THEY ARE ONLY HUMAN.

When people have spoken of the great war machine of Germany, oi how the Germans were bred and etrained 10 shed blood. of how the re- ligion and the ambitions of that peo- ple were built on fighting to the death .tor what they were told they wanted they were drawing picture that al atimes seemed true--but Germans in the final analysis are pretty much human. and the internal troubles of sGermany are beginning to crop out V While the allies have lost hundreds of thousands. perhaps millions of men, and while millions of shot and shell have been poured out, the enemy also has encountered terrific losses, and has been less able to stand them.
 The war is reaching the staggering period America is coming up fresh. sThe ultimate verdict is not in doubt. We have been over optimistic when we say that the Germans will not reach another harvesting perod We hope that optimism is not unfounded. but even if it is, the war will continue until a victory is won for safety of the peoples of the earth.
 It is rather gratifying to our people to see signs of the breaking of the enemy because we neither desire to kill or to have our men killed, except that such is necessary for preserva- ton. The German war machine has been threatening a western offense of terrible proportions for months. That has not developed The Germans have raided London anew, have prepared for new submarine activity, and have done some forward things, but in the meanwhile the Germans are losing in other places, and if the reports of the internal troubles are true, Germany is breaking down.

Washington, Ian. 31.-Steps toward vast financial operations for the war were planned tolay at conferences between Secretary McAdoo and lead CTS in congress.
 Next Monday, it was agreed the administration bill to create finance corporation with S500.000,000 capital and authority to issue four billion dollars in short term notes to finance private industrial operations will be introduced simultaneously in the sen ate and house.
 For the government own finances Senator Simmons. chairman of the senate finance committee. announced after comforting with Secretary Me Adoo that work probably would be- gin about March 15 or April l on war tax legislation, first to perfect the present law and second to provide both by additional bonds and in- creased taxes for the government 8 needs in the fiscal year 1919
 Secretary McAdoo went to the capi tai to discuss many phases of the war financial situation, meeting Demo- cratic Leader Martin of the senate Senator Simmons and Chairman Owen of the senate banking and cur rency committee.
 Besides arranging for launching in congress Monday of the war finance corporation bill, which will be intro- duced by Senator Simmons in the sen ate and fin the house by Democratic Leader Kitchen. chairman of the ways and means committee, MT. Me
 Adoo urged prompt actions on that measure, and on the administration railroad bill. He also gave the con- gressional leaders information re- garding the governments financial situation. All these questions, ht stated, are more or less related The secretary advised Senator Sim
 mons that 1t would be impossible be- | fore March or April to present any | reliable data regarding future federal | needs, largely because it will not bC 1 known before then how much of tho
 war appropriations congress has au' | thorized will be unextended. Also by 1 that time 1t is hoped to have a more l accurate estimate of returns under the new war tax bill.
 "The revenue legislation undoubt' l edly will be brought out during tfs present session of congress" Mir l Simmons said tonight. 'It probably
 will deal with three principal sub l iects-the amount of bonds, increased taxes and perfection of some figures
 of the present war tax tomorrow" Senator Simmons said he did no
 believe the legislation would affec 1 bond or tax leyies for the year ot ! 1918, but only for 1919.
 There is no question that from the present outlook" said Mir. Simmons
 that taxes for 1919 will be in l creased. Not enormously, but prob ably by increasing levies of the pres
 ent war tax bill with addition pos
 sibly for some new spd eompara | lively minor items
 Action on the revenue legislation
 during the present session of con-
 gress is regarded as essential be-
 cause of the difficulty of getting i; through the next session which ex- pires by limitation in March Sena-
 tor Simmons suggested, too, that l action this year on taxation legisla-
 ton for 1919 would give business a
 chance to foresee conditions and ad- just itself to them

The Parish Council of De-

ply and distribution, of which
J. A. Durio is the chairman,
has inaugurated a vigorous
campaign in an effort to in
crease the production Of food
crops. Letters have been writ
ten to ministers, school teach
ers and prominent mercantile
people in each community of
the parish urging them to use
their influence in arousing our
farmers to the dire necessity
for planting more corn, sorg-
hum, peas and other food
crops.
This example set by the com
mittee should be followed by
all those who look ahead, and
no opportunity to impress our
farmers with this future need
should be lost.
