IL per cent of the value Of Gcrmany's
total exports. Germany may raise this
II per cent as she secs fit. If - per

ports, she may turn elsewhere for
subject of taxation. At least that il
the contention Of allied representatives
The difficulty with this apology for
the II per cent levy il that Germany
Is going to be hard put to IL to find sub
jectS of taXNtion. And her natural ten
dcncy would be make the exporters pay
the 12 per cent levy. The proposal to
reduce the German reparations is talk
ing the form of suggestion that the
United States and Great Britain. the
two inquest onably solvent nations
coming out of the war. cancel the debts
of the continental allies in the war in
consideration of the continental allies
reducing their claims for German rep
arations by a similar amount. II is held
by sthose advocating this plan that q
large part of the German reparations as
now fixed are exceedingly shadowy. And
as they nre the basis of such prospect
as exists Of countries like France and
Italy paying their borrowings to ny,
our European loans are equally
shadowy.
1t il not proposed that this country

cancel its loans to England, Such II
proposal in the present state Of politi'
cal opinion would be Impossible 9. There
is too much sympathy here for thc
lrish too much trade rivalry between
this country and England. too much
irritation over the German cables aud
over McsOpotamia oil to permit of can
ceiling loans to England
II il were not for the loans 10 Eng
land, the proposal 10 cancel our war
loans would make much hcgdway.
Whether any OF them will be Cancelled
or not will depend upon the pressure
of American business interests for ac
ton that will make for the economic re-
covcry of the world, upon the under
standing of the relation OF our war
loans to German rcparatiOns and upon
the possibility Of treating solvent Brit
ain differently from insOlvent EUROPE.
All Europe is engaged in trying to
bring us into economic conferences with
IT. That is one purpose of creating
what is virtual impassc over German
reparat'Ons with the threat that I~acc
will once more be- disturbed over there.
And the pressure Of economic cOnd
tions here. bound nm rs they are in eco
nomic conditions there is operating in

STATE LOSES RAIL SUIT
Order Of Interstate Commission Up.
held by Illinois U. S. Court

Chicago, Feb. 15.--(By A. P.D-The
state of Illinois has been cnjoined by
the United States District Court from
interfering with the Interstate Com
mercc Commissions orders establishing
Increased freight and passenger rates on
railroads operating within the state.
The court dismissed all suits filed by
the attorney general of Illinois to have
set aside the orders of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. and in effect
upheld the right of the federal body to
fix state rates where it was shown that
such rates constituted discrimination
against those established for interstate
commerce. The decision will allow the
roads to put into effect an increase of
40 per cent in freight rates and to raise
passenger rates in the state to 3.6 cents
mile.

War Debt Crisis
Before Harding

Continued from Page Onr
his inauguration adopting some policy
with regard TO it or initiating some in
tcrnational economic conference which
will have to do with the whole question
of war debts between nations, including
German reparations.
Our foreign loans are intimately re-
lated TO the question of German rep
arations. Mr.. Lloyd George made that
clear in the remarkable interview nc
gave out after the recent Paris con-
ference fixed reparations as 1T did. The
two have always been intimately related
since the subject Of canccling our loans
was broachcd at the Peace conference
The European governments must main
tain at least a bookkeeping solvency. II
they owe us $4,000. .OO0,00O. they
must have $4,000. 200, 900 more of
paper assets in German reparations.
And this country cannot keep out OF
the question of German reparatlons'
There is tremendous business pressure
the world over TO have the amount Ger
many owes the Allies fixed at such a
sum as she may reasonably be expected
to pay. In that way 1t is believed that
France may obtain credit on the basis
of her claims against Germany. ana
Germany herself may be started toward
an industrial recovery. The consc :
quence. so it is expected. will be an
! improvement in European markets
which will favorably affect business
conditions in this country.
Our interest in the world economic
situation is too vital for us to SIT pS
and permit European policy with re-
gard to reparations that will discourage
and postpone world recovery.
Export Taxes Misunderstood
On this subject Of German repara
tions as fixed by the recent conference
it fs learned here that the demands o
the Allies for sum equivalent to ].
per cent of the value of her total eX
ports has been misunderstood. This de
mand has been represented to be for ar
export tax of that amount. As mat
ter of fact. the allied conference die
not demand the imposition Of such I

ANGRY ELEPHANT
CRUSHES RIBS or
CIRCUS EMPL.OYE

Caught by a huge elephant in the
/ "bull-pen" Of the Ringing Brothers
Barnum C Bailey Circus headquarters
at Bridgeport, Conn, Charles Hamp-
ton, aged % and attendant, was maui
ed by the beast until other keepers
rushed to his rescue and probably
saved his life Mr. Hampton lis a
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. A. Hampton
of Barabo0.
An emergency physician when cal
led to the circus headquarters found
that Mr.. Hampton had suffered Sc
yeral fractured ribs, had deep LAGER
alton of the forehead and also probab-
ly had internal injuries. He was taken
to Bridgeport hospital for treatment.
Hampton who gave his home as
the Barnum Headquarters, went to
Bridgeport when the Ringing Broth
ers herd was merged with that of the
Barnum circus.
1t is known that elephants have
their likes and dislikes so far as hu--
man beings are concerned and those
who handle them respect this know
ledge.
Hampton, however. yesterday came
too close to one of the big male
beasts while feeding them. The body
Of the brute swayed with unusual
cunning and Hampton was pinned
between the bodies OF two elephants.
The vicious animal then grasped
Hampton about the body with its
trunk and beat him against the
brick wall Of the pen.
Keepers hearing the bellowings OF
the other elephants rushed across
the ring. in the center of the build
ing and with big iron prods forced
the elephant to let go its hold on
the man.

AP PROCLAMATION

To the People or the City OF Baraboo:
Three years ago at this time the
principal nations of the world were
engaged in the greatest war in all
history 1t was a contest in which
brother wag often arrayed against
brother and father against son and
some OF the best blood Of America
was shed upon the battle fields of
France in a conflict designed to end
all future warfare and to bring about
a peaceful alliance amongst the var
ious peoples of the globe.
Three years ago at this time, no
one could see when the end might be,
and this Thought prevailed at nearly
every f1res1de throughout the land:
MANY are the hearts that are weary
tonight, waiting for the war to
I cease;
Many are the hearts that are signing
tonight, hoping for the dawn Of
peace"
The end came suddenly; hostilities
Leased and the arnistice was signed
Nov II, 1918.
J. The national congress has decreed
and the president has proclaimed,
Friday, Nov. IL, 1921, "Armistice Day
