 We ask Americans to suspend judgment until they can make an irl- partial investigation of the causes of the war. It is our conviction that the war has been forced on Germany by those nations that arc jealous of her growing industrial and commercial importance, and for this reason are ready and anxious to destroy her as a people.
 We hereby request the Associated Press to forward a copy of this paper to the President of the United States and the Secretary of State.''

BERlIN'S HEAVY TAX ON
DOGS REDUCES NUMBER
City's Annual income From This
Source Amounts to $3.50, 900.

Berlin, Jan. l0.-The canine popula-
ton of Berlin is decreasing steadily.
From 1895 in 1909 the number of
dogs in the city had dropped To 34,443
last year, according to tax statistics
just issued. and an even greater de-
crease is estimated for this year. The
increasing high cost of living, which
makes the saving of "a tax of $3.50
yearly "A big item To poor families. is
undoubtedly one explanation for the
decrease. a further factor this year
is the dog quarantine lave, which has
kept the animals muzzled and on lead
ing strings for Several months.
There are $40 tax-free dogs in the
city. Eighty of these are owned by the
emperor and the ambassadors and
ministers of foreign nations. There
are LIZA draught dogs exempt from
tax The city'S income from the dog
tax is more than $4,000 annually.
