The allied conference at London, called n afinal effort to settle the question of German reparation, end ed in a flat failure, as nearly every body expected it would. And if any more conferences are called, they will end doubtless in failure just as complete-unless the conferees are willing, on both sides, to face facts. Those facts are plain enough to all the world outside of France. Surely they must be plain, too, to French statesmen, when those statesmen al low themselves, for an occasional moment, to lapt;e from war bitter ness and the exigencies of French, politics. Germany ought to pay all that has. been assessed against her. The moral obligation is there, and Germany considered as a business institution, with great assets and productive power, might be supposed able to make enough profit to meet the al lies deserve all that they can collect from Germany. But there's the. rub-they can col lect very little by any means tried yet, or by any other conceivable means. For the allies want money, and money is the one thing that Ger? many does not possess and apparent ly cannot obtain. Germany is cleaned out of cash. She is no longer able, to obtain any cash worth speaking of by selling paper marks for gold. The allies will not take paper. She could pay them in goods, but they do not want goods. That is all there is to it. Greenville News. They Wiggled in Mobile Bay Not so long ago; Today on salo at Huggins' Store Those fancy canned Shrimp-20c. Nabob Catsup-10c. Tempter Flour-a sack $1.00.
