German Propaganda Machinery
Is Being Set in Motion Again
individuals, Societies and Newspapers Working in Concert
to Create Public Sentiment to Obtain Leni-
enCY for Huns.

WASHINGTON, Nov l8-Goyern-
ment agents see evidences tha German
propaganda machinery in the UniteG
States is being put in working order
again to promote sentiment OF lenienoy
toward Germany in peace terms.
1t is said the movement is apparent
in utterances OF many individuals, a
few organizations formerly active for
German interests, and some newspa-
pers.
The interest OF the governRsnt agents
combating enemy propagarsz at this
time is not to suppress free expression
OF opinion, it is explained, but to fight
any concert of ptopagandistS whose
purpose would be to confound the au-
thorized spokesmen OF the nation in
forthcoming peace negotiations.
Ii IS stated that department OF JUS
tice agencies have ordered the intern
ment OF some Germans since the armis-
tice was signed a week ago.
Official reports show German repre-
sentatiyes in various parts OF the world
still actively engaged in spreading
propaganda to create and enhance feel.

German Burden Great.

Whatever may be the weight Of the
final burden OF reparation and restitu-
tion to be placed on Germany, the enor-
nifty Of the task ahead of her may be

States. Germany has 6600000 popu-
laiion and $4,000, 10000 Of estimated
wealth to pay $5S00000000 Of war
debt already created. The United
States has 100000 population and ar
estimated national wealth Of S2S000O,-
100000 to pay nearly $4,000, 100000 war
debt already created, or Approximately
$4,000. 100000 within another six
months This means that the per cap
ta burden will be at least three time.

There is some discussion in official
circles here Of the advisability of the
allies requiring payment Of an indeii-
mite amount for reparation, this sum TO
be determined in the future by commits

progresses in Belgium and France and
the actual cost OF the work becomes
more clearly determined than now. II
is pointed out that future prices can not

WASHINGTON, Nov. l8-Study Of
Germany's financial situation has been
undertaken by government agencies
here with a view to throwing light on
the ability Of the German nation to pay
big sums as reparation for devastation
OF invaded countries Unofficial reports
indicate that Germany's national debt,
represented mainly by war bonds held
within the empire. is now nearly

tR estimated wealth Of eighty billions
Although there has been no official
announcement or intimation OF the ag-
gregate amount which the allies will
expect Germany to pay, il is certain TO
run into billions OF dollars, and nee
essarily the terms Of payment must ae-
cord with Germany's ability TO pay.

Federation, yesterday issued a state
ment scouting the predictions of post
bellum state socialism and extended
government ownership which are be-
ing 50 freely made iyf many quarters
these days.
After an extended study of problems
bearing on reconstruction, Mr.. Easley
dismisses the notion Of a widespread
social unheaval in effect as a mere day
dream of irresponsible idealists and the
ever-susceptiblc American Bolsheviki.
"The sane and overwhelming forces
Of American workers" he says, cas-
represented by the American Fedora
tion of Labor and the railroad brother
hoods. will prevent any Bolshevik or
Socialist revolution either in our sys-
tenn Of government or in the private
ownership of industry"
Private control, Mr.. Easley predicts,
will be restored in those industries
which the government, owing TO war
exigencies, has temporarily taken over,
while simultaneously organized labor
will have the wartime concessions it
has granted returned.
In Germany, Mr.. Easley points out,
the "hotbed of state socialism," where
experiments along this line have been
carried to their fullest test, repre-
sentatives of large industries already
have declared themselves opposed to
all plans for state control after the
war.
"In my Judgment" comments Mr..
Easley, "our verdict on this question
will be the same as that of England
and Germany"

Early Tax Payments
Are Urged by Roper

WASHINGTON, May Ito encour-
age taxpayers to send checks for in
come and excess profits before they
are actually due, June Is, and thereby
lessen the congestion in revenue Offices
near that date, Internal Revenue Com
missioner Roper to-day instructed all
district collectors to send out notices.
These notices are essentially bills, and
recipients will be told in a note ac-
companying that, although the tax
need not be paid until June 15, collect
ors would be glad to receive advance
payments.
Next Wednesday. May Is, is the last
day on which interest deduction Of 3
per cent a year, on the month remain
ing until June Is, will be allowed.
Thousands of persons now are paying
their taxes in advance and making no
deduction for interest, however. The
allowance for a month on tax Of S100
would be rs cents. Many corporations
and big business interests are hasten
ing to pay their taxes before May Is
and take advantage Of the interest
allowance.
A Treasury report showed receipts
of $115,0 100000 from this source alone
to-day and $227, 100000 from income
and excess profits taxes this month, as
compared with total of only $4l2,-
100000 in the last ten months. By
June Is the Treasury expects about
$4,000, 100000 from these taxes.

Bristol plane Held Up
BY Liberty Motor

WASHINGTON, May 11.--Unexpect-
ed difficulties in production of the
Bristol airplane, slight improvement
in ordnance production and material
increase in shipping facilities were
activities reported to-day to the Sen
ate Military Committee at its weekly
conference with War Department Of
fcials.
Manufacture of the Bristol plane,
Senators said they were told, virtually
has stopped, temporarily at least, be-
cause of trouble in mounting the Lib
erty motor. The motor when installed
in the Bristol fighter, which has been
successfully used with foreign motors
abroad. is said to lack radiation. A
loss of 10 per cent in power is report
ed, and experiments are being made
with larger radiators, but their sue
cess has not yet been demonstrated.
Weekly charts of material produc-
ton, Senator'S said, show some in
crease in artillery and projectile man
ufacture, but the general ordnance sit
uation was not regarded by some Sem
ators as materially changed or i'm
proved. The greatest delay is reported
in large cal!bre guns.
