CONTENDING FORCES IN GERMANY Maximilian Harden in the World's Work, for March: ' : . "In October, 1918. Germany was pre pared -to admit that th imperial gov ernment -had acted wantonly, uncon scientiously, and untruthfully, and had sinned against; humanity. Then aB the beautiful cloud shapes of Understand ing between nations, disarmament, and the reign of International justice "dis anpeared, the significance of the read iness to acknowledge sin and repent aiT vanished. Out of this there rows On thf- left the faith that a.nttatiri the chief .offender, must everywhere, in rtpuhllc r.J in monarchy, be- dsst.yod by a. violent mass attack. On the right, the determination grows to strive with all. Jorces," even those of cunning and deceit, for the- resurrection of the old Germany, strong in military strength, and . determined upon th will-to-power.. Thus it is in November, 1920." A THOROUGH-GOING BEAST Carl E. Akeley in the World's Work for March; "A hunter I met once told) me an experience he had with an 'African buffalo which shows in rather a ter rible , way the characteristics of the animal. He and a companion wounded a buffalo and followed it into the long grass. It was. lurking where they did not expect it and with a sudden charge it was gupon them before they had a chance to shoot. The" buffalo knocked down the man who told me the story and then rushed after nls companion. The first victim managed to climb a tree although without nis gun. By that time the other man was dead. But the buffalo was. not satisfied. For twJ hours he stamped and tossed the re mains while the wounded man 'in the tree sat helplessly watching." COUNSEL FOR THE NEEDY ; Maximilian Harden in the World's Work for March : "Every country knows three or four tried men and womeji whose opinion it values, from whose - advice and acts it hopes for sane action, but; who strive for no official-position fto seat in par liament',' nor do, they reach after place or position, because they are strong personalities not to be adapted to a party yoke. These must be foeard In this hour of "deepest need." North Carolina Announces the Thrift should be taught to your children from the time they enter school. We are impressed each day by the necessity of saving a small part of our wages each week, while we are young, for the ages have taught us that the only time to save is while we are young. Therefore, thrift should be taught in the school as well as at home.

I HITS CHILE VERY HARD Peso Has Dropped From 12 to Nine Pence While Ameri can Dollar Soars VALPARAISO, Jan. 25 (Correspond ence Associated Press). The fall in the rate of Chilean exchange on Lon don from nearly 18 pence to nine pence per peso in the last few months and the abnormal rise of the American dollar until it has been quoted above seven pesos, the . highest in five years, had a depressing effect in financial and commercial circles . throughout the country. The nonmal quotation of the dollar is above five pesos. Chilean firms and importing aeents witu connections in th TTnltert stntnl virtually suspended all purchases tfhere owing to the premium on the dol- lar. Meanwhile, quantities of Ameri- can- merchandise, Variously estimated at $1,000,000 to $2,500,000 accumulated in the customs houses, the consignees naving rerusea to accept the goods, against the high rate on New York.

Weakness of the pouna sterling against xsew iorK is said in some quarters to have contrib- uted to the drop in Chilean exchange. Another reason is said to be the lack of sales of nitrate from which the gov- ernment derives more than bo per cent ; of its annual Income.

OFFICE: 118 PRINCESS STREET NEXT SATURDAY; MARCH AMERICAN EXPLORERS uD IU SUUIH AnlRlliA To Search for a Vast Store of Wealth in Diamond Country - of British Guiana NEW YORK, Feb. 25. Two young Americans sailed from this port today for South America to search for a vast store of wealth supposed to lie In the i "chimney" of the diamond deposits of British Guiana. At Georgetown, the capital- of the British possession, they will-: be joined by a. third adventure some American who has outfitted in Paris. ' The expedition is under the patron age of Harvard university and-- the Smithsonian Institute of Washington, for which it will carry on geographical explorations. William J. LaVarre. Jr.. a Harvard graduate of 1919, heads the . party and his fellow explorers are r James MacDonald, of Lima, Ohio, and j Dudley Lewis, of Springfield, Mass. They expect to spend more than a year in the jungle. Besides an attempt to follow the scattered deposits of precious stones i several hundred miles through tan gled, reptile infested wilderness to their squrce, long known to exist some where in the hill country, but never discovered, the expedition will take observations of the aboriginal inhabi tants and geological features of the country, as well as capture specimens of native wild animals for the Smith sonian institute. Before -his departure on the Brazil ian steamer Uberaba, Mr. LaVarre out lined details of the adventuresome pro ject.... Though still in his twenties the young explorer has accompanied three expeditions to South and Central America, including a difficult mission into the heart of the Andes. After provisions are provided - at Georgetown -the expedition will board a canoe houseboat with a crew of a dozen to twenty oarsmen and laborers, and begin .its journey up the Essequibo river, passing out of the area settled ly white men in a few days paddling. After that it will penetrate the trop ical jungle entirely on its own re sources. Establishing headquarters in the prairie country 170 miles up the Ma zaruni river, whioh empties into , the Essequibo, - the diamond hunters will begin work oh the alluvial lands bor dering streams on the eastern water shed of the Sierra Pacaraima moun tains which separate British Guiana from Venezuela. The area in which ' the expedition will operate has been known since the middle of the last century, as a x rich diamond field, although .Its -InacceiBa-bility and the prevalance of tropical diseases- -have -.served-- to discourage prospecting . by , white men.

"Somewhere near every spot where diamonds are found In r. considerable numbers there must be a "chimney,'" explained Mr. LaVarre; There Is no telling definitely where the Guiana 'chimney' is located, but we mean to find it and are basing our. expectations on more than - speculation. Study of data collected by other explorers and prospectors, as well as my own obser vations, indicate that It is - within a certain area near the- Venezuela bor der.'! He added that the quality of stones taken from the vicinity .where his par ty will work points to a "chimney" as rich or richer than those of the South African diamond, fields. Animals which will be taken for the Washington Zoological , garden include tapirs, anteaters, jaguars, and mon keys, as well as a variety ' of tropical birds. - IMAGINARY BARRIER S One of the tragedies of life is that men and women ; feel . that they have to fear each. . other, that they experi-": ence so much difficulty in bridging the chasm that . seems to exist between I themselves and all. others with the ex-! oeption of the most intimate friends: This " condition exists ' very generally between persons belonging to different classes of society, between the rich and the poor, the employer and the j employed. The poor man always is inclined to feel that the rich man is soulless. Sometimes he is, but not so I often as he is supposed to be. Those holding distinguished; positions . in so- , ciety usually are - so much kinder,, so j much warmer, of heart -than the outside world Is likely to suspect j Only - recently I heard it said of the president of one of the biggest hanks in the state that he had the faculty of meeting a king of finance or an oil : driller or tool-dfesser on precisely . the same basts of friendliness. One might, say, perhaps, that such a faculty is a1 mark of genius. But, whatever it Is, It is a gift of the gods. So many of the things that divicVe us are purely artificial, or wholly im-1 aginary. No task . in the : whole world : today is more important than thalfof ; breaking down the barriers that bow 1 divide us and incite us to savage hu-1 mors. It is the task of labor and capi-: tal. It is the task of the nations of, the world. It is the first step we can; take toward disarmament. The whole world must mend its disposition before we canv make any progress toward peace in . industry change. or j t politics. Ex- worst . Willis Did your daughter marry a "has-been?" ..

SOON GIVE SUFFRAGE TO URUGUAYAN LADIES Little Latin-American Country Well in Forefront of Modern Legislation MONTEVIDEO, : Uruguay, Jan. 25 (Correspondence Associated Press) a .. President Baltazar Brum believes that Uruguay is well in the forefront of advanced legislation In many reepeots and that it will soon take steps whioh will lead eventually to full suffrage for women. The laws enacted by . the Uruguay congress for the protection of working men, he said, had made labor content ed In this country, y One of the laws now pending provides that labor can not be employed in the country dis- trlcts for less than $20 a month with board and lodging. In the city the minimum is set at approximately $45 a month. ; . ,t ' "We also have a law," said Dr. Brum, -"giving an oblig-atory day of rest each week and this has been made to in clude domestic servants. Our labor, is satisfied. Ship all your agitators here; we are not afraid of them. They will not find congenial soil In which to work." ; In regard to woman suffrage, he said, the constitution of Uruguay provides for votes for women-but that the ma chinery for their balloting has not yet been provided by the act of congress. He added that he believed that within two years women -would be given the right to vote for municipal represen tatives and that would lead to completa suffrage for them.? - , Dr. Brum spoke with some pride of the educational facilities in Uruguay, saying It was now possible for a child to be educated from the time when ,h begins to .learn to read, through the national schools and universities until he receives r his degree as a lawyer, without having to pay any kind of-, a. fee whatever. With regard to prohibition, the pres ident stated - that there .was quite ": strong feeling among the legislator of the nation in favor of curtailing th facilities for the sale of alcoholic" bev erages, .as well vas their distillation. This tendency apparently was in favo of allowing . the people to consume wines and beers but. to restrict, to a large extent, the. sale of spirits con taining: a large percentage of alcohol.
