AMERICAN DESPOTISM. They don't seem, to like us in Germany any more. The German editors have been pouring broadsides at us lately. A tirade in the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger is particularly interesting to an American with a sense of humor. The writer is very much put out because we call this "God's Country." and imagine that it is the freest land on earth and that Americans are the finest folk. He finds fault with us because we are a na'ion "with instincts of the masses." and "from New York to San Francisco the people think, eat and drink alike, and have the same pleasures, the same silly jokes, manners and unkultur.'' We allow our women, he says, to play an altogether too important role. He foams at the mouth over our "tyrannical temperanace laws, false modesty and prudery." "And these people," he concludes, with fine sarcasm, "wants the world freed from Prussian despotism."' Wei!, we admit it. We admit all of it, ineludins some items not mentioned in this brief summary. That is. we admit the facts to which the worthy critic calls atatention. but not his interpretation of them. We freely granl that we love our country, and think it the best on earth; that we have a preference for our own kind people; that we are blest with an astonishing degree of national unity, revealed in our language, our newspapers, our amusements, our economic and social lief. We grant that w are inclined to temperance, and have little sympathy for the German ideal of saloons everywhere and beer seven days a week. We grant that women hc-re hold a place far higher than in Germany, and that our social life is characterized by a modesty and virtue utterly unknown and incomprehensible to Centra! EuropeWe admit it all and are proud of it. As for "desporiias, we have these things because we want them. If iTussian editor chooses to find intolerable tyranny in the voluntary practice of social decencies and Christian virtues, that's his own funeral. But be These things a3 they may, we have ne' er shot and killed any Red Cross nurses; we have never bombed the wounded End dying in hospitals; we have never ravaged defenseless women, then later mutilated them and often crucified them; we have never cut off the hands of children that failed to salute us; we have never turned women and children out to set in an open boat; we have never set dogs cn prisoners: we have never done hundreds of other fearful unprintable things that the Germans have done. We have our faults, but we thank God that the brutal, enotty Huns don t like us.

TITLES. The Canadians are proposing to put a ban on all tii'es and they have asked the imperial unthorities for their consent to do so. The resolution is thus expressed. No honor or titular distinction, saving those granted in recognition of military service during thf pros nt war or ordinarily bestowed by the sovereien, shall be conferred on a British subject resident in Canada, except on the advice of 'he prime minister of Canada. That is a sensible proposition. There is a delugo of titles that ought to be averted. We ought to get rid of the doctors, the colonels, the majors, the judges, the professors and all the rigamarole that proposes to exalt one citizen above another. We want to get back to Mr. Mr. Smith, Mr- Jones, Mr. Jenkins, with possibly the "Mr." left off and the Christian name take i's plate. In this country of American equality, every man should s:nd on his own merits and not on a mere title. The resolution excepts military lutes wliut, have fairly good reason, and yet when this war is over there will be so many titles that if a person on llohman si reef should call out "Captain." at least forty people would turn around, thinking it meant them. Whc n on the street, we hear "Colonel" called, we always turn around, thinking i? is we who are wanted, but it never is; it is always some other of the honored group. Yes, that's why we want it stopped.

INCREASED TAXATION NECESSARY. Secretary -McAdoo's position relative to taxation for the coming year was frankly and positively stated in his letter to Majority Leader Kitchin of the House of Rep. resentati ves. He wrote in part; "We can not afford to rely upon $4,000,000,000 only for taxation, because we shall then have to rely on racing $20,000,000,000 by loanas. This would be a surrender to the policy of high-interest rates and inflation, with all their evil consequences. "If we are to preserve the financial streneth of tht Nation we must do sound and safe things, no matter whether the hurt our pockets cr involve sacrifices sacrifices of a relatively insignificant sort compared wih those our soldiers and sailors are making to save the life of the Nation. "The sound thing to do unquestionably is to increase taxation, and the increases should be determined upon promptly anad made effective at the earliest possible moment" The Secretary's recommendations briefly are that one-third (estimated at $3,000,000,000,000) of the cash expenditures to be made during the fiscal year ending June

you and calling ON you! What are you doing for this War Thrift Savings movement. Are you doing anything? Are you laying down on the job? Just a word! Your country is counting on you to furnish the sinews of war in this, the mightiest contest that the world has ever known. It is counting on your money, your labor, and your spirit of self-sacrifice. World wars cannot be won by resources unless those resources are so directed that they count in the actual prosecution of the a war. "America, as we all know, is the richest nation in the world. It has the mosi money, the most factories and the most natural resources. Bu the money will not do us any good in the war unless it is mobilized for the use of the government. This is why the War Savincs Stamp campaign was devised by the government. It. gives every man, every woman and every child an opporl unity to do something for the coun'ry they love. You do not have to be a millionaire and buy a lot of bonds. Your twenty-five cen's for a thrift stamp or your $4.17 for a war savings stamp will help your country and help it now. And the fact that you d.d without something to get the money to pur chase this stamp will help even more, for the coun'ry cannot get its war work done if the factories are busy ministering to your pleasures.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS.

What has become of all that verbal massage about the rights of small nations to "determine their own allegiances and their own forms of political life?" Since that hope was held out to them by the presidential fiat of last January, six or eight of the small countries lying between Germany and Russia, and s' retching from the Baltic to the Black Sea. have set up housekeeping for themselves, and are now stiivinc to rid their premises of the German rats. Only one of them, Poland, has received any encouragement whatever from the Cnited States, but the fact that over 2.(00.non persons in this country claim Polish as their native tongue may account for Poland's specific mention. On May nth Arthur Balfour, British minister for foreien affairs, rx'ended to Esthonia and. Livonia, now joined for self government, assurances and guarantee? for a stable independence. Just the other day Argentine recognized the Finnish republic, crushed as it is under Germany, and Kncl.md did likewise a day or so later- ' Nothing from the C. S. A. on the subject. Each of these small nations has taken seriously the statement of President Wilson to the effect that they should be permitted to govern themselves and no lonseij be pawns on the European chessboard. It is a moot question with some as to whether every one of the small new independencies is capable of self-government, but, having acted on Mr. Wilson's conditions by declaring for autonomy and independence, it would see that they might logically expect something further in the nature of assurances from him. They probably have received no intimation that there might possibly have been something political in the hopes held out to them which

would prove a tasty morsel to their relatives resident in

the United States and possessed of a pretty healthy vote.
