England Needs Easement
Dead; Germany Needs
DIR. Liebknecht Alive.

The lord chief justice of England made
quick work in summing up the trial of
Sir Roger Easement.
He instructed the jury that if any Of
the six overt acts was proved 70 have
been committed, the prisoner was guilty
Of treason, even though his Interior mo-
tive might be good.
In opposition to this is the lenient sem
tence passed by the German court
against DIR. Karl Liebknecht for attempt
ed high treason, gross INSTRUMENTATION
and resistance to the authorities.
Sir Roger is condemned to death.
DR.. Liebknecht's sentence is thirty
months imprisonment and dismissal from
the army
The cases are not exactly alike, but
the awful discrepancy between the pun
ishment for the two is such as to make
one consider.
Sir Roger Easement is convicted of
having attempted to head a rebellion
against the British government in Ire
land and to have been more or less IN
league with the German government for
the return of Irish prisoners taken by
Germany during the war.
This Sir Roger emphatically denies and
Il was not proven.
He says that Germany had nothing
whatever to do with the rebellion which,
HE al other Irish rebellions, was from
purely patriotic motives.
Indeed he said;
"In England alone in the twentieth
century, loyalty to ones country is held
to be q crime.
IF It is treason to fight under such
circumstances, then am proud to be
4 rebel"
Against this courageous stand is that
Of the Irish soldier, Bailey, who landed
with Easement from a German subma-
rine and who Immediately gave impor-
\ tant evidence to the crown and thereby
saved his neck.
Lieblnecht is said by the German
court to have been guided by political
fanaticism and not by unpatriotic feel
ings."
Which entitled him to lenient treat
ment--the most lenient the court could
give.
But there are other reasons for the
difference.
Ireland is proving too difficult propo-
sition for Great Britain.
Even now there is crisis in the cabi-
net over the Irish question.
We are told that the Marquis of Lans-
downe and Walter Hume Long, president
\ Of the local government board, have &C
tuAlly resigned. There is belief that
: Lord Robert Cecil, minister of war trade,
will be one of the ministers to resign.
David Lloyd George has framed an
Irish compromise which may possibly
1 avert rupture.
1t provides for the exclusion of six
counties of Ulster from the operation of
Irish home rule for the period Of the
war.
With such situation on its hands.
England wants to take strong measures
against any rebel in Ireland.
She doubtless fears Sir Roger as long
rs he is alive. even though securely
]orkcd in prison.
She believes that she is safer and near.

GLASS WAS EXPENSIVE

That observation car would have done credit to any railroad in the world. A Japanese fellow passenger, an official in the Japanese Ministry of Communications, was amused at our expressions of delight.
 "Of course this is all very recent" he explained. Five years ago we had nothing like this. Forty-five years ago there was not a single car nor a single mile of track in the whole Of Japan. Why" he laughed, "I can remember the first jerky little trains that were pun on the first line to be opened-the one between Toxio and Yokohama. Glass was 8 new thing to the Japanese, and there were . great many windows broken and heads bumped during those first few weeks. Passengers persisted in trying to put out their heads without first raising the windows. Finally the glass-smash- ing became so expensive, and there were so many complaints over bruised and cut heads, that the company was forced to paint a white bar on every window to teach passengers the na- ture of glass"
 Which story we could appreciate, for we had already noticed, in the corner of a railroad yard, a little old car with white bars painted across the. windows. Some of these cars, our companion told us, are still used as hird-class conveyances on newly. op- ened branch lines-for there are still parts of Japan where the people do not quite understand glass yet.-The Christian Herald.

ASK BOND ISSUE. TO PAY COST OF
 CALLING TROOPS
One of $13O,O00,OOO Is Proposed to Meet the Expenses Due
 to Mexican Crisis.

Washington, Aug. 1S-In a. state- ment made to the Senate committee on finance yesterday, the Treasury De- partrnent estimates that the govern ment's expense for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1917, will aggregate $1,- 126, 6,243,000, inclusive of $130.000,0 900 caused by the Mexican situation and the mobilization of the National Guard on the border. The $13O,00O,00O, it is estimated, will pay the expenses of border service and civilization only to Dec. 31. 1916, and if the conditions growing out of the Mexican situation continue beyond that time an addi- tional expenditure of $S6,000,000 will be necessary.
 No provision for meeting this extra- ordinary expenditure has been made in the general revenue bill, passed by the House last month and reported to the Senate by the finance commit tee yesterday. In submitting a for nal report on the bill, Democratic members of the finance committee say that in their opinion, concurred in by the Treasury Department, the $780, 0OO,000, on account of the Mexican situation, should be financed by q bond issue.
 The Treasury Department estimates that the receipts of the government for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1917, will be $762,000, 900, making the excess of disbursements over receipts $364, 4,243,0O0. Of this excess amount due to the preparedness legislation and the Mexican situation, $205,000,- 900 will bSf realized during the year, it is estimated, by the increased taxa ton provided for in the general rev. enue bill about to be enacted. De- ducting the expenses incident to the Mexican situation. there remains a | deficit of $29,234, ,000.. This, the finance committee says, can safely be taken from the general fund of the Treas
 ury, which at the close of business yesterday, amounted to $134,337, 1895.
 Temporary Treasury Payments. In the meantime the current ex- penses of the National Guard mobiliza- ton and other expenses incident to the Mexican situation will be paid out of the Treasury. but, as was explain ed by Chairman Simmons of' the Sem ate finance committee, in the expecta- ton that the extraordinary expendi- lures. on account of conditions along the border will be paid for by a bond issue.
 In their report on the revenue bill I the majority members of the finance l committee say:

 for the present fiscal year, other thar | for these extraordinary expenses, i: not beyond the normal increase" Sharp issue with this statement ii 1 taken by the Republican members o1 I the finance committee in a minority
