People who have nothing than a general idea .of what dream is, ore Invifcxlto scan-over the proposals of his Imperial chancellor ship, one von Hertling, who has con. descended; to "tip' his "rnit" to, some anxious inquirers in, the German reichntag. Whatever may be - the , opinion heretofore held as to von . Hertieva vagaries , in other respects, no one will deny that he is not lack ing in modesty wheh it cornea r to making demands. : Poor little Bel gium, the only nation which Germany has so far demonstrated her , super- . iority over, is to to. held 1'as.u host age" until the allies come through with an Indemnity; until the French republic renounces all1 claims to Alsace-Lorraine ; till the entente na tions and the American republic as , well, give a guarantee to keep hands off of the Russian states, and a few more of the monstrous impossible ties. i . 'Someone ought to slip von Hertling the information that there may be nc Prussian army in Belgium by Christ mas. Ha may have an inkling of it already, but will not make the admis. sion to the anxious inquirers in the relchstag . .. : The whole proposal is as transpar ent as anything that has lately de veloped. By making these extrava gant demands the inference is left up to the German people that all Ger many needs is to ask for it. Why not? Haven't the Germans got the greatest army and navy in the world ? Haven't they got the U-boats to stop aid to the allies and to destroy the commerce of the al lies? Haven't they got a crown prince who is 'on the road to Paris? Those Germans ' in tho reichstag who are so impertinent as to make inquiries must have got their tip from the prince when he wanted to know of His Majesty,. "When do we start for Paris, papa?" The pomp ous reply to all the inquiries should silence the Ccimnn element thnt may have become slightly suspicious about the realization of the program. .

ARE BETTER SAVEKS. The effect of tho Liberty Loans and the War Savings Stamps-on sav ings banks' deposits has been watched with keen interest by economists and financiers. The experience, of Eng land was very ' encouraging; In the year 1018 the English small deposf. tors purchased billions of dollars of war bonds and. at the same time in creased their deposits In savings' banks over $00,000,000. ' The belief is entertained that the result in America has been similar t) that in England, and that despite the purchase by the American people of some' $10,000,000,000 of Liberty Bonds and $500,000,000 of Wap Sav: ings Stamps, a very fair proportion of which were purchased by savings banks depositors, savings banks de posits have 'Increased. ; ' Full, reports .have ;been received. from, the savings banka in New York' state.
