W7lLLIAM SCHMIDT, stationer, at
W 944 Third Avenue, has agreed to
find some less offensive decoration for
pen wipers than the American flag or
the shamrock. He came to this con-
clusion after being subpenaed before
Magistrate Henry H. Curran in the
offering for sale pen wipers decorated
with the national emblem.
"If you continue that you're sure to
get into trouble with patriotic boys
and girls" said the magistrate. "Why
not use something else-as the sham
rock. for instance ?"
"What! and get into trouble with
the Sim Feiners 2" demanded Schmidt.
"No, I'll use something much less sig
nticant for the decoration of my pen
wipers."

WILL BE- Is YEARS
PAYING WAR DEBT
PEOPLE BE TAXED $765, 100000
INTEREST EACH YEAR. SAT-
100000 SINKING FUND.

The American people must pay
$1,000, 100000 year for the next
25 years to clear the war debt of this
nation, according to treasury depart
ment figures, based on an estimate
of the final war debt. The calcula-
ton is made on the assumption that
Americas ret war debt, with deduc-
tons for loans to the allies, will APP
proximate $18,OO0,OOO,000. There
are those who contend it will be more.
Interest on this amount, at the rate
of ofur and a quarter per cent, will
total 100000 a year In addi-
ton, $417,000,000 will have to be
provided each year as a sinking fund
to redeem all bonds in % years.
Tax Levies Will Be Heavy.
To carry out such a plan, includ-
ing the proposed cumulative sinking
fund provision of 232 per cent, tax
levies of 81, 200,000,000 a year will
be necessary for 25 years.
The treasury department, if au-
thorized to proceed under the sug-
gested plan, will buy up bonds on the
market each year, or call them for
redemption at the periods provided.

SUFFRACETTES ARE
AFTER MARTINS SCALP
WOULD DEPOSE DEMOCRATIC
SENATE LEADER, WHO OPPOS-
ES THEIR RESOLUTION.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Under-
meath the political surface here are
rumblings indicative of an effort to
defeat Senator Thomas S. Martin, of
Virginia, for retention as democratic
leader of the senate in the next con-
gress, because of his unwavering and
unspoken opposition to the passage
of the resolution to amend woman
suffrage into the constitution.
The administration fought very
hard for the adoption of the suffrage
resolution. After changing from his
previous advocacy of woman suf-
frage as a state matter entirely, Pres
ident Wilson used his utmost powers
of persuasion upon senators whose
votes would have turned the scale. 1t
is known to everyone here that on
either of the two occasions when the
Suffrage resolution came to a vote in
the last session of the Sixty-ffth con-
gress the resolution would have car
ried if the senior Virginia senator
had been willing to change his posi-
ton as the president had done.
Not Likely to Succeed.
There is nothing new about the
talk of defeating Martin for the
leadership" However, it doesn't hap
pen easily. The only time it ever did
happen here when the Virginian was
in direct line by seniority for this
honor was when William J. Bryan, as
the administration Warwick managed
to get the nominal leadership for Sem
ator Kern, of Indiana, even then hav-
ing to consent to compromise which
made Martin the real leader of the
senate in committee assignments and
concrete power.
The fact that it had been a mistake
to deny the Virginian the title that
went with the work he was doing was
soon recognized.

HOTEL ON WHEELS
new TOURING idea
TWO COUPLES WILL MAKE 1000
MILE TRIP TO CALIFORNIA
AND BACK IN 1T.

Touring IN your own hotel is a new
motoring idea for which Charles G.
Barley, president of the Indiana
Truck Corporation, Marion, Ind, is
responsible.
Mr. Barley and his wife, and Har-
ry Goldthait and his wife this spring
will make a 4,000-mile trip to Cali
fornia and back in a "hoteI' built
upon twO-ton Indiana truck chassis,
mounted upon pneumatic tires.
Built into the chassis is a sleeping
room for five people, including the
driver. There is a kitchen and com
plete cooking apparatus, a small liv-
ing room, hall 20 inches wide be-
tween the sleeping compartments and
a lighting system for lighting up at
night, which furnishes twenty or
twenty-five electric lights. The truck
IS also equipped with lavatory and
toilet, tools, shovels, picks, power
full searchlight for the drivers seat,
clothing chests, etc.
The truck also has a refrigerator
for preserving and keeping food, and
it will hold a large quantity of ice
Water is also to be cooled by specia
device in the refrigerator. The sleep.
ing compartments for each person
are 26 inches wide, with springs anG
hair mattress. The top of the truck
is equipped with canopy, like a reg
ular army truck, and one side of this
canopy is Of sufficient length so ii
can be stretched to the ground, three
stakes put into it, and made into q
regular tent.
There is also a space provided in
the "hoteP' for motorcycle, for use
of the driver on special errands tax
ing him off the main line of travel
The truck, in addition to being
equipped with pneumatic tires. has
shock absorbers and snubbers, and
Mr.. Barley states that without pneu,
matte tire equipment such a trip
would be impossible. The standard
wheel base of the truck has been
heightened to provide for the equip
ment.

BUYS 5000 GEORGIA ACRES
ON WHICH TO HUNT GAME
Rich New Yorker Acquires Quite a
Nice Little Patch in Which to
Sport With Rod and Gun.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-By the pur-
chase Of 1000 acres of land on Hill
ton Head, the former game reserve
of Mr.. W. T. Clyde, former president
Of the Clyde Line and shipping in
terests, Mr. Roy A. Rainey, visitor
at Savannah, has become owner of
a large section of this island. which
he will maintain as a preserve.
1t has been estimated that it is one
of the most valuable pieces of hunt
ing property along this section of
the coast and was in possession of
Mr.. w. P. Clyde for over forty years.
Mr.. Rainey is frequent visitor
from New York, and came through
not long ago on a hunting trip. He
has spent great deal of time at the
Isle of Hope and ST. Catherine Is
land.
One of the southern homes of Mr..
Rainey is Cherry Hill, in Bryan coun-
tv, which he purchased from Mr.. Paul
Haskell. His original residence was
Cleveland, though he has been living
in New York for a number of years
and has a large Long Island resi-
nee in the district outside of Brook
lyn much frequented by New York
business men.

KAISER IS SAVED
BY VOTE OF U. S.
MORALLY GUILTY, BUT AMERI-
CANS THINK PHYSICAL PUN
ISHMENT is ILLEGAL.

PARIS, France.-William Hohen-
zollern, former emperor of Germany,
and his principal leaders probably
will escape FL punishment except de-
nunciations by the allies and the
United States and exile forever from
their native land, thus preventing
them from having any future hand
in the destmies of the nation which
they once ruled with an iron hand.
This is the verdict Of the commits
sion appointed to fix responsibility
for the war. Its findings still are in
complete, but enough has been made
public to show that it was the United
States which cast the deciding vote.
Rule Him Morally Guilty.
The commission has found that the
kaiser and his officials were morally
guilty of the most heinous crimes,
but that physical punishment would
not reflect credit upon the nations
inficting it. The Americans on the
commission were unwilling to sane
ton anything which might not come
wholly within the constitution of the
United States and the European dele
gates did not care to recommend pun
ishment unless supported by the Unit
ed States
Meanwhile the former kaiser still
is in Holland. 1t has been rumored
at various times that he would leave
and go to some other country, but
he has remained at the castle to which
he fed when he left Germany last
November. 1t is also hard to see how
the powers can get hold of him with
out violating treaties with Holland.
The fear persists that unless the
former emperor is kept under con-
troll of the allies he may return to
Germany when conditions there are
settled and may return to rule.
May Ask Holland to Give Him Up.
One suggestion is that Holland be
asked to give I'm Count Hohenzollern
of her own accord or give guaran-
ties that she (Holland) will be re-
sponsible to the allies for keeping
him informed for life

BRYAN SEES FLAWS
IN LEAGUE DRAFT
EMINENT AMERICAN COMMON
Err WOULD AMEND PRESENT
DRAFT IN MANY WAYS.

WASHINGTON. D. Civilian
Jennings Bryan issued a statement
here tonight endorsing the principle
of league of nations, but suggest
ing amendments to the proposed con-
stitution which among other things
would preserve specifically the Mon
roe doctrine, enlarge the proportion
ate voting power of the United States
and make it clear each member ma
ton might decide for itself whether
it would support DEGREES of the
leaugue's general council.
While pointing to imperfections
Mr.. Bryan urged they should not be
allowed to lead to the final rejection
of the plan, declaring risks to be
run in accepting the league were less
than those involved in rejection and
returning ito the old ways of blood
and slaughter"
Mr.. Bryan dictated the statement
from his sick bed at the home Of
friends, where he has been confined
for nearly three weeks. He said the
league of nations idea, the great
est step toward peace in a thousand
years" was taken from the thirty
arbitration treaties negotiated by the
United States while he was secretary
of state 1t was not to be expected,
he said, that so great an idea would
be made perfect in so short a time
and added while President Wilson
had done the best he could" he
would be helped by intelligent and
friendly criticism from the American
public.
The covenant of the league of ma
tions does not figure as a part of the
peace treaty, but will be treated sep
arately, although the treaty makes
frequent reference to the duties
which are to be entrusted to the
league.

ATLANTA In FEAR
OF BLUE LAW FAD
CANDY AND SODA WATER PEG
PIE ARE UP IN ARMS. MAT
TER BEFORE COUNCIL.

ATLANTA, Ga.-And now they
are trying tc turn back the calendar
some hundreds of years, back to the
time when they burned witches and
kept sad and solemn faces all Sunday
that they were not engaged at at
tending services--and all this in At
lanta.
1t seems that certain councilmen
have decided that it is wrong to sell
candy, to drink soda drinks, to buy
peanuts for the monkeys or the ele-
plants at the park, or to smoke a
bit or the enjoyment of the inner
man.
Perhaps they are feeling the pinch
of the times and the call of the in.
come tax, hut anyway they, so it is
said, want to put Atlanta back on
blue law schedule.
1t is understood that this will be
the course\outlined at the next SEES
sion of city, council, when an effort
will be made to repeal the present
city law allowing such sales.
Anyway, the soda water men, and
the cigar stand people are up in arms
over the proposal and have already
begun marshaling their forces to put
an end to the step before council gets
real serious about it. There are sew
eral councilmen committed to the
project, but at present, at least, it is
not believed they have sufficient
strength to put it over.

UNREST In ENGLAND
Due TO HEAVY TAX
DEVELOPING MENACING SYMP-
TOMS. IMMEDIATE MONEY is
THE NEED OF THE ALLIES.

NEW YORk-The movement of
dangerous European unrest which
has passed from Russia into Ger
many is now advancing further west
ward and is developing menacing
symptoms in Great Britain.
Lloyd Georges warnings of civil
strife is not a rhetorical phrase, for
there has been accommodating a long
list of working mems demands in the
British Isles which have failed to be
satisfactorily adjusted.
Indemnity Pays Only Small Part
The one result of the peace con-
gress which to the present has most
nearly affected the people of Great
Britain and the other allied nations
in Europe is the confessed inability
of the delegates to make the Germans
pay for the war.
Only a small part of the taxation
in the victorious countries can be
met by an indemnity. Less than 20
per cent. of the total indemnities
demanded of Germany can be ex-
tracted from her during the next ten
years. More than this, say econo-
mists, would probably make Germany
bankrupt, necessitating a general
compounding of the amounts of the
creditor nations. 1t is immediate
money that the allies want, and this
they can get only in very limited
sums.
Disquieting Growth of Unrest.
The diSquieting growth of popular
unrest, therefore, cannot be over
come by extracting sufficient funds
or goods from the central powers to
relieve the economic situation in
western Europe. A normal income
tax of % per cent. seems, in conse-
Quence, inevitable. This is peril
ously near the danger line of two
seventies which economists declare is
the uttermOst tax that can be impos-
ed on a working population without
decreasing efficiency and lessening
the total sum received in taxation
The enormous tax now hanging over
Europe is chiefly responsible for the
discomfort which has seized upon the
labor classes of Great Britain. Unless
some means can be found of tighten
ing the burden the situation may be.

Napoleonic wars there was for time

THIRTY BILLION IS
BILL VS.. GERMANY
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS TO BE
COLLECTED IMMEDIATELY.
WILL PAY FOR YEARS.

Thirty billion dollars will be about
the size of the war bill presented
Germany by the United States and
the allied nations. The reparation
committee of the peace conference
has virtually completed its work, ac-
cording to Paris reports, and this
sum has been tentatively agreed up
on, after discussion on figures rang
ing from $4,000, 100000 to $40,-
600, 100000.
Germany will pay $5,000,000,0OO
of this amount Immediately, it is
further said, part by using the liquid
assets within her own borders and
part by bond f1otation in those cOun-
tries to which payment is to be made.
America, Great Britain, France and
Italy will be asked to absorb the most
of these German bonds.
Will Pay for Many Years.
The balnce of the indemnity will
be collected over a period of years,
during which the Germans will pay
interest at rate that will provide a
sinking fund for a canceling the en-
tire debt.
1t is highly probable, too, that the
principle of preferred claims will be
recognized by the peace council. This
means that those countries which suf-
fered the invasion of the German ar
mies-France, Belgium, Italy, Serbia
and Roumania-will have first call
on the indemnity.
