ATTEMPT MADE To
BRIDE PRINCES
Of M0NTENE GRO
twenty-five Million Dollars Of
fered for InterCeSSion With
Russian Grand Duke for
Separate Peace,

Berlin, April go Correspondence
of The Associated Press. An alleg-
ed attempt to bride a prince and
princess OF Montenegro with $4,000
600 to $4,000, 600 in order to induce
the princess TO intercede with Grand
Duke Nikolaievitch of Eussia for Il
separate peace between Germany and
Russia, featured the close of the trial
yesterday of Captain Count Nayhaus
on charge of treason.
The bribery evidence was contained
in deposition made by Minister Err
berger. Erzberger testified that he
became convinced during the war that
Nayhaus was intensely anxious to
serve his Fatherland in some capaci-
ty. Questioned by Nayhaus how this
might best be DONE ErZ1erger said he
told Nayhaus to try to bring about
separate peace with one of Ger
many's enemies preferably Russia.
Anyone who could do that, Erzberger
told him, would earn the gratitude of
the Fatherland.
Nayhaus told Ergberger that Nikol-
aievitch was the only man through
whom the plan might be accomplish
ed, and that the only person who was
not afraid of the grand duke was a
beautiful former Russian grand duch-
ess, now a Montenegro princess. It
would be necessary. however, to gain
the assent and confidence of the
Montenegrin prince, who at that time
was in Strengthened circumstances.
The deposition continues that Nay
haus suggested the prince could be
won over for $15,00O,000 and that
Erzberger replied that money was no
object that $25,0OO,O0Q would be
forthcoming if needed. Erzberger
said he pointed out to Nayhaus that
the government must not be known in
connection with the negotiations and
that some one would have to go 10
Montenegro. Count Nayhaus Yolun-
tered to make the attempt.
Nayhaus planned, according to Err.
berger's testimony, to land at a quiet
spot on the Montenegrin coast from
an Austrian torpedo boat, or TO enter
the country under false name by way !
of Italy.

THE PENROSE PROGRAM.
MINNEAPOLIS journal.

Senator Penrose becomes chairman
of the finance committee despite pro-
gressive opposition. 1t is the fashion,
because Penrose is from PENNSYLVANIA,
TO refer to him as ''reactionary," and
a high priest of inord!nate protection,
Penrose is no doubt, u boss and has
come UP from the school of practical
politics. But all the same he Is an
able man and real leader. His
financial program. as put forth before
congress met. is so wise and sound
that 1t needs no discussion to secure
approval. 1t contains these six iten6:
Repeal of the luxury taxes
Installation of budget system.
Simplification of the tax laws.
Reduction of taxation of individuals.
Investigation of war expenditures
Repeal of all powers heretofore
granted for price fixing and other
forms Of Interference With legitimate
business.

Of articles manufactured and sold. 40
rs to leave profit Consumers. who
include even children, would all con-
tribute to the interest disbursements.
Fortunately, interest comes directly
back to a multitude of small Liberty
bond and thrift Stamp owners.
The records of the Interstate COM
merce commission. upon which that
body computes rate matters, show in
vestments on property account to ag-
gregate $4,000, OO0, 900. This is
not the amount of securities railways
have issued, which of course is larger
It is the sum actually invested in the
property, according to statements of
the companies.
If the government buys the roads
on that basis and issues bonds for the
amount, with interest at Az per cent,
another billion in bonds to pay off
losses under government operation
and one billion TO restore roads and
equipment to former condition as was
agreed to by act of congress the rail-
way investment of the government will
be 500, ,OO0.0 600. Adding this to
thirty billion war bonds would call
for interest amounting to $2,125,000
O00 per annum or approximately $50
per year for every man, woman and
child of the estimated 10000, 900
people of this country, less about so
of interest that may be paid by for
eign countries to which war loans
were made
The computation does not include
interest on the pre-war bonded debt
which was being taken care of through
taxation, nor does it have in view any
additional railway debt that operation
might cause under government own
ership.
There would have to be additional
taxation to raise the money to pay
for the purchased roads. Thus per
head taxation might be 500 or more,
according to the length Of time the
bonds would run.
There is a redeeming feature about
the war debt interest. 1t is paid by
the public, but goes to our own coun-
trymen because they own the bonds
Eventually the securities will more
largely in the hands of banks and
capitalists. The bonds for railway
purchase would be sold to the people
and follow the same course as the
war bonds.
Eventually banks will sell large
quantities Of all classes of govern
ment securities to investors IN Euro
pean countries, which always absorb
United States bonds, To that extent
interest will leave America unless re-
invested on this side of the ocean.

always deeply interested in all the activi-
ties of the Congregational Church, of
which she was member for about forty

war and at an early date they will make
application for a charter to the national
order'of the American Legion. The Ameri-
can Legion is the association of all the
men in the United States who were in the
naval, marine, or army service of the U.
S. between April, 1917, and Nov. II, 1918.
The Legion purposes to serve the men of
the recent war in the same way that the
q. A. K. has served the Ifen of the Civil
War Already there have been severa
hundred Posts established and it is be-
heved that over 1000, 900 men will be
enrolled before Oct lst. Twenty-Five
Posts have been established in Maine and
State convention was held in Augusta
in July. There will be another conven-
ton in Bar gor in September. The Post
to be established here will undoubtedly
be for the whole of Waldo county. At
the meeting Friday evening several boys
were here from Winterport and from other
towns in tle county who signified their
desire to belong to the local Post Every
effort will he put forth to have as large a
Post as is possible. 1t is desired that
everyone who is entitled to membership
send in their name to the secretary, Lieut..
VIM. l.. Luce, or better still be present at
the next meeting Friday, Aug. 29th, at
Memorial hall. Every member is required
to fill out an application card giving al
the essential information of his life and
service, which will be used as the perma-
nent file of members and from which
data may be obtained for inform alton
in the employment bureau which will
soon be started. Anyone reading this
notice who is in need of help will be
doing patriotic duty by getting in touch
with the chairman of the local Post and
give preference to eX-serviCe men who
are seeking employment. After being in
the service for many months it is urgent
that every possible aid be given these
men who sacrificed personal interests
when their country was in need of men.
No more important reconstruction aid
can be given IN any postwar activity
than in this urgent work of giving suit
able employment to returning men or
men who have taken makeshift Jobs to
keep from being idle. After the meeting
Friday evening smoker was held giving
everyone a chance to get acquainted or
to meet old comrades who saw service
together. Many boys met who left Bel
fast in the same draft contingent but who
became separated and had not met until
that night Already the men ale remi-
niscent and many interesting experiences
Of the war were told. All the service men
in Waldo county are urged again to make
special effort to be present al 7.50 Aug.
29th. An interesting meeting is assured.
