstances—is a prob- lem now bothering churchmen of the country, much as the controversy between fundamentalists and mod- ernists did earlier in the vear. Three great demoninations. Meth- odist, Episcopal, Presbyterian and Baptist, will wrestle with the ques- tion during the next month at their national conferences. Smaller groups already have come 1o grips—their activities focused in Chicago—and so far the pacificists each time have emerged at the long end of the vote. Want War on Wai They think that the church should wage war on war; that it should ver again bless any military con- t or call it holy; that all the religious forces of the country should drive against the forces that make for international disturbances until peace is assured for all time. The whole controversy between the anti-militarists and _their equally staunch opponents within the church, who maintain that they should re- serve judgment on war, using the nfluence of religion where it : best serve its purpose, recently burst into the open. It had smouldered along until thirty-eight northwestern university students pledged them- selves never lo take up arms for their country, and then found them- el the object of considerable newspaper attention. This jon, followed by a meeting of the n ton Epworth League, addressed by a evader, at which the flag was #aid to have been hissed, accentuated - issue. P Hen came meetings of local clergy and actions that assure consideration of the whole problem of war and peace by the national church assem- blies. Students Approve W Further to emphasize the move- ment, over 500 Methodist students from every state in the Union. rep- resenting 110,000 students and 112 colleges and universities, have just voted in a meeting at Louisville ctively to oppose war. Seve Aihe of the ttudents declared the willingness to face a firing squad than face a drill sergeant. The Methodists commence their national meeting May 1 at Spring- field, Mass., when they face the new . to be followed by assemblies of Presbyterians anr Baptists. Prom ent local members of the clergy ac- tive in the movement for a definite stand by the church on war. declare hat they are not for “peace at any pric but express themselves determined that religion should be directed to break down any move- ment that might lead to armed ““The controversy is now breaking out in the Federation of Churches of Christ in America, representing thirty- one denominations. It is —rapidly taking over the arena previously held by religious gladiators involved in verbal conflict over the question of the Virgin birth of Christ HUMMING BIRD LIKES PLAY. Tiny Flyer Will Challenge Other Birds to Race With It. Robert S. Wood in Bird Lore. As the male humming bird takes no part or interest in the nest build- ing or the rearing of the voung, and a brief visit to any convenient flowers serves to satisfy his appetite, he has considerable spare time at his dis- posal. Most of this he spends on cer- tain favorite observation _ posts, whence he sallies forth occasionally in pursuit of a trespassing hummer @x bird of some other sort. Even the Aiff swallow is not immune from his attacks and seems quite unable to avoid his onslaughts. The humming bird frequently mounts vertically into the air until almost_out of sight, then descends like a bullet directly at the object of his attention. If the other bird flies, the humming bird follows: if not, he passes within a few inches, sweeping through an arc which carries him up- ward again to repeat the process until tired. The downward swoop is accompanied by a long shrill whistle which is characteristic of the species and is often the first indication of its arrival in the spring. To a casual student of humming bird peychology they appear to be actuated more than by anger or jeal- ousy, as the other birds are not harmed if they choose to ignore the antics of the humming bird, as is very often the case. I have often seen a bumming bird and hover in front of another as if bantering it to a game of tag, then dart off, hotly pursued by the second. The fe- males seem to enjoy this sport as well as the males. Only Halfway Cousins. From the Youth's Companion. There is a good story about Sir Nicholas Bacon, the father of Lord Bacon, the philosopher, Nicholas was a judge in the time of Elizabeth. Once a criminal importuned him to spare his life on account of kinship. “How are we related?’ demanded the judge. “Because my name is Hogg and yours is Bacon; and hog and bacon are so near akin that they cannot be separated.” “Aye,” responded the judge dryly, tpbut you and I cannot yet be kindred, for the hog is not bacon until it be well hanged.” .

C., MAY BOOSTING CAUCASUS AS VACATION RESORT Soviet Oficials Visit Sukhum Dis trict—Some Americans Reported. NOTED AS FERTILE REGION Circassian Walnut Grown for Fine Furniture. Intricately curly, warm-toned wood of a Circassian walnut dinner table or highly polished dresser are the closest contacts most Americans have to lofty Caucasus mountains where soviet officials now repair for their health, according tp news reports from Russia. “Sukhum aspires to be not only a health resort for Russian government officials, but also a vacation paradise whose salubrity and beauty -chal- lenge that of Florida, California, the Riviera, Switzerland and the lovely tropical isles of the South Sea,” says a bulletin of the National Geographic Society from its headquarters here. Some American Settlern. “Wealthy Russians are encouraging this development by building splen- did villas whose verandas command & magnificent view of the Black sea, deep forests Tofty Mount Elbru: one-third of ch is constantly cov- ered with snow. It is even reported that some Americans, preferring a more sparsely settled paradise on earth, have transferred their affec- tions to the Caucasus. ‘Sukhum (Sukum Kaleh, in full) is 100 miles north from Batum, at the eastern end of the Black sea, and is the only good port between Batum and the Sea of Azov. Mountaineers shun the city, fearing malaria, but the foothills of the frosty Caucasus, 2 background splashed against the sky with giant strokes, afford one of the most delightful climates in the world. It is natural that Russians make this district their vacation cap- ital, since the Caucasus is the only great mountain range in all soviet land and presents a striking relief to the flat but fruitful plains. A famous Aly guide who went to the Caucasus by rail, —exasperated by endless horizontal lines in the Ukraine, finally broke out, saying it was no use to for mountains since it was hourly becoming more evident that the world was truly flat.

In addition to walnut, there are oak, beech, pine and many other va- rieties growing side by side.

Common plants, which ordi- narily attain a height of one or two fee become giants five or six feet tall Mountainsides are great bou- quets. The fireworks of flowers are said to recall Fourth of July sky- rocket displays. There are great yel- Jow scabious flowers, azure colum- bines and crimson blooms, like Alpins snakeweed. Beneath these gaudy canopies are found shade-loving blooms—geraniums, orchids, forget- me-nots, voilets. Race Has No Written Language. “Like the strnage plants, the Ab- Kkhasians, or the remnant of them, who inhabit this Caucasian paradise, are a race which seems to have no ties with the historical world. thnolo- gists are said to have worked on the problem of their origin in vain. Like northerners, they are tall, fair- compiexioned, biue-eved. have au- burn hair and love sports and ath- letics. Yet they have an oriental regularity fo feature. Other similari- ties ally them to Semitic races. They have no written language. Their fruitful mountain slopes provide an easy living, and not s venturer in the hills is reminded of old Greek idyls as he comes upon a picturesque shepherd tending his flock, grazing in infinite peace on a solitary mountain meadow. “Herodotus knew the Caucasus for the highest mountains with which the civilized world was acquainted. He reported that the people lived on fruit, and so they do to a great ex- tent even today. ILeaves for making fast dye were obtained in the for- ests, hie wrote, and the people were insensible to laws of decency or morality. To the Black sea shore of the Caucasus came Jason in His tiny ship in search of the golden flecce. Perhaps the ‘golden fleece’ was mere. Iy an excuse, a ‘buginess trip, which would permit him®to spend a sum- mer at what the world has rediscov- ered as an attractive vacation re- sort. Setting for Shelly Poem. . “Prometheus was bound by the gods to the frozen flanks of Elbruz, legend has it. He was the god of fire and cultural progress, a friend of man, and it was for frustrating acts of despotic deities that he was chained to the highest peak in Europe. The story served as the theme for Shel- 1y's "Prometheus Unbound.” Snow Always Prevalls “Elbruz's ‘monarch mountain to with kingly ermine snow: 1s cons stantly clothed, but visitors say it does not compare in majesty to many other famous world peaks.

" The Caucasus, as a mountain re- sort. lacks the lakes of Switzerland. Their numerous glaciers do not com- pare with the ice streams of Alas- ka's inland passage.
