 In her reply Queen wilhelmina pointed out that the. common bond between Holland and the Netherlands East Indies serves to promote the welfare of both, and its maintenance is an Indian interest.
 While the powers-that-be are thus non-committal in regard to counter concessions, leading Journals point out that Holland recognizes the rights of tho natives and already has entered upon the path leading to self-Tovern- ing institutions, the latest step being the law to establish consultative Ma tional Council.

THREE BILLION. A
 YEAR AS INDEMNITY
Paris Broker Takes HelferiCh at
 His Own Word

Paris. May 4.-The equivalent of $s.2oo. 100000 a year is what Cert
 many should be compelled to pay the
 Entente allies during as many years as may be necessary to liQuidate the total war debt, asserts M. de Verneuil, honorary president of the Paris Off, ficial Stockholders association. He calculates that she will be able to pay such an annuity.
 The exposition by Dr. Karl Helf- ferich. tho German vice chancellor, of the economic situation of Germany in 1913 is taken by M. de verneun as the basis of his calculations. The. figures ha cites are as follows:
 The wealth of the German empire in 19l3-376. 900, 100000 francs.
 Annual revenue therefrom-5O,0 ,000,- 000,000 francs.
 !. Government and individual expendi- lures of all sorts-37, SOC, ,O00, ,000 francs, including dermany's vast out lay for armament
 Total yearly economies .5O0,- 000,O0 francs of which 2.6O0.OO0,- 900 is credited to the growing value of existing fortunes, leaving 10.00O,- 900. .000 francs net savings from ac- tual earnings. q These figures of Germany's annual accumulation of wealth are confirmed, M. de Verneuil asserts, by all careful German calculatorss and he takes the met 10000. 100000 as the basis for, nguring Germany's paying .capasity. He adds: 1,300. 100000 francs to be derived from tax of five francs per ton on Germany's coal production of 2eO, 100000 tons, e8O,00O,0 ,0O0 to be raised by per capita tax of ten francs per year. 76,000.000 francs from an annual contribution levied upon all cities of more than 100000 popula- ton. and 1.750.000.000 francs from increased passenger and freight rates and receipts from monopolies This he arrives at an aggregate of 15,000,- 900 francs.
 A superposed tax of 20 to 30 per cent. on the coupons of all German bonds and bonds of other nations held In Germany would furnish another 1000. 100000 francs M. de Verneuil says. to be applied to the indemnih- cation of all the victims of the war.
 M. de Verneuil disagrees with those who think that Germanys resources will be entirely exhausted when she asks for peace. She will be able, hS thinks, very promptly after the cessa- ton of hoStilities to take up again. with even increased facilities for pro- duction, the extraordinary activity that pr. Helferich exposed with de- tailed figures.

JAVA DELEGATION WATTS ON QUEEN Believes More Adequate Defense
 of Dutch Colony Necessary

The Hague, Netherlands, May A. A deputation of natives from the Dutch East Indies, waiting on the queen of Holland to represent the ne- cessity of a more adequate defense of their country, was an unusual incident recently witnessed at the royal palace.
 A deputation of five natives and two Europeans made the long passage from Java to the mother country to lay be- fore Her Majesty, her ministers and parliament the text of a resolution on this subject passed at a big popular demonstration at Batavia. Sourabays and numerous other centers.
 { The native delegates comprise Javanese prince representing the mo- bility, a leading dignitary who speaks for the high native ofncial class, delegate of the native and Moslem so- ciety, the Sarekat Islam, with its 1,250,000 members, and two other representatives of native societies. This little party has been received with every mark of respect; 1t has been presented to the queen. the queen mother, and mepbers of the govern ment.
 The leader of the deputation sug- gests that a eum equivalent to $4OO,- 060,0O should be borrowed. half by Holland and half by the East Indies out of which the former should pay for the building of eight armored cruisers, while the latter would see to the equipment of the required naval base. the supply of submarines. torpedo-destroyers, mine-layers, coast al defense and the organization of a militia with officers training and mu- milton factories.
 Abdul Muis, the representative of the Sarekat Islam, brought definite demands formulated by those whose envoy he is. He said in substance: we are ready to cooperate in form ing a native militia to defend our country against Japan. whose dom- ination would be far more undesirable than that of Holland; but in return you must introduce drastic reforms, social, economic and political. and make Dutch India state ruled in the interests of and by tho natives, under Hollands leadership
 ''If the Ir 1ian supports the Hol- lander, this is purely for his own na- tive interest" declared Abdul Nuis to an interviewer. "The great danger lies in Japanese domination. Even
