Thanks to British energy and going
ahead with plan which did not take
into consideration the Polish battle

occurred, Gen. Heniker insulated his

matums have been given to the Polish
garrisons to be quiet. Beuthen, Kat

Korfanty at the last minute changes
his tactics and decides to use violence
against the British army, which is ex.

ington--Remarks attributed to
him In press reports of his recent ad-
dress before the English Speaking
Union In London, in which he criti-
cized activities in Irish sympathizers
in this country, were not correctly
quoted. and were misleading, Admiral
William s. Sims declared in cable
gram by Secretary DENLY.
Statements that were attributed to

garbled. Report of statement is incor-
rect and inferentially wrong. State
ment actually made was substantially
the same as repeatedly made in public
In America and in my book, The Vic
tory at Sea-, and in public addresses
at meeting held for increasing good re-
lations between the English-speaking
people"
Secretary DENLY would not COM

view of the fact that Mr.. DENLY revok-
ed the remainder of the officers leave
of absence and ordered him to return
at once to the United States to report
In person at the navy department. 1t
was indicated no further steps would
be taken in the case until Admiral
Sims return. 1t then will be decided,
it was said, whether Secretary DENLY

Admiral Sims reference in his ca

EFFORTS OF GERMAN GOVERN.
MENT TO RAISE INDEMNITY
ARE DESC Rl5ED.
ALL HANDS WILL ASSIST
Creation Of New MonopeIies Planned.
Sales Tax and Coal Tax Must Be
Increased, Says Robert
Schmidt.

Berlin.-Robert Schmidt, Socialist
minister of economics, admitted to the
National Economies Parliament that
taxation alone would not suffice to
raise the fifty or sixty billion paper
marks annually which must be paid
the allies for reparations. He out
lined the government policy as antic-
ipating the government policy Of new
monopolies and . participation in the
profits of private business in man
ner similar to that now in operation
in the Swedish mines. The govern
ment would have to impose turn
over tax and increaseI the coal tax.
he announced.
"The allied ultimatum," he said,
requires from tie Gefmah peobld tie
payment of 2,OOO,OoO,0OO gold marks
annually and a variable, payment
measured by Gernahys > exports,
which, according to present trade,
will mean 1850, 900, 900 marks addi-
tional. To this must be added the
cost of occupation and other settle
ments, go that the total reaches g.
10000, 900 gold marks orn $4,000. .O0O,-
900 to 10000, 900 paper marks an
nually.
Part Of this sum is to be raised by
the deduction of 26 per cent of the
value Of our exports to enemy coun-
tries. The question arises whether the
exports, since they are to be an, index
of what we must pay, should be
furthered or choked off. The gov
ernment believes the export trade
must be advanced, but imports must
be controlled and limited, especially
as regards luxuries.
but our export trade cannot serve
permanently as an index of Our ca
pacity to pay, and it will be part uf
the duty Of the National Economic
Parliament to find better one-pos-
sibly our production of coal, or irop,
our harvests or railroad transporta-
ton, For these great payments we
must have great resources. Taxes
must be made productive. The sales
tax and coal tan must be increased
"A further source of revenue is by
the creation of new monopolies and
participation by the state in actual
values as distinguished from paper
values. But since taxes alone cannot
cover the needed $4,000, ,O00, 900 marks
annually, we must prepare for profit
sharing by the government in indus
try similar to the Swedish govern
ments participation in the mines and
the German governments participa
ton in the profits of the Reichsbank.."
