Charge Presidents Speech Con-
tradicts His Principles.

Berlin, April 5.-Bitter criticism of
what was termed President Wilson's
bad faith" charges that England
Commanded" the Indictment of the
kaiser's dynasty and insistence that
there is no cause for war between
Germany and America featured Ber-
lin newspapers comment today or the
American executives speech, just re-
ceived.
Particularly violent antagonism
was expressed against the presidents
separation of the German government
from the German people.
The semi-official Lokal Anzeiger as
serted:
president has previously frequent
ly asserted that it was his highest
duty to refrain from participation in
the war unless under the utmost
emergency.
Not for Lives of Americans.
Therefore his speech contradicts
his principles-because America is
not fighting for American lives and
interests.
Can Wilson give a reasonable an
swer to the question of why he sur
rendered to England's prohibition OF
American trade? He is unable to.
| Therefore this war is without reason-
able cause.
History will condemn this deed OF
a stubborn fanatic in worst degree
( than the Italian or the Rumanian
breach. President Wilson's assertion
| that the war is not against the Ger
man people but the German govern
ment will lessen German anger, be-
caues it is untrue and dishonest and
Wilson knows it,
Fighting World Hatred.
History records no war like this,
of a. whole people fighting for their
existence in a war created by the hat
red and grudge of the whole world.'
| Those who formerly doubted Pres
ident Wilson's bad faith know better
now" declared the Berlin Vossische
Zeitung. His efforts to disassociate
the German government from the
people are perfidious.
His statement that the kaiser
started the war for dynastic reasons
apparently was made at England's
command"
| Answering President Wilson's re-
marks as to the difference between
the German government and the peo-
ple'' the Berliner Tageblatt comment-
ed:
I'VE cite the fact that hundreds of
thousands of critics of the German
regime are fighting in the trenches
doing their duty for the Fatherland.
I'VE trust the American people will
discern Wilson's error and that this
unjust quarrel between America and
| Germany will be settled before all
| others.

Brand WhitlOck and Party
Given Ovation at Berne.

Berne, April 5.-An article in
French and Swiss papers questioning
the reports that Belgian deportations
have stopped has led Americans here
to assert their belief that the reports
are probably untrue. They say that
in addition to deporting Belgians to
Germany, the Germans have placed
many thousands not far from the
front in northern France where they
are employed in building roads and
railroads and digging rear line
trenches Belgians to the number of
1000 or 10000 are said to be work
ing within range of the big guns of
the allies but in general to have es-
capped injury as the French are using
their big calibre weapons as little as
possible in order to save the towns of
their fellow cOuntrymen.
The Americans declare that the
only Belgians of military age who are
safe from deportations are the
throngs who are under arrest on
charges ranging from espionage to
fconcealing Belgian and French citi-
zens. This number is very large and
, is increasing daily. Originally the
| Germans permitted the accused to
have legal representation at their
trials but they are now allowed only
to make statements in their own de-
merly public, now take place within
walled court and only can be seen
by the occupants of the surrounding
houses who can look over the walls.
WhitlOck Treated Well by Germans
Berne, April 5, via Minister
Brand Whitlock, who has been be-
sieged by newspaper men of all ma
tionalities since his arrival here, has
taken refuge in a brief formal state
ment announcing that he will talk or
no political subjects and expressing
his appreciation of the tire. tmen1
given him by the Germans on his de-
parture from Belgium and of the hos
pitality of the Swiss.
Mr. Whitlock was given a dinner
and reception last night by PIeasanr
A. Stovall, United States minister tC
Switzerland, to which the American
colony in Berne and few others were
| invited.
| The Americans here from Belgium
I especially relief workers, have begur
preparations to leave for Paris, and Z
number probably will depart today
Minister Whitlock intends to take L
few days rest before proceeding Il
Havre, and the date of his departure
has not yet been settled.

would shortly be suggested to congress
in formally presented resolutions. I'm
official estimates presented to federal
reserve board officials indicate two
billions can be raised at once and
without difficulty thru a bond issue
at the 3 Y per cent interst rate.
Reserve Board to Finance 1t.
Plans for such a war budget were
discussed in greater detail yesterday
at meeting here at the federal re-
serve board governors.
The reserve governors after discus
sion of the interest rate, favored the
higher rate at the start rather than an
initial issue at low rate with subse-
at the 8 u per cent interest rate.
Treasury officials today discussed
possible means of raising revenue for
financing the war by directing taxa
ton.
The government will raise approXi-
mately $3.50, 900, 900 this year thru the
internal revenue bureau. 1t is esti-
mated that proposed increases in the
inheritance tax alone would increase
this source of revenue by 5O0,O0O,OOO
one suggestion being that the govern
ment increase the rate on taxation on
large estates up to 80 per cent.
325 Million from Income Tax.
The income tax under present rates
will yield, it is estimated, 1925, 600, 900
this year.
The lowering of the exemption to
$4,000, and increasing the rate on
large incomes, would swell this sum
to vast figures. The estimated in
crease of inheritance tax from this
cial, would amount to at least $780,
100000 annually. Increase in the tax
rate on distilled liquors, beer and to-
bacco also are under consideration
