GERMANS ATTACK
THE FRENCH LINES
Desperate Battles Are in Prog,
ress in the Vicinity of
Verdun
THEY MAKE GAINS
SOME LATE DISPATCHES
Atta C ..'131 However, Were Well
Sustained and Heavy
Losses Inflicted.
Troops belonging to sever (icrman
army corps, under Crown Prince Fred
en'ek William, are engaged along a
2*-mile front north of Verdun in a
desperate effort to drive baok the
French defending forces, probably
v. ith the capture of the great fortress
of Verdun in view.
There had been very heavy I'ighti'
g for a considerable period in this
district of the French war zone, hut
within the last few days the attacks
o the Germans have taken on added
strength. The battle lino has been
extended and now reaches from Mai
ancourt on the west to Etain, on the
east, with Verdun in the center only a
few miles southward.
The Germans claim to have made
important advances and to some extent
these are admitted by the French
War Office, which describes the hattie
as one of increasing intensity.
The German preparations were extensive,
and the bombardment of the
French positions wi tb thousands of I
shells was uninterrupted. As tne
French had foreseen this battle all
their available guns were called into
action and responded in kind to
the heavy shelling of the Germans.
While at some points the French
wore unable to resist the onslaught
of the attacking forces, along much
of the front, according to the Paris
communication, the attacks were well
sustained and very heavy losses were
inflicted on the Germans.
Another British steamer, the Westburn,
has put into port flying the
German flag and with a German
prize crew aboard. This vessel has
reached Santa Cruz, Teneriffe. She
has on board 206 prisoners taken
from various British vessels which
have been sunk by German raiders.

Herbs Safe for Baby

Constipation is a condition that affects
tlie old, young ami middle-aged,
and most people at one time or another
need help in regulating the action
of the bowels. Harsh cathartics and
purgatives should not be employed to
relieve constipation, as their effect is
only temporary while they shock the
system unnecessarily.
A remedy that can bo us n! with per

THINK OF
AFTER WAR BURDEN
(Continued From Page 2.)
pert of the Victoria Insurance Company,
one of the largest concerns of
its kind in Germany. I)r. Schmidt not
only has to deal intimately with the
company's thousands of employees,
but with its scores of thousands of
policy holders, and is in a position to
know the probable effect of taxation
on the masses. He declares that it
probably has passed through the
minds of countless if not all employers
that increases may be necessary,
but feels that the average employer
is not usually altruistic and that there
fore raises must be forced by those
who need them. This in spite of the
fact that the German employer and
man of means in general has shown
himself throughout the war to be self
sacrificing and thoughtful of those!
dependent on him.
Dr. Schmidt disputes energetically (
the claim of labor leaders that the returning
soldiers after the war are going
to depress wages, and upholds the
contention of Herr Bergmann and oth
ers that Germany needs and will need
for some time to come all the workers
she can get merely to re-supply herself.
Dr. Schmidt adds that the size
of a man's income really has less to
dr? with his exnendituros than hue hisi
own individuality. "What comes in
and how you come out bear little relation
to each other," is the way he
puts it. Expanding 011 this idea, he
declares that whether increases in
salaries come or not, Germany will be
able to meet any new taxation by
means of retrenchments, simply be-'
cause Germany is saving by nature.
He anticipates both new imperial taxes
and indirect assessments? The former
he prefers, because they cos:
less to collect, but he believes both j
wili be necessary, and hopes on the
whole for an increase in pay to meet
them.
The best representative of the outand-out
believers that Germany is t?.
see a general and all-around rise in
salaries is the director of one of Germany's
largest banks, who looks at
the matter from the standpoint of the
salaried employee rather than that of
the wage-earning workingman.
He is confident that the heavy taxa:
tion following the war will necessitate
a general advance in both salaries
and wages, and that this in turn
will cause a slowing up in the creation
of new capital for investment.
[The war, however, he says, has reveal
[ed Germany's economic strength in a
'new light which makes a new scale
of measurements necessary, and that
that which earleir seemed an impossible
task now seems much easier.
Deep Retrenchment.
Retrenchment is the watchword of
the great majority of laymen of those
who are puzzling in advance over the
after-the-war taxation problem. They
hope for booming business conditions,
possible indemnities and other favorable
turns, but they believe that in
economy rather than by increases of
wages that hit employer even while
they help employees is Germany going
to be enabled speedily to pay it*
.debts.
| The genaral lay view is voiced by
Count Kospoth, a member of the
House of Lords of the Prussian Diet
who declares that even a doubling oi
present taxes will raise only ar
amount equal to a drop of water ir
the ocean, ahd that the bulk of th<
debts must be liquidated by stric
economy.

favorite topic of discussion in the
l
newspapers of the empire. The Prank
furtcr Nachrichten seems to take mid
die ground with its estimate that the
total debt?merely from the war?,
will be somewhere between 40 and 50
billions of marks, with consequent in terest
charges annually of from 2,000
to 2,500 millions of marks.
In peace times the empire has toj
raise something like 2,100 millions in j
a year?1,700 of which are for the |
army and navy and 200 for interest on
debts. This sum, added to the interests
on the. war loans, past and prospective,
raises Germany's future tax
budget to about six billion marks (or
one and a half billion dollars) a year.
The Nachrichten predicts that this
sum will be raised wherever it can be
raised. It predicts taxes on war prof-,
its and on every form of increase of
fortunes, direct and indirect. Thej
yearly burden will be as great, says,
the paper, as the combined incomes of
all Germans who receive more than
5.000 dollars, and the principal equal
to the combined fortunes of all Gerd
man millionaires.
Indemnity Hopes.
The possible effect of war indemnities
is a favorite topic of speculation
with many newspapers. The Berliner
Tageblatt insists that it were "mistaken
and politically dubious" to try
at the present time to estimate what
taxes are going to me, or attempt to
work out the problem until the indemnity
matter is definitely settled.
It cautions, to be sure, against the
building up of any hope that the indemnities
will be very great, and at-j
tacks certain unnamed newspapers.
which of late have amused themselves
by working out mathematical and
financial problems by counting on all
sorts of huge indemnities, by indulg-,
ing, as the Tageblatt says, in "weird i
games with figures."
The Tageblatt is content mercy to
estimate that the taxes undoubtedly i
will be "heavy, very heavy," and that
monnnnlip? in nil nmlinKilitv nfill V-?r?

necessary. It expresses absolute confidence
in the ability of Dr. Helfferieh,
secretary of state for the treasury,
to determine wisely what the best
method of taxation shall be and how
much will be necessary, without impairing
the economic life of the people.
| "If passable roads are chosen," the
i Tageblatt concludes, "the German empire
will be able to raise the necessary
taxes without, to use the now
popular expression, having to starve
itself in the effort. Our people wilt
not be lacking in the needed spirit of
Galley 10
self-sacrifice and willingness to do
without things. The duty of the press
is to awaken this spirit and keep it
awake."
I In varying ways, members of the
Reichstag, regardless of party affia!
tions, indicate expectations that the
tax problem, and therefore the wage
problem, is going to depend on the
size of the indemnity which Germany
may receive. Each man interviewed
gave expresion to the confident belief
that the empire will receive
something from its present opponents
when the final accounts are cast up.
