OF taxes, about 20 per cent. last year,
will be larger this year, even without
the excess profits duty. Special re-
ceipts will not be much more than
f200,o00000, leaving about fS00,oO0,-
600 of the total FL ,05S,o0o,0oo. or so
per cent, to be secured by taxation.
The floating debt, amounting TO
fl ,2SS, 100000, remains the most
troublesome factor in British national
finance. No plans for funding it are
laid down In the budget But definite
progress has been made in reducing
the national debt, the total having
been cut from f7, 100000 to
1858, 100000 and the foreign debt
havins been scaled down f117,0o0, 900,
from 600 to FL, ,161, ,560, 900.
OF this s117,oOo,o0o more than two
thirds, or fT5,0oo,00o, was the British
half of the $500, 100000 Anglo-Frenclf
loan paid off last year In America.
Taken by and large the British
budget of last year and the estimates
for the current fiscal year represent
in concrete form the deep-seated de-
termination of the British nation,
prompted ny the even more deeply
seated British acumen and British
business. sense, to get back on the old
time pay as you go basis.

The Spring Yarn Crop.

For so early in the season, the sea
stories are coming in well. A vessel
in from Liverpool brings the corse Of
a six foot octopus which came aboard
during a storm off the Home of the
Devil, familiar region off the Irish
coast. The log says that the fish was
washed aboard by terrific sea, but
there is the possibility that the octo-
pus, hearing that w. j. BRYAN was
In New York, deliberately boarded the
ship with evil intent. However that
may be, it is the truth that the vii
lainous squid was killed in a duel
with the ships carpenter.
On board steamer in from South
America a thirteen foot python broke
'oose from his box and pursued the
Whips cat with such ferocity and
velocity that when the cat leaped the
rail- In his flight the python followed
him to their mutual doom. In this
case there is no such proof as is en-
bodied in the remains Of the octopus
but the ships carpenter can show any
doubter the python's empty cage and
the skipper can point out the sea into
which cat and snake disappeared.
No better evidence is needed by any
person who cares for sea stories.
Good marine yarns are always well
come. Now, particularly after a war
during which everything that hap
1ened afioat had to be suppressed,
the public will eat up strange aquatic
narratives. The octopus story could
not have been told in war time. As
the censor would have regarded it.
the German Admiralty could have
figured out, from the size of the squid
and the place where 1t boarded the
ship, just what were the movements
and plans of the Navy Department.

minutes, instead Of six and one-half
hours?
A. Yes.
Q. Is 1t true that under the present
rules all shop employees are allowed one
hour a week without performing any
service--time is allowed on the pretext
of checking themselves in and out of the
shop?
A. Yes After the issuance OF the ma
tionai agreement the application of this
rule increased the expense on one rail-
road of approximately 5000 miles to the
extent OF s1eo.oo0 per year.
Q. Is it true that this bonus hour
costs the roads $4,000. 900 year?
A. Yes. This was developed at hear
ing before Labor Board.

in the evening. say A. NJ. 70 10 A. NJ.
and p. NJ to 8 P. NJ, railroads
now have to employ two shifts OF eight
hours each, or sixteen hours service
where there is only four hours actual
work?
A. Yes.

A. Yes, and under decisions rendered

this kind.

In the present condition Of Amer
lean shipping it is barely credible that
IL the marine workers are governed
by sanity they viii go on strike. AT
this very moment SO per cent. of the
Shipping Boards vessels and 25 per
cent. Of the privately owned vessels
are tied up for lack of business.
The gravest danger which con-
fronts the American merchant ma
rine to-day is not a strike by the
crews that still retain their employ
ment. 1t is the dead weight cargo
of stupendous labor charges which
make 1t impossible for our ships to
earn a living In competition with for
eign vessels.
A strike could put the American
merchant marine out of business for
time, perhaps only very short
time. Then our shipping, with the
readjusted operating costs, might re-
sumo ON a basis that could enable
them to keep afloat But to continue
the prohlbitive wage costs would mean
scuttle, with our ships for the most
part gone out of business forever a
an American merchant marine. with
their crews adrift and foreign bottoms
again In command of overseas traffic,
wages and all.
When the question with American
shipping is sink or swim, 1t is time
for the strike leaders to keep an eye
on the lifeboats.

Searching for the Lost.
Australian Aborigines Follow Trails
White Men Cannot See.

Austrulsdn Bushrtnn IN London Daily Mail.
The recent discovery of the skeleton
Of a lost child on the summit OF the
highest mountain In the Bennachie group
in Aberdeenshire holds no mystery for
an Australian bushman.
The skeleton Is supposed to be that OF
. two-year-old child lost seven years ago
from farm two miles away, and at the
time OF the disappearance there were ap-
parently number of theories put for
ward for the loss--that the child had
been stolen BY gypsies, eaten alive by
pigs. or carried away by an eagle.
But had a man experienced In the be-
havior OF lost children been asked what
was likely to have become of the lost
infant he would have said. Search all
the highest points within few miles, and
on one OF them, unless he has perished
on the way. you will find the lost child"
IN countries like Australia. where there
are still vast tracts OF partially settled
country, the danger of getting bushed."
as IL is called. Is still a real one.
It is not always children who get

ence. he seems TO lose his head at once
and begins 70 walk and walk.

grows more exhausted and the realiza-
tion OF his probable fate becomes more

cumbs he gets rid OF his clothes. The
majority OF lost people are found naked.
It may happen that somebody who
reads this article may one day be lost.

There was again q long delay before

owing to dispute with the musicians
about pay for certain rehearsals. The
men demanded final answer to their
contention by Monday. and when ths
MANAGEMENT pronounced that iinposs.-
bic they named last evening as the
time.
The point at issue concerned certain
rehearsals made while Mr.. Mengelberg
was conducting concerts. The manage
ment contended that as there were
weeks In which only two concerts had
been given. whereas the contracts al
lowed for four. the men should concede
certain rehearsals In lieu of concerts
and without extra pay. The men de-
manded payment for these rehearsals.
and this was refused. Last Saturday
they struck. but consented to go on
with the. concert provided the matter
should be settled last night.
The answer given last evening was
that there would be no payment. The
musicians, therefore. had the option of
striking and bringing the season to an
end with three concerts still to be given.
AS they did not wish to forego the sal
ery for these concerts. they decided to
play last evening. Emo Dohnanyi, the
Hungarian composer, conducted, and
also was the piano soloist in Mozarts
concerto In G major. The orchestral
numbers were the Brahms variations on
Haydn's "Chorale st. Anthoni" and Mr.
Dohnanyis suite. The musicians, hav-
ing agreed to play, did so faithfully
and with credit. The audience was not
