This agreement aims primarily to

Holland Strives to

Holland is in an especially dangerous
position. and is doing her utmost to-
avert Teutonic III will by refusing 10
take advantage of our promise to sup
ply her with food if she will send her
ships for it,
The Allies and this country are under
a pledge not to seize any more Dutch
ships. But Holland keeps her ships at
home, perhaps because she fears that
Germany will torpedo them if they
leave port. but pretending to- fear that
the United States will seize them if
they come here.
Her food situation is 50 grave that
she cannot maintain this attitude long.
And there is reason to think that
She is watching the progress of Hin

appearing to accept the Allied seizure
of her shipping and sending to this

TAXES VS.. LOANS

Germany has raised less than 4
Per cent Of her war expenses from
taxation. The war is thus almost
satirely financed by mortgaging her
national resources. The mortgage
already amounts to about half her
wealth.
Italy has raised IL per cent Of her
var cost by taxation and the rest by
loans. France has raised about 16
per cent by taxation, and Great
Britain nearly 20 per cent.
The United States proposes to
raise no less than 40 per cent by
taxation.
a The war budget for next year is
estimated at $4,000, 900, 900. De-
ducting $4,000. 900, 900 for loans to
our allies. we have an actual expen-
diture of $4,000, ,O0O. 10000, OF which
congress expects to raise $S,000,-
100000 by taxes and the rest by
bond issues. OF this $4,000, 900,
900 about s6,400,O00,0 900 is to come
from war profits and incomes.
The total budget is beyond any
expenditure ever made by any ma
ton. The sum of $4,000, 600, 900 IL
far more than anybody ever dream
ed of collecting from any people by
taxation in one year. But there Is
no question Of our being able to pay
that much out of our current income
without crippling our industry and
finance.
II is sound policy, too. We shall
be glad of 1t when the war is over
eho we lhu tudt VIC nave dlIedu,
paid nearly half the cost of It, while
most of the other belligerents, un.
able or unwilling to endure heavy
taxation, emerge with an appalling
burden. We shall be In the best
plight Of ALL and Germany will be
In the worst We shall be solvent
with our war bonds in big demand

children. and think 1t pity that
they should be obliged so soon to
undergo the hardships OF military
life,
That is a very mistaken view. Ask
any well-informed physician when a
man is at the height Of his physical
powers. Ask any practical psycholo-
gist when man Is best fitted ment-
ally for the lighting business. Ask
any philosopher. Ask any student
Of history. They win tell you that
at Just about his 21st year a man
has a combination Of nshtins pow
ers unequalled before or after.
It is the football age, the age
when men make their records In ath-
letics. There is bodily strength,
nervous energy. ability to recuper-
ate quickly. There is a spirit OF
competition. a love Of adventure.
There Is q disregard for conse-
quences that comes partly from the
natural vigor OF youth and partly
from the fact that the man has not
yet assumed sobering responsible
ties. He is seldom hampered by
family ties or business obligations.
He has not yet taken a hxed place
in the world Of people and work. He
Is free, with a love OF combat and a
matchless equipment for combat.
It Is the fghting age par excel
lence. You who are older, don't
pity those lads as they march on to
the war. They are better men than
you are for the work in hand. and
they will have the time Of their lives
doing II.

FIRE ENGINES or ALL SORTS
pared With the Splendid Ones
In Use Today.

The first FIRE engine seen In America
was received Mt Boston In 1879. II
was made in England and was Of the
type called "hand squirts." The In
strument required the labor Of three
men. one on each side to hold the ma
chine steady and to direct the nozzle.
while the third man worked the plung-
er.
This contrivance was not much OF
an Improvement over the "siphons
used In confagratIons," described by
Hero Of Alexandria In his work on
pneumatics. written about 150' B. O.
At the close Of the seventeenth cen
tury a slight advance was made IN
Newham's improved engine. patented
in England. which consisted OF q
strong cistern of oak, mounted on
wheels. and a suction pipe Of leather.
Steam fire engines had their begin
ming in England in 1880. when Braith.
waite built an engine Of six h0rsepow-
er. weighing 5000 pounds. Though its
performances we're highly spoken Of,
this attempt TO apply steam to fire en-
gInes cannot he said to have been
successful owing to its great weight.
A. y. Latta Of Cincinnati buiff mn en-
gInc THAT was O vast Improvement over
its predecessors. and It was in the
Ohio city. In 1899 that the steam hre
engine first definitely snpplanted the

such quantities Of electric lights, and
