Submarine Was Seen
As Peace Agent by
One Of lis Inventors
Simon Lake Expected
War Hating os Result
Of Supplies StoIemote
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK.-One of the inven-
tors of the modern submarine once
visualized 1t as "the greatest peace
agent that science has yet produced"
Simon Lake said that, in full cog
nizance of the submarines terrible
power of destruction, for the day he
said it was May 8, 1915-the day the
Lusitania was torpedoed.
Mr.. Lakes idea was that both
sides in the war would be spurred
to build such large fleets of sub
marines that they would cut off
each others army supplies, stopping
the war.
His statement, discovered among
musty World War files, was, in part:
Each successful submarine attack,
while horrible in itself, only serves
to prove the contentious of those
who know the submarine and its
capabilities that it will prove the
greatest peace agent that science has
yet produced.
THE lesson to be learned in the
sinking of the Lusitania is that
commerce cannot be carried on be-
tween maritime countries when at
war with each other except by
mutual agreement, provided each
country is well equipped with sub
marines.
IF the present (World) War con-
tinues another two years and Ger
many succeeds in holding her land
frontiers, her submarines will be
able to dictate the terms of peace,
as she has the capacity, both in
shipyards, torpedo factories and sub
marine engine building shops to
within that time build up sufficient
submarines to make effective Ad-
miral Tirpitz's threat to establish a
submarine blockade of all English
ports.
The submarine is of no
value for invading purposes, but
has the capacity to prevent the
transport of troops, foodstuffs, am
munition, or, in fact, the carrying
on of any kind of commerce in sur
face vessels. The submarine, having
the power to become invisible at
will, is itself invulnerable and in
vincible"
Mr.. Lake, now 73, has spent his
recent years attempting to recover,
by dredging, sunken treasures along
the Atlantic Coast and in the Great
Lakes.

Women who have size to consider
can wear the new line beautifully,
because it emphasizes high bust

Cities and Commune!
In Germany Must
Pay Costs Of War
Must Reduce Expenses
To Contribute Funds
From Tox Collections
BY the Associated Press.

! BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Sept. 16.-Every German
city and commune, in addition tc
the individual German citizens, must
pay the costs Of the 1899 war, accord
ing to figures revealed last night by
two economic statistical services.
Gemeinde und Wirtschaft, corre-
spondence service for municipal
matters, estimated 1880, ,0OO, ,0O0
marks-about $500, 900, ,000-must be
contributed each year of the war by
the cities and communes out of their
receipts from taxation.
Each month, the figures showed,
the cities and communes must divert
21a per cent of receipts from taxes
on agriculture and forestry under
takings, S per cent on real estate, tx
per cent on business and 10 per
cent of the tax on citizens.
Distribution of Taxes.
While it was admitted that such
estimates could not be exact, Gene
indie und Wirtschaft said it believed
sits figures conservative" and dis
tributed as follows:
The tax on business and trade of
all kinds to yield 100000 900 marks
annually for the special war chest;
the citizens tax, 1300OO,0OO; real
estate, 42O,000,OOO; agriculture and
forestry, 1l0,000,000.
That would total 1850 900 600
marks. The service said the taxes
were absolutely certain" to pro-
duce at least 1,250,000,0 900 marks.
The nominal value of the mark is 40
cents.
Cities and communes would not
be permitted to unload" this spe-
cial war contribution payment onto
individual taxpayers by increased
rates. Instead, it was said, the
money must be obtained from in
creased economy-paring down the
communal expenses.
That does not mean, however, that
the citizen must not pay. He must
reach deep into his pocket to hand
over his share through six main
channels, some affecting the indi-
vidual directly, others indirectly.
War Chest Sources.
The Reich expects to add to the
war chest by:
/. A special war surtax on in
comes, amounting to so per cent
OF the regular income tax.
2. A 20 per cent special war
tax on the retail price of beer
and tobacco.
,-.- 3. A war tax on champagne of
l mark bottle.
4. A tax of 100 marks (s4O) a
100 liters of cordials and .liqueurs.
5. Cutting federal administra-
tive costs so per cent.
g.. Lowering wages and prices,
thus further cutting public ex-
penditures so the difference
would be available for war needs.
Pressedienst fuer Wirthchaftsauf-
bau, another economic service, esti-
mated receipts of the present income
tax In Germany as more than S.
900 900 900 marks-equal to $2O0O,-
900, ,000-annually. Thus the special
income tax alone should yield g.
so 900 900 marks, or 81 900 900 900.
This service said "a respectable
number of hundreds of million
marks" would come in from the
taxes on beer, champagne and hard
liquor.
1t said specifically there would be
no increase in taxes on corporations,
because firms and plants would have
to pay from their own funds for ad-
ditional upkeep, transformation to a
war basis, and expansions.
Nor is the Reich's finance ministry
planning special war loans present.
