GREATER TASK is SEEN
DURING SECOND YEAR
Imperial Treasurer Says Greater

Allies Cause Already Is Lost.

BERLIN, August 21.-The new Ger
man war loan Of $2.5oO. 100000 was
passed unanimously on the second and
third readings in the reichstag.
DR.. Karl Helfferich. the imperial
treasurer. in his speech dealing with
the enormously increasing cost of the
war, owing to the necessity Of equip
ping new field forces. the steadily in
creasfng cost of all commodities used
in the manufacture Of ammunition. the
heavy expense of transportation and
the occupation Of new territory, said:
Holding fast during this second year
of the war will be harder in many re-
spects than in the first. Renewed and
greater exertions must be made to sup
port the home population. aIleviating
want and averting threatened dis
tress. We shall devote 100000. 900
marks ($50, ,000) from the new credit
to assisting soldiers families and those
out of work"
Allies Cause Lost, He Says.
He argued that the allies cause al
ready is lost. but that they are strug-
Cling against such an admission. hence
I'VE must continue the fight to compel
them to recognize that we are uncon-
querable."
DR.. Helfrerich. speaking further said
Until now 2O,0O0,0O0,000 marks
5000, ,000,00O) have been voted and
our estimates of war needs still are
exceeded by real war expenditures. The
expenditure in one month is higher by
one-third than the total expenditure
for the war of 1870, but every German
knows that the sacrifice will not be in
vain. The grant Of new millions means
IA guarantee of unmovable determina-
tion on the part of German people.
Taxation Not Planned.
During the war we will not increase
the gigantic burden of the people by
new taxation. A tax on war profits can
only be raised at the conclusion Of the
war. 1t will be payable both in cash
and in a war loan. Our economic future
must be freed from the gigantic burden
of war. The heavy burden Of Thousands
Of millions will be borne through dec
ades by the instfgators Of the war and
not by US. u,
Both the first war loans were COW
cred partly by the war chest and part
ly by cash in hand at the reichhaupt-
kasse Imperial treasury at the out
break of the war. To this must be
added the surplus Of the extraordinary
budget Of 1914-1915. which. instead Of
the expected $4,000 marks $14,500,-
