The children were gathered around
the fire for the storytelling hour be
fore bed time. Uncle Ted settled him
self In his easy chair, lighted his cigar,
and invited Jack TO suggest a topic
for the evenings talk.
'-This morning at school," said Jack,
"one OF the boys told the teacher he
had been reading what some Congress-
men and Government officials at
Washington had been saying about
the need OF taxes being kept lust as
high as they are now and that II they
are reduced at all the Treasury will
not have enough money 10 pay It's
bills. He wanted 10 know why, now
that the war Is over, it Is necessary

sons for the high taxes was the need

erty bonds. ] wish you would tell us.
Uncle Ted, why Il Is that so much Of
our tax money has TO 20 for interest,
and II there Is not some way OF stop
ping those payments and cutting down
taxes that much"
-'rhat Is a pretty big question for
children OF your age 10 understand"
replied Uncle Ted, surprised that Jack
should want TO know how the Gov
eminent raises and spends its money.
But the matter OF taxation is one
that affects all OF us very closely. and
the children In the schools should
have some idea, at least, OF the rea-
sons for II. 1t Is too big a subject for

HISTORY, OF THE
EBERT COY NMENT'

Friedrich Ebert, formerly head Of
the main committee Of the Reichstag
and leader of the Social Democratic
party, was elected first president Of
the new German progressive repub-
lie" for term of seven years on
February IL. 1919, by the National
Assembly at Weimar. He has been
characterized as Z. type Of Pan-Ger-
man or imperialistAc Socialist.
81 It was the Ebert government
which arose from the ruins Of the
Hohenzellern dynasty and which en-
abled the Entente Allies to conclude
peace with Germany.
On November 10. 1918, when for,
mer Emperor William abdicated and
hed, Ebert was the imperial chan
cellor, having succeeded Prince Max
milan OF Baden who was instru-
mental In negotiating the armistice
He at once assumed command and
succeeded in quelling revolutionary
outbreaks The red flag was hoisted
over the he&BrandenbuFg Gate and the

No Food Taken Into City
Within the Last Three
Weeks.

Fiume, March 13.-Famine seems
to be near in this city. No. food has
been brought in during the last three
weeks. and Italian naval units convoy
all merchant vessels from Ancona and
Venice, SO that further seizures by the
d'Annunzian forces are impossible. As
2 consequence there is much suffering
among the poor and food prices are
enormous. There IL no coal in the city.
Ana horses have been driven out 70
Craze on the hills nearby, there being
no. feed for them here. There have
been rumors that Captain d'Annun-

Fears have been expressed that a
Bolshevik outbreak is imminent, and
soldiers have participated in disorders
which resulted in the death Of one

Deportations of persons who have
lived less than ten years in Fiume
continue and it is expected they will
be completed soon. Those leaving are
for the most part Hungarians and

BRITISH ARE
ANXIOUS OVER
TURK TROUBLE
Activities of Bolshevists in
Afghanistan Make Tangle
More Serious.

London, March 13.-Official Eng
land is showing evidences of anxiety
over the settlement of the Turkish
problem and the situation rapidly de-
veloping in southwestern Asia. The at
titude Of indifference or defiance as
sumed by the Turkish nationalists,
signs Of unrest throughout the Moslem
world and activities of Russian Boil
sheviki in Afghanistan combine to
give a serious aspect to the tangle.
Advices stating Prince Feisal, son
Of the king Of the Hedjaz. has been
proclaimed king of Syria add another
element to the situation which may
easily lead to trouble in that region.
Allied governments have not indicat-
ed what their attitudei toward the new
kingdom and it's ruler NAV be, as the
movement was ignored or underesti-
mated by officials up until the last
few days. =.
Turks in Constantinople are appar-
emily ignoring allied plans for enforc-
ing the terms of peace with their
.. country and protecting Non Moslem
peoples, reports declare, and the fact
! that there is strong demand for the
expulsion Of the sultan from Europe
has caused hardly ripple at the
Turkish capital.
From Constantinople to Afghanistan
there seems to be spirit of opposition
to the allies which would appear to
foreshadow a elimination of events
! within a short time.
