Bonds and Taxes.

That provision of the second liberty
loan law which renders the bonds above
a certain limit subject to income taxes
does not affect the average bond buyer.
The federal tax provision does not
operate save on purchases above $1,000,
and then only when the income of the
individual is in excess of 5000. Con-
sequently for the great majority of
bond buyers this is a straight 4 per
cent loan, with no offsets whatsoever.
There need be no confusion in the
minds of prospective purchasers of
these bonds on the score Of the tax pro-
vision.
From 5000 down the bonds are free
OF federal assessments, regardless of the
income of the purchaser OF the $4,000
District people who bought first liberty
bonds only very small percentage took
them in units above five thousand, and
it is probable that in the second loan
the same PERCENTAGE will prevail. There
fore, those who are contemplating
bond purchases have simply to consider
whether they should invest in govern.
ment securities at per cent As a
business proposition it is a good one
As patriotic duty it is imperative.

terested himself in state questions. In
this way he Was introduced to the coun-
try at large, and enjoyed his turn in the
spotlight.
Mr.. Conners retired from active poll
tics some years ago, and has since been
giving his time to his personal affairs
He is rich, and is, and can afford to be
somewhat q man Of leisure. But the
war. as is seen, has stirred him, and he
is desirous of doing his bit for the coun-
try.
Wisely. properly, and greatly to his
credit, he offers himself for work he
understands. 1t is very important work
and should be we'll done. He feels him
self capable. knowledge acquired when
young is still fresh with him, and he
wants to put it at the service of the
government.
This is the spirit which should every
where prevail. Men should seek, and
be assigned to, posts of duty in which
they can render the best service In the
present emergency all service is honor
able. The governments needs are nu-
merous, varied and most pressing. Fight
ing men and men to support the fighting
men are equally necessary; and all
should know their business.
The real strength of America lies in
the training of its citizens in the varied
walks Of American life. Many of them
begin in humble station, and by their
diligence reach wealth and high station.
But the lessons of early endeavors, we'll
learned, are never forgotten, and in
emergencies can be commanded 1T any
time.

tries of export. But it is also unques-
tionable that enormous quantities OF
these exports represent replacing i'm
ports from the United States. 1t makes
no difference whether the goods sent
into Germany are Of Dutch, Danish or
Scandinavian origin, so long as those
countries are enabled to ship them by
reason of requirements of supply from
here. These embargo restrictions may
seriously affect the neutral states, may
cause them great privation, but they
have an opportunity to prove their good
faith by accepting the embargo, and if
they are unable to maintain themselves
from their own supplies they surely can
make a showing of necessity that will
open the gates of our commerce to them
under the reasonable guarantees re-
quired.

Trade After the War.

This is an interesting paragraph in g
news story concerning Col. House and
some duties recently announced for him
"Col. House is gathering all the facts
he can which will be of assistance to the
trade after the war. Information of
this character is being collected by all
the other nations, for the great period
OF reconstruction, and the President be
ieves that similar data should be in
the hands of this government, if the
United States is to hold IT'S place among
the other countries Of the world"
The period Of reconstruction" named
will be one OF the most important the
world has ever known. All the leading
ratiors will be affected. All have suf-
fcred and are suffering in their trade
foreign and domestic. as result Of the
war. Some lines of production will have
to be rebuilt from the ground up, while
dlstribution--the exchanges of produc-
tions--will invite competition Of the live
lest character.
The aim, the desire, of America is to
enter this competition prepared to meet
all rival entrants. If our plans do not 20
wrong we shall increase our productivity
of all sorts, and bid for foreign trade in
all quarters. We shall have a merchant
marine large enough to deliver our sales
and bring back our purchases. The
very essence of success in the contest
will lie in the possession of our own
bottoms for our own purposes. So
strengthened, we shall no longer be, as
we long have been, at the mercy of our
rivals. The slogan now is, American bot
toms for American goods.
For collecting data bearing on this
program, and commenting on it to ad-
vantage, Col. House should prove the
right man. His success, which first
brought him to the Presidents notice,
was achieved in the business world. He
laid the foundations of his fortune there.
He is today best known there, although
widely known through his connection
with the President in the political world.
1t is true, as stated in the announce
ment, that this work should not be
longer delayed. 1t cannot, Of course, be
completed until the war is over. The
finishing touches must come after it is
possible to take general survey of the
havoc the war has produced. But it can
be brought, and kept, up to date, so that
when the time comes the capsheaf can
be promptly put on.
The war may end next year, or be
protracted several years. But, soon or
late, it will end, and when the end comes
we should be ready to do everything
necessary to taking our place among the
bidders for business in a world contest.

The Embargo.

Compared with the new British en-
barge against the northern European
neutrals, the American embargo now
being put into effect is mild. This gov
ernment is permitting exports to Hol-
land, Denmark, Sweden and Norway
under licenses which are in effect guar
antees against re-exportation into Ger
many. Great Britain, according to late
reports, has prohibited the expectation
to those countries of all articles whatso-
ever, except printed matter and per-
sonal effects accompanied by their own
ers. This is an absolute embargo
against all supplies that can be used by
Germany through transshipment.
The tightening Of the commercial
lines against the northern neutrals can
not fail to have disastrous effect upon
German economic conditions. That Ger
many has received immense supplies
through these states is well established.
It may be true that much of this COM
merce is legitimate and that the supplies
are Of native production in the coun-

Intelligent War Service.
This bears a Buffalo date line:

civilian j. Conners, chairman of the
board of directors of the Great Lakes
Corporation, today confirmed rumor
that he had indicated his willingness to
accept an appointment from Washing
ton that would place him in charge Of
unloading boats for the allies in France
No official action has been taken on the
appointment, Mr.. Conners said. Il told
them ] am willing to do all that I can !
he added. L stand ready to construct
facilities that would result in the un.
loading Of any Of these boats in two
days."
In this announcement is contained an
interesting story Of American life and
opportunity of illustrative value at this
time.
Mr.. Conners when young worked on
the docks at Buffalo, first as stevedore
and then as foreman of stevedores. In
both capacities he showed industry and
resources, and attracted the attention OF
his superiors, who advanced him as oc.
casions presented themselves.
So quick and shrewd a man naturally
acquired fortune, and with fortune
came an ambition for a new and large,
field of usefulness. He entered politics
and became a power in local affairs. He
bought and directed newspaper. He
achieved statewide reputation, and in

Air Reprisals.

| 1t is announced in London that the
British government is seriously consid-
ering, if it has not already decided
upon, reprisals for German air attacks.
Intimation is given that this is mill
itary question at present, the dispatch
of airplanes for the purpose Of reprisal
depending upon whether they can be
spared from the ordinary military serv-
ice in France. Evidently there is now
no doubt on the score of policy, which
formerly deferred the government at
London from engaging in any form of
| reprisal. This conclusion may have
been hastened by the action Of the
French, who have already sent air
raiders on two occasions recently over
the German boundaries for the bonn
bardment Of cities, in reprisal for the
| bombing Of French cities. No returns
are, of course, available as to the dam
age that has been done in Germany by
these French attacks. The striking fact.
however, is evident that Thea French are
capable of carrying out air raids on a
large scale at long distances. The French
aviators covered approximately $50
miles in their flights.
The French have an advantage over
the British in this respect, as they can
launch their airplane raids from points
fairly near German territory. Naturally
they will not lombard any Of the cities
in Alsace or Lorraine, but will seek the
strictly German centers. From Nancy,
which is safely behind the firing line,
the French.can reach Heidelberg, Stutt-
gart, Frankfort or Cologne within a
radius Of 100 miles straight flight, with
| many smaller cities and towns at shorter
ranges. Berlin itself is about 400 miles
| from Nancy. Essen, the center of the
German arms industry, is 200 miles in
straight fight from Nancy. The dis
tance from London to Cologne is about
80 miles, or from Dover, which would
be the natural starting point from Brit
ish territory about $50. The nearest
| German territory from Dover is 200
| miles by air line. It would not, Of
course, be necessary for the British air
men to fly from England. They could
| fly from just back of their lines in
France, in which case it would be pos
sible to reach Cologne with about 100
miles Of straight flying. From this same
! point back of the British lines to Ber-
| lin is about ATS miles.
| Evidently it is felt in London that
there is no reason for Withholding
longer from reprisals, inasmuch as the
Germans are apparently already doing
their utmost in the way of air raiding.
Increased "frightfulness" may be pos
sible, as the Germans have progressed
from one degree of terrorism to another
in the course of the campaign, but there
is no warrant now for withholding those
blows in reprisal that are prompted by
every consideration of self-defense.

Common Sense and Safety.

Street safety is merely matter of
common sense. If everybody who uses
the streets, pedestrians, drivers, chauf-
feurs, would only be sensible there
would be no trouble. 1t is surely not
common sense for a motorist to drive at
high speed through crowded streets or
streets that are frequently crossed by
persons on foot, for speed and inatten-
tion to conditions only lead to acci-
dents and accidents lead to trouble for
both sides. The motorist is likely to
have his machine smashed. He cannot
be sure that he will escape unscathed
from an accident: However heartless he
may be and Indifferent to the rights Of
pedestrians or to the safety of children
collision with one in the streets is
quite apt to cause a DETECTION of his
machine that will bring him to grief.
The first essentials of self protection re-
quire consideration for all street users.
As to the pedestrian, common sense as
suredly calls for care in going upon the
streets, in crossing at intersections and
in observing the condition Of traffic.
There can be no excuse whatever for
ignorance as to the dangers in the
streets. In Washington presumably
every adult person knows perfectly we'll
that careless walking leads into peril,
just as every motorist knows that reck-
less driving makes for disaster. The
rules themselves are we'll understood
Why is it then that people continue to
be hurt through their own carelessness
or the carelessness Of others7 Why do
they persist in running needless risksf
Dashing after street car is not justi-
fable in view of the peril involved. It
is better to be five or fifteen minutes
late than to be laid up in hospital,
with a chance of dying in consequence
Of collision.
Be sensible! Use your eyes and your
wits and your ordinary sense Of self
preservation, whether you are at the
driving wheel of motor car or on foot,
and the list of casualties in this city,
now so shockingly high, will fall.
