TAXES IN GERMANY HEAVY
individuals Are Beginning to Feel That
Country Really Suffered Defeat

The individual German has not be-
gun to feel the peace terms, fnan-
cially.
During the war the Germans have
been loaning their money to the gov
eminent This year they have begun
to give It
There is an estate tax graduated as
to size and as to relationship. It Inn
poses the heaviest tax on the largest
inheritance from the most distant rel
alive.
A peculiar feature Of this law, illus
trating its severity, is a provision that
In no case may the tax exceed the
amount OF the inheritance taxed. No
mean cousin can leave "spite money"
which would compel the recipient to
pay more than he got, anyhow.
An income tax ranges to about 20
per cent as the income grows.
There is a profits tax and a heavy
tax on wealth increases during the
war-to get the profiteers- usual
taxes for revenue, heavier than ever,
and q capital levy is being considered.
With food, coal and clothing short,
they are bound to add to the discon-
tent. Agitators will make the most Of

VILLA WIPES OUT
An ENTIRE VILLAGE
More Than Fifty Men, Women
and Children Slain in
chihuahua.
HOMES AND CROPS DESTROYED
Bandits Were Angry Because Small
Party Had Been Fired Upon
Near the Settlement.

FL Paso, Texan entire Mexican
farm settlement near Santa Barbara,
chihuahua, was wiped out on Sunday,
March IA, when Francisco Villa and
his followers massacred more than
fifty men, women and children and
burned their homes and crops, accord
ing to reports brought to the border
recently
Angered because a small party Of
his men had been fired upon near
the community on the previous day,
Villa with $50 men swoped down on
place. The farmers stoutly defended
their homes and it was not until TWEEN
ty-five or thirty of them had been
killed and their ammunition exhaust
ed that the survivors, twenty-five in
number, surrendered, according to this
report
These survivors, there is reason to
believe, would have escaped with their
lives had not one young man, crazed
with grief, over the loss OF his wife
and family, attacked Villa and at
tempted to wrest the rebel leaders
gun from his hand. Villa, being larger
and heavier than his adversary, sub
dued the man after a struggle, and
shot him dead. In his fury Villa then
ordered all the men in the community
put to death, and the houses, grain
and other possessions of the COM
munity burned, it was said.
According to one of the three men
who escaped death at the hands Of the
rebels, a small party of Villa followers
rode up to the village the other night
and demanded provisions. Upon be-
ing refused, they threatened to shoot
up the community and members Of the
local militia, or social defenders,
opened fire on them, driving them into
the brush.
The next morning the reprisai at
tack began and lasted several hours,
during which time the farmers sue
ceeded in killing at least fifteen Of
the attacking party.
