CITES GREAT DEBT OF u. S.
Indebtedness Of the Government Ma,
turing Within Three Years Is in

ooo-Must Have Revenue.

Washington. May 20.-Secretary
Houston of the treasury, in letter to
Chairman Fordney of the house ways
and means committee, declared his OPP
position to any soldier bonus legisla-
ton, however financed"
The secretary said it would be
highly unfortunate TO place any
new financial obligations on the treas
ury, and suggested it would be wise
for congress TO seek out additional
sources of reyenue to meet current
government expenses.
Mr.. Houston was answering an in
quiry from Chairman Fordney of the
ways and means committee as to the
treasury attitude on the proposal for
retroactive so per cent tax ON war
profits advanced by house Democrats
and ''insurgent" Republicans to finance
the soldier relief bill. He did not ex-
press any opinion ON this plan or on
the retail sales tax proposal, confin-
ing his reply to a general discussion
OF the country's financial situation.
Cannot Get Good Loans.
THE total indebtedness of the gov
eminent maturing within three years,
represented by treasury certificates.
war-savipgs certificates and Victory
notes is in the neighborhood of $1,000
100000" said the secretar. 1T is no
longer possible to finance the current
needs of the government in part by
the issue of treasury certificates ex-
cept on onerous terms which reflect
upon the value of the government
bonds and depreciate them in the
market.
Furthermore, it would appear to
be bad economy and bad finance for
the government to borrow money on.
short-term certificates of indebted
ness (maturing within three to six
months) to be invested for a term OF
years in railroads and ships.
1T is a matter of serious concern"
continued the letter, ITO have the gov
eminent appearing in the market
every few weeks for loans. Certainly
nothing ought to be done to add to ex-
listing credit expansion that can pos
SlDIy ne dNOiueu. Inc result would
be to increase prices and to make a
difficult situation less satisfactory"
New Fight on Soldier Relief.
Another fight over the taxation
scheme for financing soldier relief leg
islation threatened to develop at the
caucus of house Republicans.
Representative johnson, South Da-
kota, who led the successful attack at
lhe last caucus on the retail sales fax
proposal announced he would urge
adoption of a retroactive war profits
tax, and stock dividend tax in place
of the increased levies on grain ex-
change transactions and tobacco now
proposed by Republicans of the ways
and means committee. Leaders would
make no predictions of the outcome
OF the caucus. They agreed that final
passage of the bin before the conven-
ton adjournment, now fixed for June
S, was doubtful, unless the committee
measure was approved soon.

4 Diuerting Tale

"rhe Paradise Mystery" is the third
of ]. s. Fletcher's detective stories
to be published in America. The first,
''The Middle Temple Murder" was one
of the best stories Of its kind that
American readers have had offered TO
them for several years. '"The Talley-
rand Maxim" the second, while not so
good as the first, was good mystery
story. The third is written in accord
ancc with the formula used in 'The
Taleyrand Maxim"
1t deals with the mysterious death
of a stranger who fell or was pushed
from the clerestory of cathedral to
the ground in that part Of the cathedral
close known a$ the Paradise. Suspi-
cion points to a doctor, who lives in
the close with two wards, a young
woman and boy. No one knows
who the wards are, and the mystery
about them makes the town hospitable
to the idea that there is something in
the past life of the doctor that he
wishes to hide. The fact that the man
found dead had been seen going from
the Doctors house short time before
his dead body was found, Joined with
the fact that the doctor was seen
leaving the cathedral in great excite
ment within few minutes Of the time
when the man was known to have fall :
en- from the cathedral, strengthen the
suspicion. Mr.. Fletcher manages Ia
keep the reader in suspense until the
end when the explanation comes with
the shock of surprise. The book is what
the tired business man needs to take
his mind from his troubles.

CALSWORTHY
Plays and Tales by a Literary
artist of Distinction

There is sureness about the literary
art Of John Galsworthy that makes the
reading of him a pleasure. Among the
tales that he has gathered into volume
published with the title of "Tatter-
demalion" there are several that de-
serve high praise. There was never a
more perfect portrait of an English lady
of the finer sort than Mr.. Galsworthy
has drawn in "The Gray Angel" 1t is
simple story of what this lady, grown
old and living in quiet in southern
France. did for the soldiers in the local
hospital. She wore herself out in serv-
ice and near the end she goes to the
village church where she offers cher
chosen prayer: 80 God. who makes
the birds sing and the stars shine and
gives us little children, strengthen my
heart so that l may forget my own
aches and wants and think of those of
other people" With all its simplicities
it is a most moving tale.
The fourth series of plays" by Mr..
Galsworthy; just out: contains three
Foundations, has been acted. The
author calls it IAN cxtravagant play"
and has not misnamed it. 1t is satire
on the fear of bomb -throwers and
with many burlcsques of British foibles
that made it a success when Il was put
on the stage in London. Mr.. Gals
worthy's ability to characterize with a
phrase serves him in good stead when
he writes for the stage.

MRS. PORTER'S TRACT
- AGAINST DIVORCE
MARY Marie" Is Intended to
Show Its Effect on the
Young Children

The death of Mrs. Eleanor II. Porter,
soon after the publication Of MARY
Marie" gives to that novel fortuitous
interest. 1t has not yet been announced
whether Mrs. Porter left the manuscript
Of any other book. IL she did not then
MARY Marie" will stand in the record
as her last. 1t will not be regarded as
her best Indeed. it is doubtful IL 1t
will be regarded at all after the pas
sage Of two or three years.
There is no literature more short
lived than the popular novel. Mrs.
Porter wrote two or three which may
have reasonably long life, as such
things 60. but the most of her work will
die as soon as the first demand for II
has ceased This is because she was
not a great novelist. In Mary Marie"
she has a theme which in the hands OF
a capable writer of fiction rather than Of
sentimental story teller could have
been made a moving social study. Mrs.
Porter skins along the surface Of il
with grace and amiability, but she never
touches tho depths.
She has made the book q tract against
divorce. 1t is the story of college
professor of thirty. who married
charming young woman of eighteen or
nineteen and had a happy honeymoon
Of few weeks When his college work
began he neglected his wife and the
couple driftcd apart. A daughter was
born, called Mary by her father, and
Marie by her mother. When the child
was thirteen years old the wife went
to western state and got u divorce on
the ground Of incompatibility and the
court decreed that the daughter should
live six months of the year with the
father and six months with the mother.
The story is told by the child in the
form of a diary so that the effect of
divorce on the. mind of the child might
be shown. The girl has curious view
of marriage and its Sacredness and she
expresses ideas about seeing life which
a thirteen year old girl In the family of
a college professor in small town sell
dom if ever entertains. Yet she sue
ceeds in bringing the father and mother
together agai two or three years after
the divorce. And hen, when she is
twenty eight and after she has mar
ried and had a child. she plans to sep
arate from her husband just as her
mother did.
The book will have a large sale on the
strength of the reputation of Polly
anna" And il will doubtless entertain
great many people, for Mary Marie is
cheerful, sunshiny girl and tells her
story with some humor and much
sprightliness. But az a serious con-
tribution to American literature it is
negligible.
