The famous billion-diillnr indemnity imposed on Franco by Prussia in 1871 hns certainly come home to roost, bringing a big brood with it. I Germany is obligated to pay the I hilly Allies 20 timps that much within the next five years. After that there will he many more billions, the precise amount being determined by German ability to pay, over n period of yeurs. The additional indemnity may, amount to more than $20,000,000,000.' Whut the Germans are now concern ed with, however, is the sum immed ' lately payable. And in order to raise It they are confronted by a program v.hich can be described ns nothing less than finnnciul frightfulness. Never hns there been anything like ) any more thnn there wns ever any- h.ing like German military frightful- floss.

The amount sought Is ns unprecedented ns the means nf seeking it.. Possessions under SPJoO will not be touched, save by ordinary taxation. Above thnt figure the rale of seir.ure is progressive, rising from 10 to per cent. The latter rate applies to properties of $7.10,000 or iriore. Thus a man owning $750,000 will have lo BUrrender about $500,000 of it to the stnte; a man with $: ,000,00(1 must give up $2,000,000 nf it, etc. The plan, if formally adopted by the German parliament, will become, ef fective as rnpidly ns the properties ran be liquidated. It will take half of all the wealth of the rich, and one third of nil the wealth of Germany.
