DENIES YPRES TITLE
BELONGS TO FRENCH
Widow of General Moussy Pro-
tests, Insisting Her Husband
Saved Day for Allies.

Paris, Jan. 9.-The widow OF General
Moussy, OF the French army, has writ
ten from Brest 20 "L'Eclair' saying
that she "does not wish 70 let history
be falsifed," ard as her husband Is
no longer alive to vindicate his claims
she wishes TO enter objection to the
assumption Of the title of Viscount Of
Ypres by Field Marshal Sir John
French, on the ground that il was Cen
eral Moussy who saved Ypres on No
vember 6. 1914.
The widow asserts the facts were
that General Moussy. commanding the
33d Brigade of French Infantry, by the
desperate resistance OF his detachment,
sent 70 Zillebeke on October 81 to the
relief of tho British az Ypres, and By
his stoical, calm and tenacious atti-
tude. treasured the British, who re-
gained confidence, thus arresting the
German advance and preventing the
Germans from reaching Calais by his
decisive Intervention.
Again, the generals widow says that
II was on December 6, az the head Of
a little troop of about $50 men Of al
arms, got together in haste by General
Noussy's staff, that the general
charged when the German attempt 70
pierce the line at Ypres was made,
routed two Bavarian regiments, and
in the end saved Ypres by capturing
Hill No. GO. between Sewartelen and
Z!liebeke, thus rendering the march
on Calais impossible. on the evening
of October 81 General Haig called on
General Moussy, she adds, shook hands
with him and thanked him for the
precious aid he had given the English
army"
In further support of her claim In
behalf of her late husband the widow
quotes letter 70 General Moussy
from General Haig, dated January ?,
1915. thanking General Moussy for the
conduct of his troops at Ypres and
adding: at was really very critical
moment, and it was only this touching
camaraderie which assured the Allies
success"

CHINA, FACING DEFICIT,
MUST MAKE NEW LOAN
Poor System Of Taxation Chief
Cause of Conditions.

Picking. Dec. lon the completion
Of the Chinese Republics fifth year
budget a possible deficit Of about $780,
100000 Mexican (Ss,OOO,O0O gold is
shown. The government will therefore
be obliged 70 raise a fifth year domestic
loan in 1915, and the amount OF this
probably will be about S24,OO0,OOO
Mexican (s9,6O0OOO).
President Yuan Shih-ksi and his
Cabinet have repeatedly stated that
they were making efforts to cut down
expenditure. However, the spirit OF
unrest in various parts OF China has
made necessary a greater military ex-
penditure than had been contemplated:
The income from the salt gabelle and
from import and export taxes is show
ing a healthy increase, but is not sum
cient TO meet expenditure.
The lack of Capitalization in the
Chinese government makes 1t impossi-
bic for the Ger trail government 10 col
lect the great amount of revenue yield
cd by the provinces One of the chief
points urged by the Chinese newspa-
pers in support of Chlna's entrance
into the Entente is that, with foreign
cooperation. it could throw off the
tyranny of its provincial officers and
realize the taxes its wealth yields.
Taxation o. China is controlled
LARGELY by the within OF local officers.
The hold Of the central government on
distant officials is so slight and the
various officers are so thoroughly in
trenched in their own neighborhoods
that il Is impossible 70 reform the tax
system.
Chinese magistrates show ingenuity
in inventing names for various taxes.
Every teashop keeper is required TO
nav a cup contribution for every cup
If tea sold. Weavers must pay con-
tribution upon every loom. Restaurant
keepers are forced 10 pay tax on
every table. There are laws preventing
magistrates from imposing taxes at
will. but the officials escape these by
calling the various levies contribu-
lions, Retailers and small dealers who
desire to remain in business know they
cannot resist the tyranny OF the local
officials. and submit 10 their imposl-
tons. In many parts OF CHINA the
taxes are reported to have become
ruch more burdensome under the re-
public than they were under the Man
cbus. Consequently many small de@l'
ers and farmers are SAID TO ta'of inc
restoration of the monarchy.

SOCIALISTS BACK KAISER
Condemn Deputies Who Opposed Credits
-Dlsown The Norwaerts."

Amsterdam, Jan. o.-Dispatches from
Berlin say that the executive commit
tee Of tho Socialist party has adopted,
2s TO II, n resolution censuring twenty
Socialist members Of the Reichstag
who Attempted 20 thwart tho party
policy by declining 10 vote In favor OF
the war credits" Tho resolution says
that the behavior OF Deputy Hugo
Hnasc, who resigned recently ~ presi-
dent OF tho peace faction Of the Social
ist party. "is especially deserving OF
the severcst condemnation" The reso-
luton also declines TO accept In the
future "The Vorwaerts" rs the official
ORGAN Of the Socialist party.
"'rhe Vorwaerts,' says the resolu-
ton. docs not fulAl its duty as tho
mouthpiece Of the party. II has en-
couraged endeavors which aim TO dis
organize the party. The newspaper,
therefore, forfeits every right TO be re-
garded as the party's central organ"

SOCIALISTS REFUSE CROSS.
Consider Acceptance of Bavarian Deco
ration Incompatible with Principles.

Berlin, Jan (by wireless to Say
Vile. y. Y).1"Several Socialists were
recently awarded the Ludwig Cross by
King Ludwig Of Bavaria for specially
meritorious services performed in the
bour of their country's need" says the
Overseas News Agency. THE Social
lists fully recognized the friendly spirit
which prompted the Kings act and
thanked him cordially for the distinc-
ton, but declined the decoration pc
cause they considered acceptance OF II
incompatible with the principles Of
their party as officially expressed IN
resolutions.
"The Socialist newspaper, the 'Mu-
Mich Post. in chronicling the action
of the Socialists, adds that they CON
slider work for their couEtry's welfare
a duty. an especially sacred duty in
exceptional times, and one TO be per-
formed without asking reward"

ADOPTION OF DRAFT
SEEN AS WEAKNESS
German Paper Contends British
Government Is Strong, but
COmpulsion VIII Fail.

Amsterdam, Jan. 9.-"The carrying OF
the compulsion bill Is the first sign OF
the actual weakening of England, al
though, on tho other hand. 1t is proof of
the strength Of the government and the
tenacity Of English character says the
"Frankfurter Zeitung," which coniin-
ues:
"This apparent contradiction Is ex-
planned as follows. Despite strong
counter currents. the English govern
ment has got what II wanted. This Is a
sign of strength But that the govern
ment was obliged TO want it Is q sign o.
the weakening OF England so far as her
position with the Entente Is concerned.
II Is clear that England would never
have come to such decision. which Is
IN opposition to her traditions and pO-
litical principles, II she were not
obliged 10 do so above all for political
reasons connected with her relations
with the Allies"
The paper expresses the belief that
the application Of compulsion will be
without influence on the issue Of the
war.
London, Jan. e.-Englsnd's internal
affairs are quiet, pending the reassem
bling of Parliament. There will be a
full dress debate on the compulsion bill
Tuesday. with David Lloyd George, Min
lister of Munitions, and Arthur liender-
son. Labor member, who has just re-
signed from the Cabinet, as the prob
able star speakers. Sir Henry Dalziel,
who has been one Of the most consist
ent critics OF the government, will also
give his reasons why he supports the
government on this matter.
The Labor party will meet early IN
the week 20 consider its position. I'M
less. however, opposition TO the bill de-
velops a strength of which there IS no
indication now, there seems small like
lihood that the government Will feel
the need to appeal 70 the country.
