The indemnity figures make a neat little table, occupying less than a couple of inches of newspaper space. The total demanded by the Allies is £11,300.000,000. It is a fine, round xum, which looks well on paper and sounds well when read out loud.

But, except in certain political circles and some newspaper offices where the demand for a sensational indemnity has been insistent, it is extremely doubt

The British share is put down at £22,000,000 this year, and a similar sum next year, £33,000,000 in 1923, £44,000,000 in 1926, and so on to a minimum of £68,000,000 in the last thirty of forty-two wonderful years, during which we shall for should) receive in all £2,188,000,000.

One petition for divorce which has attracted attention this week contained any unsavoury details. In addition to a number of letters which were read, all of them material to the case but extremely objectionable, there were photographic transfers that may be described as very Parisian indeed.

Those who hold this view hantly quote one Judge as saying in the Divorce, Court there is no uso for delicacy if it interferes with the arrival at the truth." But the opposite school of thought argue that there can be no justification for women to serve on divorce cases, and point out that they would be better employed looking after their children than in listening to dis- gusting details of cases which might very well he left to men of the world to decide.

Meanwhile, pending the German reply to the proposals, the question is being asked what the Allies will do if Germany refuses to pay. Is payment to be exacted at the point of the bayonet, not only in the present, but well into the next gene- ration? Again, is it to be supposed that young Germans now in their teens will work on till past middle-age to discharge this load of debt? If forced to do so, what of the spirit of revenge that will be engendered and kept alive? I put these points down, not by way of argunient!
