FOR THE L0AFER

If there is one thing above anoth-
er "A young man should be ashamed
of doing, it is loafng without aim,
purpose or profit, on the streets or
in stores, day after day all week.
If you have nothing to do stay at
home-a part of the time at any
rate. No young man with any self
respect will content himself with
aspiring to no higher reputation
than that of a chronic loafer and
store box magnate. Nothing viii so
blunt the higher faculties of the
mind as inactivity; and no mae
tivity is so baneful and malevolent
in its effect as that voluntary idle
ness termed loafng.

LONDON, Feb. e.-whether America
would hnd a cause for war in the kill
ing of an American sailor aboard the
Eavestone was the all absorbinb topic
of discussion here today.
England accepts it as a foregone con-
clus1on that America VIII eventually be
a bel1igerent. 1t looks for declaration
of war momentarily. But in the mean
TIME regarding the peculiar diplomatic
situation by the fact that the United
States is not yet officially enemy of
Germany but has merely broken re1a-
t1ons with her British officia1dom is
taking great care In dealing with Ameri-
can Ambassador Page in regards the
United States as still being 4 neutral.
Ambassador Page was obtaining all
possible information as TO the circum-
stances of the attack on the Eavestone
today preparatory TO preparing reports
to washington.

Washington Expects KaIsef'S
Answer 10 u. S. DeCIa-
ration Within Short
Time.
BY Robert J. Bender.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.
-Germany's answer to
President Wilson'S s notice of
a diplomatic break is ex-
pected within twenty-four
hours. It may be a declara-
tion Of war. Belief is rapid
ly crystall2ing that this final
step is inevitable and would
cause no surprise if GeTma-
ny took it now.
Also it was recalled today that
last spring when the Suessex sink
ing threatened a diplomatic break
Ambassador Won Bernstorff said
such a break would result in an i'm
mediate declaration of war by Ger
many.
At the same time President WI
son told members of the forei5a
relations committee that he ha5
been reliably informed" tila
actual war would follow break.
Possible action of this kind took
precedent in the discussion of off
Gals today, even over the London
admiralty statement reporting the
killing OF an American c;t;zea by
German submarine gun.
According to TIE admiralty re-
port Richard Wallace. a negro of
+ Boston, was killed 5y submarine
shell fire while ins lite 5oat.
/ The report Immediately made the
international situation mora acu5e.
Some officials believe however Ger
many may modify her J-boat cam

WASHINGTON Dec. II.

Reconstruction of the entire fiscal

United st ties is concerned loomed up
today as an urgent necessity In Con-
gress
Expressing confidence In America g
ability to meet any war expenses which
may confront It. leaders In Congress,
nevertheless. have become convinced that
immediate steps are necessary to eNtri-
cate the Government from the morass of
intricacies and obstacles damming up
the flow of gold into Uncle Sans war
chest.
There were two reasons for this belief:
First The discovery of the unwork-
ability Of n large part Of the recently
enacted SO 500 OOO, 900 revenue law.
Second. The recomme ndation OF
Secretary OF the Treasury McAdoo
against the Immediate increase of war
taxation. rccessitating the floating OF
no less than $4,000 900. 900 bonds
during the next six months.
Many members of both houses have
come to the conclusion that so much
confusion will attend the adminstr ltior
of the war tax bill that 1t would be far
simpler to repeal the whole measure and
enact an entirely new bill. The excess
profits law, counted on to produce a
lions share Of the war revenue. has been
found to cont hin so many uncertainties
that the Treasury Department experts
are well-nigh baffled In trying to put IL
into operation.
Senator Simmons. chairman of the
Senate Finance Committe. believes that
the revenue bill can be adjusted without
entire repeal. lie said todty that he
wants Congress 10 wait n few months
to give the Treasury Department time
to study 1t before attempting to amend It.

sentiment for higher var profits taxes

tors Hiram Johnson. of California

They tike the view that to float another

tempting to raise another cent by addi-
tional taxation. would be almost sulclda
from a financial point of view.
