GERMANY TO MAKE

EXPENSE OF WAR
Financial Writers Show How War
Debts May Be Met Without Dis
turbing Market Conditions

Berlin, August 2s.--CBy wireless TO
ille)-The Overseas News agency
says:
George Bernhard. one of Germanys
best known financial writer's, in the
Vossische zeitung says the recent state
ment by DR.. Karl Helfferich, the Ger
many minister of finance. that the enc
mics of the central powers would have
to pay the larger part of German, Aus
trian and Turkish war. expenses coulc
be more easily put into effect than is
believed by many pessimists. Germany,
he points out, holds wide strips of val
liable land to the east and to the west.
If these lands are returned to their for
mer owners they must pay the price
fixed by the victors. If the territory
be retained it would increase the ma
tional wealth and the actual amoui,t of
tax receipts. The refined financial tech
nique of modern times. he argues,
would permit arrangements for the pay
ing off of such war debts without dis
turbance Jof the money market"

STATE LEGISLATORS
RENEW WORK AFTER

Yesterday Dull at Capitol,
But Lively Times Are
Scheduled for
Today
Nv L. $. RETTY

MONTGOMERY, August Especially }
Owing to the absence from the city
of a large number of legislators, to-
circles since the present session be-
gan. A number of committee meetings
had been scheduled. but none of them
could be held. Only a bare quorum
could be obtained for the meeting of
the finance and taxation committee this
afternoon.
However II is expected that there
VIII be enough stirring" tomorrow to
make up for today's inactivity. The
senate will renew consideration of the
revenue bill and the house will stage
the long promised fight on the wom-
an suffrage bill. Again, Ii is possible
that there win be an effort to pass
the attorney general bill over the gov
ernors veto and another effort may
be made to have the new proposed pub
lie health bill set as special order.
That the woman suffrage measure
will be considered is assured and both
sides are claiming victory AS indicated
in The Age-Herald today. the sup
enough promises to assure the pass
age of the bill
1t is doubtful il the senate will com
plete consideration of the revenue bill
tomorrow. though IL is believed that
the most important fight has been
staged, that granting exemptions to
water power companies and other in
FAINT industries for limited period.
Important Fight
Probably the most important fight
in the senate tomorrow Will be on
the right of the governor to name
without confirmation. the members of
the state board of equalization In lieu
of the state tax commission 1t is more
than likely that the administration
will win this contest
On the whole, 1t is believed tomorrow
Will be fruitful of many results so far
as the legislature is concerned.

LITTLE HOPE FOR THE
Liner MAROWDNE
Officials Declare Overdue
Vessel Probably Has
Foundered

New Orleans, August 23.-Although Of
ficials of the United Fruit company to-
night still entertained hopes that the COM
pany's liner Marowijne. overdue one week
here from Belize, British Honduras, yet
may be heard from. local marine men, In
view Of today's Developments as regards
the search for the vessel, declared the
steamer probably had foundered. The
Marowijne had aboard q passengers and
a crew of 65 when she left Belize Friday,
August 10.
The liners Abangareze and Cartago or
dered to search the Cuban coast for the
missing vessel, reported by wireless today
that they had been. unable to discover any
trace of the steamer and that they had
sighted no wreckage. The liner Coppe-
anne, which arrived here today from Re-
lize, skirted the Mexican coast on ner
way north, but Captain Whidden reported
that he had found nothing that would M
dicate the fate of the ship.
Captain Whidden on his way south to
Belize exchanged radio messages with the
Marowijne the day after the latter left
Belize for New Orleans. He was In COM
munication with the steamer until i:W
o'clock In the afternoon. when the ex-
change of messages ceased because OF the
Marowijne to respond to calls from tho
Coppename. Shortly before that time
Captain McLaren of the Marowijne had
reported all well aboard.
The center of the hurricane which de-
vastated the Texas coast reached the Tu-
catan channel late that day and crossed
directly the course which the Marowijne
was following. Captain Whidden said.
The vessel then should have been IN the
narrowest and most treacherous part Of
the passage. 3N
Captain Whidden, who for. many years
has been operating In the gulf, declared
that In his opinion the only hope for the
safety Of the MarowijDe was that size
had been driven over the reefs into the
deep water OF the Cuban coast. Insta nces
have been recorded where small vessels
had been blown over the reefs to safety
Captain Whidden said, but he asserted
that II the Marow.jne struck them with
the wind blowing from the southwest 1t
would have been impossible for her to
have held together.

Washington. August 23.-F0ur days
have passed since German subma-
rsne sank the White Star liner Arabic
with the loss of two American lives
and the American government still In
without detailed and official informa-
tion necessary to shape its course.
The only development today was a
break in the official silence Mt the
White House. Secretary Tumulty, aft
er comforting with President Wilson,
issued this statement:
''As soon as all the facts regarding the
Arabic are ascertained, our course of ao-
ton will be determined
Secretary Lansing declared that all the
information so far in the hands of the
state department was fragmentary and
that details still were being sought AM
bassador Page at London, who had for
warded by mail detailed statement, was
instructed to send Immediately sum
mary by cable. Some dispatches were re-
ceived from him. but they were not made
public, as 1t was understood the depart
inent was unWliilnS 10 give out matter
it considered incomplete.
The United States had clearly expressed
It's opposition to the destruction of mer-
chant ships without warning and had
pointedly warned Germany against repe-
tition of such tragedies in which Amer
leans are involved.
1t is assumed that unless Germany
wishes to make an outright issue with the
United States some explanation will be
volunteered. Acting with that thought,
Ambassador Gerard was instructed today
to report whether he had received re-
port from the German government lie
was not, however. Instructed to ask for
one.
1t is said the state department will not
necessarily wait indefinitely on Germany
before taking whatever action is decided
on, neither does it intend to invite or en-
courage argument. All 1t wants now are
the facts
When these are assembled and Officials
are convinced their evidence is properly
substantiated, President Wilson will lay
the case before the cabinet.
