Here are three specimens:
From "The American" of
April 13, 1917
Each day the ambition to
spend our peoples money by the
shipload increases.
owe must say that we think
the Congress should go slow in
this matter of spending our money
in such large sums for ALLIED
preparedness. We have American
PREPAREDNESS to pay for.
we do not think that
many Americans are either glad
or willing to make such a sacri-
Ace for the sake Of American and
foreign buyers of English, French,
Russian or Italian bonds. Neither
do we think that we should pay
the war costs of these nations in
ADDITION TO OUR OWN. :"
From, "The American" of
May IL, 1917
"Our part in this war, for
months to come, is to pay the bill
to finance and feed hungry and
bankrupt England, hungry and
bankrupt France, hungry and
bankrupt Italy.
"All the Allies are begging Us
for cash.
England wants money-in
heaps-at 3h per cent, while she
pays her own people S per cent.
and demands S per cent. for the
money she lends France, Italy,
Russia, and Canada and Australia.
Call the world seems to be
headed toward our national treas.
ury.
sTf tho result of war is to be
that we will be hopeIe.sly out
classed by England as a naval
power and hopelessly beaten by
England at the start in eompeti-
ton for the worlds trade, then it
would seem to be prudent to keep
enough of our own money to build
our industries.
Our money, like our armies
and our fleets, should be concen-
trated at its home bases and not
dispersed abroad"

From the "Deutsches Jour.
nal" of April IL, 1917
"The inclination to give away
our morey in buckets is becoming
more evident from day to day.
eve can only hope that the
Congress will think three times
before it gives away our money
for the armament of the ALLIES.
We must pay for our own arma-
ment. :"
very few Americans arc
willing TO make this sort of sacri-
tlce in the interests of American
and foreign buyers of English,
French, Russian or Italian bonds.
Likewise, most Americans can
hardly hold the opinion that in
addition to our own war coat.
we should pay those of the AL.
lies.
From the 'Deutsches Jour.
nap' of May II, 1917
For many months to come the
task of the United States is to paw
the bills of hungry and bankrupt
England, hungry and bankrupt
France, and hungry and bankrupt
Italy.
"All the Allies want money
from US.
England wants money - in
mounds-at 31a per cent, while
she pays her own subjects S per
cent. and demands S per cent. for
the money she loans to France,
Italy, Russia, Canada and Aus
"The entire world seems to be
looking for our money.
ITO spend billions to defeat
Germany is ono thing. But it is
another thing to spend billions in
order to help another nation to
build up its navy and merchant
marine to a degree of superiority
SO that after the war we shall
have no prospect Of competing in
world commerce.
Our money, as we'll as our
troops and fleet, ought to be con-
eentrated at the home bases and
not scattered abroad"

He employed the delay in going to
look at the Old Castle outside the
village.
He had to follow a hedged road
leading to an open space, planted
with lime trees, where a massive
wooden gate stood in the middle
of a wall. The gate was locked.
Don Luis walked along the wall.

presented no opening. Neverthe-
less, he managed to climb over by
means of the branches of a tree.
The park consisted of unkept
lawns, overgrown with large wild
flowers, and grass covered ave
nues leading on tho right to a dis
tant mound, thickly dotted with
runs. and, on the left. to a small.
tumbledown house with ill fitting

He was turning in this direc-

to perceive fresh footprints on a
border which had been soaked
with the recent rain. And he
could see that these footprints had
been made. by a woman's boots, a
pair of elegant and dainty boots.
"Who the devil comes walking
here?' he thought.
He found more footprints a

From the Review of Reviews.
Adze. auger and calking mallet are
busy again along the New England
coast. as they nave not been since the
period before the civil war. when in a
single year 381 ships and barques and
1926 briggs were launched from American
yards for overseas commerce.. This
present great wal has quickened a de-
cadent. almost q dead. industry into
new, vigorous life. Not only have old
shipyards been reopened. but many
new plants have been built, and steel

was so great a tonnage in hand on the

the Penobscot to the Connecticut
never was there so many workers en-
ployed. and never was there such a
stirring spirit of high hope and deter

They reached Alencon in time
for lunch. When they had done,
they went to the chief post office.
Nobody knew the name of Lang

had its own post office, though
the presumption was that M.
Langcrnault had his letters add

Don Luis and Mazerou went on
to the village of Damigni. Here
again the postmaster knew no one
of the name of Langernault and
this in spite of the fact that
Damigni contained only about
1000 inhabitants.
"Let's go and call on the

who he was and mentioned the OBJ

nodded his head.

Thus ran the 3rd missive. Hip

named and accused his guilty
wife. From his grave he supplied
the solution TO the riddle and ex-
planned the reason why the
crimes had been committed 4:
Marie Fauville and CASTOR Sau-
verand We're lovers.
One problem remained to be
solved: who was the unknown
correspondent to whom Hippolyte
Fauville had bequeathed the task
of avenging his murder. and who
instead of simply handing over
J the letters to the police, was ex-
ercising his ingenuity to deliver
them by means of the most Mach
lavellian contrivances? Was it
to his interest also to remain in
the background?
10 all these questions Marie
Fauville replied in the most UNI
expected manner, though it was
one that fully accorded with her
threats. A week later, after a
long cross-examination at which
she was pressed for the name of
her husband's old friend and at

stubborn silence, together with a
sort of inertia, she returned to her
cell in the evening and opened

Mazeroux, who came to tell him
Of it before 8 o'clock the next
morning, just as he was getting

"No, she waote a few words on
a scrap of paper, saying that, on
thinking it over, she advised us to

about the mysterious letters. He
was the only friend that she had
known her husband to possess, or
at any rate the only one whom he

But" said Don Luis, "if
there is anyone to prove her in

"She doesn't care, she says.

Wyoming people who have felt called
upon to groan under the financial bur-
dens brought on by the late wal may
at least have the consolation of know
ing that as far as their state taxes are
concerned there has been no increase.
In fact, h rates for 1917 and 1918
were slightly lower han those for 1915
n 1916, and approximately half of
those for 1903 and 1907. The report of
State Treasurer Herman B.eGates for
the two years ending September 10,
191S, shows that the levy for the year
1918 was 81 mills, as compared with
$50 for 1917. 4 for both 1915 and 1916,
for 1903. and 50 for 1907. The
1913 rate was fourth lowest during the
past 10 years. The smallest figure,
III, was reached in 1909. Between
and 1915 the figure did not get
above the 80 mark.
