ESCAPE MILITARY DUTY
German Subjects Living Here
Benefit by New Laws.
EVEN OFFICERS AFFECTED
Bachelors Escape Tax by Trans
ferring Property from Dis
eliminating State.

Berlin. Sept finder the new military
laws Germany is to-day calling on up
ward OF hundred thousand more Of her
sons each year to serve in the army. The
new regulations however. create condi-
tions under which German subjects living
abroad may escape military service en-
tirely. and in this regard they are of in
terest to Germans living iu the United
, States
The laws provide that German subjects
who have obtained permission to rost-
pone their military service on account Of
residence abroad and wh) have acquired
a permanent position there MAJ, on appli-
cation to the proper authorities, be eN-
cused entirely from active service and
transferred to the "landsturm." or militia,
which is called upon only i'm times of act
ual invasion The exemption IS granted
only on condition that entering the army
would jeopardize either the position or ia
vested capital OF the emlgrsnt and that
there s reason to believe that the appli-
cant is not trying deliberately to evaie
military service.
Officers or officials living 1DrCad may
now be- Granted leave for two years and
excused from returning for the usual
military dutles. subject only to the o5'l-
CATION OF returning I'm case OF general
mobilization and this leave may be cX-
tended indefinitely ON presentation of q
consular certificate that the applicant has
permanent position as merchant, Dusi-
ness manager. etc The officer whose liie
work f. found I'm America or another
country outside OF Europe and the Med
iterlau.au lands may even be excused
from returning upon mobilization, though
of course it rs almost inconceivabie to
think Of a German officer taking adVdn-
tace of this in case ~ war.
American statesmen who would like 20
manipulate the new income tax law 20
bear more hardly on the bachelor than on
the married man may take warning from
the experience ~ the little principalty
Of Reuss. where the FIRST bachelor tax In
Germany was introduced this year.
The tax has been In effect only since
Aprl .. but the Reuss' newspapers de-
clare that bachelors of property are trans

PARIS WILL BE COOL
TOWARD ROYAL VISITOR
Greek Kings Apparent Forget
fulness of General Eydoux's
Services Resented.

Paris. Sept 13.-When King Con-
stantine comes on his promised WISH
10 Paris he will be received with colo
civility. Every possible precaution Is
to be made TO avoid q repetition OF the
Kisses and the hostile manifestations
with which the Partisan street youths
in 1888 greeted the late Alphonso All'
who arrived in Paris from Berlin after
attending the German autumn man1u-
vres, during which he had been created
an honorary colonel of Lancers Of the
Prussian Guard Corps.
The timely diplomatic action Of the
Greek Premier, NJ. Venizelos. and Of NJ.
Romanos, the Greek Minister in Paris.
and the spontaneous expressions OF the
Greek nation and press OF friendship
toward France. together with the dis
Greet intention OF King Constantine 10
visit London before coming 10 Paris,
have partially effaced the outburst Of
public disapprobstion caused by the
Kings remarks 10 Emperor William
on the subject Of Greek Indebtedness
TO Germany with regard TO military or
ganization.
NJ. Clemenceau, who was Prime Min
ister OF France when the French mill
tary mission OF General Eydoux unoer-
took the task of reorganizing the Greek
military forces. has published the fol-
lowing remarks upon the subject:
1T was not the French government
but King George himself who took the
initiative in the French organization
Of the Greek army. King George asked
me IL the French government wouln
allow General Eydoux 10 put the Greek
army on an efficient fighting basis
Consequently General EydOux was sent
10 Athens, and the value OF his three
'ear' work there can be best appreci-
eted by the splendid work done by the
Creek army during two victorious
Wars.
King Constantine can neither dis
avow his words nor attenuate their
meaning Those words, no doubt, ac-
curately expressed his own personal
feelings toward his brother-in-law
Emperor William. but those words do
not express the feelings OF the Greek
nation nor Of the Greek government
Anyhow, it would be a most unfortu-
nate and objectionable error on the
part Of Parisisns to manifest toward
King Constantine any sentiments other
Than those Of friendship toward the
Greek people"

While some nations have not signed
the agreement Of 1912 and others have
