The loan, although ostensibly to Germany, s one that will greatly benefit France. The important point of when Germany is to be judged in default is given for final decision to a neutral ‘committee of three ,members, after the reparations commission, with an American sitting upon it as umpire, * plaeés such a contingency in the hands of the neutral committee. Another in- vasion of the Ruhr is not made im- possible, but improbable.. The Dawes report went only so far as commanding economic evacuation of the Ruhr; but the London confer- ence has gone further and has decided upon military evacuation as well, this being brought about by a supple- mentary agreement, and will be com- pleted within'a ¥ ‘s time. \?mlvr‘lthe agreement Germany will pay approximately $600,000,000 & year. At this rate it would take less than 60 years for her to pay off the $33,000,000,000 assessed against her by the reparations commission as the war indemnily. This is the length of time it will take Lngland to pay of her funded indebtedness to the United | States, What will be done regarding the continental debts to the United States is not yet determined, some financiers holding that the debt owing us from continental nations are S0 high that they will never be pald off. England's share of the $600,000,000 to be paid annually by Germany will | enable her to make her annual pay- ments to the United States and have a little left over; but in the case of France there is no luck-—what I‘rance gets from Germany isn't enough to pay her indebtedness to the United States and to England. However, it will comfortably pay for reparations and pensions to the veterans. These | latter payments were inciuded in the reparations cost upon the Instigation | ot Lloyd George and Gen. Smuts of | South Africa, and were opposed D) Woodrow Wilson, but the latter fllml!)“ It increased the reparations yielded. esti- sum from $11,000,000,000—the mated costs of reconstructing France —to $33,000,000,000, and perhaps was the chief factor in muddling the situa- the Intermittent seen on the con- tion and causing chaos we have since tinent.

It these detcctives descended upon | New Britain at the noon hour and took | a glimpse along the main branch line of the New Haven railroad proudly | stemming its way through the leading parts of the city, they would suffer a conniption fit. It would be impossible to see the right of way from the vantage point of Main street and the raflroad tracks—the said right of way would be blanked by a solid wall of hurrying humanity disgorged from the factorles. | The workers have no more regard for the right of way than they have for the Inherent yights of mosquitoes. | "Phey trample upon it n disdain. If a few blustering detectives ever tried to stop them it would be like two field marshals and a colonel attempt- ing to fight an entire army. \VcI woudn't venture to gamble a German mark on the success of the detectives. Yet the fact remains that track- | walking, in New Britain as elsewhere, is dangerous, provided there are any trains coming. It is barely possible that, the railroad tracks being the wlidely-know branch line which New Britain makes important by its pres- ence, there is less danger, as trains do not run upon it in‘alarming frequency. IHHII, to be killed by a so-called train ithat stops at every white-washed fence ajong & branch line may be quite as effective as being killed on the main line by an express. Fach day, when this migration of sons of toil along the railroad tracks takes place, the hired hands employed by the railroad company suspend operations and look on in amazement. They don't raise thelr hands in hor-| ror, but they apeculat'e nt] what would happen If a fast train operated by a blind engineer should happen along. LB TR CINORER, exactly; NEW HAV S ENGINEERS 1t is noted from an edition of the New Haven time table that an article is included denoting the years of serv- jce of some of the company's engincrs. The significant statement is made that | | the length of time that its 1,765 en- giners have been in the service of the New Haven adds up to 28,768 years. The average length of service of all passenger train is 16.3 years.

Folks at Hatvard or Yale may think this distinction is important, although this 1sn’t certain. But it appears from this vantage point in Connecticut that the word “folks” has a pretty wide ap- plication, is in general use In prefer olk,” and 1s destined to con- “old ence to tinue more preferable to the Folks at Home." Who manufactures langua way, the college professors, authors or the people? Among authors must be included the authors of news stories and the editors of newspapers. Take your choice; we think the professors are better hands at compiling the re- sults of common usage than being the guiding spirits. There were three main variations of ancient Greek speech, the Ionic, the Aecolic and the Doric. These were divided into dialects. Probably there were professors or Jearned men who kept track of all of them and presum- od to say which variant of a word was correct in the Tonic, leaving the parti- sans of the Acolic and the Doric to conctude otherwise. same thing today “folks.” Some learned folks can try to change it into the more stilted “follk,"” there i8 little doubt what, word lhc; any- about majority of folks will use.
