AMERICANS SUPPORT
THE KAISER'S ARMY?
Uncle Sans Subjects in Germany
May Have to Pay
War Tax.
PERHAPS THEY ARE EXEMPT

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
Berlin, March 2L-The Americans resid-
ing in Germany and the representatives
Of American firms doing business here
are awaiting with keen interest the result
of the investigation Ambassador Gerard
is now making to determine whether they
are entitled to exemption from the new
German military taxation.
Under the existing treaties between
Germany and certain other nations, in
Guiding Russia, Roumania, and Grece. the
subjects of those powers residing here ex-
plicitly are exempted from the necessity
Of paying any taxation for military pur-
poses. Under the most favorite nation
clause. all American citizens would be en-
titled to the same privilege.
Whether the countries named intend to
enforce their claims under the treaty is
as yet unknown, but at the Russian EN-
bassy it was admitted that the matter
was under consideration. The decision
will be reported to the State Department
by Mr.. Gerard.
The question is of direct importance to
large proportion of the Americans living
here, as the new war tax practically hits
everybody who has an income exceeding
81. 900 or property worth more than $500.
In the case of many firms doing busi-
ness here on American capital. the
amount of the tax would run into many
thousands.

London, MarcE H.-Among the arrange
ments for the King and Queen when they
visit Paris next month is an inspection of
some Of the principal apartments Of the
old palace Of Versailles.
Their majesties will be entertained at
luncheon by the President, and this will
be served in the magnificent "Galerie des
Battailles" This visit will possess con-
siderable historic interest by reason of
the fact that this will be the first oc-
casion upon which the King and Queen
OF England Lave taken a meal at Yer
sailles-
Their majesties paid a visit there when
they were in France a few years ago as
Prince and Princess of Wales. and the
Queen was on that occasion much in
terested in all that was shown to her,

That the employees Of the Bethlehem

COTTON MARKETS.

1t is understood that in adopting the
government types the New York Cotton
Exchange does not propose to discard the
present ones before April l, 1915. This
delay was made necessary because Of the
difficulty of changing the provisions of
contracts already entered into. The rules
of the exchange allow trading in future
options a year ahead. and II is contended
that any changes before April l next
would effect outstanding contracts, and
would be expressly unfair to all parties
concerned.

JUST TWO WEEKS.

We have just two weeks within which to raise s6,500 in additiona. funds to guarantee the next Arka T. sas state fair There was a time when it appeared that this institution might as well be dropped unless state aid, either directly through the legisla ture or through state institutions, be secured
 Then there arose before the people the great opportunity offered this year that had not been offered before
 the assembling Of the best of the Arkansas products here at the state fair and the removal Of them from the state fair to San Francisco, to display Arkansas and her opportnm. ities before the world at the Panama Pacific exposition.
 It seemed a shame to let this insti- tuition fade out at such 8 moment or opportunity and with characteristic zeal and energy. the people of Hot Springs put their shoulders to the wheel again and started out to finance another state fair alone We should carry the work through this year, carry 1t to the graadest culmination ever known in it's history. and then unless the people of Arkansas do ticr rart another year, we can go before them in the state legislature, look them squarely in the eyes, and tell them we have done our full part, and more, and leave the future bur den with them.
