Copenhagen, Dec. 11.EDr. Schiff- CT, the German finance minister, in a statement issued in Berlin, says fl peace had not come this, fall the ann ount of money required from imper- ial taxes for the coming year would have reached 14,O0O OOO,OO0 marks and that the taxation from the various states would have totaled 5 billion marks.

 "If we continue as we have been go- ing, ruin is inevitable" he said. We squander money on irrevelent details of state administration. There is a lack of employment and consequent ly our credit at home ana aproad is failing. A new bill for war taxation will be introduced at once anc will be retroactive as far back as 1914.
 According to reports from Berlin the entente governments intend to refuse to send foodstufrs to Germany until demand they are said 70 nave made for the dissolution of the Sold iers' and Workers Councils is car ried out. The allies, the report adds will reserve the right to march into Germany.

I>>~>~.>>~~>>~>>>> 5 rHE RED cRoss ROLL CALL.

. When "the greatest mother in . the world' calls the roll the . week of December 1923 the . hope of the American Red Cross . .is that the answer for the entire . American people will be: "All . nresent, or accounted for" . It will be the occasion for . 22,0O0,00O adults and ,S,OO0,OO0 . children to renew their member . ship and for all others to join. . One happy slogan of the roll call . announces that 'all you need Is . heart and dollar." . Why does the Red Cross at = Christmas conduct a member . ship campaign? Because it unites ' the people in an intimate way ' with the organization they have . supported so magnificently. In . other countries one of the most . impressive things about the . American Red Cross is the size . of It's membership, attesting . truly popular approval.
 ' This Christmas, when our . country Is out of the deep waters = of the war, every dollar paid for . an annual membership in the >f Red Cross will be direct . Christmas gift to our land, air . and sea forces and to those who . have felt the sting of war in a ~ way that we in this country . have not experienced. The min- . istrations of the Red Cross will . be as good a substitute for . Christmas at home as can be . furnished under the circum- = stances.
 . The women of America, see ' ing in the Red Cross an exten- ' sion upon a universal scale of . the mothering instinct, will be . quick to answer Here" to the . roll call, because service and . sacrifice are womanly qualities . and they are Red Cross quali- . ties.
 . President Wilson, as president . of the American Red Cross, . says: II summon you to the . comradeship!"

CARPENTER OUT OF FEDERAL POSITION
 |S HUNDRED HERE

While it has not been officially an nounced, it is generally known among the government employees in the federal building, that Lewis T. Carpenter, United States collector of internal rev enue for this district, has resigned that position. There is lively hum of interest in the offices of the govern ment building with reference to who shall be named to succeed Carpenter. Information that would tend to alleviate the suspense of some is not forthcom- ing, yet all are on the qul ylve to get advance data on the new appointee.
 Carpenter is said to be in Dallas, Texas, where his private business has called him. It is on account of his per sonal interests, it is whispered, that Carpenter was obliged, of his own ac- count, to relinquish the title. Word to him by telegraph, Monday, received no answer up to late last night. In fact, it was stated that Carpenter could not be located at the offices of the Western Indemnity company, where he is said to be at this time.
 Harry Tritle is said to be an aspirant for the appointment, but when the sub ject was preached to him he said: T would take it if it were rendered. but as far as going out after it actively is concerned, have not done so.'
 The name of George D. Morris of Prescott is also mentioned in the same connection, as well as one who is at present connected with the collectors department.
 When or whether the announcement of Carpenters resignation will be made definitely known is a mystery. He is said to have forwarded it to, Congress- man Carl Hayden, but this could not be confirmed.
