Tax Payments and Bond Sales.

Recently it was proposed that 1egis-
lation should be enacted to provide for
the payment of income and excess profit
taxes in installments instead of in one
sum on the 18th of June. This, it was
urged would relieve the strain on the
finances of the country and would prob
ably have helpful effect upon the third
liberty loan. 1t is now explained that
the National Treasury is not in a
condition at present to warrant the rec
ommendation of a division of the tax
payments into instalments. as it needs
during the last half of June an immense
sum of money which it is hoped will
be Welded by the taxes. If the liberty
bond subscriptions are in excess of the
minimum these funds viii be sufficient
ly provided in May to permit a division
of the tax payments. Thus the case
really stands that heavy liberty bond
subscriptions, payable ON the install
ment plan. may enable the Treasury to
ask for law which will authorize the
payment of the taxes in lnstallments.
1t is impossible now to encourage lib
erty bond subscriptions by promising a
division Of the tax payment. Not until
about the lst of May will it be possible
for the Treasury to be assured sufi-
GENTLY on the score of the prospective
tax volume and bond purchases to war
rant recommendation to Congress for the
enactment of tax installment law. If
by May such recommendation is made
the assurance that Congress is ready to
pass the installment plan act promptly
should stimulate the bond sales in the
last days.

Fulfill the Pledge!

= There are probably many in this town
who have signed liberty bond pledges
but have neglected to 60 to a bank and
complete the transaction. They should
go and fulfill their subscriptions at
once, before Friday, to make sure that
Washington wins the honor flag in time
to carry it in the parade that day.
Signature at the bottom of pledge
card is virtually subscription, though
not yet recorded. Without doubt these
pledges are all made in good faith and
will be fulfilled. But why waltz A
prompt fling Of the actual subscription
aids the loan in that it swells the total
Of reported sales and makes more evil
dent the success of the issue.
Every bank will remain open tonight
until 9 O'Clock for the convenience of
those who cannot get around to sub
scribe before the ordinary closing hours
This gives good chance after dry
There is really no lack Of opportunity
to subscribe. Delay may mean that
Washington's loan parade on Friday will
be minus the honor flag that should by
now be assured the capital Complete
that pledge today!

The Hindu Trial Tragedy.

For several months trial has been
in progress in San Francisco with thirty
two persons under accusation of con-
spiracy in this country to foment revo-
luton in India Yesterday in court one
of the defendants shot and killed an
other, the reputed leader of the revo-
lutionary movement, and was himself
shot and killed by 2 deputy marshal.
This startling tragedy is believed to have
been due to quarrel among the de-
fendaLts. Ram Chandra, the leader, hav-
ing been accused by his slayer of divert
ing to his own use the proceeds from
property which the latter had turned
over for use in the proposed revolution.
Suspicion always arises in case of
this kind that the act is inspired by
fear of revelations. Ram Chandra was
undoubtedly in position to throw a
bright light upon the inner workings of
the conspiracy. Suspicion of Germany
mas always been entertained in this CON
nection. 1t was undoubtedly to Germany's
interest at the outset of the war and
is still today to foment a revolution in
India, and that the intrigue now under
scrutiny in the protracted San Fran
cisco trial is of German inspiration has
been freely asserted.
Recently in New York persons accused
of German espionage in this country
died suddenly and mysteriously, and the
suspicion was not lacking that these
deaths were attributable to fear of
revelations. Naturally the killing of
Ram Chandra on the eve of the sub
mission Of the case to the jury sug-
gests similar possibility. The fact that
Ram Singh was enabled in the course
of brief recess of court to obtain a
pistol adds force to this suggestion.

The Eight-Hour Item.

Indications appear that the House may
not acquiescc readily in the Senates re-
lection of the eight hour item in the leg
islative bill, and that separate vote
may be demanded on that point when
the conference report is presented. 1t
is certainly to be hoped that the House
will not persist in insisting upon such
legislation. To reject the present agree
ment would be to throw the matter back
to further conference, and keep it a
question of possible uncertainty to the
end of the bills consideration. As long
as this legislation remains possible the
government forces are disturbed. To
add an hour to the working day of the
clerks would be most unjust to them.
They are now worked as hard as they
can endure without loss of efficiency.
Tie addition of an hour would not net
the government any appreciate gain
in service. 1t would most gravcly upset
I'll the domestic and business arrange
ments of the capital Conditions are
now serious with regard to household
help and street car service, and the
proposal to make $3.50 the hour Of de-
partmental dismissal is calculated to
cause demoralizing confusion. The
ultimate adoption of this plan is not to
be contemplated, and the sooner it is
definitely abandoned the better for the
government service.

tortuous and to block them called for
the most particular navigation under the
most difficult circumstances. Even il only
a reasonable success was achieved, as
the British admiralty's report declares,
the action was brilliant one and cal
culated to hearten the British and French
people.
1t is reported that when the German
gunners at Zeebrugge realized that they
were under attack they shouted: "The
Yankees have comc-the Americans!"
and ran from their guns in panic. Con-
sidering that the German officially in
spired press has Systematically depre-
ciated the fighting qualities of the
Americans this instant alarm through a
mistake OF the identity of the assailants
is highly significant. Perhaps it was
due to memories of Hobson at Santiago.
At all events it shows that the German
soldiers have wholesome respect for
the American fighting quality, notwith-
standing the slurs of the high command.
Whether tho exploit at Ostend and
Zeehrugge will lessen the U-boat efficien-
cy of Germany remains, of course, to be
seen. The fact that it was possible to
penetrate the defenses, damage the har-
bors and at least partially block the
channels shows that bold strokes will tell
against even the most thorough prepare

Ambassador Francis.

Secretary lansing has given Gov.
Gardner of Missouri some excellent adj
vice respecting Ambassador Francis.
Russia. not America, is the place for Mr..
Francis now His success in mis- diplo-
matte post is testified to; and the situa-
ton in Russia is today confused and
most difficult He is pre-eminently III"
man to watch II. and keep i'll touch with
it in American interests.
Our mission to Russia has been faced
since the war began with difficulties I'M
known to any of our other foreign mis-
sions; and since the dethronement of the
ear those difficulties have multiplied
and taxed to the utmost the ability and
resources Of the American representa-
tive in that country. He has had no
precedents to guide him: and necessarily.
he has often been without instructions
from home. Conditions in Russia have
been so chaotic and subject to such
rapid changes, instructions from home
have been impossible. Matters have been
left largely in the ambassadors hands.
Mr.. Francis has been aided in his
work by his all-around training in pub
lie affairs. When appointed to his pres
emit post he had had no experience in
diplomacy. But in both business and
politics he had long figured, and in both
come to distinction. In the one he had
amassed wealth, and in the other reached
the highest office i'll his state-the gov
ernship-and cabinet portfolio.
It is this experience which has come
into valuable use in Russia. The bust
ness man has been able to appraise the
upsettings and dislocations of all bust
ness, and the politician the overturning
Ct established government. The emer-
gency called for an all-around man
rather than for specialist in diplomacy !;
and Mr.. Francis found, and improved,
his opportunity.
And at this time the all-around man,
familiar with all that has led up to the
existing chaos and complications, is more
than ever needed on the scene. Soon
or late, some sort Of order must succeed
the existing disorder, and Mr.. Francis
viii have special qualifications for re-
porting on what is taking place, and
What America should do to improve the
occasion. For, with the new Russia,
whatever the settled form of the new
order may be, America should establish,
and maintain, profitable business rela-
tions.
Missouri may have chance at later
time to testify, in the way of be-
stowal of Office, to appreciation Of Mr..
Francis services in Russia. He is still
in his prime; and when he returns home,
his diplomatic duties fully discharged,
she can look him over and decide on mis-
reward at her hands.

German government does not apply
pressure to Holland on the score Of the
taking Of the ships by the entente and
the United States. Perhaps Germany
realizes that such point would be
altogether too preposterous to press.
Holland did not agree to the taking Of
the ships, but resisted to the limits Of
diplomacy. The conditions which she
proposed were not accepted and the ships
were Communicated, in effect, by the
allied powers. Nevertheless, feeling
of resentment is reported in Berlin that
Holland did not regard and proclaim the
seizure of the ships as hostile act and
thereby align herself against the en-
tente and in effect, therefore, with Ger:

Holland is in q most desperately dam
gerous position, exposed to German at
tack on all sides and capable of only
feeble resistance. Her best means of de-
tense in case of assault would be
through an opening of the dykes, which
would inundate an immense area, hold
ing back the German forces for some
time, but doing incalculable damage to
Holland itself. 1t has beep estimated
that the Dutch could withstand the Ger
man military pressure for no more than
three months.
Germany greatly desires possession of
Holland as a military base. This would
give her complete command of the North

the mouths OF the Scheldt end the Rhine.

batteries, to attack them hand to hand
and to sink concrete.laden craft in the
channels as means Of blocking egress
