JUST FOR EXAMPLE.

It requires no deep research of memory to recall the water condition that existed in Little Rock during a former period of high water on the upper Arkansas, from which the Cap ital City gets it's supply. The water in Little Rock was rendered unfit for use, as emphatically stated by the board of health of that city.
 Again the reports forecast extreme high waters along the upper Arkan. sas. IL Is sincerely hoped that Little Rock will be saved from recurrence of the condition that existed before.
 But here is the point. If our auto mobile highway were completed and in good condition between this city and Little Rock. We probably could under normal conditions have several hundred Little Rock families here to spend their summers. When the -wHr-r--~->dfrstons--in hittle Rock were extremely bad, ss they may be again, we could be of great service to Little Rock in that thousands of per sons residing in Little Rock might come to Hot Springs for the summer the business heads of the families having access to their business back in Little Rock over the highway
 Hot Springs is in need of business. There is opportunity all about us, but if is not being improved When times are dull" if one merely sits still times will grow worse. It is not absolutely essential to the future Of Hot Springs that this highway be opened, but if would help a whole lot in the scheme of prosperity, and none can deny this fact.

 A Petrograd official statement says the German losses on May 10, IL. F ana 18 averaged 10000 daily. and be- twd en May 16 and 19, amounted to man V tens of thousands daily.
 ThSt is the Petrograd report, and we ate led to believe that what Ger many and Austria lost in that conflict was n Iothing as compared to what Rus sia loe St.
 Theg are fighting in five theatres of war, and in single one of them, probably 50,00O souls are being sa- cIificed each day of fighting.
 The Petrograd claim may not be true. Germany tells nothing of what has been suffered in this fighting Russian losses are probably two u four to the enemy's one in that fight. ing, else they would not have been beaten back.

Commander SyminGton has been on

European war and has had an opportu-
nifty to secure a great fund OF information
as to the defense OF the British navy
against submarines and other new fea-
lures of naval warfare that have been de-

understanding that he make a personal

Not the City of the Rich.

Those members of the House of Representa-
tivcs who are so fond of describing Washington
as the city of the rich, cvading payment of their
lust share of taxes, municipal, State and Fed
eral, in ways or less vaguely explained, may
be depended upon to scrutinize carefully the annual
report of the Commissioner OF Internal Revenue.
Defenders of the interests OF the city against the
onslaughts of statesmen who would pile upon it
a heavier burden of taxation will be scarcely less
interested in the information made public by the
Commissioned showing in groups the incomes of
the aSSo residents OF the $4,000 in the District of
Columbia who paid into the National Treasury last
fiscal year S37S,673 in income tax. And last, and
,ossbly the individual most to be feared, the COL
lector OF internal for this district is likely
to make critical analysis of the figures.
No one will be surprised to learn that there is
one resident OF Washington whose annual income
is in excess of 100000 that two receive over
$4,000 : over 100000, over SI5o,ooo IL over
100000, I3 over S75,ooo 80 over S5o,ooo % over
$4,000, IS over $4,000, s. over $4,000, o2 over
$4,000, las $4,000, and 35I $4,000.
This makes only total of 787 persons out Of
10000 whose annual incomes exceed $4,000.
Probably not even Representative Ben Johnson or
his associates and followers would call rich those
whose incomes are less than $4,000 a year; and of
the Asso of the population who made any income
tax returns at ALL 4,oo3 belong in this class. In
the entire District, according to the Commission
er's report, there only I,64S persons with in
comes between $1,000 and $4,000, 1857 who re-
ceivc between $4,000 and S5,ooo and 1888 reeeiv-
ing between $1,000 and $4,000. Only one person
in about seventy receives or earns enough to re-
ouire him to pay income tax, and OF the sixty
nine who are exempt it is not difficult to estimate
the number whose yearly earnings below
S. ooo S15oo, or ST 900, when the salaries
paid by the government to its $4,000 more civil
employees in this city taken into considerations
In the Capital of the United States it ap-
pears there only 787 persons who can, even
by a liberal construction Of the word, be ac-
counted rich at least only that number pay
taxes on incomes in excess of $4,000. Presuma-
bly they also pay their share OF municipal taxes
If they do not, the other 339,2I3 inhabitants Of

Portable circumstances, not likely to nterpose
objections if Representative Johnson and his val
liant supporters seek to compel the luckIess 7S7 to
fork UP.
Clearly ii the revenue collector has done his
full duty Washington is not the city OF the rich
The figures, showing how very few there are in
Washington who receive more than enough
to live on comfortably and modesty NAV be
surprising, but they will not shake our confidence
in the honesty of fclow-citizens, even when
dealing with official SO unpopular as the tax
collector; and until furnished with the proof
that neighbors tax dodgers, VIC shall refuse
to believe that the Capital is haven of refuge for
the plutocrat.

Eliminating Austrian Diplomacy.

To those familiar with diplomatic phraseology
lit appears probable that the State Department
does not expect and does not want favorable
reply from the Austro- Hungarian government. No
doubt the failure Of that government to answer
the inquiries made to it some time ago concern
ing the Ancona case is partially responsible for
and entirely justihes the abrupt tone of the uti-
matum just sent. There may however, be other
reasons for it.
The administration has quite likely made up its
mind that, in view of the close relations of the
German and Austro- Hungarian governments, It IS
unnece ssary for them to have more than one en-
bassy at Washington, or more than one set OF con-
sular officers in New York elsewhere. Up to
the present time the actual diplomatic work has
been done by Count Won BernstorH, the rest of his
official family and the whole Of the Austro-Hu
garian diplomatic staff having devoted their ener-
sies to unneutral actions of the kind that have Al
ready caused the recall of DR.. Dumba and Capts
Papen and Boy-Ed, and which may have impressed
the State Department with the imperative neces-
sity OF getting rid OF the rest of the Central En-
pres' political and commercial representatives.
Naturally it will save this country deal of trou-
bic if the entire Austrian contingent can be evicted
at one fell swoop. And the Aneona case seems to
that desired result.
Moreover, the State Department has apparently
resolved to put an instant stop to the game OF
passing the buck" that the Central Empires have
shown such fondness for. There is really little
doubt that the Ancona was sunk by a submarine
German in everything but the flag shown. But
the State Department cannot prove that. 1t
cam however, make it admirably clear that Aus
trias responsibility is to be not whit less than
Germany's would be under the circumstances. and
that is what it has done. If Austria expected
to begin the diplomatic exchange process dc novo
she has received rude shock.
But will Austria take naughty attitude and
thus play into the hands OF the State Department.!
1t is to be feared that she will not Our prophecy
is that she will take the position that the sub
marine in question has disappeared and that on
the basis of the truth of the statements Of fact
made by the State Department she cannot but dis
avow the act and agree to pay an indemnity. Then
she will be in exactly the same position as Ger
many was after disavowing the Arabic case, in
which it will be remembered the submarine also
conveniently disappeared.
So much for diplomacy. That the people of
the United States earnestly anxious to be rid
of the Central Empires their brutality, their con-
spracies against the laws OF the United States and
apparent And be rid of them will before long.
The State Department has in its possession ample
evidence to justify the step and for one cause or
another and in response to the great weight OF
public opinion that step will soon be taken.
