Old Claim Aoalnst KaIser.

Some little time back there seemed
prospect Of lawsuit against the
kaiser with a view to making him
disgorge some Of his wealth. The
plaintiff claimed to be the heir of
Field Marshal Won Muennich, and
stated that in 1765 his ancestor sub
mitted feud respecting some prop
erty to the arbitration of Frederick
the Great, depositing the sum of
S46,S00 as caution money. This was
never returned to the field marshal, al
though the award went in his favor
and with compound interest was caL
culated at about two million pounds
when steps were taken to reclaim it.
The legal representative Of the kais.
er admitted that Frederick had re-
tanned the money, but, as the claim
ant was unable to show documentary
evidence of his descent from Won
Muennich, the case did not go into
court.

A Hero Of WIqht.

Bonchurch, Isle of Wight, which is
buying its ancient landslide as pub
lie recreation ground, can claim as
sociation with one Of the famous
feats of the British navy, for it was
the birthplace Of Queen Anne's Ad-
miral Hobson. Within few days Of
Hobson's joining the navy as ships
boy the fleet went into action, and
his vessel was laid alongside that Of
the French admiral. The boy made
his way to the enemy's ship upper.
ceived, and struck and carried of the
flag. The French, thrown into con-
fusion, were successfully boarded.
and the English crew, at the end Of
the fight was met by the ships boy
with the enemy's flag neatly draped
over his arm.

Soldiers and spectacles.

The large number of territorials
with spectacles or eyeglasses has
been noticed. On this point the late
Mr.. Eustace Balfour, brother of Mr..
Arthur Balfour, wrote to the London
Scottish during the Boer war Some
members who have passed the medical
tests on the assumption that they will
shoot in spectacles do not do so. May
/ point out that spectacles are no hui
initiation? The Germans wear them
in war. They are in some respects
even protection against dust per-
sonally, have been all my life deer
stalker, and have always had to wear
glasses I do not think have ever
lost stag which should otherwise
have hit by having spectacles on. The
prejudice against them is childish and
artificial in my view."-London Chron-
icle.

COST OF ARMlNe EUROPE
Forty Billion Dollars Has Been Spent
for This Purpose in Twenty
Five Years.


There is no escaping taxation abroad.
II is driven right into the vitals of the
people, rich and poor alike. Like death,
1t has to be. In the last 25 years the
six great military nations, England,
France. Germany, Austria, Italy and
Russia, have spent about forty billion
dollars to get ready to fight one anoth-
er. None of them has had single
war with any of its neighbors during
that time.
Just stop and think what $4,000
100000 means, writes Albert W. At
wood in the Saturday Evening Post.
The farms of the United States are
worth only $4O.OOO,OOO,O The total
wealth of England is only about $780,
O00,000,O00. Forty billions is approx
mately three times all the money in
the world. Yet every dollar has been
spent merely getting ready for a war
that good people really thought would
never come. 1t did come more swiftly,
suddenly and murderously than the
widest lingo had conceived possible,

Now, you can't raise 100000 900
without going after it hard. A great
statesman, describing the tax collec-
tors of Europe to the French chamber
of deputies, said: They have been
obliged to resort to an intoIerable es-
pionage and degrading system OF
informers. They question caterers,
neighbors, servants, children; they
keep account Of dinners that are
given and the cigars that are offered
to guests"
There is no limit to the financial re-
sources of European power, because
there is no form Of wealth that is left
intact. 1t may be only little annoy
ing and mostly amusing to the Amer
ican tourist to have quarter Of a
cent added to his hotel bill to help out
the government in whose boundaries
he happens to be. But there is nothing
funny about the burden of militarism
to the very rich continental who in
some cases pays more than a fifth of
his income to the government.
III you nad 10 live on an income OF
500 year you would hardly care to
pay taxes, and yet in Saxony, for ex-
ample, an income of more than 400
marks is taxed.
True, the income tax is only one
mark-23.S cents-until your income
exceeds $125 year; but when you
have to live on less than So week and
pay local taxes as well it is no droll or
comic matter to pay 23.S cents to the
nation, especially as the government
uses something like two-thirds of your
mark either to pay interest on debts
incurred for past wars--in which quite
likely your grandfather was killed or
to keep up an army which you will
have to join in any case when your
ruler decides to make you fight again
and perhaps be killed or wounded.
