After a short silence he said abb
ruptly:
Il think I'll have to go down to
VENTS and order a new Tuxedo. The

try a cheaper. tailor than Wentz this
time-but I'm afraid to risk it,
Helen thought how fresh and new
his Tuxedo looked. but she said moth
ing.
And my white waistooats-I haven't
looked them over lately -
"Why. you have one you've only
worn twice, and two others nearly
new.
We'll. that's all right, then. But l
must keep my Clothes up. A man can't
afford to let his\wardrobe run down. -
Was Warren really more selfish than
most men? Helen asked herself when
she was alone. Or was it she who was
at fault? Did she expect more Of his
time and of himself than any other
active ambitious business man would
have given her?
He had said she should have mar
ried a mollycoddIe who would have
stayed in every night and let her purr
over him. A man with no ambition,
no prOgress-that wa what he had
meant by a colIycoddle- Was that
what she really wanted? Would sne
have Warren less active less inter
ested in his work, if she could? No.
no: she knew she would not. And yet
she felt that without being a molly
coddle Warren could have given her
much more than he did He had been
out three evening last week, and now
he was preparing to join another
club.
If in the next six months they drifted

n REAT Britain, after a season OF
III comparative quiet, is again per-
turbed by a German war scare
second in magnitude only to that great
panic which followed the revelations
concerning the German naval program
early last year. That now historic panic
was not the result of irresponsible agi-
tatiOn, nor of yellow journalism, but
resulted from the solemn announc ament
by the government that the German en-
pire had secretly accelerated its naval
program, and was launching Dread
noughtS and alI-big-gun cruisers much
more rapidly and much more frequently
than the British had suspected. The
result was a marked quickening of the
British naval activity, the Immediate
augmentation of the Dreadnought
bruilding program. the announcement of
the Inauguration of colonial navieS and
more taxes.
The manner in which the government,
then as now under control of the Lib
eral party, levied these taxes caused
the British people to forget the threat
ened danger of foreign war in clash
and clamOr of a great Domestic politi-
cal battle. The government in the
Lloyd-George budget sought to change
the methods of taxation by introducing
the principles of taxation of land val
ues and. of the unearned increment in
land. 1t also increased the taxation
on such luxuries az spirits and automo-
bile fuel, and it added to the income
tax a super-tax which fell only upon
the very wealthy.
Land Owners Want Big Navy.
The cry for the increase in the navy
had come from the wealthy and the
land owning classes. but they were
most unwilling to submit to increased
direct taxation to meet the financial
requirements of twO-keel- to-one-
navy. They presented a counter prop
additional revenue Should be raised by
tariff taxation, an indirect method.
They asserted that this not only would
furnish the needed revenue, but would
bolster up the decaying industry of the
islands by affording protection against
the cheaper products Of other counS
tries. Hark{ng back to the ancient
English system Of protective tariffs this
reform was to give protective stimulus
not alone to British manufactur but
also TO British landowners. since the
scheme included a tariff tax on wheat
and other breadstuffs. The fact that
Great Britain cannot produce more
than One-fourth of the grain necessary
TO feed its people was circumvented by
proposal to give the British colonies
preference which would admit their
wheat at lower duty than that of for
eign countries. But in any event the
proposed reform included the substitu-
ton of tax on bread for the intended
tax on land. Everybody eats bread.
very few people in England own land
The New Taxation System.
The ensuing struggle between the
two parties ended in the election last
January Of a house of commons in
which the Liberal government remained
in power by virtue of a more or less
precariouS coalition with the Labor
party and the Irish Nationalists. "he
