Complete Destruction Of
Economic Life Threaten
ed by Expenditures.
By BORIS DERUGINsKY.
Special Cable to The Washington
Herald and New York Tribune.

Herald and New York Tribune.
Copenhagen. Feb. 12.-The huge war
expenses of Germany are Threatening
the destruction of her whole economic
life. and the possibility Of coniscation
Of private property looms up in the i'm
mediate future.
Count Preyssing, in the Bavarian
parliament, recently interpellated the
government about the financial situa-
ton, according to the Weser Zeitung.
and in the course Of his address made
the startling declaration that the in
debtedness Of the German Empire. In
cluding interest on loans. had reached
total Of s1s. 500. 900 a year-or more
than s54.OOo, 900 a day.
This amount represents from 50 to so
per cent of the whole income of the
empire, as contrasted with an indebt-
edness of only 1913 per cent Of the total
income previous to the war.
Count Preyssing declared 1t would be
impossible for Germany to cover her
expenses without contribution in many
ways from sources hitherto untouched.
The minister Of finance. in reply, ad-
mitted the seriousness OF the situation,
saying that the war taxes had reached
$5,5o0.o0o monthly. and that the cost OF
the war had increased monthly from
s1,5oo.ooo q month at the beginning of
the war to g. 100000 at the present time.
Germany. in any case, he said, would
have to increase her income by slo.-
1000 900 yearly.
The minister denied the rumor that
this financial burden would be placed
upon the richer classes OF the popula-
ton, but declared II would be proper
tionately distributed. He added that
every responsible German statesman
considered a war indemnity necessary.

For the first time definite figures OF

Only Two Types Made.
Only two types Of the Liberty are be-
ing made, both twelve cylinders. One
is for the navy. designed for maximum

for the army for high compression at

American flyers for the planes these
motors will drive no longer are going
to France for their final training; they
are getting advanced training here.
At the beginning Of the training pro-
gram the French military officials
urged that America send all the stu
dent aviators she could to the ad-

and America swamped them so that
they had to cry a halt temporarily.
Those who have finished their ad-

final polish in actual war work as
units with allied squadrons before
America launches her own individual

Indigestion and practically all forms

that disagree with them. that irritate

hsrmful acid and prevent the forms-

There is probably no better, safer
or more reliable stomach antiacid than
Bisufated MagnesiR and IL is widely

a digestant. But a teaspoOnful OF the

food will ,neutraliZe the excess acidtty
which may be present and prevent its
further formation. This removes the
whole cause of the trouble and the
meal digests naturally and health
fully without need OF pepsin pills or
artificial digestants.

DITCH PENSION BILL
FOR THIS SESSION

The death kneI OF the Mcclellan
civil pension bill for Government
clerks and employees for this session
has been sounded.
Hope Of passing the bin this session
was practically lost when the Senate
took up the revenue bill.
Senator Simmons got the revenue
bill made the unfinished business. This
displaces the pension bill. and il can
not be brought up except by unani-
nous consent or by vote of the
Senate
Advocates Of the bill said today
they saw practically no hope OF its
passage.
This means that the clerks and
employees of the Government who
have fought for years for a pension
and retirement system have once more
lost. This is in spite OF the fact the
Democratic party at St Louis put
pension and retirement plank in its
platform
