GIANT PLOT TOFEED.
GERMANY EXPOSED

LONDON. Feb. 11.-What the Brit
ish attorney general describes as "the
most expensive, sustained, and care
fully organized effort to supply the
central empires with foodstuffs yet
exposed" came up in the prize court
today. The fOodstuffs are valued AT
S1,415,OO0. and were contained in ship
ments covering a period Of eighteen
months.
Fourteen ships were engaged in
the attempt. Two of these vessels
were of American register, four Nor
wegian, four Swedish, and four
Danish.
The crown attorney suggested that
although the names Of different per-
sons appear as shippers, all the con-
signments were in fact made by X. d
=. Ncumond. Of New York and Frank
fort. acting for the German govern
mcnt. He ..harEed that the cargoeS
shipped on the steamships DoriSJ and
Henrik were intended for capture BY
the Germans, while the CargOes on the
other vessels were 10 be forwarded
1" Germany through Denmark.
The crown attorney stated tina.
earlier in the war and prior to th=
present ease the Neumonds had been
held in the prize court to have acted
as agents Of the German government
II" charged that in the present case
the NcumOnds had put other. names
than their own as shippers on the
bills Of lading. This, the attorney as
serted, amounted to the fabrication oC
false papers. lie added that an cIab-
crate code was used in connection
with the transaction.

TAXES TOO HIGH, SAYS
PENR0SE OF REVENUE BILL

Senator PenrOse, who will be next
chairman of the Finance Committee,
discussing the tax revenue bill yes
terday, said:
at is sufficient to say that the bill
ia very far from perfect. and the
taxes are too high, particularly on in
,Iividual incomes. The taxes, how
ever. come down considerably next
year, and IL is TO be hoped that this
IS the last bill which will contain
the vCXatious and complicated special
profits taxes. One thing must be
sept in mind. No taxation system
can be devised in the United States
'~"u'rv which can keep
pace with the wasteful and reckless
aI.,uI, .gulCE have become the
fashion during the war.
From now on rigid economy and
retrenchment and regulation of eX-
penditures must prevail, or no sys-
tenn Of taxation will he adequate. and
the country will drift into bank

has succeeded in Teviving the demand
Of women to be known by the aarle

The earliest record Of case Of jfis
kind goes back forty years when
Miss Fcnwfck Miller was elected 10

Of twenty-five, thereby occupying
the most important representative
position that hitherto had been held
by a woman. 4 few months later
she was married TO Mr.. Ford, ard
with his consent kept her maiden
name for all purposes. She has been
known as Mrs. Fenwick Miller ever
since.
Now that women can sit in 2aTiia-

offices on equal terms with men, the
right to keep her own name whether
she remains single or marries is sure
to be conceded in the very near u

light heartedness seemed to disappear
with the meat stalls and great yell
low torches.
Now the old spirit has returned.
The Barrel organs have come out
from their resting places behind The
sausage shops, and, especially on
Saturdays, do their best to drown
the staIlkeepers' voices, which blare
forth. double fortissimo, above the
chlaroscuro OF carrots, cabbaSes,
grapes. greens and flowers.
The meat stalls have not returned,
but a dozen new barrOws have in
vadcd the little streets. They are
peace barrows and hold a variegated
melange of frivOlities in the shape
of tricolor bouquets, small etftgies
Of the Hohenzollerns and flags Of
every friendly nation under the sun.
Children Dance In Streets.
In the gutter in front OF the
French patisseTic groups Of grubby
children gather on Saturdays around
a hurdy gurdy and dance like young
dervishes. Maria, in her striped
shawl and long gold earrings, laughs
gayly as she goes through her le-
pertOire, and never ceases turning
the music making handle except to
pick up the pennies which fall around
her like jingling rain.
In the windows OF the patisserie
have appeared sweet reminders Of
former days, including meringues,

SOCIALISTS TOLD Of
GERMAN BRUTALITY

BERNE. Feb. 11.-Pierre Renaudel,
a French delegate to the international
Socialist conference. rebuked the Ger
man Majority Socialist delegates at
the session for their demand that
German prisoners be returned by the
allies.
"You continue TO insult the allies"
he declared, "by pretending that
French militarism is retaining the
German prisoners. You forget the de-
portations from Lille and from Bel
gium. You try to influence our work
ing classes by alleging that the use
Of your prisoners is unfair competi-
ton for our workingmen. This is our
business, not yours. You continue
your propaganda in favor of the for
mer German government, but IL you
desire to reach results you must adopt
an altogether different attitude"
During the discussion there was
sharp interchange between Oscar
Wells, 4 German Majority Socialist.
and Kurt Eisner. the Bavarian pre-
mier. the latter accusing the German
authorities of i'll treating French prtS-
oners.
Tells OF German Cruelty.
Herr Wells introduced the subject by
arguing that German prisoners should
be released because they would COM
pete with French and Belgian work
ers in France and Belgium. Premier
Eisner said Germany had no right 10
protest after what she had done to
rance and Belgium during the war
adding:
when any one has seen, as I have
seen, French prisoners near Munich
crowded into low, dark sheds with
corpses and men in the agony OF
death from disease. no right to pro-
test remains"
Finally, on the motion OF Camille
HIysmans, a Belgian delegate, a res
olution was adopted declaring that as
allied prisoners wee returned home
from the central empires, German
prisoners also should be returned, in
lependently OF legitimate complaints
against Germany.
Challenge to the Entente.
NJ. Grumbach, delegate from Upper
Alsace, protested against the speech
made in the German National Assem-
bly, at Weimar by DIT. Eduard David,
president of the assembly, in which
David declared that AIsace-Lorralne
belonged to the German people.
Grumbach's remarks were indorsed
by Carl Kautsky, German Independent
Socialist, who declared that the cleo
ton OF DR.. David as president of
the National Assembly was chal-
lenge to the entente.
\ proposal was made by the Rus
sian delegates that a commission OF
the conference representing all shades
Of socialism should be sent to inquire
into the political and economic stu
alton in Russia. The conference will
pass upon this question later.
