Germany Tired of War.

A Berlin dispatch says: Women
fiocked to the churches and men shook
hands in the street Tuesday. when the
peace proposal was announced. The
note was read Tuesday to all reserves
and troops resting behind the front.
Soldiers at the front or on the way to
and from the trenches read it on the
bulletin boards. II was received with
spontaneous shouts of Joy, tempered
later by doubts as to whether the en-
tentes will agree to peace cow. 1t is
generally agreed that if the proposal
is rejected fighting will continue with
renewed vigor.

posed law, becomes one Of the most
powerful bodies in Kentucky. Its
duties are far reaching. Aside from
passing on the work Of county super
visors who have gone over the books
of their own county assessor, the
commission may raise the rate in any
particular county. TIL commission
also has the power to single out any
corporation, which in the belief Of the
commissioners, has not turned in all
of its holdings for assessment and af-
ter making an investigation add to the
list already taxed the items which
have been held out. II is also within
the power of the commission to fine
each and every corporation or prison
who withholds goods from ..le coun-
ty assessor.
Another feature of the proposed act
is as to corporation, small tax
whose be imposed upon alldepositors
in all banks. 1t is suggested that the
banks pay this tax. II is believed by
financial men that banks will use this
provision IN their campaigns for de-
positors. BY offering to pay the tax
on deposits it is believed banks would
be able to secure many more deposits
than formerly.
The activities of the present tax
commission, which has served
without remuneration, has lasted
since the session of the last Legisla-
ture in 1916. The commissioners
have studied the taxation laws Of many
states and they believe that the pro-
posed law will not only relieve the
situation in the state but will be the
cause of many new industries coming
to Kentucky. The commission also
agree that under the proposed law
that the present debt of the state will
soon be liquidated.

RAISES LIVING COST
Waste Tremendous and Armies

The war is blamed by Secretary Of
Commerce Redfield as the chief factor
in causing a % per cent increase In the
cost of living.
There Is waste in war;" Mr.. Red
field said in an interview on present
economic conditions. THE men in the
trenches are using more shoes, more
hats and more clothing than they do
in normal times.
Meat demand has grown because
the millions OF men I'm the field. living
In the open demand more meat than
usual. There Is an increase in the
demand. therefore. in addition to the
shortage in supply.
There Is a shortage In the supply
of'wheat in the United States, the sup
piles of Hungary and Roumania are
not available and the Russian wheat
crop Is choked up. This accounts for
the flour increase.
THE increased price movement Is
worldwide. Conditions everywhere are
abnormal. Half the world Is at war,
and the old order of things Is upset.
It is a very natural consequence that
prices should advance"
Secretary Redfield said the salaried
worker Is hardest hit because the wage
Garner. to some extent, and the farmer
and business man get higher wages
or higher prices to meet the increased
cost.

Hyattsvile Has Mem
Signal for Fire Alarm
Dulcet Tone of Bell Is Stilled and Shrill Sound of
Whistle Is Heard When Home or Business
Section Is Threa tened by Flames.

The bell was struck by a hammer and
operated by electrical connection from
the offices Of the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company, across the
street from the city hall. The bell was
but part Of q complete alarm system
put In by private subscription.
The question OF alarms had been agi-
tated for some time. and the bell or
whistle question had been raised. The
town council was about to pass an
ordinance creating such a system
when. presto. an Injunction was filed
ON the city's moneys preventing their
expenditures for such rash purposes.
Raised $1,0s9 Subscription.
Then M. F. Halioran. a well-known
resident Of the Maryland citadel and
an examiner In the Civil Service Com
mission. was appointed a committee of
one by the council to raise a subscrip-
ton for obtaining such an alarm sys-
tenn: He got to work. and was cor
dents. The desired amount-N. Ose-was
quickly pledged and the system in
stalled. Half the money was paid in
the bank.
Then came the hitch. The bell would
ring-but Its tones were not heard much
more than a stones throw away. And
the bell and whistle controversy ragged
once more in Lill-no, Hyattsyille II
was decided regretfully by the COM
mittee that the hoarse screech of a
mundane whistle would replace the
dulcet tones OF a musical bell. But the
beautiful bell can be seen from the win
dows OF the passing street cars.
