FAMOUS GLACIER
 MOVES BACKWARD
 AT STEADY RATE
RAINIER NATIONAL PARK.

RAINIER NATIONAL PARK Since 1857 the great mass of ice composing the Nisqually glacier, which forms the Nisqually river, has retreated up its rock hewn canyon some 3,200 feet, according to in- vestigations concluded by Professor J. B. Fleet and Park Supervisor D. L. Reaburn. Nisqually glacier is melting away fastest of all the big glacial chain within the great park.
 The distance which Nisqually gla- cier has moved in this period of years from 1857 was determined by first locating the camp site of Lieut.. A. V. Kautz, U. S. A., who in 1857 made the first attempt to scale Mount Rainier and camped at the snout of the glacier. Within the memory of one living family, the LongmlreS, after whom the famous Longmire Springs are named in the park, the snout of the glacier ex- tended 1,400 feet farther down the river valley than it is today, or re- treated that much in 30 years. From a photograph taken 26 years ago by two Tacomans, the park investigators were enabled to locate two boulders from which they measured the dis tance which the glacier has receded since then, and found that it was l 300 feet. But a comparison of figures disclose that the preesnt rate of the glaciers melting is approxi- mately 100 feet a year. nearly three times the rate of melting in 1857.
 The huge glacier, during the pe- riod from 1857, has also lost in volume of ice, for at the earliest date of which there is any record the glacier was some 200 feet great CT in depth.

FCCH MAY KEEP BQCHES MOVING
 DURING WINTER

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN FRANCE.-Marshal Foch is the only man who knows just what move he is planning for tomorrow or next week or next month, but there is growing in the fighting armies a feeling that the German is not go- ing to be permitted to rest this winter.
 Fight in good weather and dig in for the bad has become almost an accepted principle in this war. Men trained in the theory of war prior to 1914 and in it's practice since have agreed every year to the uselessness of attempting to drive the enemy from its trenches once the rain and sleet and> snow set in, but there are indications that the initiative taken by the Allies in July will be retained regardless of bad weather.
 If Marshal Foch calls upon his army groups to continue jumping at the Germans they will and they will do it as they did in the early part of the war, for in addition to the reinforcement that America has provided, there is spirit revived. The French are fighting with con- tidence restored and the British are going in with greater enthusiasm than had been apparent for many months. They are not merely "carrying on". They are slashing away like one does when he knows there Is another one right by his side hitting just as hard.
 The Germans are not exhausted They are not so badly fed. Their clothing is not bad and they prob ably have plenty of ammunition. notwithstanding the enormous store, they have abandoned. But there Is something wrong and men who have commanded troops in the recent Franco-American- British offensives are inclined to believe it is the real ization by the people of Germany of the hopelessness of keeping un the fight against foe who obviously IS growing stronger instead of weaker
 German newspapers, official and semi-offical documents and private letters that occasionally come to the hands of the Allied troops no longer contain sneers regarding the Ameri- can assistance It is recognized that the American army cannot be dis posed of so easily. :.

 Actual figures as to the amounts

Actual figures as to the amounts of the various German war loans are unavailable, but it is generally known that they have been larger than those of Great Britain The total English expenditure at the end of March 1918, was e7,OOO,OOO,OO0
 Through her present method of taxation. Germany cannot even hope to pay the interest on her war loans. The attempt to levy an in- creased tax met with stern opposi- tion on the part of the federal states and tax on increased incomes was then resorted to, while an ad valorem levy. was made upon all property. taxed, and an excess profits tax, similar in a way, to that in vogue in the United States was adopted. But the German corporations did not respond. Attempts to tax evasion through false bookkeeping and other means, were brought to light and punished.
 The personal property tax called for certain exemptions. Among these lc ,.l, l4l man financiers made huge invest ments in pearls and other precious stones. These were taxed in turn, but other means of tax lodging were discovered. The German will freely lay down his life for the Fatherland. but he will not lay down his money unless it is reasonably secured and g. fair rate of interest is promised.
 Public interest in the German war loans has been stimulated by Ameri- can publicity methods.
 When it was discovered during the early loans that the farming class was not buying bonds to the extent expected, an educational cam paign was inaugurated for their es- pecial benefit. The third and fourth loans were designed for the special benefit of the lsboring classes. Bonds as low as S25 were placed on the market and met with ready sale. The last loans have been for tho big investors and since the bonds sold at 971a and 9S1a it has not been difficult for the government to find plenty of buyers.
 The banks have given great aid in the disposition of the bonds. For their share in disposing of the bonds they were given fat commissions, a method which worked well during certain periods of the American Civil war Municipalities, as such made heavy investments in bonds, the public treasuries of these muni- cipalities being compelled to borrow the money with which to make the purchases.
 Educational campaigns have beer an important means of stimulating interest in the war loans, but coer- cion in one form or other has also been used with characteristic Prus- ' sian high-handedness. This has been especially true in the case of sol diers. If they did not buy bonds leave of absence was denied, dis

GERMAN WAR LOANS

Germans are subscribing to their ninth "Victory" loan. Whether 1t will be "Victory" loan depends in some measure on how the American people accept the new war taxes now being framed by Congress.
 The German loan opened Septem Der 23, just five days before the United States started on its Fourth Liberty Loan, and until the cam paigns end, Americans and Germans practically will be engaged in race to drop their dollars into the hopper of the war mill
 The amount of the German loan is not known at Washington, but it is known it will be made in the form of bonds at five per cent interest and treasury notes. Both securities are to be issued at ninety eight which is about the average at which all the German war loans have been floated.
 It is through the war loan-a long series of them in fact-that the German empire has financed its part of the world struggle. Taxation has been resorted to, of course, but as compared with taxation in England and France, or in the United States, the extra tax burden which has fallen to the lot of the German people has been light indeed
 Before the war, Germany had adopted some rather stringent laws for taxation. The war once a real ity, they decided to meet actual eX- penses by loans and impose only extra taxes to meet the interest on the loans. But as it fell out Ger many was building her hopes on a poor foundation. It was believed by the German people that the war would be over in few months; that Germany, by means of the tremen- dous military machine which she had been building throughout the years would crush her opponents before the end of the year 1914. Belgium, France and England were to pay heavy indemnities to recoup the Ger man treasury.
 Had this plan materialized the German idea of war finance would have worked, but the war went on it is still going on, and the German debt i, piling higher. Present day Germany is worrying little over the financial straits in which the nation finds itself. Posterity must pay the penalty.
 Today the German public debt is $27,757,OO0,OOO, about $1,OOO,OO0,- 900 less than that of Great Britain and $17,OOO,OOO,0OO more than that of the United States.
 Austria has public debt of $12,- 782,000,00O while the debt of France despite the fact that this country has been torn by the actual fighting has contracted about $6,000, ,0OO, O,OOC less than Germany. Before the wal Germany had public debt of only little more than s1,000. .000. .OOO, less by narrow margin, than that of the
