incredible such grotesque telegram
could have been dispatched actually

To make sure, Western Union and
Postal telegraph files in Washington
were searched. There it was an exact
copy in code sent by Won Bernstorff

Still unable to believe that any one
could be so unintelligent as to send
such a telegram, the State Depart

but offered to decode it in the pres

cept the message as authentic.
On the 28th, after a cabinet meet

MARYLAND, VIRGINIA
DEMAND D. c. TAXES
Claim Washington Resi-

BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

Washington, Feb. 26-In each or the
4S states fiscal experts spend a corsld-
cradle share of their time in trying TO
think up schemes to make other states
pay part of their own states expenses.
Just now the commonwealth or
Maryland and Virginia are incubatlng
plan by which they hope to sting the
District of Columbia.
Automobiles from the capital. it is
pointed out, make a deal of use of the
| very nearby Maryland and Virginia
highways. They do, undoubtedly
However, Maryland and Virginia au-
tomibilists make a deal Of use of the
streets of Washington also. But Mary
lands and Virginias spokesman ig-
more the latter item. They take into
account only the fact that District
motorists numerously traverse the
roads of the adjoining territory with
out helping financially to maintain
them.
They propose to correct this sup
posed injustice
THE SCHEME
The idea is to have the District i'm
pose sockdolager of a tax on it's To-
cal gasoline-wagons (of course they
are taxed already but nothing much
in proportion to the levy which Mary
land and Virginia think ought to be
assessed against themD
And 60 per cent of the total receipts
from this impost, Marylanders and
Virginian contend should be handed
over to their respective states in COM
pensation for the utilization of their
traffic lanes by Westinghouse. That
is to say, so per cent should be split
between them. The District tax is
pretty low, too its neighbors COM
plain; Washingtonians, they say ought
not to "holler" at substantial in
crease in it. For that matter, "Who
cares if they do r'?"-provided
Maryland and Virginia get what they
are clamoring for.

It may seem as if it were a small
local matter.
All the same, these differences in
regulations, across state lines, are be-
ginning to cause many complications.
In fact, they are almost as bad
as if state line were an international
boundary.

THE WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-The front
Pages of the U. S. screamed the note
Zimmerman, foreign minister, sent on
Jan. Is, to Eckhardt, minister in Mex
leo, suggesting an alliance between
Germany, Mexico and Japan in the
event the U. S. became belligerent.
AS told here in January, the note
was inevitably intercepted by the
miral Sir Reginald Hall. Inevitably
because there were only five means
of communication between Germany
and America. (By direct wireless. BY
telegram to Stockholm, where mes
sages were set up in secret ciphers
of the Swedish Foreign Office, then
either cabled or wirelessed. BY tele-
graph to Spain, via Holland, where
messages were enciphered and cabled
Through the American embassy in
Berlin, which had undertaken to
transmit coded German foreign Of
flee messages to the German embas-
sy in Washington. By mail) All of
these, led to Admiral Hall. (Britain
had stolen a copy of the Swedish code.
1t had agents in telegraph and post
offices in Holland and Spain who
passed on copies of all coded messag-
es. Britain likewise, naturally, had a
stolen copy of the American diploma
tic code, and as any embassy messages
to Washington passed through British
cables, Hall had no difficulty reading
them).
The day Britain intercepted the
zimmerman message, as it was wire
lessed in duplicate from Nauen to two
American stations, it was clear to its
government that it possessed an in
strument which could bring the Unit
ed States into the war on their side.

crop failures, drought and floods.
Inevitable Results.
Lack of opportunities for farm
ownership and evils resulting from in
stability of land tenure can only re-
suit in rapidly increasing depletion
of soil resources and growing farm
poverty" Mitchell declared. Farmers
in temporary occupancy, knowing
that any improvements they may
make will automa t-cally revert to the
landlord at the end of his connection
with the land, have little interest in
building up the soil.
An important beginning in hating
the I'LL ease in farm tenancy and in
laying the basis for increased owner
ship has been made through the re-
Mobilization program of Resettlement.
More than 5000 farmers in North
Carolina, most of them in the tenant
class, have already been helped by
this program through supervised
loans, affirm debt adjustment and like
services, Mitchell pointed out.
