the committee determined what pro-
portion OF the cost Of the war this year
should be financed by taxation and by
bonds, not from previous experience,
as there was no analogy in history. but
upon thorough consideration Of the ef-
feet on the morale Of the people, upon
price imitation. upon production. and
upon relative ability Of the people to
pay taxes now and after the war.

GERMAN PEOPLE IN DESPAIR.
Conditions Described by Visitor ITO
Saddost Country In Creation"

Germany's continued rcvcrscs have
caused the general staff to take pre-
cautionary measures which were con-
sidered "out OF the question" only II
few months ago, says letter from
Amsterdam. These include the COM
Meuse. in connection with which trench
digging has been started on a large
scale between Dinant and Givet, thou
sands OF prisoners OF war and Bel
gium civilians being occupied in the
work.
The Germans evidently believe they
will be forced back on the Mcuse front
next winter. and doubtless hope 10
cling to that line until spring.
I had a conversation today with
Dutch woman Of German descent who
had Just returned from visit to rcla
tivcs in q small village near Bonn. on
the Rhine. This woman. who had not
been in Germany for two years. al
though personally much attached Ia
tlse old country. and who has lost two
brothers in the war. made the follow
ing statement:
The impression / gathered from
what ] saw and beard in Germany was
one of real despair. In spite Of what
the newspapers say, or rather do not
say. Germany's retreat makes the very
worst possible impression in Germany,
i In L. IL . tA 10
There know that they will be the first
to be hit il the enemy ever comes.
| "The idea that German soil would
be inviolate to the last has completely
disappeared, and on the Rhine every
body expects sooner or later a foreign
| invasion. Many families are making
plans to leave for the center OF the
empire.
THE ravages made by the Allies
aircraft are simply terrific. Nobody IL
allowed to print a word about them.
But you may take It from me when
you read that there has been some
material damage 1t means that whole
streets have been torn up. with ter
lrific casualty list to complete the pic
ture.
| THE Germans would have endured
everything-a continuance OF the
block ade, famine rations. lack OF
shoes and clothes and all Of the rest
II their military success had continued.
No one ever believed II would be 9TH
erwise. The disappointment, therefore
Is something tragic, and many people
told me, II we haven't peace soon we
are lost And that is what everybody
thinks.
ITO the general encouragement one
must add. to give an adequate picture.
that the Germans lack food and lack
clothes, and the price OF linen is rising
to fantastic heights. How the people
stand it I can't understand. ] am ter
ribly weakened through remaining in
Germany for two weeks. II was really
Itoo terrible for words.
There is little hope. either. for the
future. Some OF the people still be.
lieve that there will be revolution In
France. England or America, that will
end the war: but even the prospect OF
the kaisers sudden disappearance does
not help them.
Germany. as I just saw it. Is the
saddest country In creation. One never
sees any one laugh. and, In fact. the
only smile I detected was at a moving
, picture show at Bonn, where an Amer
3 ican pre-war film was exhibited"

Pershing knows his material and

My French informants say that
