GERMANY MAY ORDER
GREAT FORCED LOAN
Berlin Discusses Scheme to Raise
200 Billion Marks by Sliding
Scale Levy.

BERLIN, July Is {Havas).-The
question of the necessity of a forced
loan by Germany of 200,000,000.0 900
marks has been raised, according to
the Lokal AnZeiger.
There has been considerable dis
cusslon ir dispatches from Germany
within the last fortnight of possible
levies on property, some of the ad-
vices stating that sliding scale was
contemplated. reaching 10 per cent
for property valued at $4,000 marks
and rising to IS per cent on property
above 100000 marks, the levy being
payable in installments extending
over thirty years.
The latest financial estimates, pub
lished in the North German Gazette,
showed that Germany would have to
raise 17,000.00o,O00 marks annually
from new resources, but in the plan
for raising this amount the principal
sources of reliance appeared to be a
tax on profits from invested capital,
which was indicated as likely to
range from 25 to 80 per cent.

1tagaki. founder of the Japanese lib
eral party, died today.

Count Taisuke Itagaki born in 1873.

Count Goto to investigate political
conditions there.

some years ago when an attempt was
made on his life by Japanese apita-
tor, during one of his canvassine

His specific proposal was that sep

Jesse c. Crawford argued that the

On motion of Mr. Crawford, which

Race rioting in Washington was
discussed by the federation, which

favored permanent retention here of
the Army provost guard. increases in
the personnel and pay of the members
of the police department, increase in
the mounted patrol forces assigned to

of an ti-pistol-carrying law and a
