GERMANY READY
TO FLOAT ITS
NINTH WAR LOAN
For Four Weeks Huns Will
Drop Their Coin in Order
To Aid in Financing
War in Europe.
Washington, Sept. 22. Germans
are about to subscribe for their
ninth war loan. i
The loan, opens September 23,
five days before the-United States
starts on its fifth Liberty loan, and
for the next Tour weess Americans
and Germans will be engaged in a
race to drop their dollars into the
hopper of the war mill.
The amount of the German loan,
is not known here, but it is known it
will be made in the form of bonds
at S per cent interest and treasury
notes. Both securities are to be
issued at 98, which is about the aver
age at which all the German war
loans have been floated.
Tax Burden Light.
It is through the war loan a long
series of them in fact that the
German empire has financed its part
of the world struggle. Taxation
has been resorted to, of course, but
as compared with taxation in Eng
land and France, or in the United
States, the extra tax', burden, which
has fallen to the lot of the German
people, has been light indeed.
Before the war Germany had
adopted some rather stringent laws
for taxation. The war once a real
ity, the government decided to meet
actual expenses by loans and im
pose only enough extra taxes to
meet the interest on the loans. But
as it fell out Germany was building
her hopes on a poor foundation. It
was believed by the German people
that the war would be over in a
few months; that Germany, by
means of the tremendous military
machine which she had been build
ing throughout the years, would
"Crush her opponents before the end
of the year, 1914. Belgium, France
and England were to pay heavy in
demnities to recoup the German
treasury.
German Debt Piles Up.
Had this plan materiajized the Ger
man idea of war finance would have
worked, but the war went on, it is
still going on, and the German debt
is piling higher. Present-day Ger
many is worrying little over the fin
ancial straits in which the nation
finds itself. Posterity must pay; the
penalty.
Today the German public debt is
$27757,000.000, about $1,000,000,000
les than that of Great Britain and
$17,000,000,000 more than that of the
United States.
Austria has a public debt of
$12,782,000,000. while the debt of
France, despite the fact that this
country has been torn by the ac
tual fiphtinsr. has contracted about
$8,000,000:000 less than that of Ger
many. Before the war Germany
had a public debt of only little over
$1,000 000,000, less by a narrow
margin, than that of the United
States.
Figures Not Available.
Actual figures as to the amounts
of the various German war loans
are unavailable, but it is generally
known that they have been larger
than those of Great Britain. The
total English expenditure at the
end of March, 1918, has been
7.000,000.000.
Through her present method of
taxation Germany cannot even hope
to pay the interest on her war loans.
The attempt to levy an increased
tax met with stern opposition on the
part of the federal states and a tax
on increased incomes was then re
sorted to, while an ad valorem levy
was made upon all property. In
comes, were then capitalized and
taxed, and an excess tax similar, in
a way, to that in vogue in the United
States, was adopted. But the Ger
man corporat'ons did not respond.
Attempts at tax evasion through
false bookkeeping and other means,
were brought to light and punished.
The personal property tax called
for certain exemptions. Among
these, jewels are included, and the
German financiers made huge invest
ments in pearls and other precious
stones. These were taxed in turn,
but other .means of tax dodging
were discovered. The German will
freely lay down his life for the
fatherland, but he will not lay down
his money unless it is reasonably
sec"ured and a fair rate of interest
is promised. . ,
Public interest in the German war
loans has been stimulated by Amer
ican publicity methods. . When it
vas discovered during the early
loans that the farming class was not
buying bonds to the extent expected,
an educational campaign was inaug
urated for their, especial benefit.
The third and fourth loans were de
signed for the special benefit cf the
laboring classes. Bonds as low as
$25 were placed 'On the market and
met with ready sale. The last Joans
have been for the big investors
and since the bonds were sold at
I from 97Jt to 98 it has not been
They're Off!
and tuesoe on thir. waw v i
difficult for the government to find
plenty of buyers,,
The banks have, given great aid
in the disposition of the bonds. For
their share in disposing of the bonds
they were given fat commissions, a
method which worked well during
certain periods of the American
civil war. Municipalities, as such,
made heavy investments in bonds,
the public treasuries of these munici
palities being compelled to borrow
the money with which to make the
purchases.
Educational campaigns have been
an important means of stimulating
interest in the war loans, but co
ercion in one form or other has also
been used with characteristic Prus
sian high-handedness. This has
been especially true in the case of
soldiers. If they did not buy bonds,
leave of absence was denied, dis
agreeable duties .were.-forced upon
them and they were never in line
for promotion. -
German leaders have offered many
solutions for the post-bellum prob
lem which confronts their country.
Future generations have been sad
dled with a debt which they can
scarcely hope to clear off even by
drastic means until the vitality of
the country has been sapped. Gov
ernment control of tobacco and oth
er luxuries may be expected.
In short, if there is a German gov
ernment after the war it is prob
able that the state will dominate
all industry and the profits thus
earned by the state will be used to
wipe off the debt which Germany
has placed upon- the people.

RED HEAD HERO
SEEN BY REAVIS
CLAIMED BY ALL
Congressman's Picture of Boy
In Hospital Brings More
Letters and Tele
grams. By EDGAR C. SNYDER.
Washington, D. C, Setp. 21. (Spe
cial.) Some time ago in an inr
view with Congressman Reavis of
the First Nebraska district, after his
return from a visit to the home boys
on the western front, I intimated
that Reavis had both imagination
and sentiment, attributes rarely
seen in a successful lawyer. Last
Saturday in a speech of an hour and
a quarter in length, Congressman
Reavis gave the house the most
splendid display of those qualities
that it has seen in many years.
The speech, wholly extemporane
ous, although Mr. Reavis had famil
iarized himself with many of the
salient points by reason of other
speeches he had made to different
organizations since his return from
France, brought him an ovation at
the hands of his colleagues unsur
passed at this session or for that
matter at many previous sessions.
Members on both sides of the
chamber stood for several minutes
cheering the speaker, for a new ora
tor had been born in that same hour
and a quarter. All semblance of or
der in the house was thrown to the
winds as Reavis concluded his won
derful tribute to General Pershing
and the American soldier.
Gets Clark's Goat.
Speaker Champ Clark said it was
the greatest speech he had heard in
20 years and it was the first time in
many moons that any "speaker had
gotten his goat." For sentiment
and imagination played their part in
the thrilling story of heroism he
had seen displayed by our boys
"over there" and the touching refer
ences to the suffering the boys were
undergoing in the hospitals he had
witnessed and the lofty ideals dis
played by them brought tears to
many eyes.
He told a story of a red-headed,
freckle-faced hero whom he had
seen in a base hospital, a Christian
boy, suffering uncomplainingly
from gunshot wounds, from which
he died .later, whose high ideals
made an indellible impression on his
mind. And that story, told with
simple though powerful eloquence,
which made the house gulp down its
tears, has brought Mr. Reavis tele
grams ajid letters from mothers,
fathers, brothers and sisters thank
ing him for his tribute to their "red
headed, freckle-faced Christian boy,
who died a hero for world democ
racy." Description Fitted,
A lette from a lady in Toby
hanna, Pa., says: "After reading the
story in the paper of your red
headed hero I could not rid myself
of the idea that it might be my
cousin,. Eddie Newtons Company L,
125th United States infantry, who
was wounded severely on July 30.
Perhaps it is my vivid imagination,
but the description fits Ted so ex
actly I am writing to ask the iden
tity of this boy you speak about.
Ted was only 17."
From Rives, Tenn, comes this
message: "I would thank you so
much to advise if the red-headed
boy referred to was in base hospital
on or about August 21. Our little
village is sure that the boy referred
to is.our boy. He was 19 years old,
a red-headed, freckle-faced Christian
boy. He was honored with an ap
pointment to Annapolis by Hon.
Finnis J. Garrett. His whole mind
was on the war, so he volunteered
just as soon as he was 18." And
so they come, for every village has
its red-headed hero who is fighting
to make the world safe.
There was a Nebraska setting, too,
about this really very great speech
of Reavis' that thrilled the house
as no other speech has in a genera
tion probably, for Congressman
Sloan was in charge of the time on
the republican side, and he quietly
sent word to the chairman of the
committee, the house being in com
mittee of the whole on the revenue
bill, that Mr. Reavis was not to be
interrupted until he had finished.
And with Pershing, almost a Ne
braskan, his sisters and his boy,
Jack, living in Lincoln and coming
the day .after Pershing's 58th birth
day, which Nebraska had so enthusi
astically celebrated, the speech fit
tingly rounded out Pershing's natal
day and another Nebraska orator
had reached the zenith.
Again a Nebraska man has been
given a commission in the judge ad
vocate general's department,- Fred
K. Nielsen of Omaha, who, for
some years law offcer of the De
partment of State, has been commis
sioned a major and is already in
the uniform of a soldier of the
United States army. Major Nielsen
is president of the Nebraska State
association of this city. During his
long service in the State depart
ment he has handled a great variety
of diplomatic matters. He has en
gaged in important diplomatic ne
gotiations abroad, having been ap
pointed by President Wilson in 1914
a plenipotentiary delegate to the
international conference at Spitz
bergen, Chrstiana, at which dele
gates from several European coun
tries and the United States met to
frame an international government
for the Spitzbergen archipelago.
Major Nielsen began the practice
of law in Nebraska in 1904, following
graduation from the academic and
law departments of the State Uni
versity of Nebraska. After coming
to Washington he coached at vari
ous times Maryland State's, George
Washington's, Georgetown's and
Catholic university's foot ball
teams, attaining phenomenal suc
cesses. Lightweight Champion

GREEK SCOUTS
TRAINING
IN CITIZENSIII
BOYS
i
Far-Sighted Leaders of Race
Are Giving Lads Splendid
Training for( Patriotic
Service.
Greece and America have just
signed a conscription treaty. By it
and by the new draft it is estimated
that to the 40,000 Greeks, who now
wear American uniforms, there will
be added a good 200,000 more. A few
hundred Greeks, at Thermopylae,
were enough for Xerxes; 200,000
would have chased him clear to
China. And manifestly, in the matter
of the modern Xerxes still at large
in Europe, 240,000 Greeks, properly
instructed and inspired, should be
able, alone and hands down, to make
an end of him. Till recently, however,
there was a difficulty. There was
no one to furnish that proper in
struction and inspiration. But it is
being furnished now, from New
York by Troop No. 1 of the
Greek American Boy Scouts, head
quarters 165 E. 72d Street And
one Major Pantelis A. Sioris, their
scoutmaster, and a Mr. Demetrios J.
Theophilatos are also assisting.
. Major is Tall.
Major Sioris comes first. He is
tall and swart, and a veteran of the
artillery of Epirus. He fought for
Greece in 1897, and later came to
America. In 1912 he went back to
Greece and fought again. Then,
once more returning to New York,
he organized those first Greek
American Boy Scouts.
Early Meetings Enthusiastic.
From the first, too, he got the
boys. There were all sorts, from
small "shoe-shines" and flower sell
ers to boys who went to high
school. They met "under a ch
that is. in its basement. They drill
ed and had secret passwords and a
Dana, being Oreeks they also had
to have mountains, and they select
ed those in Van Cortlandt park, the
ones farthest from the Subway sta
tion. In them they practiced the
sort of scouting that is known only
in Greece. And when, in 1916, se
rious money difficulties threatened
them, they were rescued, at the last
moment, by Mr. Demetrios Theop
hilatos. That is how he comes into it. He
Ij. - l: i t. ...
yis t uig, Droaaiy-smuing, Ureek-
Amencan steamship owner. He has
so much money that he would just
as soon buy a Boy Scout a bass
drum as a tin whistle. In fact he
was soon buying a whole house for
them. And he wanted 'only one
thing in return. In fact Major Si
oris wanted the same thing. It was
a time when every newspaper was
filled with ugly storiesabout "hy
phenates," and, being Greek-Americans,
they were "hyphenates." But
these men showed what one kind of
hyphenate could be somebody who
turned part Americans into whole
ones, and then went on to make
them simply the best Americans
there were.
"Shoe Shines" Study.
They began with themselves. The
"shoe shines" went to night school
to learn, as one of them expresses it,
to be "whole Americans" there. The
boys who went to day school struck
for the first places in class, and in
the end a good two-thirds of them
were "A.-A.-A.'s The athletic
teams went out after the cups. The
band practiced till it led all the
bands in the junior league. And 165
East Seventy-second street became
in every way a place of fame. " The
only trouble was they couldn't seem
to get past themselves. According
to the census, there had been 100,000
Greeks in America in 1910. More
were coming at the rate of about
50,000 a year. Most of them
couldn't even speak English. And
not a Boy Scout had been able to
get to the first of them. Would
they ever be?

RENDELS BEGAN
TO FEAR WIFE WAS
NEAR A COLLAPSE
s r
Started Her Taking Tanlac
And Her Troubles
Disappear.
"Ever since my wife began taking -Tanlac
she has improved so much in
every way that she actually looks
like a different woman,'' said John
Rendeli of 1555 J street, Lincoln,
Neb., the other day.
"About iive years ago," he con
tinued, "when my wife's health
first began to fail, she lost her ap
petite and soon got to the point
where she had to force down every
thing she ate. Taking so little
nourisment, and that of the lightest
kind, she couldn't keep up her
strength and got so she wasn't fit
to look after her household duties,
although she kept at it and just
forced herself to stay up when she
should have been in bed. Her nerves
were in such a wretched condition
that the least little noise would x
cite her and almost drive her dis
tracted. She never knew what it
was to have a restful night, and she
lost so much sleep that she felt tired
and fagged out all the time. Her
system seemed to be worn out, and
I beq;an to fear she was in for a bad
spell of sickness unless I could find
something that would brace her up.
"After reading and hearing so
much about Tanlac I thought as
it was doing others so much good it
micrht help my wife too, so I got a
bottle for her to try. By the time
she had used half her first bottle she
began to pick up, and I could see
that she was eating like she was
hungry and was enjoying her food.
Every dose she took after that
seemed to do her good, and she has
been steadily improving ever since.
Her nerves are stronger and she
slceis like a child all night, she eats,
anything she wants and all she
wants and has gaind five pornds in
weight. ihe doesn't look" tired and
droony like she did before taking
Tanlac, fhe gets up in the mornings
feeling fine and is always rertdy to
turn her hand to anything in the
way of housework. In fact, is fast
getting to be her old self again."
