Constantinople.
Bulgaria is absolutely in the hands
of Field Marshal Won Hindenburg.
Meanwhile Zeppelins fly day and
night over Berlin.
U. S. Cuts No Figure With War.
Germany's public and officialdor
do not believe entrance of America
into the war would have the slightest
effect on the outcome.
AS a matter of fact, Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg believes with prepa-
rations now under way the war Will
be won by Germany before America
could enter-if she does enter.
When Ambassador Gerard and his
party left Berlin orders had been is
sued by the German military author1-
ties cancel1ing all vacations of army
officers and men for the month OF
February.
That move developed the infor.na-
ton that Won Hindenburg was await
ing TIE opportune moment for the
great final effort of Germany's forces.
Germany's military leaders believe
the moment of Germany's victory is at
hand. They hold this victory will be
achieved because of the success which
viii attend the unlimited submarine
warfare and because of the shortage
of French munitions and supplies, due
to lack of coal in France.
Win Before q. S. Can Move.
Moreover, these leaders think the
final overwhelming effort will be
made and complete success achieved
before America can move.
Tho the German army and navy is
prepared-and anxious-for war with
America, German newspapers have
been urging Americans to work for
peace and have been beseeching the
German admiralty not to torpedo
ships carrying American passengers.
Their efforts, however, do not appear
to be successful.

German censorship has been most Sc

America maintains her diplomatic re-

having severed with Germany.
Officials point out before the Ge-

minister were both present at the con-
ference on January 27-Kaiser Will
helms birthday-at great German
headquarters, where it was decided to
open the unlimited submarine war.
Moreover, Berliners pointed out,
Austro-Hungary, thru her emperor
and foreign minister, accepted. with
Germany, full responsibility for such

SEATTLE EATS TON OF
 WHALE MEAT IN DAY
Jonah is avenged!

Jonah is avenged!
 Had the ancient biblical explorer of submarine mysteries been alive ard in Seattle yesterday he probably would have smiled broadly says the Seattle Times of recent date.
 Two thousand pounds of whale meat that's exactly ton-was sold and eaten in this city yesterday. And more could have been put on the mar ket. The entire consignment for this city was sold before o'clock yester- day afternoon and dealers at once began to- beseech the supplying sources for more.
 The American Pacific Whaling Co.,, operating at Grays Harbor, was re- sponsible for depositing the first ship ment of whale meat on the Seattle market Eight hundred pounds were distributed around the local hotels and the remainder was sent to the various city meat markets.
 The various hotels found ready de- mand for the steak in their dining rooms.
 Whale meat, yesterdays experiment proved. looks and tastes much like beef. It is a little more grainy than the ordinary beefsteak According to scientists the whale steak contains more protein. If the demand for the meat locally is constant the company promises to suppy the market with a large quantity. The low price--10 cents pound yesterday-proved at tractive

the war is over. At best he is seldom l able to gain more than the joy of returning to the bosom of his family and resuming his customary oeeupa- tion at so much per day, War never brings him anything in the nature of a betterment of condition. In fact, other things being equal, he is usually worse off in financial sense than before the war, even though he re- ceives the same wage, owing to the increased burdens of taxation thrust upon the nation as a result of conflict. is usually a financial harvest Their ability to supply the vast quantities through the medium of their factories and lands makes war anything but a detriment. War represents to them scarcely more than a most excellent opportunity to make profits. Assuredly,
 
 tendant trials and horrors touches but little upon those of great wealth. ..
 It is admitted that in the armies of Europe many men of fortune are shar- ing with the poor man the maximum of all that war can bring to a nation. They are fighting beside their poorer brethren in the trenches with just as much devotion to flag and country as the most humble "Poilu" or Tommy" Men who do as they have done should rightfully be subjected to no greater taxation than their poorer comrades. But those who stay at home and share in the protection the country affords, in addition to deriving great profits as a result of such protection, should by all means be compelled to pay well for the privileges so gained.
 As Clifford Pinchot, chairman of the American war finance committee, said in a statement some time ago: "There SnOuN De a genuine partnefSnlp III patriotism between the working people, who will be asked to volunteer their lives, and the wealthy who will be called upon to give their dollars"
 Laying aside the personal aspects | of income taxation for war purposes, it may be said that under the scheme ] of taxation proposed by the senate 1 finance committee a sum equal to more than one twenty fifth of the total estimated cost of the first year of war will be in this manner be placed upon the shoulders of those who are the best able to bear it.
 According to its own showing the Steel trust piled up profits for it's stockholders last year amounting to the tremendous total of $500, 900 00O while the Dupont family, of gunpow- der fame, realized, according to pop ular report, an income of more than $S0,000, 900 last year as a direct result of the European war.
 Is there a single logical reason why such huge profits-and they will prob ably be even greater now that Amer ica is in the war-should not be taxed
