EXPERT BOARD TO
FIX WAR INDEMNITY
German Nation In Good Finan.
cial Condition To Pay Losses
To Be Imposed By Allied
Nations

By agreeing to impose a sufficient
indemnity upon Germany, the Allies
have undertaken to leave to effici-
ency experts the exact amount of
money and the quantity of goods the
German people must pay for having
caused the war.
The principle under which the in
demnity commission will operate,
will be to take every penny the Ger
mans can pay, while at the same
time not impoverish Germany in a
manner to reduce the peoples pro-
ductive capacity. 1t will never be
possible for the Germans to remune-
rate the democratic nations for the
larger part of the losses caused by
the war. But, whatever the German
people can do toward tightening the
burden Of the rest of the world is
now certain to be exacted.
In many respects the German peo-
pie are in better financial position to
carry on huge war debts than are
other European nations. They have
contracted no financial obligations
abroad during the war, and their
own tax rate in peace times was low.
Thus, a large part of the taxes in
Prussia were met by the earnings Of
the Prussian state railways.
If the principle of no indemnity
were to be accepted by the Allies,
Germany would be in a stronger f.
nancial position after the signing of
peace than most of the Allies them
selves. This means a quicker re-
covery by Germany in many ways
than by her victorious enemies, who
have saved the world from medieval
domination.
Such result would unquestionably
be a serious menance to future peace.
The German spirit OF revenge would
be encouraged by Germany's compara-
ative financial power. 1t would,
therefore, be necessary to curb Ger
many financially as matter of self
protection quite apart from the de-
mand of the overtaxed democracies,
that the German people be forced to
come to their Allies relief.
The German government under
stands this perfectly. 1t is one of
Germany's own rules of war. The
Germans will pay ruefully but they
cannot feel an injustice has been done
them. 1t is their own law, though
administered less harshly than they
themselves would have forced it.

entire family, himself included, had
the flu and that they cured them
selves with sagebrush tea. This is
an old Indian remedy and they found
it very efficacious in breaking up the

is made by taking the twigs of the
common sagebrush and boiling it for
several hours and drinking it un-
diluted in large quantities.

100000 Hogs
Sold in November

The International Live Stock AS
sociation says producers received
more than S37, 100000 for hogs sold
in the Chicago market last month.
This estimate is based on the arrival
of 100000 hogs at the local stock
yards, the minimum market price of
which was fixed by the Government
at $3.50 per hundred pounds.
Livestock expertsdeclare the farm
mers are now receiving more than
twice as much for their hogs as be-
fore the war and the shipments are
from 10 to Is per cent above normal.
the price of cattle and sheep also
have increased enormously compared
with pfe-war figures.
These estimates are based on a
seven-hour livestock buying day at
the Chicago Union Stockyards and a
six-day week.

In response to the request OF
Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo, William S. Hart, the IA
nous Western movie actor, will
tour the Western and Pacific coast
cities to speak on the Third Lib

says that all the money that he
has in the world is invested in
these bonds with the exception OF
1924, with which he has purchas-
ed war savings stamps.
The following extract from a

Foreign Born Folks
On the Honor Roll

Every resident in Tacoma OF
foreign nationality on the Honor
Roll is the slogan adopted yes
terday by the executive committee
of the foreign bureau of the Lib
erty loan committee.
This was suggested by the
chairman of the Italian group,
Alphonse Carbone, who reported
that he had instructed his COM
mittee to urge every Italian in the
city to make a subscription by
Saturday night, April 6. The Ia
coma Honor Roll will be COM
pleted on Saturday night at IL
o'clock.
The executive committee of the
foreign bureau sent out by spe-
cial messengers subscription
blanks to the chairman of each
one of the groups of foreign
speaking citizens.
BY instruction from Washing
ton, each subscriber Is to indi-
cate his nationality. In harmony
with this, each solicitor under the
foreign bureau will secure the in
dication Of the nationality of sub
scribers. The executive commit
tee expects when the totals are
given that the residents who
claim as their mother tongue
other than the Yankee language
will have set pace for the whole
country.
