War Charities and Taxation.

As drafted by the House committee
the revenue bill allows individuals to
deduct from their taxable incomes all
contributions to a specified class Of
charities. 1t continues, however, to
prohibit corporations making similar
deductions, a proposal to extend to
corporations the same privilege as that
given to individuals having been re-
jected by the committee. There is no
good reason for such a discrimination.
All contributions to the charities, es-
pecially those pertaining to the war,
should be put upon the same basis,
whether made by individuals OF by
groups of people comprising the own
ership of corporations. The Young
Mems Christian Association, the Red
Cross, the Knights of Columbus, the
Young Mems Hebrew Association and
all kindred war charities will suffer if
this restriction is not removed, and
the hope is that the House will, at the
stage of amendment, write into the bill
this provision which places all charity
gifts upon the same basis.

the Sunday abstention request, it is
probable that an admonition to the

The Delaware Senatorship.

Renominated for an additional term
by acclamation. Senator Salisbury of
Delaware stands for reelection in his
state with a record which gives him q
decided advantage. He has been ex-
ceptionally successful in his service in

a distinction we'll deserved and we'll
sustained Senator Saulsbury's politi-
cal fortunes in this campaign are a
matter Of concern to the people Of the
District, who regard him as more than
friend, for he spent his youth in this
city during the senatorial service Of
his father and is in spirit q Washing
tonian. His service to the National
Capital has been exceptionally valu-
able. His understanding of local is
sues and concerns through long resi-
dence here has given him prestige in
the Senate when such matters are I'M
der consideration. An active, faithful
worker, participant in debate of un-
usual ability, and familiar in marked
degree with the senatorial methods, he
has been a most useful and valued leg
'islator, appreciated by the nation, by
Delaware and by his non-voting con-
stituency Of the National Capital.

Germany's Proxy Peace Proposal.

Austria's proposal for a "eonfden-
fial and unbinding discussion of the
basic principles for the conclusion of
peace is to be no more seriously con-
sidered than have been any of the
other Teutonic tenders or suggestions
looking to the conclusion of hostfli-
ties. The allies have already stated
their "basic principles" The United
States formulated them and the other
countries of the entente have accepted
them as governing their conduct in the
war. They are well known to Austria
and, of course, to her aHy-Germany.
They require no fresh statement, and
they would not be made more clear by
discussion at an informal and unbind-
ing conference.
The other day the German Emperor
In speech at the Krupp works said
that heretofore all his tenders Of peace
had been received by the allies with
scoffing and jeers. The suggestion now
emanating from Vienna is Individually
an endeavor on the part of Germany,
eonfessedly refused hearing in the
court of the entente-refused because
of an utter lack of confdencesin Ger
many's good faith-to ascertain how
far the central powers can expect to
90 in the shaping Of the final settle
ment.
1t is impossible to associate the Aus
trian invitation from the recent al
lied victories in the field. Coming as
1t does upon the heels of the brilliant
success of the American Army in Lor-
raine it may be reckoned as an ac-
acknowledgement that the military tide
has definitely turned against the cen
trail powers. That victory in Lorraine
is but an earnest of what will continue
to be done to the Teutonic arms in the
course of the months to come. There
is no chance for a betterment of the
enemy situation. If a parfey could
be induced now, Austria, and, of
course, Germany, would secure a po-
sition of greater advantage than is
possible at any time in the future.
Flat. frank rejection of the sugges-
tion is in order and will doubtless
occur as soon as the Austrian note has
come to hand. 1t is unworthy Of any
consideration and it will receive none
beyond bare acknowledgment and a
formal refusal to deal in any manner
with the enemy while his armies are
in the field, while he fails to acknowl-
edge defeat, while he holds the thought
that he can be met on equal terms.
If Austria wants peace she can Sc
cure it, but only by abandoning the I'M
holy alliance with Germany and ac-
cepting the terms that will be accorded
by the allied governments.

The Debate to Date.

The general debate in the House or
the revenue bill, which closed Satur
day, was conducted, in the main, in
good temper, and probably with good
effect. The minority party stated it.
ease frankly, while the majority party
stood to its guns.
The effect should show in the Sen.

which will receive the bill from the
House, and then on the Senate 40 Z

it, committee with the committee'l
action on it.
There are two reasons why the Sen.
ate debate will exceed in interest the
House debate. ~ The Senate will be
considering an appeal; and (2) it,
rules win permit full consideration.

Insult to Belgium and Humanity

4
with the Austrian plan for an in
formal and indeterminate peace con-
ference, Germany's offer to Belgium
indicates that the Teutonic diplomacy
is laundering along as stupidity as ever.
Nothing could have been calculated
to anger the entente governments and
peoples more deeply than the tender
Of peace to Belgium upon the terms
described, and coupled as it is insep-
arably with the Austrian note it
stamps the latter conclusively as in
sincere and unworthy Of serious con-
s:deration.
Belgium will be the primary factor
in the final peace terms. Her restora-
ton, politically, industrially and eco
nomically, and as far as possible phys
ically, is the first requirement. Now,
according to the London dispatch, Ger
many offers to Belgium merely re-
constitution of her "entire economic
and political independence" Not a
word of regret for the horrors inflict-
ed, not a word Of indemnities, not a
word of reconstruction, not a word
of repatriation. Merely a statement
of the terms upon which this economic
and political independence" is to be
granted.
Those terms are an affront to the in
|telligence and the righteousness of all
the peoples now aligned against Ger
many in this war. Belgium is to re-
main neutral until the end Of the war
Belgium shall use her good Offices to
secure the return of the German colo
MES; the Flemish question is to be
considered and the Flemish minority
(which aided the German invaders :"
shall not be penalized.
Some time ago one Of the German
statesmen said that Belgium was to
remain q pawn in the peace game. Ger
many is playing her pawn now. But
the move is futile. Belgium, Of course,
will not accept peace on such terms.
They would be not only shameful, but
actually continuation of the terri
BILE injuries inflicted upon her. Bel
GUMS fate is in the keeping Of the
allies and they are pledged to secure
for her the fullest possible rehabilita-
ton, not on German conditions, but ON
conditions imposed upon Germany.
A neatral Belgium-how the word
stings into hot anger the heart Of the
world!-would be German buttress
against the attack upon her own soil
which Germany has every reason to
fear. With Belgium neutral and
held so by something more tangible
than the scrap Of paper which Ger
many tore into pieces in 1914, Cor
many would have to defend against
invasion merely the line between
Longwy and the Swiss border. But
how could Germany guarantee Bel
GUMS neutrality Only by force. The
allies could not respect that neutrality,
recreated by Germany solely for her
own protection in her final despera-
ton.
Germany has merely blundered
again. The conception that Belgium
would listen to separate peace propc-
sails is Enthusiastically Prussian. It
is impossible for Berlin to consider
the possibility Of Belgium acting with
faith in her allies and defenders and
good faith toward them. Faithless her
self, false to every principle Of right
eousness,. Germany regards Belgium as
actuated now by sordid, selfish will
ingness to accept whatever crumbs
she is disposed to fling upon the
ground.

The first to feel the boards heavy
hand are the Southern Shipbuilding
company, Charleston, S. c., which has
just lost the contracts for Is steel
ships, and the Hampton Shipbuilding
company of Norfolk, whose contracts
for eight ships have been Cancelled.
edward \. Hurley, chairman of the
shipping board, said short shrift will
be given TO paltering. The board has
lost patience with the South's reced-

wooden shipyards.
1t is now communicating lumber on
the property of the members of the

holds the bulk of the contracts and
has not filled them.

more Hog Island shipping programs.
No more private yards will be de-

Will start no new shipyards, or sub

AMERICA SEES TRICK
BELIEVED THAT HERTLlNG TRY
ING TO FOOL PEOPLE.
German ChanceIlor's Speech Planned
to Strengthen the Wa Party
in Prussia.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-German i'm
perlal Chancellor Won Hertling's
speech in the reichstag continuing the
discussion of the war aims of the bel
llgerent powers has not changed the
situation, in the opinion of high Off
Gals here.
instead of marking an advance to-
ward peace, ii is regarded rather as
deliberately calculated to strengthen
the hands of the German militaristic
party by ~endeavoring to convince the
German p%roletariat of the impractica-
bic nature of President Wilson'S aims
as disclosed in his most recent address
TO congress on February II.
While stating his readiness to ac-
cept the presidents four fundamental
principles for a basis of peace. Count
von Hertling dismissed them as ideal
lstlc and unavoidable by insisting that
tney must depend for their application
upon the realization of conditions
which cannot be met.
In the official view his treatment of
the subject was ironical n designed
for very different ends than the adj
vancement of peace.
There will be no immediate formal
comment upon this latest contribution
TO the debate on war aims and peace
aspirations. Experience has taught of
hciais that important qualifications
to be found usually in the full
text OF the speeches of the spokesman
of the central powers
