Paris, Oct. 31st.-The British Govern
ment, through its Ambassador, the Mar
quis Of Crewe, has sent two commuLlea-
tons to the Foreign Office, which was
received there as in complete accord
with the cOnciliatory spirit shown by
France in recent intercourse between
the two countries. The first note drew the
Foreign Offices attention to the Judicial
consequences which might be attended
by the separation of Germany from GER
tain provinces, in that such provinces
were not signatories of the Treaty or
Versailles and so would not directly
have assumed obligations laid upon the
Reich by this trea y. 1t has been re-
ported that the note contained various
statements. including criticism of GER
tain measures taken by the French and
Belgians in the zones of occupation, but
it can be said that the note is limited to
the above declaration, based on the
Treaty of Versailles. An identical com
mu7ication was made to the Belgian
Government. The second note contain
ed a proposal to the Govt. to send a joint

invitation to the United States - be re-
presented CT the committee of experts.
which will be charged with the task
of making an economic investigation
into Germany's capacity for the payment
of Preparations and the meanSaiGermany
possesses to fulfill her obligations. The
Joint investigation will express thanks
to the United States for itsIcollaboratica
and beg the Government to appoint dele
gates through its observer on t~heatiepara-
tions Commission. Thus it CANOE seen
that the British note neither raises OBJ
i~ections nor asks the Government to
specify its intentions, as has been report
ed from London. Nj, Poincare did not
h5ve time today to draft replies, but. as
apparently not The slightest differences
exists between the Government on the
questions treated therein. there is 10
doubt as to the nature of the replies.
With respect to the Separatists move
ment, the Governments fview is that no
responsibility can be placed on it, or the
Belgian Government, as both have ad-
bered to the principle of letting the popu-
lations concerned act according to their
own will. The Government is highly

London. Oct. 31st.-The ram running
Issue between the United States and
British Govts. which the United States
Ambassador in his! conference with B it.
iSh officials repeatedly characterised as a
dangerous menace to the existing COOL
relations Of the two countries, has been
practicallyGsettled On the occasion OF
his formal farewell visit to the Foreign
Office the vetiring Envoy and the For
eign Secretary gave a-4inal consideration
to the terms of a draft treaty which. it is
believed, will clear up the whole qles-
ton. The treaty is understood to meet
the United States desire for the right to
search suspected rum running vessels
beyond the three mile init, but at the
same time the United States gives Ito
Great Britain formal affirmation of the
three mile limit as governing MBFltish
maritime rights generally. 1t would also
allow British ships 70 carry liquors into
United States territorial waters under
seal. thus enabling liners under the
Union Jack to maintain q bar to and
after departing from United States
ports. From The British side it only re-
mains for the Imperial Conference OF
Premiers to place its approval on a docG~
ment embracing the points OF agreement.
1t was expected this would be dore to-
day, but as the document had act been
complete it was postponed until Friday,
after which the draft will go to the Uni
ted States for ratification by the United
States Senate. At the request of the
British, the rights of the Unitei STATES
authorities to detain British vessels
suspected in rum running, will not be
ccnined strictly 10 twelve miles. from
shore, or a. other arbitrary limit, bat
will probably embrace tn distance COW
cred by the broad term, IAN hours sail
ing distance from the United States
shore, which is reckOned rightly from
ten to fifteen miles. Thus a twelve
mile limit" will not be mentioned in the
treaty and the Foreign O.ice cannot be
charged with surrendaring its traditional
principle regarding the limitation Of
territorial waters. II this competition
the British attach much more Importance
to formal recognition Of the three mile
limit in questions of general maritime
rights, as being likely to be Invaluable
to them. Only recently Soviet Russia
agitated for the establishment of twelve
mile limit for all maritime purposes.
but with the United States Government
supporting the British stand it is ex-
pected that the principle will remain as
established in international law. Mr..

WASHINGTON STATE TAXES HEAVY

There are three states in the Union which are more heavily taxed than Washington, in point of view of gross revenue raised. These are New York, $145OOO0OO; Pennsylvania, $116,000O00 and Illinois, $6O,OO0OOO. Taxation in the state of Washington totals $59,00OO00.
 There are 29 states which have larger pop ulation than Washington. Thus Washington is thirtieth in point of population and fourth in point of taxation Which seems absurd on the face of the matter
 Examined a little closely and the absurdity is even more glaring. Take the three states which have raised a larger gross revenue than Washington and it is found that New York has population of 10,O00,0O0 Pennsylvania of S,000,000 and Illinois of 6,000,000 Now the population of Washington is under 1,15O,000
 Worked out on per capita basis it is found that Illinois has a per capita rate of taxation amounting annually to $10, New York and Pennsylvania $14.50, but Washington to $51 30.

who loves her country more than she loves her alimony. But there is serious side of the proposition made to the court.
 Why should one woman whose dress econ- omy increases each season, increase the ex- pense of such foolish extravaganza? What on earth can red -blooded woman with three children be thinking of, to announce to the world that she needs $123,000 to spend on herself and her three offspring each year, when there is so much want and misery per haps within block, of her own luxury and false existence?
 The effect of such extravaganza and reck- less expenditure of money is disastrous in the extreme. If the few men and women who live in extreme and unnecessary luxury would pause and think of the dark feelings of hate and envy they arouse in the minds of thou sands less fortunate, perhaps in more or less want, they would mend their ways and help avoid the fate that met nations of old amid riotous living and selfish indulgence.
 Often it is said that it is a good thing for men and women of large wealth to spend lavishly and luxuriantly on themselves, since it keeps money in circulation. So it is pro- vided the expenditure is for some worthy and uplifting cause for the welfare of all Riches wasted on self-indulgence is neconom- ic, un-American and unpatriotic Further insidiously.
 Wealth is a mil-stone unless used for ser vice and righteousness
