he hasn't become formally a British

words seem to justify such extreme
language.
America Is a rotten place, a rotten
hole. no place for a gentleman TO live

elegantly he summed up his views of
his native land. according to an Aft

London Chancery court.

There are quite n few such citizens
as DrcXel living abroad. And that's
all right. The farther abroad they
live, the better we like it. We have
no particular quarrel with them-so

WAR
ON GERMANY.

Germany's miraculous system OF
financing the war gives signs of fail
ing at last. National loans prove TO be
not a perpetual motion machine, but
a resource that may be exhausted. DIR.
Helflerish, the secretary OF the I'M
perial treasury. has told the Reichs.
tag that war taxes must be imposed.
Last August DR.. Helnerich declar-
ed: During the war we will not in
crease Inc gigantic burden of the peo-
PIE ~ new taxation. The heavy bur-
uen oi thousands Of millions will be
borne through the decades by the in
stigators of the war, and nol by us"
He has changed his mind, as have
most German statesmen. Apparent
ly they have given up hope of making
ever the instigators OF the war-who-
ever they may be-pay the bill in the
form OF huge indemnities.
The conviction is growing no only
in Berlin but in every capital OF Eur.
ope that there will be no indemnity
TO amount to anything at the close
Of this war. Either there will be no
victory OH either side crushing enough
TO compel 1t, OF all the contestants
will be SO eXhs listed that none OF them
will be able TO pay an indemnity.
Germany, then, is beginning I face
the problem of her huge and rapidly
mounting debt. The cost is now about
$4,000. 900, 0000. The interest on it is
about $500, 100000 a year, two.thirds OF
the total ordinary expenses of the Uni
ted States government, and nearly the
same proportion of the entire ordin.
airy evenue Of Germany. Another
year OF var may double that, saddling
Germany with a yearly interest charge
OF $l,OO0,0OU as a reminder OF her
tragic adventure, 10 be paid by an
impoverished and crippled population.
II Germany could only nave for.
seen this in July, 1914. needless TO say
there wouldn't have been any war.

II Is 10 be hoped that the many in.
v~estigations now in process will bear
out this statement. Americans may
be pardoned for not accepting Ger
many's unsupported word. Fol acti-

embassy at Washington have been dis
missed. About eighty Germans, some

American citizens, are now under ar

menL now dIsclaims. 1t will soon be
huUwn, from ~indisputable testimony,
mneIher Berlin has been at the bot
tom of the many oflenses against
American sentiment, property, life and
law that have been committed in the
past year and a half.
II the German government can be
shown to have clean hands, having
neither inspired nor directed nor Ii.
nanced anti-American plots, then the
problem OF dealing with the Offenders
will be simplified. They will appear
simply sporadic cases Of crime, to be
dealt with in the usual way.
We shall await the proof. We are
willing to be shown. And since 10
class of American has so much at
stake as those of German origin, for
their sake alone the nation would like
10 see the suspicion of widespread
alien conspiracy swept away, and the
campaign of terrorzation explained
as due TO u few irresponsible individ.
uals of criminal tendency or u~nbalanc.
ed mind.
Whether the German government Is
guilty or innocent, certainly our Ger
man citizens, as a class, have been
wronged by being held guilty of the
outrage perpetrated. A few men have
committed crimes against our laws
and sovereignty. A few citizens, per.
haps, have financed such crimes or
have had guilty knowledge of them.
The chief responsibility seems TO rest
on the self-appointed leaders and the
German.language newspapers which
have winked at or condoned the
crimes while denouncing our govern.
ment. institutions and people.
TO all such mischiev,us represen.
tatives Of the German cause, Germany
plainly says, In the statement referreG
to:
Whoever Is guilty of conduct tend.
Ing to associate the German cause
with lawlessness of thought, sugges.
ton or deed against life, property or

an enemy Of that very cause and a
source of embarrassment TO the Ger.
man government, Notwithstanding any
thing he or they may believe to the
contrary"
