The Berlin "Lokal Anzeiger'' says that
the property tax rs the Kaiser's suggestion
and has been joyfuIty accepted by his fellow
'sovereigns, while other welcomes are less
cheerful, on account OF the stringency
in the money market. The sVossiche
>Zeitung" regards it as equivalent to a
collapse Of the financial administration and
as without a counterpart since the Mid
die Ages, except as a desperate extreme
III IN emergency, or during war. The
'+Frankfurter ~Zeitung" regards the measure
rs an example of the Drunkenness among
the nations over ornaments. The plan has
not been entirely formulated, but it contem-
plates increasing the army from '626,OOO to
$50, 600 men, thus making the cost of the
military establishment onerhundred 'tnillion
pounds annually, or, with the naval budget,
a total@ef one hundred and thirty million
pounds, which is almost double the British
estimates. Germany regards her situation
as more critical than since 1873, owing to
the new strength of the Slavic nations, and
Russia recovery from the strain of her war
with Japan. The construction Of a new line
of forts along the eastern frontier has been
proposed.
New York, March Eth-Advices from
Washington state that DR.. Woodrow

ordered. His inaugural address has been ia
vourably received, but contains no surprise
nor specific proposals and merely a general
dedication of his best efforts to the welfare
of the nation.

copious and generally cordial, although shere
are some queries as to whether Mr.. Bry-
ans appointment rs Secre .ry of State will
not overshadow Pres dent Wilson.
