Efforts have been made to let Ger- many pay its bill in other than gold niarks, and certainly goods and mater- the geld. Great stress is laid by Germany upon the fact that it cannot stand the tax that it is ¢xpected to levy upon its people, in whish attitude it seems to disregard the fact that other countries are under a mucli heavier tax than it is whether they like it or not. There are debts to be paid whetber it happens to be a nation among the victors or the losers. When the commission’s proposition was nted it was expected that Germany would oppose it and it promiseg now to become a basis for negotiation even as It was then anticipated, but with little dis- pesition on the part of the allies to ex- ténd -any great degree of lemlency just because Germany is hollering.

It was the passing away of a life that was tempestuous through most of its hty-four years. Voltarie’s work was done. His gen- erous scheme of a-national dictionary since so ably carried out in France in the United States and else- where, was not the least of his ser- vices to civilization, last. He was aware that the French Academy had given a consent to his project, and he could not quite avoid the reflection that a man eighty-three years old was not certain to witness its completion. So at this advanced age, Voltarie set about preparing an elaborate discourse upon the subject, to read to the Acad- emy, that should convince the skepti- cal and rouse the lethargic; an essay which, by exhibiting all the charms and utilities of such a work, could prevent, in any case its abandonment. In the sixty-three years of Voltaire's literary career he had put the French language to every strain of which it is capable, from epigram to tragedy from the easiest narrative to the new- est science. He knew it in its strength jand in its weakness, its wealth and its he knew it as no other man has ever known any language. Hence: he must have realized how stupen- ous a task it was that lay before one of his years. Indeed, his strength was gone before he had appeased his crav- ing to accomplish. He resorted then to the most destructive of all stimu- lants to jaded naerves—a stimulzjt more deadly than alcohol to a spent student. In the coure of a long eve- ning, followed a day of toil, he drank much coffee. Voitaire kept at his task until late at night and drank twelve cups of coffee.” When at last he went to bed he could not sleep and he never again enjoyed a sleep that was natural. The special session of the academy, appointed to arrange further details of the new scheme, was post- poned on account of the feverish con- | indulgence brought He was still able to get about, and even to walk out, no one suppos- Ing that his symptoms were'of a se- rious nature.
