Germany"

There is peculiar timeliness in the
presentation of the camera version
of former Ambassador James w. Ge-
rard's illuminating book, My Four
Years in Germany" at Moore's Strand
Theater this week. not only because
this officially sanctioned disclosure OF
important historical events affords an
intimate study of Wilhelm II, the
debated Emperor of all the Huns,
but also because it reveals in a man
ner as thrillingly dramatic as 1t is
authentic the savage viewpoint of the
Germans that must be fought to alb
solute submission around the peace

TAX THE PROFlTEERS

President Wilson has proven again

public sentiment.
His recent speech in congress de-
manding heavy taxation of the profits
of war profiteers voices the sentiment
of the great majority of the people.
From the beginning of the war the
average man has been unable to see
why some business enterprises are al
lowed to make enormous profits when
the government day after day is call
ing upon all to unite in sacrificing for
the common cause.
The present is no time for an ex-
hibition Of selfishness. When house

man taking much of the furniture

, n one desires to
hamper tse orderly business Of the
country. The complaint is with those
who want more than is right under
the circumstances.
If congress listens attentively to
the great bulk of the people, from
laboring men to heads of corpora
lions that are not engaged in profit
eering, it will quickly enact laws to
take the bulk of the excess profits
and put them in the national treas
ury, and at the same time keep swol-
len fortunes from being built up from
the war, with consequent popular
clamor in the future.
