HUMAN INTEREST NOTES
 FOUND IN THE LATEST WAR BULLETINS

CTS of war, who have arrived in France recently is Lieut.. Otto W, who is an important Ravarian bank CT. He spoke freely to a, personal friend, a FrenchInan. He admitted that the campaign was not fulfilling the announcements made by the Ger man Headquarters Staff. This officer said he was convinced that it was impossible to crush Germany, but that fifty years would be necessary to re- store her economically if she should get no war indemnity. He added:
 When the war is finished it will be necessary to withdraw annually g. portion of all paper money that has been issued. The necessary money will be found easily by heavily taxing private fortunes The preliminary work made in France as the basis of an income tax will serve us as a means of striking private fortunes in France with a proportional tax payable immediately, if Germany wins.''
 Lieut.. Otto W believes that so far. the fight has been equal.

The Mexican Situation.

If President Wilson's new attitude to.
ward Mexican affairs is born of new
light which he has received from repre-
sentatiyes sent to that country it, to
be hoped that his latest purpose will
prove more humanely efiicacious than
have those he has thus far instituted
and tried out. The task before him is
to undo what has been done since his
first attempt at interference in Mexican
affairs, which resulted in the Punishment
of Huerta and the starting on their way
of the several bandit leaders who have
brought about condition of murder and
devastation under the policy of watch
full waiting. Perhaps the yelled or inn
piled threat of interference in case the
present warning factions do not get to-
gether on some common and more or
less friendly basis, may secure by in
direction what it has been unable to get
by direct effort. Huerta, who is now
living on Long Island, maintains that
Mexicans will resent interference by the
United States. If their resentment will
cause them TO pull together for the
good and the independence of their CON-
mon country, rather than for the spoils
which their individual leaders now seem
intent upon getting, the desired end will
have been attained. Bat since there is
a possibility that this nation may be
called upon to secure by forceful means
what it cannot get by peaceful methodA
it would seem that our prudent course
would be to stop selling arms and am
muntion TO the bandits who later may
turn the guns against our own soldiers.
Doubtless the fewer arms this nation
permits to enter Mexico. the better il
will be for all.--Boston Traveller.
