LLOYD GEORGE
DETERMINED ON
GERMAN PAYMENT
London, Feb. 18.?Mr. Lloyd
Geoi^ge, the prime' minister declared
in the House of Commons today
that he stood by his pledge that Ger
many must pay to the limit of her J
capacity.
The pryne minister was discuss
ing the German reparations question
in answering Horatio Bottomiey's
arraignment of the government's
policy of alleged inaptitude with re
gard to forcing Germany to comply
with the reparations demands, the
provision for the trial of war crimi- :
nals and other portions of the peace :
treaty.
There was a great difference con
tinued the premier, between Ger- ;
many paying for the whole cost of I
the war and paying to the limit 011:
her capacity. <
"The whole* point is as to the
limits of Germany's capacity to pay' 1
he said. ]
The allies, continued the premier
had taken the best advice available 1
and had summoned the ablest men ]
to be found, upon whose advice the i
present demands has been made, .<
and the allies were carrying out the ]
peace terms to the utmost of their '
power. . <
Germany, he pointed out had de- '
livered bonds to the allies but the
value of these bonds depended upon i
the value of the German security at -
the present moment. Raw ^material j
ships, property of other sorts* and'1
coal, also had beeit delivered added '
the permier, and the question was '
what was their value.
Divergent Contention*
The Germans argued, continued
Mr. Loyd George, that if the allies
took the value of the raw material <
at the ti me it was delivered the
sum amounted to more than the 20,
000,000,^00 marks named in the
peace treaty. The allies contended
that the sum was less than this, and
the matter was one that the repara
tions commission was examining.
Even according to the allied account
ing, he said, it was a matter of hun
dreds of millions of pound^ sterling
which had been' delivered, and the
question was purely one of the time
at which one was to assess the value
of the raw material that had been
handed over. !(
Mr. Lloyd George laid stress upon 1
the difficulty of exacting an indem- 1
nity in another country and secur
inc its Davment here. 1
"You can easily collect in Ger- 1
many any indemnity you impose, '
within reasonable limits, added the_ 1
premier, but how are you going to 1
transfer it here? There is much
, loose thinking on this subject. j
"I take the view that we have got '
to do the best for the country out 1
of what is essentially a bad job, as
every war issue. The war cost some- i
thing beyond what any country can (
pay, and does any one imagine that j
any country in the world can pay
the whole cost?
"Indemnities can be paid in goods ^
or seiMce, and that is why we intro- c
duced an export tax on Germany's t
outgoihg goods. That means that j
everything she sends out in goods
is gold, for she gets something for *
which there is a gold equivalent." ! *

"POETRY'IN HIGH SCHOOL"
SUBJECT FOR EDUCATORS
Columbia, Feb. 18.?Of special
interest and value to high school in
structors of the state is- a bulletin
just issued by the Extension 'De
partment of the University on the
subject of "Poetry in tHfe High
Sfhnnl." of which Dr. Reed Smith.
director of the department is au
thor. The (bulletin is isuued by the
University extension department
and is for circulation among high
school teachers.
The bulletin is designed to be of
service to educators in handling
what is recognized as one of the
hardest problems of the high school
teacher. The bulletin begins with a
discussion of the problem for in
sructing high school literature, and
then under its several chapters it ;
discusses the figurative in poetry; 1
the underlying thenie interpretation
tre dawn of appreciation, the mental .
image as material of poetry, and the <
ihree incidentals, biography, memo- J
ry work and pictures and maps. 1
rher is also a chapter in which Dr. <
Smith gives suggested courses in s
parallel reading and class work in 1
iterature.
I
The bulletin opens with a fore- {
vord by Prof. Patterson Wardlaw, '
)f the University faculty, in which .
ie pays a tribute to the value of Dr. ^
Smith's production, in that it not on- i
y teaches pupils to get what they s
lesire, but it teaches them to love 1
he greatest. The aim of the bulletin,
s to quicken the pupil's taste for j
food literature. "I know nothing of j
ts type which equals Dr. Smith's
irticles in scholarly insight and in
practical helpfulness to the teacher,'
;ays Dr. Wardlaw's foreword.

WILSON'S RUSSIAN
POLICY WILL SOON
BE VINDICATED
Washington, Feb. 18.?The Wil
son administration's policy with re
gard to Russia will be vindicated
when a responsible government is
established in that country, and will
result in Americans obtaining a vast
amount of Russian trade, Under
Secretary Davis of the State De
partment, predicted today before
the House foreign affairs commit
tee. Mr. Davis told the committee
that two-thirds of Russia did nv;
recognize the Bolsheviki and that
only 600,000 Russians were profejs
ed communists.
Russia j and Siberia, Mr. Davis
said, are tremendous potential mar
kets for the United States, which

not pursue a shortsighted policy
that would bolster up the soviet
government.
"The Russian people are grateful
to the United States, and their
friendly attitude will be a tremen
ious advantage to us when trade
possibilities develop," said the Un- i
ier-Secretary.
Discussing Great Britain's Rus
sian policy, Mr. Davis said the idea
that that country by enterng into a
trade agreement with the Lenine
government would gobble up Russian '
markets, was "all bunk." England, '
he added, is attempting to stop the
spread of Bolshevism rather than ^in
crease its trade opportunities. <
INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW
Numerous errors in claims for de
ductions have been discovered in tax
payers' returns.
To be allowed, deductions for loss
/
es must be confined to~-fche following
classes: Losses sustained in trade or
business; losses sustained in transac
tions entered into for profit, though
not connected with a trade or busi
ness; losses sustained ,of property not
connected with trade or business if,
arising from fires, shipwreck, storms
or other casualty, or from theft. To
th'e extent any of the above .losses
are compensated for by insurance
they are not deductible.
To be allowed as a deduction in
the return for 19_0 a loss must have
been actually sustained during that
yeAr. A taxpayer may feel certain
that real estate owned by him is
worth less than what he paid for it.
A. merchant may be convinced that
certain stock can not be sold unless
marked below cost. In neither event,
however, is he entitled to a claim for
deduction until the toss is made ab- 1
solute by sale or other disposition of
the property.
Claims for losses must conform
:losely to the wording of the statute.
\. loss sustained in the sale of an au
tomobile purchased for personal use
is not deductible, because it is not a
:ransaction "entered into for profit."
\ loss sustained by a taxpayer in the
;ale of his home is not deductible.for
;he reason that ordinarily when a
han buys a residence and moves into
t he has no intention of selling and
las not 'entered into a transaction
'or profit."
