Obstacles in Way of Peace

Germany and the United States, we pointed

essentials, the Berlin government backs down
completely from its former position, but its
surrender is so ungracious its tone trucu-
lent and its statements of facts so dis
ingenious that it is impossible to build hope
fully on so unstable foundation.
There will be no immediate rupture. be-
cause Germany already has issued to sub
marine commanders instructions that comply
with the demands of this country and with
the law Of nations and humanity. President
Wilson. having required that such orders be
given. must assume they will be obeyed. and
that the policy they embody will be con-
tnuous. But in his heart he can he none
too sure OF this. principal charge in his
last note was that German submarine COM
manders had utterly dsregarded the formal
pledges Germany had made That charge
cannot be disputed successfully. We shall
expect the new pledges to be observed I'D to
the point Berlin finds profitable and expedi-
ent-and no farther. We imagine this to
be the Presidents expectation.
There remains the case of the Sussex In
this Germany progresses to confession
through a series Of negations. At first the
hegation was absolute-no such vessel, Berlin
declared had been fired on by German SUBJ
marine. Then came the admission that a
vessel had been torpedoed at the time and

but 1t was said this was warship, and could
not have been the channel ferryboat because
a drawing made by the subma rine comma nder
differed from photograph Of the Sussex

Now the German government is alive to the
possibility that the ship mentioned in the
note of April 10, as having been torpedoed
by German submarine, is actually Identical
with the Sussex

TAXES WILL BE LARGER
Assessments on incomes This Year to
Exceed Those of Last-Returns
Now Being TabuIated.

Madison-That the receipts under
the state income tax law will be larger
this year than last year, and from
present indications will be larger next
year than ever before, was the gist of
a statement made by Nils p. Haugen,
chairman of the state tax commission.
While the returns have not all
been compiled, the figures indicate
that during the last part Of the year
1915 manufacturers were particularly
prosperous, and this prosperity shows
in the amount of income subject to
taxation, said Mr. Haugen. 1T may
be, however that the increase in the
tax will come largely from the corpo-
rations, as this prosperity has scarcely
reached the individual by that time.
The returns are now being tabulated
in the different counties Of the state
for the individual income taxes, and
these results will soon be available"
Mr.. Heugon said THAT from the
standpoint OF the manufacturer 1915
had been usually prosperous.
