EDITORIAL NOTE. William Le- queux, who here chronicles for his friend. Count Ernst von Heltxen dorff the Iatter's revelations of the inner life of the imperial German court. has fong been recognized throughout Eu- rope the possessor of its innermost secrets.
 The English sNho's Who. says of him: ssHe has intimate Knowledge of the secret service of Continental coun- tries and is considered by the govern ment (of Great Brituin) an authority on such matters. Another authority says. sFew people have been more closely as- sociated with or know more of the astounding inner machinery of Ger many than he.'
 LeQueux probably has more sources If secret information at his command than any contemporary fin civil life, and for the Inst six years the British Gov ernment has made valuable use of his Fast store of secret information through a specially organized department with which EeQueux works as q voluntary assistant.
 Count von HeItzendern became an i'm innate of LeQueux several years prior to the outbreak of the wnr; he has been living in retirement In France since August, 1914, and it was there thait Le- late personal adjutant permission to make public these revelations of the inner life of the Hohenzollerns-tha the democracies of the world might rome to know the real, but heretofore hidden. personalities of the two domi- uaut members of the autocracy they are now arrayed ngainst.

O~-N-~'
 I. as his imperial highness' personal adtutant, had been travelling all day with him from Cologne to Berlin. We had done a tour of military inspec- tions in Westphalia, and, as usual, 'Willie's" conduct had not been exact ly exemplary.
 On the night in question much had happened. The emperor had, a month before, returned from a visit to Eng land, where he had been engaged by speeches and handshakes, public and private, blowing narcotic dust in the nostrils of your dear but too eonfding nation.
 ''Heltzendorff ,'' exclaimed the crown prince, as he suddenly entered the room where I was busy attending to pile of papers. Do get through all those letters and things. Burn them all if you can. What do they mat ter?''
 Many of them are matters of grave importance. Here, for instance, is a report of Aae chief of military intel ligence in Washington"
 "Oh, old Frieseh! Tear it up. He is but an old fossil at best. And yet. Heltzendorff. he is designed to be of considerable use," he added. His majesty told me tonight that after his visit to England he has conceived the idea to establish an official movement for the improvement of better rela- lions between Britain and Germany. The dear British are always ready to receive such movements with open arms. At Carlton House terrace they strongly indorse the e.nperor's ideas, and he tells me that the movement should first arise in commercial and shipping circles. Herr Ballin will gen. crate the idea in his offices in London and the various British ports, while his majesty has Von Gessler. the ex- ambassador at Washington, in view as the man to bring forth the sugges- ton publicly. Indeed, tonight from the Wilhelmstrasse there has been sent q message to his schloss on the Mosel commanding him to consult with his majesty. Von Bernstorff took his place at Washington a few months ago."
 But Von Gessler is an inveterate enemy of Britain exclaimed in sur prise, still seated at my table.
 "The world does not know that. The whole scheme is based upon Britain's ignorance of our intentions. We bring von Gessler forward as the dear, good, Anglophile friend with his hand out hoIr ira ccla Oh, Heltzendorff l' he laughed. Ut Is really intensely amusing, is 1t notY'
 I was silent. I knew that the deep ly laid plot against Great Britain was proceeding apace.
 "Get through all that-tonight If you can, HeltZendorff." the crown princess leaves for Treseburg, in the Harz, tomorrow, and in the evening we go to Nice"
 ITO Nice .t I exclaimed.
 "Yes," he said. T have a friend there"
 only suppose that the attraction in Nice was of the feminine gender.
 Then the lady is in Nice !" re- marked, for sometimes I was permit ted. on account of my long service with the emperor, to speak familiarity.
 Lady, no." he retorted. Tt is a man. And want to get to Nice at the earliest moment. So get through those internal documents Burn them all. They are better out of the way" he laughed.

The Soldiers' Thanksgiving.

The Star is proud Of the response
given by the people Of Washington to
its proposal that they invite soldiers
and sailors and marines to Thanksgiving
dinner in their homes. As q result of
its efforts, it is estimated, fully 10000
men in uniform were yesterday enter
tanned in this city from the nearby
camps and stations. Some Of them dined
in homes with the families of citizens,
while others dined in large groups. A
spirit Of patriotic hospitality pervaded
the capital, and the men who were thus
remembered and entertained must have
memory Of kindly and helpful inter
est that will remain with them in the
months to come, through all the hard
ships Of their service in behalf Of Amer
lea. These men will render better
account Of themselves in the war for
this display Of eomradeship.

Germany and Scandinavia.

Germany's complete inability to rec
ognize the rights of other nations is
demonstrated afresh by her design,
frankly avowed, to seize Denmark II
Norway, stung and angered by repeated
sinkings of Norwegian ships, enters the
war as ally of the entente. It is this
disregard of the law Of national exist
ence that has caused Germany today to
be hated and feared by practically all
other nations. Denmark is inofensive,
has taken no part in the war, has been
strictly neutral, almost pro-German, in
consequence of her exposure to German
attack Yet because the nation across
the strait dares to express indignation
at the German outrages suffered by it
the threat is given to treat Denmark
as Belgium was treated and to march
an army into it to seize its naval points
of vantage from which to menace and
to invade Norway.
At present the Scandinavian states
are in close consultation over this new
menace. For the first time since the
separation of Norway from Sweden the
Swedish monarch is visiting at Chris
tiania- Recently the three kings met
in conference. The interests Of Dem
mark and Norway are practically iden-
teal. Undoubtedly the purpose Of the
present consultations is to prevent Nor
way from breaking with Germany.
Sweden's influence is pro-Germanic.
Denmark's interest lies in that direc-
ton. But this is an interest born Of
fear, not of sentiment, for Denmark
has reason to hate and dread Germany.
Berlin is practically blackmailing the
Scandinavian states into a continuation
of neutrality. From the allied point Of
view it is perhaps as we'll that they
should remain neutral. As in the case
Of Holland, the entente has less to gain
than to lose from their participation ii
the war Germany would be glad Of a
chance or an excuse to invade either
Holland or Denmark and thus extend
her holdings along the North sea, from
which to conduct submarine operations.

The Tax Problem.

Explaining taxes has an odd sound,
but as the policy is necessary the gov
eminent is well advised in adopting it.
The government must have money in
quantities, and those assessed for it have
6. right to such information as will sat
isfy them on the point of payment. 1t
may be assumed that lodging is not in
contemplation. Precautions against that
are unusually thorough. Collectors will
be numerous, and spurred to vigilance.
This condition of things grows partly
oat Of the new features Of the new
revenue law, and partly out of the man.
ner Of its preparation. The new sources
Of supply agreed upon were not ade-
Quately explored. Too much was taken
for granted. Then, there was haste in
the House, and incertitude in the Sen
ate, and some work in conference which
subsequently was not fully understood
by either House or Senate. The result
was a law which ever since its enact
ment has paralyzed the everyday man,
in business or not, and puzzled even
experts.
The country is now on the eve of ex-
plantations from sources well qualified
to explain; and it is to be hoped they
may satisfy all Congress likewise is to
be approached on the subject Of some
changes; and doubtless if the argument
is considered sound the changes will be
made.
All Of this will be to the good, not
only as respects the existing tax law,
but the new one that the necessities Of
the government will shortly require.
Larger revenues still are demanded;
and Congress in levying the new taxes
should profit by studying and remedy
ing the mistakes made at the special
session Then, everything was disturbed
and confused. Nobody saw his way
very clearly, though everybody was NOV
ing. Now, the situation is, in a meas
ure at least, different. More is known
about the governments obligations and
its needs, and more about the resources
Of the country to meet them. A faulty
tax law now would be inexcusable.
There is time for this work. Seven
months Of the present fiscal year re-
main; and Congress reeonvenes next
Monday. Additional taxes can be thor
oughly considered, and assessed with de-
liberation. Everybody is willing to
serve according to his ability to assist
in this business. Lawyers Of the first
class, business men Of the largest ex-
perienee, and tax experts we'll attested
are at the governments command, free
of charge, in helping to solve all diff
cult tar problems.

Great Britain is prepared to enter into
an international pact "under which aul-

The Lansdowne letter gains signifi-
canoe by reason Of Lloyd Georges re.
Gently proclaimed view that the only
effective means Of fighting Germany is
through a knockdown policy and Glenn
enceau's late declaration against any
league of nations including Germany.
It is virtually a promise to Germany Of
peace terms under which the Teutonic
powers could regard themselves az hav-
ing fought the war to draw if not to
victory. Apparently innocent of sug-
gestion that Germany. cannot be de-
cisively beaten in the field, it neverthe-
less subtly conveys the impression that
there is no purpose to administer q blow
that will put Germany out Of position
for subsequent violations Of interna-
tional law and aggressions upon the ter
ritories and rights Of other peoples.
This country will, Of course, take no
part in any political maneuvering in
England or in the other allied lands.
Thus far its policy has been stated most
clearly in the Presidents reply TO the
Pope's peace note. It is represented
at Paris on that basis, and it cannot
consider the Lansdowne as other than
British partisan movement, which does
not affect the international situation.
