An Indication that Germany doubta her ability to impose an Indemnity on the entente allies in the event of peace is con tained In Berlin reports that new war taxes are proposed. Hitherto Germany has paid its war expensea on borrowed money. Finance Minister Helfferlch stated August that there would be no levy of taxes because the indemnity Germany would demand from con quered territory would be aufflcient to meet all her expenses. This statement, five days later, caused British Secre tary of War Grey to utter his now famous remark, that so long as Ger many la fighting for "supremacy and tribute, the war must go on." Introduction of the tax bill in Ger many Indicates that a pressing neces sity has arisen. Retirement from Helffrlch's original promise that th war would be conducted on Indemnities lias caused much depression. To th-s trightful -cost to Germany's younij manhood and economic sacrifices, the burden of taxes will be added. This may become the filial straw whkft will break German militarism.
