Berlin May S-In these disturbed days, when the revolution prof1teer'' the successor of the war profteer- fiaMnts his newly acquired wealth in the face of an Impoverished popuIace, robbeT1es and burgtaries in Berlin in crease at an abnormal pace Street signs are full of announcements of ferdng rewards for the return of stoI- en goods, and in one of the main busi- ness streets of Berlin a fancy goods store displays this notice-
 sentleuen burglars are requested not to break open the shop front nor to tamper with the locks. There is nothing to steal here All property is removed from the shop windows at night"
 There have been scores of ho4d-ups, and the other day a man was stripped of his clothes, shoes and hat and left on the sidewalk in his underclothes
 It is not safe for hote4 guests to leave any portable property of any description in their rooms Articles of clothing have a way of vanislling g into thin air, and hotel proprietors decline all responsibility Police statistics indicate that the number of hotel robberies has rebied within the last five years
 To leave typewrters unpadlocked Is sheer cuipabIe negligence on the part of the owner The Berlin crin- inal police has been obliged to or gan1ze a special department dealing exclusively with stoaen machines.
 Cases of housebreaking have quad rupled within the last three years. Articles of clothing, bedciothes, car pets, and curtains are the objects most desired by the thjeving fraternity
 Dishonesty among factory hands has grown to a deplorable extent, the police say Leather belting disap- pears wholesale; it is cut up and sold to shoe repairers-
 Nor are churches, cemeteries and museums immune from robberies, the booty carried off being mostly ancient gold ornaments and jeWelry-

DEMOCRATS ARE READY TO GRANT SOLDIERS BONUS Insist That Money Be Rais- ed By Some Form of
 "Sane Legislation
TAXATION OF SALES
 SCHEME HAS FAILED
Measure Will Probably Fail To Pass At This
 Session.

Washington, D. C., May S.-Re- publican leaders of the Hsase have abandoned their plans to raise the necessary revenue for a soldfer bonus through application of tax on sales. With not more than 50 avowed sup porters among the Republican major 1ty, the sales tax plan has gone down to defeat
 Until the Republican leaders in the House are convinced that the sales tax would not place most of the bur den of the government upon the poor and middle classes, no consideration will be given to sales tax suggestions.
 Now that they have been driven from the demand for consumption tax, the Republican leaders are pro posing various compromises which might assist in the enactment at this session of Congress of soldier Iegis- lation. It is the conviction, however of members of the House in general and Republican leaders in particular that the legislation cannot and will not be passed through both the House and Senate by June and that the soldiers must be contented with promises in the Republican platform to be adopted at Chicago.
 Democratic leaders are for a bonus
 
 through the legislation if the Re pubdcans, who are in control and therefore responsible, will only make sincere attempt to write sane leg 1sladon, and will not place an un- due burden on the poor ar middle classes and protect the riG
 at this session of Ce $ can be charged to the dem 4 of "Old Guard' Republican ttott a, sales tax be levied to providef' the revenue. For years, men with S1e theories that a tax should be capitalized among all persons have insisted on the adop- ton of sales tax Their only argu- ment that the poor would not carry the greatest burden is that the rich purchase considerably more than the poor and that the rich, paying a tax on each purchase, would pay a greater tax on his greater purchases
 This argument has received the answer that if the owners of Stand ard Oil buy a. loaf of bread they pay no more tax on this bread than the poor pay.
 Those who have opposed the de mand for a sales tax insist that the rich should pay in proportion with their wealth They take the position that a man with an income o1 $500,o00 a year can better pay a tax of 80 per cent on his income, and still have s1oO,0O0 left, than to tax a 1000 income
 Blind insistence that the sales taz be adopted brought about the situa- ton which now confronts the bonus legislation, a situation which does moi look favorable for the sldiers. Re- peated demands were made by the friends of a bonus that no plan fol taxation on sales be reported but Republican members of the Ways and Means committee refused tc abandon the sales tax plan. They in sisted and finally, in order to protec1 the poor a small group of insurgen1 Republicans joined with the Demo Iats in the House in defeating the plan temporarily at least, and 1T doing so they have been commended in letters and telegrams received from the soldiers themselves

MAY QUARANTINE IN NEW ENGLAND
 AGAINST MOTHS

Washington, D. C., May 8.-Re- strictions upon the government of all forest and quarry products by a quarantine of the New England States to prevent the spread of gipsy ard broWn-taiI moths will be con- sidered at a hearing to be held by the Federal Horticultural Board, United States Department of Agricul- ture, here May z. All persons in terested in the proposed action by the department will be given an op- portunity of testifying before the board either in person or by at torney.
 This hearing is for the purpose of considering the extension of this quarantine to cover the spread which has been made, notably by the gipsy moth, during the past year, and the proposed extension is a counterpar of similar extensions which have been made practically every year since the quarantine was first enforced in 1912.
 The spread of the gipsy moth in 1919 was unusual Such spread wa due to exceptionally faxoring conad- dons. During the summer of 1919 the insect developed some very heavy infestaions, and due to strong
 
 of the larvae, these young larvae were dislodged from the trees and ctrried by the winds long distances. Similar favorable conditions for Wind-spread have not existed for years and there is little doubt that the principal spread of the insect during the past year is to be thus explained In most of the newly invaded towns the infestation is very light, often limited to a single egg cluster, which further confirms the theory of a wide but very scattered spread by the agency of winds
 Action by the department con- templates restrictions upon the move ment of the following articles from the affected states to other parts of the country
 Coniferous trees, such as spruce, fir, hemIock, pine, juniper, and white cedar; decorative plants, such as hoHy and laurel; forest plant pro ducts, including logs, tan bark, posts, poles, railroad ties, cord wood, and lumber; field grown flor ists' stock, trees, shrubs, vines, cut ungs, and other plants and plant products, except fruit pits, seeds of fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs, field vegetables, flower seeds, Deoo1nS p4anS, and oInef nerOace- ous plants and roots; and stone or quarry products
 Reports to the department show that during the summer of 1919, in addition to the territory now under quarantine, 46 towns in Maine, 45 in New Hampshire, 23 in Vermont, 14 in Massachusetts, and 3 in Con necdcut have been found to be in- Tested by the insects
 These towns include Connecticut: Preston, Norwich and Bozrah-
