GERMAN FINANCES.

Tho German minister of finance, MI.
Sydow has recently appealed TO the
patriotism, of the German people Tor
support for his efforts to place the nm.
unres Of the empire r'n Il more solid
basis The trouble is that the gov
eminent has continually borrowed
money and piled debt upon debt, I'M
til a change of policy has become alb
solutely necessary. The situation is
not without local interest, as an Illus
uttion of the ruinouss policy of borrow
ing moneys.all the. time, which Is the
policy of our own city government.
Minister sydow points out that Ger

debt was s1s.Oo0ooo: now it is $1,000, o0O,-
900. This plan. he says, of borrowing
larger and larger sums cannot go on.
The debts must be paid. And in order
to meet the obligations he proposes to
levy taxes on various ''luxuries and
necessities of life" and among these
he includes advertisements, electricity,
and gas. The situation created by the
policy OF increasing the national in
debtediness year after year must have
become critical indeed when the Fin
ance Minister finds 1t necessary to
suggest remedy which simply means
added burdens of taxation upon the,
poorer classes. Vorwaerts, the Social
list organ, justly attacks the policy pro-
posed as follows:
hi 10 No o,. "a l.
thy, who have been the cause of this
national Indebtedness, are spared In
every possible way and, with the ex-,
ception Of the duty on champagne and
on foreign wines, feel only light taxa
ton. But there is no duty imposed on
the property of the Empire, on divi-
dends or ON coupons. At the close of
to the idealistic enthusiasm to the
self-sacritice of the people. but this APP
| peal has no meaning excepting for tho
| poorer classes of the community. The
| rich have go plainly shown their pa
| triotio spirit OF sef-sacritice by the
| way in which their representatives in
! the Reichstag have voted for naval Imili-
tary and colonial appropriations that
| no man would venture to ask them
| to bear the expenses of their complai-
| sance.'
| That goes to the root OF the evil.
| Public debt means Increased taxes and
Increased cost of living. But this in
crease always Is met by the consumer,
and Is felt most heavily by the classes
whose wages are low. The extrava-
gance OF government, national and mu-
nicipal Is paid by the classes who ca n
| least afford extravaganza.

news of which has just come to the

Tha news Of an elopement became
known today, and Jacob Magin, a
blcyclist who has won athletic honors

National Turn Verein. and his pretty
wife. who was Miss Edna Conklin, are
being congratulated.
Daniel Debue and Miss Mildred

their own matrimonial knot tied the

The happy quartet kept their re-

marriage for several days. md when
they did tell them they were readily
forgiven.
Neither of the young brides would
explain why they welded quietly.

could ride some at that time, and one
Sunday he invited Miss Edna to the
Vailsburg bicycle track, where he was
riding from scratch in two amateur
events. Magin was a winner almost
from the time he won his novice, but if
there was ever any doubt that he

LORETTA'S
FANCY TALES Of
AWFUL -T0RTURES
Orange Police Ready to POunce
on Inhuman Father, but
Didn't.

Loretta Larsen, whom the Orange
police say is the champion ~15-year-old
prevaricator of New Jersey and New
| York, will be taken to her home at 719
Hicks street, Brooklyn, today. And her
father, Lars Larsen, whom the police
were preparing to pounce upo as the
brute who had inflicted hideous tor
lures on her, has gone to Orange to
| take her home.
Loretta appealed to Alfred Outrupp,
an employment agent at as Centre
street, Orange, for work, and enter
tanned him with such a remarkable
tale of the inhuman treatment that he
tool her to the police station, and
Agent Abbott. of the Children's Aid
and Protective Society of the Oranges,
Immediately telephoned to the Brook
Ign S. p. c. c.
The girl charged her father with
beating her mother, who dice two
months ago, and says that when the
mother was gone he began to abuse
her. Finally she could stand it no
longer, she said, and decided to flee to
a friend, Louisa Hayden, who, she said,
lives in East Orange. She could not
find the Hayden girl, and went to Out
rupp's place to find employment.
Larsen is considered by his neignbors
i'm Brooklyn tosbe a model father. They
say Loretta is queer" Larsen main
tains a comfortable home for her and
her two brothers, Alfred, "a years old,
and Herman. 10.
-Four years ago Loretta went to the
Children's Society and complained of
her father n brother. Her mother
lost her reason a few years ago and
thereafter drank to excess.
Larsen has been unemployed for the
last four months, and Loretta grieved
because her spending money was cut
off. Alfred Larsen said today:
For a poor man my father is the
best in the world. He is very fond of
Loretta, and doesn't beat her."
