lest the men be incofvenienced by the
clouds of dust from his car! Or he
stops, and cries out to the men, "Guten
Morgen Leute!" and they reply, "Guten
Morgan Majestat!" their eyes again
full OF tears. Again we near that old
story OF the kaiser tasting the soup
prepared for the : soldiers dinners.
Give me a mouthful," he asks the
COOK, and he gulps down the stuff so
condescendingly that even the gem
erals eyes fill with tears. II eat what
my soldiers eat" says this historic per-
sonage. and the soldiers cheer.
Chivalry Of an almost unexampled
character was displayed in the kaiser's
treatment of prisoners. We read of
French officers who were so affected
and daZed when they saw the kaiser's
majesty that they were rendered
speechless, and eve their eyes filed
with tears.
hut 1t is piety which mainly Impress
es the correspondents. A character
istic passage is the following: There
Is something sacred which accompanies
the emperor on all his ways, and this is
his ~unshakable confidence and faith in
the Creator. This piety streams out
from him over the entire army. Those
who have seen the kaiser at q field
service WHY never forget the sight.
When the kaiser joins in the singing
of "Wirtreten yum Beten," his clear
eyes raised to heaven. we remember his
words Of Lass autumn: "One man with
God Is always in a majority"

gone down on the first act, the prin-

vociferous applause.

SOUTH AFRICA and
ARGENTINE PUSH TRADE
World War Has Developed Com
mercial Intercourse Between
Two Countries.

Buenos Aires. (by mai).-A very I'M
portant commercial intercourse has de
veloped with the last few months be
South Africa. This Is all the more
striking because there was not enough
trade between the two countries a year
ago to be worth mentioning, When a
direct line Of Japanese steamships was
i~naugurated between Yokohama and
Buenos Aires. calling at Cape Town,
the South African government sent q
trade commissioner to Buenos Aires
n within a very short time he sue
ceeded. in inaugurating a flow of bust
ness in both directions that Is rapidly
assuming large proportions.
This commissioner then eturn be
South Africa to continue his work there
n has just come back to Buenoe
Aires again to supervise the important
transactions which, by his initiative,
are now taking place between the two
which these transactions represent at
this stage already exceeds $4,000, 600.
h goods now being exported to
South Africa are such as to have
aroused interest and surprise among
Argentines. For example h South
African union either has imported or is
in the act Of importing 1880 tons of

at $4,000; slaughter house by products
such as bone meal, dried blood, ETC.,
valued at $75, 1000; leather to the value of
more than $3.50, 900; 10000 casks of
iipseed oil; 10000 cases of canned
meats, valued al $225, 600; locally man
ufactured chemical products, mattress
wire and between 700 and 500 ons of
wheat. South Africa also is buying
Argentine hard wood railway ties.
But the trade is not all one way.
Argentina has recently taken from
South Africa hessians to the value of
$100, 900, ostrich feathers, tea, lucerne
seed, wines brandy and gin, as well as
coal in considerable quantities Two car-
goes of South African coal have arrived
here within the last few days and more
Is on the way. This coal has been
thoroughly tried on the railways and is
giving entire satisfaction, SO that is
probably will form n of the prinei-
pal articles Of trade between the two
countries in the future. 1t is of par
ticular interest to note the growth of
Argentine industries to an extent that
permits of the export on a compare
lively large scale Of manufactured
goods as boots and shoes, and semi
manufactured goods such as leather.
The market for Argentine shoes and
leather in South Africa appears to be
excellent. Already Argentine repre-
sentatives Of these industries have Wis

Ear Plugs for Burmese.

Burmah Correspondence Cleveland Leader
All the girls here wear ear plugs. They
cannot enter society without them. AS q
ma!de approaches the Gge of coming out,
which Is usually at II or Is, her ears are
bored, and the ceremony Is as Important
to her as the FIRST long dress is to her
American sister.
The is formal, and II must
be done when the stars are propitious.
The family consults the FORTUNE teller for
this occasion, and q big feast Is prepared.
All the relatives and friends attend In
their best clothes to witness the piercing.
This is done by q professional earborer,
who uses needles Of pure gold for the
rich and silver ones for the poor.
When the exact moment has arrived the
girl is laid down upon a mat In the back
OF the room and her relatives hold her
there while the arborer thrusts the gold
On needle through the lobe and twists
II around into a ring. This he leaves
In the ear. The other ear is treated like
wise.
While this Is going on the bands play,
and after 1t there is a feast. 1t takes
the ear some time to heal When il is
quite well the process of enlnrging the
hole begins. The needle is pulled back
and forth until the sore heals.
1t is then taken out and a little cylinder
of finely rolled gold is pressed in. This is
gradually opened from week 10 week,
stretching the hole larger and larger.

SAMPLE OF GERMAN
TREATMENT OF OTHERS

Amsterdam-An imaginary dialog
between a Dutchman and a German,
published in the TELEGRAPH, shows the
state of public opinion over the Ger
man refused TO permit Dutch ships to
sail for America to bring wheat for
Holland.
why are you always Fostering me?
Why don't you hold your tongue?" the
German demanded.
But why can't | have wheat for my
bread?" asked the Dutchman.
What do / care about that? Don't

Yes, but"

me in ~exchange?"
Vegetables, cheese and milk. Also
meat, and a little, of everything be-
sides. And l give you credit for 1t.

What are . complaining about,
then? Be thankful that l still allow
you to trade with me. l might have
taken everything l wanted of you with
out giving you a scrap in return"
Have you the right TO do .so?"
Right? l make my own right" II
the German response.
But my wheat?"
why should you have wheat? Have
we any wheat?"
"At least allow us to give tonnage to
America in exchange for wheat"
Certainly not. If you give tonnage
you strengthen the enemy, and he who
does that is my enemy also"
And what do you do to your enemy"
81 club him to death and take all he
possesses"
Then if / give up tonnage you club
me TO death. and If don't, starve to
death?"
II don't object" says the German.

In England, the governmen from the
beginning realized that the demands OF
the fighting forces are limited only by the
sources OF possible supply. In framing
their financial program they have never
lost sight of that factor. They have levied
what they have considered as heavy taxa
ton as the nation could bear, without
gripping it's industries and making ii
impossible to obtain what had to be bor-
rowsd. They have increased the tax
ievies each year, but they ave been
careful to make the increases of such
proportion that the country could adjust
hself to the increased burden without, as
the ~ohancellor Of the ~sx2hequer has said.
haking to the foundations the whole
structure of their hnanetal STRENGTH.
In the first year Of the war, Great
brkatn Increased taxes only slightly. The
main racfor was to keep business going
At run speed. In the second year about
y per cent OF Brtafn's war expenditures
was raised from taxation. In the third
year IL per cent came from taxes, and
ABOUT Is per cent In the fourth year. In
presenting it's budget for this, the fifth
year, the British treasury proposes to
raise about q per cent of the war ex-
pendttures from lakes. Notwithstanding
une fact that the government IN England
mas ~ecogntzed the necessity Of keeping
enterprise n industry going at full
speed, and has applied the pressure OF
war taxation gradually, the chancellor OF
the exchequer in his budget speech a few
weeks g called the attention Of parlia-
ment to the fact that he had had to give
careful attention to the winding up Of
businesses that, owing to the pressure OF
taxes. had been forced TO haul In their
horns. And there Is little business being
aone In England today that isn't ESSEN
tiaf' business.
Here In America, when we were franz
ing our nancia program for the first
war year, We talked about a $3.50 plan;
mat Is. we talked bou spending sci, &C.,
WU,8oO In that first year and about rails
ing % per cent Of the money by taxation
and the other so per cent by issuing
bonds. AS already noted, our actual ex-
penditures will apparently not go over
$lS,WW,WQ0o. When we deduct from that
sum our loans to allies, we find that, in
the first year we are raising at least SO
per cent Of our actual war expenditures
from taxation, whereas England raised
only ~ per cent In her fourth year and
proposes only q per cent In her fifth year.
No other country in this war, or in
any previous war, has gone so far as
the United States has gone in the way
Of taxation.
1t can be said to the country's credit
that 1t has withstood the shock, denied
but not brokenl

War Taxes--How Levied in
ENGLAND.


The bulk Of Eneland's increased taxa
ton has been put upon Incomes and the
so-caaled war profits. In America, the
income tax is stih something of a novelty.
whAe In England 1t Is over 100 year old.
There 1t has been through the process Of
long development, and the country he's
become we'll adjusted to that form Of
levy. During the war the rates have
been gradually increased and the exemp
ton has been lowered. The budget for
the coming year indicates revenue from
income tax almost seven times the rev.
enue received from this source in tho
last pre-war year.
And Ia the coming year the British bud.
get estimates 8 800. GOO, 900 revenue from the
excess profits duty. Here again the treat.
ment OF business Is on liberal grounds
Pre-war profits which were fixed as {
standard Or base on which to determine
excess profits, were defined as the
average Of any two Of the three pre-.
war years, and In England this period
was n Of good general business. Only
the profits In excess Of the standard sc
determined are taxed, without regard to
the rate Of return on capital. There arr
no graduated take such as were enacted
In the United States. In the first year .
rat rate OF oO per cent on the excess
amount was imposed. In the second year
this was raised to 60 per cent, and in the
third year to 80 per cent. The chancellor
Of the exchequer stated in his recent
budget speech that he had refused to In
crease the rate for the coming fiscal year
There has been no disposition In Eng
land to tax business out of existence, o,
to cripple business or individuals by tan
ing Incomes away unreasonably and exr
cesstvely; thus to discourage enterprise,
and industry. Tax rates have increased
year by year, and so have taxable In
comes. Thus where the gross incomes
coming under review by the incomes ia,
assessor for the year 1914 amounted to
IS. 500, 600, 900, In the year 1867 they
amounted to IS, 300. 900, 900.
Prosperity and Confidence.
Now We In our turn must realize that
II our output Is to be at all sufficient t.
supply the great, urgent demands Of ou
fighting forces and those of our allies
then we must see to 1t that business pros.
pers, that confidence In our credit struc.
ture be not shaken. The momentum W.
have now gained must be accelerated, moi
checked: sources Of revenue must flow
~abundantly. not dry up; channels of ex.
p~enditures must be enlarged, not blocked.
In thai way, and in that way alone, our
government will be able to spend all the
money 1t can raise. and to raise all the
money that it can spend.

-Four travellers were dining at q
village inn. They evidently taxed the
~our somewhat, for n attenu-
ated looking duck was all that ap-
pearod for the four.
The gentleman who was to carve
stuck his fork into the back, and ex
claimed with great rapidity:
"Who says duck? No n says
duck? Then / say duck !"
W~hereupon he transferred the bird
to his own plate and was halfway
through it before the others had re
covered from their establishment.
