Future Burden VIII Not

DEBT OF BILLIONS
THROUGH DECADES
Comforts the. Kaiser's Subjects
in Discussing Measure for
Another War Loan.

Berlin (via Amsterdam and London),
Aug. 2O-Dr. Karl Helfferich, Secre-
tary of the German Imperial Treasury,
speaking in the Rechstag on the sec
ond reading of the war loan OF TO-
OOO.0000OO marks (s2,500, 000, 000), said:
until now 10000, 100000 marks 49,
600 ,OOO,0OO) have been voted, and our
estimates of the wars needs still are
exceeded by the real war expenditures.
The expenditure in one month is high
err by one-third than the total expendi-
ture for the war of 1870, but every
German knows that the sacrifices Will
not be in vain. The grant of new
millions means a guarantee of unmov-
able determination on the part of the
German people.
During the war we will not increase
the gigantic burden of the people by
rev taxation. A tax on war profits
can only be raised at the conclusion
Of the war. It will be payable both in
cash and in a war loan.
Says Foes Will Bear Burden.
"Our economic future must be freed
from the gigantic burden of war. The
heavy burden of thousands OF millions
will be borne through decades by the
instigators of the war, and not by US.
"Both the first war loans were COW
cred partly by the war chest and partly
by cash in hand at the Reichshauptkasse
Imperial treasury at the outbreak OF
the war. To this must be added the
surplus of the extraordinary budget OF
1914-r5. which, instead of the expected
81. 600. 900 marks (S14.500,0 1000, amount
cd to $4,000, 900 marks (s54,75O,OOO).
Beyond this, greater amounts must
be raised Professionally by discounting
imperial exchequer bonds at the
Reichsbank and private banks. The
sums expended remained within the
country with the exception Of unlm-
portant amounts"
Continuing, DR.. Helfferich declared
speculative business, which already nad
revived. had to be suspended, as all
available roney was needed by the
fatherland. Subscriptions to the third
war loan, he said, could be made
through the postoiice, and small SUP,
scribers for 1000 marks or less would
be permitted to pay in instruments

DR.. Helferich, discussing the war
expenditures of the various powers
said: c .o..1

COURTS DETERMINED
TO ENFORCE CAME LAWS
FINES ARE ASSESSED FOR
VIOLATION OF LAWS; GAME
WARDENS ARE ACTIVE

Antlers Okla, May l9.-What is
thought to be the beginning Of a
campaign in MeCurtain and Pushma-
taha counties for the enforcement of
the game laws occurred here when
Tom Dickson yesterday was fined
Sl35 for having deer in his possess
ion unlarwully. w. Il Utterback
former law partifer Of Governor r. T.
Williams, and eight other well known
citizens of this neighborhood were
arrested on the same charge, but dis
charged.
McCurtain county probably has
more game than any other Oklahoma
county, and the coming of foreign
hunters there in large Numbers has
led to the most open violation of the
game laws. For years the officers
in this county could not be made to
arrest a man for violating the game
laws. The public sentiment was in
favor of the violation. Now rewards
are being offered by citizens for ap-
prehension of violators.
