Pay Full Cost,
Senators Demand
They Are Stirred By Report
That Germany Is to Escape
Too Lightly.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE
statement that Germany is to be let
off with the payment Of "fulI repara-
ton for damage leaving the Allies
to pay the cost of the war, has stirred
the Senate, If there is anything on
which that bady is agreed it is that
Germany shall be heavily fined for
her crime against civilization and, if
the London Standard correctly re-
cords the decision Of the Peace Coun-
Gil, an explosion is likely when the
treaty is submitted here.
Senator Lodge and all the leading
Republicans frequently have express
ed the conviction that Germany must
pay to the limit for having begun the
war, and contend that reparation fol
losses of property and possibly un-
warranted destruction of life, must
be made. The Democrats are not be-
hind the Republicans in declaring
that no other policy must be accept
ed.

Peace Delegates
Are Scratching
With French Itch

PARIS, Feb. 1.-The newest irri-
tation to arise at the peace confer
ence is what the French call "gale"
and what Is known elsewhere as "the
French itch" It is an annoying, but
not a dangerous ailment Of the skin
and is something like "the seven years
ITCH" which is indigenous in almost
every country under local names.
The itch is particularly in evidence
in Paris now, having been brought
by soldiers from the battlefront.
If any Of the American delegates
to the peace conference have con-
tracted it, diplomacy forbids betray-
al of the fact, but the parasite is ram
pant at the headquarters of the Amer
ican mission. Many attaches who
now have animated recollections of

some Alsace-Lorraine regiments

war expenses, exclusive Of Allied
loans; $4,000, 900 less than in De-
cember; $50, 100000 less than in No

now are receiving payment for ma.
terials delivered long ago, and this
keeps up expenses. The liquidation
of war contracts is expected to be a
new source of high outlays for the
next month or two.
The Treasury cited figures on the
present Government outlay to empha-
size the necessity for another big wal
loan Of $4,000, 100000 Of $4,000,

now are paid largely out of borrow

ers of the Governments short term

It is reported that Won Hindenburg

BACK TO PLAIN MISTER"

(From the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph. )
 The more that is heard of the plans and personnel of the American Legion, the organi- zation of soldiers who fought in the great war, the more general the popular approval. Its leaders seem to be guided by sound common sense: One feature that stands out is its sturdy democracy. This was shown at the initial meeting in St. Louis. No distinctions were drawn between those who had been o
 ficers and those who had served as privates in the ranks. The differences that were neces- sary, and so recognized during the period of active service, were promptly cast aside when these brave men met in civil life. Now come, word that the executive committee of the l.
 zion will recommend to the forthcoming na- tional convention at Minneapolis the disuse of all military titles in referring to officials ot the order. 1t is the purpose of the Ameri- can Legion" says Henry D. Lindsey, mot only to cease using military titles in the rec ords and proceedings of the national organ- zation but to foster the same action on the part of the state branches and local post, which are now being formed turnout the coun- try. Furthermore, the custom handed down from the civil war of preserving an off- cer's military rank after he had returned to civil life will be discouraged"
 That last remark indicates radical de- parture from American customs, but whole some one. It will tend also to discourage the lreprehensible habit of attaching military titles to persons who never had the slightest claim to them One is reminded in this connection of the British general who, upon the occasion of Colonel Houses first visit tO OndOn af fter we entered the war, sought his expert opinion on certain military problems. It would be re- freshing should the American Legion succeed ln carrying out the reform which its execu- tive committee now faVOrS.

REPEAL OF LUXURY TAX
(From the Louisville Times.)

Congress should be easily brot to the view of the retail merchants turnout the country with regard to the repeal of the luxury tax provisions of the revenue law. The estimates of return upon which these special taxes were based probably were too optimistic in the first place; and while they do not appear to have acted as great deterrent upon trade, they are clumsy expensive, and unnecessary at this time. The merchants should act with the clos est cooperation to obtain the repeal of these provisions.
 Neither congress nor any other body is able by taking counsel to decide what luxury is Where does utility depart forever and where does indulgence begin? The case of a purchaser of pair of cuff buttons from a five-and-ten-cent store comes to mind. The buttons cost ten cents, they were made of brass and charge of one cent for the luxury tax was made. Those buttons were neither beautiful nor non-essential, but they perform ed the service of holding the cuffs in question closed. They should not have been taxed.
 Frequently silk shirt will outlast one or another material. Just so madras shirt at five dollars will outlast two shirts of non taxable material. Taxable shoes probably are more durable and easier on the feet than non- taxable footgear. If an article is more com fortable and more durable than cheaper one, it cannot be said with reason that the cost Tier article is luxury. And more, what might
