! 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:

of which were purchased by savings
