The Jews took a practical view OF

place. and in which all nations were

Wherefore God highly exalted Him
far above angels, making Him par

Many who see this much fail to gel

Messiah's Kingdom Begun.
Many Bible students claim that, ac-
cording to the prophecies, Messiah's
Kingdom began in 1878. They claim
that while its chief activities have
been in respect to the Church-the
harvesting of the wheat, the separat-
ing Of the tares. etc.-nevertheles II
has had a worldwide influence also
in that during this time God has been
lifting the veil of ignorance and
showing mankind invaluable me-
chanical and chemical secrets. which
undoubtedly will increase in the near
future, when the Messianic Kingdom
shall have been fully inaugurated. al
the close of the great Time Of Trou-
BILE. already beginning in Europe and
Mexico.
Amongst other indications of the
Kingdom influence, Bible students
point to the wonderful progress
along the lines Of temperance. The
wave Of prohibition which has spread
voluntarily over many of the States
OF the American Union has been sup
plemented by the necessities of wal
in Foreign countries. We must moi
expect too much along these lines
We must expect more or less OF re-
action. especially in the case Of SO
sudden turn as the war brought
upon Europeans.
Indeed. evidence Is not wanting
that the first fervor of prohibition in
Europe is reacting We had similar
experiences in America, but we per-
ceive that as a whole the world is
moving onward in this respect. The
movement against narcotics also
tends in the right direction, as dc
also the exposures of vice and the les
sons given respecting the terrible
penalty of vice. as witnessed in the
now well-recognized fact that syphil-
lis stops brain development and gem

FAVORS TAXATION
OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
Otherwise Loss in Revenues Would Have
To Be Made Up in Unfair Taxa
ton Of Other Property.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE question
whether public utilities should be as
sessed for taxation by public service
commissions occupied some OF the atten-
ton of the national conference on taxa
tion here to-day, +. N. Fletcher of Reno,
New, former member of the Nevada
state tax commission, sketched the de-
velopment of the public utilities, allud'
ing to "the startling efficiency now shown
as compared with the previous wasteful
Individual effort" and said that this eff
cheney was carrying with it enormous
profits to which the public had paid lit
tie attention.
He dismissed the suggestion that pub
lie utilities under strict regulation should
not be taxed at all by noting that in
such case part of the public would be
benefited at the expense of larger part
not served Of the utility and the loss in
taxes would have to be made up by other
property on wholly unfair proportion.
The same reasoning, he contended, would
apply to municipal ownership under
which cheapening of rates to a small
portion of the community would give
them an unfair advantage over the tax
payers generally. "No one is injured by
keeping the tax on" he said, "but al
ways the many aye injured for the bene-
fit OF the few by taking it off.
Assuming then that the public utili-
ties should be taxed, the question arises
as to the amount of the tax and wheth-
err the valuation should be the same for
tax as for rate purposes. No difficulty
arises in the trained mind in ascribing a
different vahle for each purpose, as rates
are largely based on what is put into
the property as investment while taxes
are assessed on what is taken out as in
come. One is an investment value, the
other an income on market value. Tn
der constant and proper regulation the
two would tend to come together, as the
fixing Of rates is the chief factor in the
market value of utility"
He held that as the questions require
expert analysis of facts and as the same
set of facts must be used for both rate
and tax purposes, the same expert body
of public service commissioners could
we'll determine both issues.

BLAMES ENGLAND AGAIN.
German Press Says She Was RESPONSE
Bile for the War.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-THE following items
were given out for publication yester-
day BY the Overseas News agency:
sThe Vossische Zeitung and the Ber-
liner Tageblatt comment at length on
the latest official publication of Belgian
diplomatic reports found in Brussels.
They say these documents prove con-
clusively that England prepared system
atcally for the great European war by
drawing closer and closer the previous
ly loose meshes of the diplomatic and
political net about Germany, frustrat-
ing all attempts of the German emper-
or's government TO maintain peace. Eng
land is the real INSCRIPTIONS criminal
who plunged the world into carefully
prepared war for the most selfish mo-
tiye-envy and fear--and as an enemy
prepared plans directed against the safe
ty OF German troops and Germany's
industrial and commercial developments.
1T is the conviction of German Off
Gals that the military negotiations be-
gun by the British military attache at
Brussels. Col Nathaniel w. Barnardis-
ton, were private conversations between
military men. which we're shared by Bel
giAn diplomatists.
"The Nossische says that the moral
responsibility for the colossal slaughter
rests almost entirely upon highlands
shoulders.
After the army Of Prince Leopold Of
Bavaria occupied Warsaw a proclams-
ton was issued announcing that the
Germans would preserve order and the
public peace and would conduct war only
against hostile armies and not against
peaceful citizens The prince a. mat

az hostages the heads Of the civil ad-
ministration and some other prominent
citizens The inhabitants Of the city
may protect the lives Of these hostages
by informing the German military au-
thorities Of al hostile places which
might sndanger the troops. These pre-
cautionary measures were taken 10 pre-
