Germany Resents Attitude Taken By Foreigners There
Travellers Buy Money by Bales And Flaunt it in Natives'
Faces
Berlin, Oct. 23 (United Press)—Americans and other foreigners will be unwelcome in Germany this winter.
Already a keen spirit of resentment, especially among the working classes, is setting in against what are called "valu-alta strong foreigners."
And part of this resentment, it may be said in fairness, is attributable to the conduct of certain traveling foreigners who have been swarming over Germany this summer.
They have made it difficult for Americans and others whose business requires them to remain in Germany. They have flaunted in the faces of waiters and shoprigs their dollars and their cheap marks; they have boasted of how cheaply they can buy foods and goods in Germany; and they have boasted that they "glad to get rid of this junk"—meaning the marks they bought by the bake.
The German has seen this; he has read, too, daily of how many marks the foreigners were "buying out" the country, taking along not only luxuries, but necessities. He has heard of the foreigner feasting with encaustic bread and with comparatively low when reckoned in American or British currency.
Further, he has observed that many of the foreigners were leading a loose life—wine, women and song.
And, along with it, he has gathered a sullen dislike for the foreigner.
Then he has turned the page, and read how many hundred marks his meat and his butter and his bread cost. He has reckoned that up in terms of a weekly wage running between 2,000 and 4,000 marks at present and has come to the conclusion that the economic situation is all
The result is a distinct spirit of hostility. A new cases have come to light in the last couple of weeks on the streets. English on the streets were hissed.
The foreigner wonders at such treatment and presents it. On the other hand, though, the German resents the boorish impoliteness and laid-mothed braggadocia which too many travelers assume.

New Book Written By Prof. Blackmar Has Been Published
Ustifiable Individualism"
Title—Protests Against Exalting the Mass
"Justifiable Individualism" is the title of a recent book by Frank Wilson Blackman, professor of sociology and former dean of the Graduate School of the University. The books has just been published by the Thomas Y. Crowell Company, New York.
The thesis of Professor Blackman's book is implied in the statement in an early chapter, which reads, "The old theory that if the individual, sound in body, sound in mind, with sterling moral qualities, were propounded, we would never world the leaven of righteousness and leave the whole lump has been overshadowed by the gigantic mass play of social reform as a means of human progress. So the conclusion is reached by many reformers that individualism has no place in social procreation, and is conditioned by the rule of mass. The converse instils in repudiation of the individual instead of his resignation."
In commenting on Professor Blackman's book, one writer says: "Certainly, in the beginning, the principle of democracy exalted the individual, just as the principle of Christianity—out of, or in harmony with which, democracy has developed—exalted the individual. Early Christianity did not condemn slavery, but it did accept the slave as a man, equal spirit."

democracy was regarded as asserting. In our own country we have all ways interpreted democracy as digitive the individual man."
Professor Blackman's book is an appeal to this doctrine and a protest against the tendency toward exalting the mass, against the "undue emphasis on social and economic organization, reform laws, and group activity as means of human progress." It attempts to turn back the sociolinguistic pressure stresses in the "moral and intellectual integrity of the individual."
Wichita Y. W. A. C. Has Weight Reducing Class
Wichita, Kans., Oct. 23 (U. P.) The local Y. W. C. A. announced recently that it would start a class for women weighing more than 200 pounds. The object was reduction of excessive fat.
Wiseacres laughingly declared the class would die in its infancy, because no woman would admit weighing more than 200 pounds.
J. Giddigher and C. Kidd, of William Jewell College, Liberty, Mo., were guests at the Alpha Tau Omega house over Saturday and Sunday.
That Wichita women place comfort above pride is shown in the fact that twenty-six women, aggregating more than two tons of flesh are enrolled and working regularly to regain their sylph-like figures.
Sue Bidwell, c25, spent Saturday and Sunday in Kansas City, Mo., visiting Charlotte Alken, c24.
