PROBLEM IN HUGE WAR DEBT.
Great Britain May Pay Loans bN
 Conscription of Wealth.

London, Jan. i6.-The great new war loan continues to absorb money, credit and attention. The financial authorities and the politicians and officials are beginning to discuss the methods of dealing with the big debt after the war. One plan submitted to me is that the whole debt might he cleared away in thirty years by a drastic inheritance tax, so that the eonscription of wealth of this gen. eration would follow the conscrip- tlon of lives.
 Another scheme is the assessment .o( all property, fixed, movable and liquid. Supposing the valuation to De 20 billion pounds sterling, then a flat capital levy of 10 per cent would clear away billion pounds of the debt. The advantage of lhis scheme, if feasible, is that it would obviate the necessity for crushing taxes on salaries and on consdnlp- ti0n. Francis w. Hirst, Former Ed ltor of the London Economist.

RoosEvELTs VIEW OF DEWEY
Typical as Farragut; Dauntlessly
 Courageous, but Kind to Weak"

New York, Jan. 1S-"As typical an American fighting sailor man as Farragut proudly eager to fight for the honor and vital interests of his country is Col. Theodore Roose- velt's description of Admiral Dewey.
 Admiral Dewey" said he at the Hotel Langdon yesterday, was one of the finest figures in American life, and no other single service by any American living ranks with the service he rendered this country on that May morning in Manila Bay.
 He was as typical an American fighting sailor man, as typical a deep water and shoal water admiral as Farragut himself He represented the Americans who are proudly eager to fight for the honor and vital interests of their country, and therefore the type which above all others this country at this time needs.
 "Inasmuch as he was typical American naval officer, it is hardly necessary to say that, together with absolutely dauntless courage and single minded devotion to the flag, he combined ehivalrie gentleness to the weak and the oppressed: he was incapable of wronging captive wem- en and children; there was not a touch of "schrecklichket' about him. He was equally incapable of submitting to wrong treatment by the strong and of inflicting wrong treatment on the weak
 Tn the highest meaning of the terms he was an officer, a gentleman and a patriotic American

 Thirteen Americans are among the victims of the German raider who have been landed at pernambucO. The remaining number is made up of i70 Englishmen and fifty-four Frenchmen.
 The raider has been operating in the South Atlantic for the last month, sinking ships of the Entente allied powers.
 Latest reports fix the number at fifteen. Survivors of the destroyed vessels to the number of 237 have been landed at Pernambuco and the fate of nearly 150 is still unknown.

PEACE PARTY IN
 GERMANY IS DEAD
Entente Reply to |. $. Note Lines Entire Nation Up Behind Gov ernment for Prosecution of the
 Great World War

Berlin, Jan. i6, Wednesday, via London, Jan. i7.-Time enough hav- ing elapsed since the publication of the ententes reply to President Will son to permit German opinion to crystalline, the effect of the an- nouncemeni of terms which the en- tente allies regard as a necessary result of the war are clearly evi- dent.
 In the first place the pronuncia- mento of the allies, together with earlier interchanges of opinion on peace proposals, may be regarded as having virtually eliminated the peace party in Germany, except for Ia small minority of socialists, some of whose newspaper organs still see the possibility of continuing the dis .cussion after the entente's reply.
 The large and influential section, including a majority of the socialists ad powerful influences among the non-socialists which up to last month was bringing the heaviest pressure to bear on the government 10 take steps for the opening of negotiations for peace, based on an understanding, is now convinced such negotiations are impossible. Virtually the entire nation is lined up behind the government for en- energetic prosecution of the war.
 Regarding the possibility that Germany would make a statement of terms the announcement of Dr. AL fred Zimmerman, the foreign sec-- retary, Go the Associated Press in dicates that this is now out of the question and the government appar- ently has adopted this as a definite decision.
 For some reason, however, there is an impression which will not down that the government may, per- haps, reconsider and make some an- nouncement of it's peace program, particularly in regard to Belgium and the remainder of the western front. as it has done already in re- gard to Poland.

ANOTHER TRY AT BONDS.
Municipal Officials Already Have
 Filed Amendment Petition.
speciai to rho star.

Special to The Star
 Little Rock, Jan. i7.-Due to the activity of mayors and city officials turnout the state, the legislature will be enabled to submit only two amendments to the constitution, out of the thirteen pending measures \ petition was filed with the Secre- tary of State Tuesday, with i5,07i signatures, for the submission oi the municipal bond amendment This measure has been before the electorate three times, receiving a majority of the vote cast on the sub iect, at each time, but has been lost thru technicalities. The last time it was carried to the Supreme court, and thrown out because more than three amendments had been sub mitted at the election. The initia- ton of the amendment was started only three weeks ago, and petitions were circulated in practically very city of the state. The amendment has been carefully redrafted and meets the approval of all who have examined it. The amendment will enable cities to vote bonds for in ternal improvements, Having pre- cedence over all other amendments to be submitted at the general elec- tion in 1918, the proposition will go before the people on it's merits, un- hampered by technicalities, and it is believed will be adopted.

 Clayton.

Washington, Jan. t8.-A cablegram received here announces the death in 0xtend, England, of Mrs. Emaline Clayton, widow of General Powell Clayton, who was governor of Ar kansas and ambassador to Mexico.

PLAN UNION OF DRY" FORCES.
Prohibition Party Prepares for Last
 ''Bia Drive on BOoze.'

Chicago, Jan. i6.-A proposed con federation of the temperance organ izations of the United States for 'the grand drive on booze in 1920 was taken under consideration to- night by the Prohibition National Committee. which opened a 3-day session at the Hotel LaSallc.
 If the plan is approved an invita- ton, 1t is proposed, will be sent L the Anti-Saloon League Officials and other anti-liquor associations of the country for a conference.
 The general plan is getting all anti booze forces under one tent for 1920 was outlined to the national confer enee of prohibition laymen and lay women, who met during the day and to the national committee to- night by Virgil G. Hinshaw of Chi caga, chairman.
 Prohibition party leaders see in this proposal the most advanced plan suggested in the forty-seven years of the party's life.
 The general scheme safeguards the identity of the Prohibition par ty and the Anti-Saloon League. If worked out in good faith, some of the leaders hold there is no reason why either organization should fear absorption. IL means, as explained that the Anti-Saloon League and the Prohibition party would become subsidiary to the federation. while each would retain it's identity.

It was the fight against the contractors, and his claims of their faulty eonstruc- ton in the State Capitol, that elect cd Governor Donaghey, but there were many people in the state who considered his assertions largely political, and they would never have been really convinced of the jus tice in them without the award oi this non-political commission.

While many people believed That Demon Rum had received a knock out blow in the General Assembly of 1915, it is evident that the old des- pot has a vigorous constitution, and that somewhere a spark of life still
 exists, from the number of liquor bills which have been introduced,
 and which are yet to come.
 That old D. R. has friend or two
 at court is also demonstrated by the amendments which are offered, and efforts to block or delay temperance legislation The amendments are tended to make the measures SC
 drastic that the people will rebel and cause the pendulum to swing back to where local option will again be considered.
 The temperance workers have been advised to pick out laws of other prohibition states, which are working satisfactorily, and pattern
 after them, instead of trying some thing new. There is little sentiment against prohibition in the General
 Assembly, and there is no danger of
 any effort at repeating the existing liquor laws, and even if such a law be passed, it would not be signed by | Governor BrOugh.
