INSULTING PROPAGANDA

= sample of the propaganda being
circulated by German agencies comes
in the form OF an alleged clipping
from the "Muenchener Neueste Mach
rlchten" having two of the columns
parallelled, one in German and the
translation in English. This is ac-
companief by letter claiming to be
written by man from Maine who
served in the war and is now in Ger
many trying to do business. He asks
if we are to allow our former asso-
ciates "to spoil our business forever ?"
The article signed F. NJ Elliot, is
headed an open letter to theAmerican
people and compares the parties at
war to IL crowd of boys. Mike" the
! German has been licked by the group
and Sammy goes home leaving him
to the mercies of the other boys. They
/; abuse him frightfully and he pleads
for Sammy to return and help him
ii asks: american people, Are you
going to finish the book, How to Get
Rich Quick before you wake up to
what is going on?"
The originators of this scheme in
suit the intelligence of those to whom
they appeal. They assume we have
not read the defiant words of the
German representatives. their brazen
assumption that the agreements they
made at Paris were not made to be
kept. One only has to read what the
/ German leaders are saying and doing
to know that they have not yet re-
ceived the punishment they so richly
deserve

Suspicious Fires
Appear to Come
Along in Bunches

Insurance Commissioner G. Walden
Smith Thursday in commenting upon
the unusual number of suspicious
fires reported to the department dur
ing the past fortnight, declared that
it is curious how these unknown
and suspicious" fires come in
punches.
Eleven in two weeks in the pres
ent instance is seemingly wave of
alleged incendiary cases." said Com
missioner Smith.

have been taxed to meet the calls for
help" continued Commissioner Saith.
Not only have the deputy commits
sioner and myself been personally in
the field, but in addition to the two
special agents attached to the de-
partment, at my request a specially
trained investigator connected with
the National Board of Fire Under
writers Association has been assigned
to assist US and is now in the state
at work.
Evidence in four cases have been
forwarded to the county attorneys in
the counties where the fire occurred.

dictments will result from the activ-
ity Of the department.

TAXING MOTOR TRUCKS

The Pennsylvania Legislature being
confronted by the necessity of raising
a million and half extra money for
her highways has had a conference
and decided that the increase should
fall on the $4,000 motor trucks in the
state, although it is said 80 per cent
of those do not use the state high
ways, whereas 90 per cent of the pas
senger cars do, and the tax on those.
which averages $1,000 per car was
not changed.
The truck makers and owners pro-
tested nightly against the plan but
passenger car owners were too nu-
merous and powerful. The plan de-
cided on imposes tax 20 per cent
less on the trucks with pneumatic
tires than is placed on those with
solid tires.
Time may do something to adjust
the numeGal disparity of motor trucks
as compared with passenger cars but
it will only reveal in stronger light
the terribly destructive effect on orr
roads of the heavy, solid tired truck.
