STATES U. S. WAR COST SHOULD BE PAID BY GERMANY Enemy Must Pay to Limit, Senator Simmons States Will Lighten Tax Burden. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. Germany should be compelled to pay, as far aa possible, the cost of the war to the United States, Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, declared on the floor of the Senate Tuesday. In the opinion of the senator, the American bill of costs presented to Germany should not only include reparation for the killing of non-com-batanta and destruction of ships, but the expense to the United States of the conduct of the war, reimbursement for which, if only in part, would go far toward lightening the future burden of taxation borne by the American people. "1 do not know if the central powers will be able to meet the demand3 that will be made upon them by the allies and the United States," said the senator, " but these demands certainly ought to be based upon the capacity of the central powers to pay, and that ought to be our only limitations. "The United States ought to demand the same' Indemnity for its losses in proportion to the demands of its allies, with the possible exception of France and Belgium. This indemnity would help meet the tax demands here, and I believe the American people expect

it." President Wilson never has indicated whether he would countenance a demand for indemnification for the cost of the war &r any part thereof. At his direction, however, the state department, has compiled the property loss due to the submarine warfare, with a view of demanding reparation. Secretary of the Navy, Daniels recently naid America would exact no indemnities from Germany. MANIEITMADENEW GOVERNOR OF PARIS 39 Major General Manier. As the new governor of Paris.

WITH THOSE IN ARMY AND NAVY

This column, containing news of Richmond and Wayne county soldiers and sailors, will appear daily in the Palladium. Contributions will be welcomed. - Word was received by Mrs. Jennie Plessinger of Philomath last Friday announcing the death of her son, Private Jacob Plessinger. Private Plessinger died following an attack of spinal mengltls. "The Yanks are sure hell on wheels from what the Boche' prisoners say," wrote Elmer Millett to his wife of 215 Washington street. Winchester, recently. This letter was written on Oct. 14 and the writer spoke of being near the front with a division which had been on the front for several days. On Nov. 11 he wrote: "Am- now in an English hospital under the care of some Catholic sisters, as I was wounded on the morning of Oct. 31, about 5:30 o'clock. Got hit by a piece of shrapnel shortly after going over the top. The shrapnel was from a 77 M. M. "I have seen some X-ray plates of my leg and it has a short compound fracture of the fibila. "The nurses are very good and kind, and I seem to be improving so that it will only be a short time before I'll be going about on crutches. "The Red Cross called this evening bringing me a bag containing shaving o,or oTirl hniah tnnth naste and brush. Olrcl - a 'soap, wash rag, one pair wristlets, one pack gum, one towel, root powaer, pencil and writing material, all of which I needed and appreciate very much. I thank them for same. November 19th. "The splints were taken off my leg yesterday. I was in a wheel chair all evening. I will get my crutches tomorrow and commence to hobble around again. It seems good to be out nf hprt ne-ntn. T talked to a Red Cross nurse last evening from the good U. S. A., for a half hour whicn was a change from the English nurses. Tn earlier letters Millett said: ,v. f The natives are making wine. Bread ! and wine seem to be their chief ra tions. The leaves of bread are aDOUi twenty-four inches across and five and a half or six inches through, and round. , It contains oats and barley flour and is very good. Our bread is shipped in bags. - October 2. I am now sitting outside the billet on the ground; the back of my chair is a wooden harrow: my writing desk is a rmall board on my knees. I am also balancing a three pound helmet on my head. The peasants are busy making wine. They have a funny way of making it. The grapes are picked in baskets, mashed and tramped in benats by bare feet, stems and all: they stand for ten days, then are pressed; the juice is placed in a barrel where it is fermented again. It is sure a stinking sour mess. The people work oxen borros, we call them. The yoke is strapped on the horns of the oxen. I would rather be" on the firing line than where I am, although it is no doubt hell there. This suspense, is also hell. October 14. I arn now in a different division.

"The last gun has been fired; the last village devastated. ; The fighting Is over. France, Belgium, Servla are lying cold, gaunt, wrecked. And shall we say our work is over? "When a house Is burning down there is work to be done by the firemen," Dr. Rae continued. "But after the flames have been put out and the homeless victims are left with only the charred ruins of their miserable lot, there still is needed service to bs rendered by friends. "During a tornado there are many acts of heroism accomplished during those terrible minutes. But-after the whirlwind has passed, when homes and men lie in mangled masses along its wake, other acts of heroism are to be done by rescue workers. And during an earthquake which destroys whole cities, the struggle for life at that time is naught compared to the struggle for a living which must be faced after the earthquake is over. Then it is that whole nations are called upon to help the destitute peoples. And nations'respond. Court Records CKUEU V I CHAnGkU Emma C. Thornburgh has filed suit for divorce from Charles C.

Service Just Begins

"These four years the world has been plunged into the most staggering calamity history ever has known. Thousands of men have gone even from our midst to give their service in the cause; and from the windows of the homes which they have left, we see the blue, sometimes gold, stars marking their sacrifice. . . , . "The struggle now is over, and from the pangs of untold suffering, a new Ideal has been born the Brotherhood of Nations. The world has been made safe for democracy. But is democracv to die In its cradle? "Twenty centuries ago a little newborn child lay in a manger. Wise men brought their gifts and a single white star marked the spot in Bethlehem. "Today we are entering upon a new celebration of that season. Peace has ! come on earth. But over half the world homes are desolate, children are fatherless, men and women are begging for bread. Do you have good-will towards men? Will you give your gift to the child? ' "Even now at many windows can be mm Sugar-Saving Desserts Jiffy- Jll tnaka instant desserts which ara rich and fruity.
