Hot Springs, Va, Dec. 21.-President
Wilson arose shortly after z a. M, to-
day and, after breakfasting in his pri-
vate apartments. began the task of
clearing up the volume of accumulated
personal correspondence, in order that
he and his bride might later play golf.
The president dictated responses to
messages of congratulation received
from rulers in Europe, South and Cen
trail America and from personal friends
in this country.
The day was ideal for go1fing and h
president and Mrs. Wilson had ar
ranged to spend several hours on the
links. The presidents bride is a devo-
tee of the game. the president having
taught her since they became engaged.
Every arrangement has been made
to allow h distinguished couple to
spend their honeymoon quietly. A sec
ton of the hotel was set apart for
them and secret service agents at
tempted to keep off a corps of photog-
raphers and moving picture operators.
Plan Quiet Two Weeks.
The distinguished couple, upon whom
the yes of the nation turned when
they were married in Washington,
came here to begin their married life
in the quiet seclusion of the mountains
of the state in which both of them
were born.
ulations from almost every part of the
world. Messages of good wishes came
from rulers of nations in Europe, presi-
dents of South and Central American
countries, governors of states, diplo-
mats, members of the Senate and
House, and justices of the supreme
court, and from scores of friends and
relatives. Many they will answer per-
sonally from here.
President Wilson and his bride
abandoned plans to play golf today
to reply to hundreds of messages OF
congratulation from personal friends,
relatives and officials.
Since reaching here the couple has
remained in C deep seclusion that
only members of their immediate
| party have seen them. They expected,
| however, to take an automobile ride
late today. Their private railroad car
was sent away today.
Arrangements for a Christmas cele-
| bration at the presidents hotel We're
begun today. There will be a large
Christmas tree and a special musical
entertainment. Members of the fam
flies of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson may
| come for the holiday but no definite
plans nave been made.
During the two weeks or more be-
| fore returning to Washington to take
up the official and social duties of the
White House, the couple will golf, mo-
tor and climb mountains together. and
as far as possible be protected from the
| prying eyes of the outside world.
Hot Springs n its colony of Wis
itors welcomed the president and his
bride enthusiastically. When the crowd
began a%pplauding at the station, the
president and Mrs. Wilson appeared to
be just as nervous as any newly mar
ried pair. They smiled at each other
and at the crowd, and the president
raised his hat. Then they walked brisk
iy to a waiting automobile, which had
been shipped ahead for their use.

Berlin Socialist Organ
Wants to KnOU Hou Huqe
War Debt Is To Be Paid

Amsterdam. (via London. Dec. 21.-
Reviewing the recent speech on Ger
many's financial condition which DR..
Karl Helfferich, secretary of the treas
ury. made before the ~reichstag, the So
cialist newspaper Vorwaerts, of Berlin,
asserts the time has come for the Ger
man government and the reichstag to
indicate in what way the money neces-
sary for payment of interest on the ma
tons gigantic war debts and to pro-
vide for their redemption, is to be
raised. 1t says:
with the new war credit of 10000
100000 marks. the German war debt
reaches 10000, 900, 900 marks. which, ac-
cording to DIR. Helfferich, should last
until the end of March. Interest on s0,-
000,G00,0 900 marks amounts to 1000, 000,-
600 marks annually and for redemption,
which is necessary in order to maintain
the credit of the empire, another $780,
100000 marks are needed"
The Vorwaerts considers it essential
that he empires income be more than
double to meet these obligations and
the current expenses. Before the war,
1t says, the financial state of Germany
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1915-12-23

was a source of anxiety to the goverE
ment. In 1909 taxation was increased
by. boo,00o,o00 marks, but the budget
did not balance. In 1913, the govern
ment adopted the extraordinary meas
ure OF taxing wealth and levying a
non-recurrent contribution for arma-
ment IN order to cover the deficit.
Maintenance of the existing fiscal
system, the Vorwaerts continues, is
impossible so far as taxation Of i'm
ports is concerned. Provisions, raw
materials and many other articles may
be expected to rise in price after The
war and ii the present tariff were con-
tinued it would lead to an artificial in
crease of prices for Germany, which
would undermine the capability Of Ger
man industry to compete in world
market.
Therefore, the interests of consum-
ers; and producers" the Vorwaerts con-
ciudes, demand abolition of these inn
port taxes after the war, which would
reduce Germany's income considerably;
and, therefore, the time has come for
the government to declare what course
it is Steering"

THE SOURCE OF SUCCESS.

The real elements OF success must
be generated within the man. Success
is mostly a creation of the mind.
Before we can succeed in anything
we must first frame the mind for sue
cess. Our thought must be of sue
cess, not failure
A stream cannot rise higher than
its source; and even a Raphael could
not paint the face of Christ, with
Satan in his mind for a model.
The mind that is unclouded by fear
and expected failure, that is discon-
tented with hand-to-mOuth existence
and eager to seize upon every passing
opportunity or advantage. is a pretty
safe pilot to success.
1t is yourself creates your own at
mosphere; and life. so far as YOU play
a part in il. is only a reflection of your
own thought and temperament. We
all look upon life through mists tent
ed by our own natures. 1t depends
upon nothing but ourselves whether
the tint be the rosy one of cheer
courage and success, or darkened to
gloom by our forebodings and low
aims
What is the practical difference?
Just this:
In the one case life looks bright and
joyous and fruitful, and in the other
cold and dreary and fruitless.
And what life looks To us. it is.
Through the one tint we see friend
ships. loves. hopes. efforts, successes; {;
through the other hates. envies,
malices. disappOintments. failures.
But the difference is only seeming q?
Not at all
IL is the most actual reality in this
world.
