Vanderlip Plan .ImprnctfcabIe,"
Among the allied matters touched

by Frank A. Nanderlip, American
banker, of an international, bank for
Europe. patterned after the federal
reserve system of the United States

writer expresses the wish that Mr.
Vanderlip and others who are con-

rope will unite in furthering the sue

sound scheme for aiding the distress

diverting attention from it.

Would Aid Domestic Trade.
What is believed here to be the
desire of the British government to
bring about a new discussion of. the
subject of reparations is generally
regarded as being due as much to
domestic trade consideration as to a
realization of the precarious situation
Germany would have to confront
should the stipulated payments to
the allies be exacted.
Pressure, it is understood, has been
exerted on the government from in
fluential quarters, where the belief
is held that the only way to insure
eventual adjustment OF Germany's OBJ
legations is to stabilize her finances.

The issuance of a loan with allied
assistance to make Germany's finan-
cial position more secure is another
part of the plan which is said to be
receiving official attention here.
The British government is closely
considering every aspect of the Ger
man reparations question. Although
it is said DIR. Rathenau holds no Of
fetal position, it is believed that his
visit is not unconnected with the
su omission of proposals similar to
those he entered into with France at
Wiesbaden for the rehabilitation of
devastated France for the considera-
tion of the British government.

Mrs. Edwards had perfectly good

went away on business, so he told her,
and has not since returned.

hands of Moscow last March, after
several years as an Independent re-
public she fled with many others to
Batum but there decided to remain
and take her chances.

SALES TAX OPPOSED
BY THE MAJORITY
SENATE COMMITTEE is EXPECT
ED TO MAKE ADVERSE
REPORT.
WOULD INCREASE REVENUE
Other Phases of Revenue Problem Ts
Be Considered During the Next
Two or Three Weeks-Re-
peal Is Favored.

Washington.-After several days OF
hearings devoted chiefly to the sales
tax the Senate Finance Committee
will take up other phases of the reve-
nue. problem. 1t is planned to con.
tinue the hearings for two or possibly
three weeks longer.
Witnesses schedule to be heard in
clude C. c. Hance Of indianapolis,
chairman Of the Taxation Committee
of the National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce; c. H. Archibald Har.
ris, public accountant of Chicago;
and F. E. Seidnan of Grand Rapids,
Mich.
Representatives Of several leading
insurance companies will be present
to urge the repeal of the present in'
surance tax The witnesses will in
clude Thomas w. Blackburn Of Oma.
ha, and C. H. Boyer of Chicago.
Although several witnesses have ap-
peared in support OF a sales tax the
impression given at the hearings has
been that a majority of the committee
will not favor it. Senator Smoot OF
Utah is the one member who is &C.
lively for a turnover tax Of l per
cent. Senator Watson of Indiana has
shown an inclination toward a sales
tax: No other Republican has indicat-
ed by questions a pronounced view in
favor of a sales tax. Senator Pen
rose OF Pennsylvania, the chairman,
has appeared undecided with proba-
Bile leaning against it. Most of the
Democrats have seemed to be against
the sales tax, some of them being in
clined to defend the excess profits
tax.
That the majority of the committee
will favor the repeal Of the excess
profits tax is unquestioned, although
the representative of the American
Farm Bureau urged its retention. The
issue relative to the sales tax has de-
veloped not so much on the question
of whether it should be the substitute
for the excess profits tax as on the
question of whether it should be used
to replace the miscellaneous excise
tax as we'll as the excess profits tax.
The excess profits tax, it has been
estimated, will yield during the next
fiscal year only $45O,O0O,OO0, while
the miscellaneous excise taxes, which
many organizations propose to repeal,
will yield s9OO,OOO,OOO or more. The
lowest estimate as to the yield of a
per cent turnover tax is $1,000, 00O,.
600, some claiming 1t will yield 81
100000 or more.

New Windmill Idea.

A new French windmill on the prin-
ciple of the water turbine, is encased
with a vertical cylinder bladed like a
Venetian blind. The cylinder is sta
tiOnary, but the blades or Stats guide
the wind from any direction to the
turbine wheel. After acting on the
wheel, the wind escapes from the bot
tom Of the cylinder. The vertical
shaft transmits the power through a
succession of gears adapted to light
or strong wind, and centrifugal reg
ulatOr controls the speed. The appa-
ratus is designed especially for driv-
ing an electric generator.
