Amsterdam. July 24.-Germany
has made suggestions to the Span
ish government for a peace con-
ference. says the Socialist Vorwaerts
OF Berlin.
The suggestions are:
First-Germany wants no annex
ations or indemnities in the west.
. Second-The peace treaties with
Russia and Rumania may not be
questioned.
Third-The principle OF self-de-
termination of peoples has not been
discussed. but may be settled at the
peace conference. where the fate OF
Belgium also is to be settled
Fourth-The Balkan question Is
TO be settled around the conference
table.
Fifth-The freedom of the seas.
the dismantIing of Gibraltar and the
Suez canal and the right for Ger
many to use. coaling stations.
Sixth-The colonial question Is to
be settled on the basis Of the status
quo.
g The vorwaerts considers this a
very reasonable peace program.

The exemption Of $4,000 allowed by
the present law on estates of resi-
dents of the United States will be con-
tinuel under the new law.
Tho committee was advised yester-
day by the Treasury experts that the
proposed new rate of eighteen per
cent on the net income of corpora
tions, with an assessment of only
twelve per cent on the amount of in
come distributed to shareholders.
which had been tentatively agreed up
on. would produce at least 81, 0O0, 900, =
900 of revenue.
An estimate showing the amount
that would be produced by an in
crease of the normal tax rate on in
dividual incomes from four per cent
to ten per cent was also furnished to
the committee. This change is es-
timated by the experts to be capable
of yielding s1,ssS. 100000. The two
taxes together would therefore yield
s, ,seS, 100000.
Accept Proposed Rate.
The committee accepted these pro-
posed rates as a working basis for
future calculation just as 1t did the
suggested SO per cent increase in
the estate tax. The corporation in
come tax and the individual income
tax, according ito Treasury esti-
mates, will produce about $1,400,-
100000 this year, so the change 70
a 10 per cent normal tax on individuals
and the Is and IL per cent tax on
corporate income represents prac-
tically a doubling of the revenue.
The experts were asked a few
days ago to submit a statement
showing the amounts that would
be raised under a normal individual
tax of per cent, and the same for
10 per cent, IL per cent and Is
per cent. The experts agreed that
the largest return would be receiv-
ed from the 10 per cent rate, and
reported accordingly that the COM
mittee could safely count upon the
sum OF $1,sss, 100000 under this
rate.
The committee decided that II
would be unwise to go to the IL
per cent or Is per cent rate, for the
reason that the deductions, exemp-
tions and attachments would have
to be arranged so that less revenue
might be obtained than under the
10 per cent rate. Future calcula-
tions OF the probable rate on in
dividual incomes. therefore, will be
based on 10 per cent as a starting
point, although this figure is SUBJ
Ject to change as additional sources
Of revenue are uncovered.

What an enormous price in life

The report that tenders had been

the war by the armed strength OF the
allied and American armies 1t was

America I'm wnrlike Mood.
There can be no error in the
statement that never before was the
United States in a more warftke
mood than she Is today. America

made to feel the horrors of the de-
structive warfare which results from
the invasion of any land by IN

No more than passing attention was
given to the reports of the latest
German proposals by any of the
foreign diplomatic agencies here. So
thoroughly has the belief been driven
home that peace talk and German
propaganda are one and the same
thing that it Is now assured that
the German nation will find it 10
easy task to persuade the allies that
they earnestly desire peace.

In,I,tent for Colonies.

The term status auo," applied In
the foregoing to the German colonial
question. has been rather, loosely used
in the past in connection with the
solution of various peace problems.
In general. 1t has been employed as an
a56reviation of the term status quo
ante beflum."
Germany's position heretofore. as in
dieated by her leading statesmen, has
been one of insistence upon the return
Of her colonies, and there has been
nothing in the recent utterances OF
the German leaders tending to show
that this attitude had been changed.
II was even indicated that the pawn"
held by Germany in the shape OF
Belgium was intended to be used to
secure the giving back Of her former
colonial possessions.

THE EIGHT-HOUR DAY

Opinions seem to differ as Ia the
advantages Of the eight-huur day,
particularly just at this time, of
those witnesses who have been call
ed before the federal wage cummis-
sion that Is trying Ia procure data
on which the government may base
a fair and equitable wage scale for
the employees Of the railroads. The
representatives Of the working men
have declared eight hours Is a suni-
ciently long working day, The op-
orators declare there are any mum
her of men who are willing To work
nine, ten, aud even longer hours.
Both agree that the incentive for
the longer hours Is the increased
income. Piece work finds the men
working just as well at the end Of

managers. Time and a half pay for
the extra hours does the same thing
