60 per cent of the full City rate for
the year 1919, and that the percent
age of the full City rate should in
crease per cent each year until the
two rates become one at the end OF
20 years. 1t was thought that the
present City rate represents in part
provision to meet the interest and
sinking fund on old loans, the pro
ceeds of which had been expended
for purposes the benefit of which
would not be fully received by the
new territory, and that it would take
some time before the new territory
received the full City benefits, and
therefore, it was thought iust--both
to the taxpayers in the present CITY
and to the taxpayers in the new ter
ritory-not to apply the full City
rate at once In the new territory
but to begin with the percentage
thereof stated and increase the per
eentage gradually until the two rates
become one. The tax provision has
the merit of simplicity and the fur,
Their merit that it will become ad-
iusted to the full City rate auto
matically, without the necessity OF
further action By the Lasislature.
1t is believed by the COMMITTEES
that additional benefits to the pi op
erty and residents in the territors
to be added to the City, in the SHAPE
of better police protection. better FRI
protection, better school facilities
the advantages Of the City Plan
Commission and the Typographical
Survey Commission and the Harbor
Board, for the development OF prop
erty, better health protection and
other City advantages, will fully
compensate the residents of the new
territory for the small increase
which this Bill provides, as com
pared with the present comfy rate
which they are paying.
The Committee had a precedent,
in a recent Act providing for enlarg-
ing the limits of Hagerstown, for the
principle of sliding scale, applying
the full City rate gradually, as
adopted in this Bill.

has been her weapon, and her agents
have been the foes Of our own
household.
Every man in this country who is
now playing the pro- German game
should be made to feel that he must
overcome a presumption of guilty
motive. There are misguided pro-
Germans who are uninfluenced by
corrupt motives, just as there were
merely misguided and not conscious
wrongdoers. But these men are in
mighty unpleasant company!
The pacifist. the man who wishes
a peace without victory, the support
er of Senator La Toilette or Senator
Stone, the man who in any way now
aids Germany, may be honest; but he
stands cheek by jowl with hired trait
ors, and he is serving the cause of
the malignant and INSCRIPTIONS
enemies of his country.

Blood. Iron and Gold.

Bismarck announced that his
policy for Germany was one of blood
and iron. The men who now guide,
and for some decades have guided,
German international policy have adj
ded gold as the third weapon in Ger
many's armory.
To policy based on callous disre-
gard Of death and suffering, and the
brutal use of force, they have added
the habitual and extensive employ
ment of corruption as a means for
weakening their foes and bending
other nations to their service.
The administration at Washington
recently made public the proof that
Ambassador Bernstorff, on behalf of
the German government, was, up to
the very last moment of his stay, en-
gagged in efforts to bride with Ger
man money American organizations
or individuals who could be used to
further Germany's purpose by pro-
testing against war, demanding peace
at any price, opposing the measures
necessary for war, denouncing the al
lied nations, praising unpreparedness
or by some other of the methods hab-
itual with pro-German senators, con-
gressmen, editors, heads of peace So
cieties and the like.
No well informed man was sur
prised at the revelation. Every rea-
sonably well informed man, who has
known about matters at Washington,
has known that for nearly three
years German money and govern
mental power has been used for the
corruption of American newspapers
and pacifist organizations and for
the pay of German and the bribery of
native scoundrels to wreck our in
dustries with dynamite and in all
ways debauch our policital life. The
government, from the highest official
down, knew all these facts over two
years ago. The New York World
published the names of some of the
editors and other individuals who
had received money, and the amounts
received. The Austrian ambassador,
Dumba, and two of the German at
taches, Boy-ed and Won Papen, were
dismissed for inspiring and counten-
ancing the intrigues. 1t was absolute
ly impossible that what they did was
not ordered and supervised by Bern
storff, under the direction of the Ber-
lin government. $685. Germany has
hitherto been able to do but little
against us with blood and iron; gold

| wrote you card last night, but
as have time will write you letter.
Il arrived here Tuesday evening about
a p. m. We left Fort Logan last Sat
urday at 1890, had a good trip and
saw some of the prettiest country /
ever expect to see. didn't get to
come through Kansas as we took the
g. b. & @ from Denver to Chicago.
We went through Nebraska, Iowa,
Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
New. York states and into Vermont.
That was some jump. Didn't get to
see much of Chicago, as we went in
there at 8 o'clock at night. saw a
dozen or so steamships on Lake Erie
at Cleveland, Ohio. We followed
around the lake from Cleveland to
Buffalo, New York. We sure saw
some pretty country after we left
Troy, New York. We were right in
the Green Mountains for about 200
miles and they were just grand. They
are one solid mass of trees and grass
to the tops, of course, not high COM
pared with the Rockies. 1t is sure
great to look out on the Lakes, we are
only four miles from Lake Cham
plain, at the foot of Green Noun
tains. Our Fort is sure in an ideal
spot.
They took us out to drill yesterday
and twice today. Then we were given
instructions on how to set up Field
Ovens this afternoon. They are very
simple / have not worked in shop YET
but will soon as they have just ship
ped in two carloads of field ovens
and material. They are enlarging the
Baking Department here so they car
train more bakers. There are about
275 bakers here now. Army baking j.
