PRESS COMMENT.
THE FOREIGN LEGION.

Hail to the Foreign Legion, which
America never met before except IN
novels of adventurel These ferocious
gentlemen. who came from dozen
parts of the earth to French territory
and Immediately, through the magic
of romance, became as French as D.
Artagnan himself, are with us for the
purpose of calling our attention to a
matter of six or eight billions which
we must raise, not to help them, but
ourselves. A Legionnare needs no
help from anybody. He helps Others.
Before the war we thought OF the
soldiers of the Regiments Etrangers
ms a rollicking lot Of blades, who drank
strong waters and preferred Africa,
for various reasons, to the lands of their
ancestors Ouida gave us sly ideas about
them. Since the war began the Legion
has been cited for bravery five times
as whole, and the decorations OF the
individuals as they whirled down Park
Row yesterday dazzed an admiring city.
So long as men are kept under arms
we suppose France will have Foreign
Legion with recruits from dozen nations
and each recruit with a history of his
won. Among their traditions will he

Helping British Breweries.

Recent news from London was TO the
effect that many British interests were
amazed at the action taken by our govern
ment. in response TO legislation by Con-
gress. for prohibiting the use Of gram IN
the production Of beer after December l.
One comment, by the Sunday Evening
Telegram OF London, was significant.
LAS America sends us grain, this paper
said, Sit looks as if she is closing her
breweries that ours may remain open.
II is very doubtful if, supposing the
circumstances were reversed, we should
do the same for her, but it is a notable
example OF the determination OF the
United States TO let nothing stand III the
wav Of carving on the war
There is no doubt Of the correctness OF
this London papers editorial conclusion.
The people Of the [ Dltcd States are pre-
pared 10 stand many inconvenienoes,
even sacrifices, 10 AID IN a successful
prosecution OF the war. When peace
comes THE only kind of peace We will
consent to. from absolute surrender by
Germany we may look around and re-
solve TO profit by our sacrifices and de-
privals. To continue those that may
promise 10 be Of large benefit, and re-
store those that seem right and proper.

HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES.

The War Labor Board has requested
the housewives of the country to keep
an accurate account of their household
expenses and make report of them when
representatives of the board call. These
reports are to be used as the basis for
estimates to gauge the increased cost OF
living and will figure rs factors IN bxing
wages.
The statistics gathered IN this manner
will prove very interesting. Every head
of household knows that living expenses
have advanced tremendously since the
beginning of the war but few know just
how much The average housewife may
not keep ledger account of her income
and expenses. but she knows there IS
a little margin each week after the bills
are paid The increases arc not confined
solely TO rent fuel and food. They
extend TO everything used by the average
aggregate amount to n large proportion
of the income. The result oi the pro-
posed Investigations will be awaited with
interest w ashington Post.

MURDER AS A PRELIMINARY.

II is noteworthy that the Austrian
plea for su'tation and tho German
offer of peace" To Belgium were accom-
panied hv the sinking Of passenger
steamer aud the consequent murder
of women an children. The German
mind still is working along its peculiar
course. Slaughter Of innocents IS Iusti-
hed because merchant vessels persist
in plving the ocean. If these dead ones
had followed the kalscr's dlctum they
would be- safe at homo until such time
as ono OF his land bsttalions OF murder
might reach them
However these points have all been
discussed before In the minds OF civilized
and we'll disposed persons only one Thought
exists and that is TO render powerless
the insane directors Of the German mill
tarv machine and 80 make the world
n safe place in which to live. The loss
of the Galway Castle sunk without
warning added apothcr $50 TO the vic
tins of the terror but nothing to the
prospects for peace by consultation

DESTROYED Their Own Future.

The bombastic address OF Field Marshal
Won Ilindenburg to the German people
and the German army sounded almost
like the despairing wall of a lost soul. 1t
lacked inspiration and patriotism and
apparently was devoted only to instihng
a forced courage ipto an army that must
feel il is confronted with defeat, and n
people who must realize they have not
the remotest prospect Of winning the war.
The defeated and disappointed Fieid
Marshal, in urging his soldiers TO con-
tinue the battle, said: "While continuing
the fight we have TO wait to see whether
the enemy is sincere and at this time ready
for peace negotiations, or whether he VIII
again reject peace with us unless we are
prepared TO buy it on conditions when
would destroy our peoples future.
No one should know better than this
leader of Germany's armies that the
Allies will consent to no terms OF peace
other than absolute surrender by Ger
many. After nearly four years OF the
fortunes of war that ran decidedly against
them, Germany's opponents now see most
assuring promises of victory. The entrance
of our country, with its enormous re-
sources OF men and money, into the held
of war operations has doomed Germany'
She can no longer hope for victory, and
now seeks peace that would permit her
TO retire with some prestige, and also with
the retention of large part OF her stolen
territory. But this is not to he. The terms
of peace will be dictated by the victorious
allies.
As TO destroying the future OF the
German people" the German people,
under the leadership OF their war lords,
have done that. BY the barbarous proSecu-
ton of the war. by violation oi all the
pripciples of humanity, by their disregard
of decency and their horrd brutality, they
have lost the respect of all the rest OF
the world. And IN recompansc they
will have to submit TO whatever cxactlonS
their conquerors sec ft TO impose upon
them: and then, defeated and humbled
to the dust. begin their national life anew,
with humiliating experience that may
incite the German Npoplc 10 epudlate
their arrogant and consciencclcss war
leaders. who have betrayed them into
deepest degradation, and build up tor
themselves a nation that may IN time
command the respect and the tolerance Of
the rest of the world, as long as they show
thcv deserve such.

TAXES FOR POLITICS OR WAR.

Under the War Revenue bill as reported
to the House at Washington, 'proprie-
tors OF anv trade, business or profession
whose gross receipts exceed 5000 yea
must nav tax of $40. 1t Is now proposed
out ( 4 this tax to all persons in professions
and trades earning more than S2,uco a
year.
The provision without this amendment
expressly excluded agriculture. As the
amendment limits the extension to
professions and trades. agriculture IS
again evidently exempted. 1t Is an occu-
pational tax which is thus proposed.
But if an occupatiOnal tax, why make
II q discriminating tax against those VINO
are already included in the war taxes on
individuals incomes and in favor OF those
who are exempt from income taxes
The principal is the same as that Of the
old poll tax, and it would be unthlnkable
and intolerable TO discriminate with
poll tax between freemen on the basis
of income or on any other basis. I be-
comes less poll tax than an income tax +,
and this is true of the occupatlOnal tax as
proposed. Ii is merely special addition
TO certain income taxes and not an
occupatlonai tax.
There is too much class discrimination
and favoritism being shown In the make
I'D of the War Revenue bill The exempt
ion of agriculture from the $40 business
tax is a piece of politics and nothing else.
The same is true of this occupational
tax which exempts the great mass OF occu-
pationists who are already exempt from
direct war taxation. If we are going to
have an occupation tax at all let 1t be
such tax and not one like this me ely
