FOOTING HE WAR BILL.

The statement by the vorwaerrs
that after the war the German lmper-
ial debt and pensions alone will de-
nland an expenditure of at least $685..
100000 annually, or a little less than
the ordinary and extraordinary I'm
perial expenditure for 1918, directs
attention to a phase that is probably
paraileled in some degree in all the
helligerent countries. This means
that the ordinary income OF the en-
pire will suffice to pay only the in
terest on the national debt. The ord
inary expenses OF the Government on
a peace basis will have to be met by
recourse to new sources Of taxation
or income in existing taxes.
The funds for the carrying on Of the
wal are not. OF course. being raised in
any Of the great nations by common
surate increase in taxation. That Is
im0ract!cabie. They are being pro-
vided by loans. France. for example.
has not levied a single increase in
taxes. While the war lasts it Is IN
likely there will be any attempt made
TO add to the tax burden. Thus the
people are not being impressed with
the personal presentation Of the bill.
The Government - borrowing the mo-
ney and spending millions like water.
III is all impersonai-tor the time be-
ing. But the piper will have to be
paid and the increase in taxation ne
cessitated b. interest and taking up
the war loans will come when peace
is restored. and the frenzy OF war
having passed there will be no stimu-
liant 10 dull the shock.
For the moment, If the warning
countries think at all Of how the bill
is to be paid, they console themselves
with the delusive hope that they will
be able to exact a sufficient indemnity
from the defeated enemy. They over
look the probability of the outcome
being a deadlock and a compromise
or mutual bankruptcy.-PittSburgh

WANE.

That many have been pleased to call a summer
NV less summer" is now on the wane and It will on
" be a short time until the cold breezes from
the north will be sweeping the country 1esterdaE S
wire reports brought the news that the middle west nao
been visited BY heavy irosts and that great damage had
been done 10 the crops in that section. The indications
are that we viii. have an early fall and a long winter;
but he who tries to predict the weather more than ten
minutes in advance is foolish, so We do not make this
statement as a prediction carrying any weight But
with all our "summeress summer" is has been a good
year for crops all over the country and the United States
will have a bumper crop in practically every line, which
NAV do some TO help brighten the darkened business
sky-darkened By the war cloud and the cloud OF de-
preston which is invariably connected with a Democratic
administration.
The people Of the United States may be ct least thank
full for one thing. as they contemplate the coming winter
our country has not so far become a party in the IN
ternational slaughter that has been going on lot over
a wear. While President Wilson has not made a success
~ his office in many respects, he has at least kept the
United States out OF war up to the present time al
though we have escaped the way demon on more tnan
one occasion through good luck rather than gooa )uos'
ment. II this country can remain free from war mere
is still at least one thing for which we may give tnanhs.
There is consolation In the fact that, bring forth what
II may. this will be about the last winter OF Democratic
administration for several years II the Democratc ieao-
ers can read at all. they must see the handwriting on the
vail in regard to their fate in 1916. Indications are that
the Republican party will sweep the country in the next
election and the Democrats will be buried under the Re-
nubliean landslide. OF course, the actual change from
democratic to Republican administration will not come
with the election next November; but the psychological
effect Of the election will be felt at once, SO that next
winter. while still awaiting the actual change Of admin
i~stratIons, we will be reaping the harvest OF 3 sweeping
Republican victory.

B PLAN REVIVED.
Washington Surprised at Won
Jnsow's Proposal mt Berlin.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Officials here
were somewhat surprised to-day to
learn that Gottlieb Won Jagow. German
Minister OF Foreign Affairs. in an inter-
view at Berlin had revived the proposal
made by Germany that the United States
get the consent OF Great Britain to the
restoration of a cable service etween
the United States and Germany on con-
dition that Germany pay the expenses of
the work and the United states act as
censor OF the cable.
This proposal was originally made to
Mr.. Gerard in February and was trans
mitted by him to Washington. On
March 3 the State Department sent a
copy Of Ambas sador Gerard's communi-
cation without comment to the British
Embassy. The British Government
never has made any reply to the Ger
man communication.
part in suggesting this plan and did not
make any effort to induce Great Britain
10 accept it. Officials here did not re-
gard 1t as feasible.
Aside from the apparent benefit which
this Government would derive from such
an arrangement many officials felt II
would be unwise for this Cove rnment to
have anything TO do with the matter.
II was pointed out that an Endorsement
OF the plan might later bring embarrass-
ments.
One possible result suggested was that
IL a censorship were established on a
cable to Germany the German Govern
ment would demand that cables to Eng
land and France be censored likewise
by the United states.
Another possibility was that the Ger
mans would thus create Il precedent
against the cutting of cables in time OF
war. a privilege which the United States
has taken advantage Of freely when 1t
has been a belligerent.
