BIG LUMP OF BACK-TAX COIN
MAY COME FROM SUITS

Since Oct 1 more than $25, 900 has
been collected in delinquent personal
property taxes through the courts by
States Atty Hoyne's Office.
This, is more than one-half of the

courts in the entire year of 1912.
Within a few weeks the supreme
court will hand down many important
decisions on the enforcement of the
tax laws. If favorable, Hoyne will
pour hundreds of thousands of dol
lars into the county treasury by suits
against hundreds of corporations and
thousands of individuals who are la

LONDON. June l2.--In a two-column
tribute to President Wilson. Alfred G..

says:

Wilson is not merely the first citizen
of the United States, but the first
citizen Of the world. Vie makes mis-
takes. no doubt. for he is human. but
they never are the mistakes Of weak
man; they never are the mistakes of Il
political gambler, or one touched by
sordid motives of ambition.
Emperor William has made many
miscalculations about nations and men.
but his greatest miscalcula;ion was in
regard TO Mr.. Wilson and the United
States. Incidentally, there also has
been much misconception on the same
subject in this country. Throughout
the war his attitude has conformed to
the historic tradition OF the United
States OF nonintcrvention in European
affairs. but he realizes the world has
changed. and the United States can no
longer remain hermetically scaled.

son and Mr.. Bryan vii! be one of the
great landmarks of the war. 1t is a
mercy for the United States that in
the nomination struggle the amiable
dreamer was defeated by the states
man. In refusing to yield an inch on
the rights of american citizens, Presi-
dent Wilson is defending the sacred
ark OF freedom. He Will not go to war
if war can be avoided with honor. but
the integrity of the United States is
his supreme concern. and il is safe in
his hands"

JAPAN HALTED WAR SUPPLIES
Rcason for Sudden Collapse of Victori-

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE sudden
collapse of the victorious westward
march OF the Russian armies was d-
rectly attributab BILE to the recent crisis
between China and Japan. according to
Information which has reached diplo-
matte circles here.
Al the beginning of the war Russia
is said to have turned 10 Japan for war
material. japan was in position to

cannon, after the successful siege OF

GERMAN PR|NCESsEs
D|sAPP0|NT KAISER
Never Again Will He Attempt to
Make Friends for Germany by
Royal Marriages.
ONLY ONE REMAINS LOYAL
Queen of Greece Has Done Well Her
Part for Native Land, but All
Others Have Stood Staunchly by
Husbands.

Especial Cable to The Times Dispatch
ROTTERDAM. June 1.-THE bitter
enmity TO their native country dis
played by German princesses wed to
foreign sovereiSns. especially Queen
Elizabeth OF Belgium and the Czarina,
both of whom were German princesscs.
is said to have induced the Kaiser to
vow never again to attempt to make
friends for Germany through royal
marriages.
Discussing the subject with his staff
at the dinner table recently. the
Kaiser said according to a Strassburg
paper received here to-day:
MY German men always remain
loyal abroad and never forget the
duties they owe their Fatherland. but
German women are. unfortunately. diff
ferent. and too readily make their hus-
bands conviction their own. ! could
have wished the German princesses
married to rulers abroad to have
served the interests of their native
country in its hour of need"
The Kaiser evidently forgot that at
other times he has repeatedly main
tanned that a wife should have no
opinion on any subject but that of her
and soul.
What particularly digusts the Kaiser
is the failure OF German born Queens
to swing their royal husbands over to
the side of Germany. The Queen Of
Bulgaria is a Princess of Reuss the
Queen OF Holland Is of German origin
and married TO a German prince. the
Queen of Sweden is n Princess OF
Baden, and the Queen OF Denmark is
n sister to the German Crown Princess
but all of these women have become
loyal to their adopted countries. all Of
which are opposed to Germany.
The only German princess who has
not disappointed William is his own
sister. the Queen of Greece. who caused
her royal husband to deprive Greece
of the services of Premier Venizelos,
who favored an alliance with the
triple entente.
