Luxuries will not be permitted and inheritances will be taxed so every thing more than a certain moderate sum will be taken by the govern ment. Dr. Heim said he feared that hundreds of millions of marks already had been squandered by the finance ministers of Saxony and Bavaria. Scheidemann on Job. Phillip Scheidemann, the chan cellor in the new German govern ment, today showed himself able to handle conflicting demonstrations in the new national assembly with no sign of being intimidated by the wildest opposition or moved by the most severe heckling. One of the incidents of his speech was his ref erence to Austria's desire to join Germany. He said: "We desire no reluctant adherents and by the same token nobody wishing to join us should be prevented." There was almost a threat in his warning: "The entente is able to force any kind of peace on Germany, but if it is an unjust peace 70,000,000 people in their hearts will never forgive or forget.'
