comes from India to visit them. Sir
Ralph objects to the mems somewhat
TOO pointed attentions to his wife and
the visit terminates very suddenly. That
night the young wife Is found murdered

nomic desert. The commissioner believes that the
work undertaken in these districts will have a con
stantly widening influence, and he refers in glowing
terms to the real possibilities of tie country from
an agricultural standpoint.
In the population many races and religions are
represented. Efforts have been made to establish
a form of self government, and as a step in this di-
rection there has been formed an advisory council
of twenty members, on which Jews, Christians and
Moslems all have representation. This body works
harmoniously, furnishing another demonstration
that religious liberty and successful government go
together.

CHAPTER XI.-Contnued.

I do not think for a moment that
the sergeant would have imposed his
will in this simple way on old Mrs.
Heasden, had she been up and about,
but as L have said, she was upstairs,
in bed, and SO racked with rheuma-
tim that she had little attention to
spare for what was going on outside
her poor old body.
So the sergeant went on, through
the little, %uneven!y tagged passage

Crisp a summed him up perfect

airs and be readily insolent if he were
approached with any Establishment
or even common courtesy, but who
might be bluned at once by a show
of determination which had the laws
support to give it DE real backbone.
The law and Jim Heasden were old
acquaintance, but the law as indif-
ferently administered by the bench OF
magistrates WIS a very different per-
son In Heasden's eyes from the GRIM

him for the moment by Sergeant
Crisp, which the sergeant addressed
to him were not calculated to put
him wholly at his ease.
Now. Heasden," said the little
man, burning to face him as soon az
they found themselves in the garden,

made as insolent as he dared.

murdered in the Summer-house al

that you were. seen running away

Whatever further airs he might

A recent war book which is receiving some at
tcntion at the hands of the reviewers is "1Three Sol
diers," by John Dos Passos. In it the author has
undertaken to strip war Of all its glamor land to
succeeded in giving a series of exceedingly unpleas-
ant pictures which prrport to portray the attitude
Of the American soldier toward the war. If the i'm
pressions sought to be conveyed IN this book are
correct, some millions Of American young men
were dragged INTO a war in which they neither had
nor developed any interest, and these young men
were at all times destitute of even a glimmering of
those heroic qualities with which we like to invest
our soldiers. From cover to cover the book is filled
with utterances of complaint and with accounts Of
brutalities inflicted by officers on enlisted men.
There is probably not a man who spent any
considerable time in the American army, especially
who went overseas, who cannot recall some expert
ences OF his own or which came under his observa-
the book is filled. It is quite likely that every Incl
dent in the book can be paraneled with one at least
similar in nature in actual army life. That does not
make the book a truthful book. The writer takes
incidents such as may be duplicated in any army,
but which, we are convinced, were the exceptions,
and presents them as establishing the rule. There
were men III the army who were chronic grumb1ers,
and who could always find ~plenty>to grurnble at.
There were towards and shirks. There were men
in the ranks who were more concerned over per-
so1aI dlscornforts than over the cause in whose sup
port they were under arms. There were petty Off
GERS, pulled up with a little brief authority, who were
brutal and offensive toward their subordinates.
There are men of these classes in our civil society,
Just as there are rotten apples in every orchard.
But that the book is false as a portrayal of the
real spirit of the army, one need not have been in
the service to know. The men who went out to
form the American army went from every commnn-
ity in the land. With a few exceptions they have
returned. We knew them before they went. We
know them now that they are home again. And to
say that the personnel in Three Soldiers" is rep
resentative of the personnel in the American army,
and that the spirit represented there is really the
army spirit is a libel on the young manhood Of
America.
MI. Don Passos evidently belongs to that group
ofswriters who search diligently for the foul and
p1nid, and who, having found it, as one will if he
searches long enough holds it up triumphantly and
exElaims There is life for you"

MORE TAXES.

The state tax commissioner undertakes to ex-
plain and apologize for the great increase in the state
taxes levied this year for the general fund. He I'M
dertakes to exonerate the state administration and
to place responsibility for the increase elsewhere. He
cheerfully divides responsibility equally between the
two political factions in the state because one fac
ton controlled one house, and the other controlled
the other; and without the concurrence of both
houses no appropriations could have been made.
The senate was in control of the political sup
porters of the present state administration; the
house was controlled by the Independents. 1t is
true that the two bodies united in the passage of the
appropriation bills. 1t is also true, and Mr.. Wallace
would have the people of the state overlook this fact,
that the Independents in the house made a vigorous
fight for the reduction of the appropriations pro-
posed by the administration managers to the amount
of 10000. 1t was apparent that if any appropria-
tons were to be made at all, and if the Government
of the state were to function, the two houses must
get together on some basis. Because of this the
house majority yield finally to the opportunities of
the senate and consented to an increase of about
$250,0o0 over the amount to which they had hoped
tual appropriations half a million dollars lower than
the administration had proposed. 1t was either that
or nothing, and the members of the house could not
in all conscience permit the session to pass without
appropriations having been made for the majnten-
ance of the state government in all its departments.
In order to get any appropriations it was necessary
for them to agree to some terms, but in the fight
which they made they were successful in having the
administrators figures reduced by half a million dol
lars, and still the amount practically doubled the ap-
preparation for the general expenses of the state.
AS a demonstration Of the general attitude Of
the administration it is to be noted that the valua-
tons have been reduced, thereby reducing all APP
preparations made on the mill basis. Chief of these
is. the appropriation for the returned soldiers. That
is the mill tax appropriation and its amount is gov
erned by the valuation; the lower the valuation, the.
smaller the return. In reducing the valuation there
fore, the administration has reduced the yield of this
particular tax and it has made up in the other direc-
ton by increasing the levy for general expenses. In
other words, the administration considers it much
more important to have money to spend for purposes
political and ~factional in their nature than it IS to
keep faith with the service men and to carry out the
manifest intent under which the relief legislation
was passed.

.KA1sER's INCOME sHR1NKs.

Concurrent with the reaching of low exchange
levels by the German mark comes the statement
that the ~shrinkage in the value of the currency of the
country over which he once lorded it supreme is
making things decidedly uncomfortable for William
Hohe11zollern, sometime emperor of Germany. The
former kaiser's estates have been taken in charge by
the republican government, but have not been con-
hseated. Instead they are administered as a sort
OF trust, and William receives remittances from time
to time for the payment of his personal expenses.
The arrangement is a temporary one, and final dis
position of the subject may not be made for some
time.
In the meantime the former kaiser must be hav-
ing an uncomfortable time of it. The income al
lowed him is ample for the needs of a modest exist
ence, but there is nothing modest about the exile at
Doom. 1t must be calling to the pride OF one who
once felt that he held the fate Of humanity in the
MES, and to dismiss personal servants because he
has not the means wherewith to pay them.
No other monarch would feel such humiliation
as keenly as William. Constantine of Greece, Ferd-
;nand of Bulgaria, Charles of Austria, autocratic
though their tendencies may be, yet have certain
elements OF democracy IN their makeup, and each
possesses some of the qualities which cause men to
be described as good mixers. There is nothing
democratic about William. The tragedy Of the sit
uation for him is that he takes himself and his pro-
fessions of divine right and, in fact, Of divinity, in
deadly earnest. Hence his affection must be deep
and almost unbearable.
The nations have been at a loss to know what
to do with the kaiser. The case has been taken out
of their hands. Fate is dealing with the former
overload IN a much more effective fashion than
could have been accomplished by the planning OF
man.
