Pendennis paid no attention; she
meant nothing 70 him, and George
laughed at her fOndly. "YOu are the

exclaimed. "Are you going to drop the

"Oh, not for years! So there's the

Lord Astor's Double Taxes.

When William Waldorf Aston. now Wis

did not figure on war and taxes. His
property being in the United States main

income was derived.
In order to beat kaiserism, tax gatherers
everywhere were given extreme powers
On this side of the ocean Lord Aston was

Time for Reason.
From the New York Post.

In view of what the sane elements in Germany are doing to sur
mount social and political disorganization, one can only welcome. the
aid extended by the entente towards the same end. The supreme eco
monte council at Paris approved the sale OF Jaw materials to Ger
many out OF stocks in hand, though the arrangements are still to be
worked out. No time should be lost in the process. a clear recogni-
ton of necessity and justice based ON entente confidence in its own
strength must supplant the nightmare panics of a Germany concoct-
ing dire plots by hiding parks of artillery in junker barns and Sc
crehy drilling new armies. The volunteer forces which are being re-
cruncd in Germany are not a menace to the entente. They are in
tended to act, and have acted, as a safeguard against upheaval and
chaos which would only leave the entente without a government to
talk peace with. We have passed through the irrational stage in
which huge indemnites weret to be exacted from a Germany that was
to be economically crippled. 1t is now high time to recognize that
there can be no peace with a Germany which cannot offer the guar
antees of peace.
