again In control in Berlin. Vice
Chancellor Schiller, in whose hands
the sudden retirement Of DR.. Wolf
gang Kapp temporarily placed the ad-
ministrative power, and Gustav
Noske, minister Of defense, are en-
gagged in bringing about order in the
city and restoring activities to their
normal basis. The full ministry is ex-
pected back in Berlin.
Z Regular troops, loyal to the Ebert
regime, are guarding the streets, and
detachments of them spent part Of the
day in tearing down wire entangle-
ments and barbados which the rev.
dictionary soldiers had erected in pro-
fusicll. In this connection there was
an unfortunate accident, the firing Of
a mine to destroy barricade at KOtt-
buser, in southern Berlin, killing
twelve persons and injuring twenty
eight.
Rumors are current that DIR. Wolf
gang Kapp has suicided, following the
failure of his plans.
The Baltic troops, leaders of the in
surgent bands that marched into Ber-
lin, Saturday morning, took vengeance
on the people who hooted and jeered
them in Wilhelmstrasse and Uhter den
Linden.
They were lined up for departure
from the city, and after withstanding
the jeers for time more or less i'm
patiently, they opened fire, wounding
several.
After the troops had passed Bran
dcnburg gate they fired parting vol
ley with machine guns, wounding
score or more and the terrified mob
rushed to the Alden hotel, the gates
of which were torn down in the ensu-
ing panic.
DR.. Kapp's descent upon Berlin and
his subsequent retreat has percipitat-
ed parliamentary chaos.
The coalition parties must construct
a new cabinet which is expected to
reveal at least half dozen new
faces.

Secretary Houston Declares Govern.
nent Must Suffer Huge Losses.
Washington.--IncOme and excess
profits taxes cannot be reduced until
after 1922, Secretary Houston wrote
the house ways and means committee,
on March II, urging an immediate
simplification of the taxes and substi-
tuition Of flat tax on gross profits In
stead of the graduated rates Of ~
and 40 per cent.
Immediate losses to the government
under the supreme court decision that
stock dividends are not taxable will
approximate $1O5,OO0.OOO, the letter
stated. Mr.. Houston added, however,
that the ultimate loss would be only
s25 OOO, 900, as much Of the original loss
would be regained through the sale OF
stocks and subsequent taxes on them.
The secretary estimated that $35, OOO,-
900 collected in 1918 would have to be
refunded and $7O,OOO,O 900 would be lost
on 1919 taxes.

There are various ways of evidenc-

1t Is our habit to be sympathetic and
not always does 1t prove that sympa-
thy and friendship are akin. When a
man will lend you money without col
lateral he is indeed a friend.
But we find our true friends in 9th
er ways. The other day we were in a
hurry and we needed Rair cut So
we beat it into our favorite barber
shop to find our favorite barber busy
and a man ahead of us.
We were about to depart without the
trim we sorely needed, when the man
ahead of us spoke up:
"You always have the same barber,
don't your"

well, Pm next for his chair, but
I'm in no hurry. You just go ahead
and take my turn. I'll wait"
There was friendship for you, and as
we thanked him for his kindness we

Greater love hath no man than
this, that he will give up his place in

MOTION PICTURES IN ITALY
Development of Industry in That
Country Makes II Second Only
to the United States.

The production of motion pictures,
says the United States commerce re-
pert, is an industry for which physi-
cal conditions In Italy and the italian
temperament are peculiarly favorable,
and consequently this branch Of activi-
ty early attained high degree of de-
velopment. Italy now claims to rank
second to the United States among
the nations of the world in the manu-
featuring of motion pictures. An idea
of the importance of this industry In
the economic life Of the country can
he derived from the fact that the work.
ing capital employed is now estimated
at 30O.000,000 lire and the actual capt.
tai invested at 100000,000 lire There
are eighty-two companies engaged in
the production of films, of which the
greater number are located at Rome,
which naturally presents unusual adj
vantages from the scenic standpoint.
The annual production of new films
in Italy has reached 100000 meters,
and If It is estimated that forty copies
are made from each negative the total
of printed films is 640OO,O00 meters.
