WAR AND INCOME TAX CAUSE MANY GERMANS TO CONSIDER LEAVING ' ' (By Associated Prts) ' " BERLIN, Feb. '16. Studnets of economic subects assert that at least 5,000,000 Germans are preparing to leare the Fatherland for the United States, " Mexico ' and South American states as soon as they are able to raise the passage money or obtain admission In the case of the United States. . " A majority of the would-be emigrants have expressed a preference to go tq South America. Official and unofficial quarters have displayed considerable v unesi-

ness over the class of men who are

now emigrating or preparing to emi

grate. The head of the government

immigration office said. Best Class Leaving

"The most able-bodied, enterprising

f taiwart sons or Germany are leaving,

The very poor, the Communists, the

Radicals, the ' Bolshevik!, generally

are remaining with us. It is the fam

ily of some substance which is moving

out."

One cause of this emigration is con

ceded to be the war taxes, and particularly the income tax, which vir

tually prohibits the salaried man from laying something aside for the rainy day. , These men generally no longer

patronize the banks. They are hoard

ing a little bit of salary each month

against the day they can emigrate

In spite of the general agreement

among political economists that Germany is over-crowded, and unless radical readjustments are made within

one year the nation will be able to support only 50 per cent of the present population, suggestions have been

made that the government take immediate steps to regulate the number and quality of emigrants. With this in view a new law is being drafted. May Regulate Emigration It is argued that this tide of emigration could be turned back upon Germany to good purposes. Germany's arid lands, if irrigated or drained, would be capable of supporting 10,000 000 additional persons, it is said, and the government has been urged to make these lands available, to the numbers now flocking into the cities.

ITALIAN PAPER URGES WIPING OUT OF DEBTS

(By Associated Press) ROME. Feb. 16. Cancellation of the debts of allied nations by the United States is urged by the Tribuna in the course of an editorial on the economic and financial situation in Europe. The newspaper Fays the United States may find her very strength a peril in future.

"Only by total or partial extinguish-.

ment of their debts," the newspaper asserts, "can the nations of the old world find salvation. " Otherwise the New York bankers may transform all Europe into an immense Germany, crushing victdrS and "Vanquished alike in a financial vise. How can Italy pay her debts abroad when Austria can pay her nothing? Why should Italy issue from the war crushed by debt when Czecho-Slovakia, for instance, comes out owing almost nothing? "The United States is in a position of overwhelming superiority, but is threatened to be imprisoned by that very superiority. Only total or partial cancellation of Europe's debts can reopen to America the material and moral powers of Europe and save her from solitude in which, like Midas, she may. die in a sea of gold."

SPEEDY LINERS ENTER PASSENGER SERVICE BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 16. The sailing within an hour of each other from neighboring piers here today of the Golden State and Hawkeye State marks the entry into active service of the first two of the longer and speedier type of passenger and cargo liners being built for the shipping board. These two liners are representative of the 535-foot class of which sixteen are being constructed in Atlantic coast shipyards; with the seven liners of the 522. foot class built for the shipping board by the New York Shipbuilding corporation, they form the only passenger liners in the immense shipping board fleet. The Golden State, which was built at Newport News, has been allocated to Pacific Mail Steamship company for its trans-Pacific service, and the Hawkeye State, built locally at the Sparrows Point yard, to the Matson line for its service to Honolulu. Both liners have accommodations for 251 first cabin passengers and 300 steerage; they are of 21.167 tons displacement and are twin-screw, oilburning, turbine-driven vessels with a designed sea speed of 17 knots.

SHRINE CLUB ENJOYS EATON ENTERTAINMENT A "regular" night was enjoyed at Eaton Tuesday night when 150 Shrlners and their wives of the Zem Zem Shrine club of Richmond, including guests, deported in the armory to the music of the Pryor band. Two interurbans loaded with merrymakers left the city at 6 o'clock, arriving at Eaton at 7 o'clock. The Eaton delegation met the incoming cars and escorted the nobles and their ladies to the Christian church, where the banquet hall, under the direction of Noble Tyrrell and his committee, was spread with good things to tempt the appetite. Large Attendance The attendance far exceeded the expectations of the committee, plates being set for 141. Everyone was seated, even two luckless nobles who arrived late and ate off a shelf in the pantry. The service was excellent and the dinner left nothing to be desired, the local men declared. Following the dinner the patrol marched to the armory, where they donned their uniforms of orange and black,. and put on a short, snappy drill for the benefit of the assemblage. It was the first appearance of the team following a very short series of practice drills, and the results far exceeded the expectations of the nobles. Captain Ball has worked hard with the small amount of material available, and the showing of his proteges is pleasing. Following the drill, the band struck up a grand march and, led by Shieks Duffin and Holland, the nobles and their, partners circled the hall in a grand march, followed by a dance, which lasted until the special cars arrived at the armory at 11:30, and the tired crowd left for Richmond. We had some time.
