A Germany of Warriors Men
aces World if Teutons Win
LLOYD-GEORGE'S VIEWS ON THE WAR .
Allies will win. They arc, firmly united.
England now lins one of the greatest armies in the world and in a
cry short time it will ho the best-equipped army in the world.
It is a compeer of England's fleet, the greatest that rides the waves.
If Germany wins it will look for fresh spheres to conquer.
National salvation requires elimination of Teutons as a world Power.
British fleet saved England from being overrun as the Balkans were
swept
Industrial Britain is the mighty power that reinforces the two arms
of the service.
By IVEK NICHOLSON
(t'opyttuht, t'Jtit, hy tic tntcruntlonat .Vn 8eifc.)
LONDON, Jan. 24.
Few people will quarrel with the statement that the outstanding figure
of the war in Great Britain is David Lloyd-George, Minister of Munitions.
For a month past it has been the aim and ambition of every newspaper man
ft &?& afcp
ill " wf?'-;
i.LOYiMiUORGK. the first placo, wo have introduced
tcores of millions' worth of automatic machinery which will have an enormous
effect upon our industries when the wnr is over.
"In addition to that we are adding to our already great industrial army
of skilled workers and shall need them in the future to replace the ravages
of war in this country.
"Therefore, so far from being the exhausted Britisher in everything
that constitutes real and truo wealth, we shall be a better organized, better
equipped, better trained and, what is more important, perhaps, a better
disciplined nation. In fact, we shall indeed be national and not a congeries
of .conflicting interests."
"As you know," he said when I mentioned this point, "I have always
opposed settlement of international disputes by organized force. I fought
this doctrine for three years when I thought my country applied it in South
AfnVn on.l ...no ir. fnvr.,- nf TtrUnin entering this War because I Saw in it
the only means of destroying this hideous German menace to peace and
civilization.
"Everything that has happened in 18 months of the war tends to con
firm me in what Premier Asquith has called 'the great decision.' You will
renumber that Mazzini said war is the greatest of crimes when it is not
waged 'for the sake of a great truth to enthrone or a great lie to entomb.
"Yes, the Allies are engaged in a mighty effort to dig the grave of that
kicked lie that 'might is right and, mark you, we shall not cease to strive
to our uttermost until we have dug the grave deep and wide and can abandon
our united toil in the firm conviction that we are insured beyond all possible
doubt against its resurrection."
JJoyd - George la not one of those
PerferWd, perspiring' patiiots who tmag
lna they are doing- their country a ser
vice by decrying everything German.
Talking on this phase, ho s.i!J:
THE WEATHER
Althoueh It did not look like rain, we
t Imitated between a walking stick and an
umbrella as to which to tnke as our com-
1 pardons on our matutinal constitutional
.(morning walk) downtown. There must
utve been soma subconscious hralnwork
operating upon us-and la very possible
that nil our bralnworl: Is subconscious,
. Ir that matter, as It would boather bad
ferulta think- ilellhanitelv about anything.
lAt any rate, we decided on tho cluiruy
aDrena Instead of llu dapper warning
lick. WhvT II worried us: for. while
C ItUs perfectly proper to do an unreason
s' fw Uilng (as any woman will tea youi.
$ H Is, neverthelebs, wlso to have a good
rason ror doing an unrcasonaoie jnuis.
w -we looked through our Intellect cham
btrs for the reason for that umbrella and
'nought pf all tho things we'd been read
ing In newspapers, etc., that might have
led us t0 the decision. tVnsn'i there some
catchword that had oecn engraved on
cur toflml and that would explain the
Uklng out of an umbrella on a clear dayl

on this side, cither permanent or visit
ing, to get Lloyd-George to talk for
publication. Up till today he had
steadfastly refused, but at my earnest
solicitation and mainly, of course, be
cause he wanted to, Mr. Lloyd-Gcorgo
consented to answer some questions
dealing with the situation today after
IS months of war.
The first question was whether Eng
land is really putting its whole weight
into the war. Minister Lloyd-George
replied:
"England is preparing to put its
whole weight into' the war, and Ger
many will feel it in a very short time.
It is an effort such as England has
never made a truly prodigious ef
fort. "In the days before the war she
had the greatest fleet in the world, but
now she hus one of the greatest
nrmics, nnd in n very short time it
will be about the best-equipped army
In the world.
"But that is not all! A rtew Britain
is now being developed a new indus
trial Britain. Under the pressure of
war we arc improving and quickening
our industrial resources to nn extent
which would have been impossible but
for the demands of this conflict."
"Let me give you an example," re
marked the Munitions Minister. "In

INCOME TAX LAW
GETS SUPREME COURT'S
SEAL OF APPROVAL
Sweeping Decision Handed
Down by Chief Justice Sus

pretation of the Act
VALID USE OF POWER
WASHINGTON. Jan 24. 111 a sweeping
decision today tho Supreme Court set
(Is seal of approval upon the Income tax
law, passed In 1913, as now administered
by the Government. The opinion was de
Ihered by Chief Justice White In n test
case brought by William II. Hrnsliaber.
a stockholder of the Union Paclllc Rail
way. The Court ruled In effect that every
step taken by Congress In carrjlng out
the letter nnd the spirit of the ICth
amendment to the constitution, the Income
tnx amendments, wns correct. The con
stitutionality of the Income tax law Itself
waa not questioned In the Itrushaber
case, but nearly every detail of the law
was challenged as Invalid.
VALID RXKRCISB OF POWER.
These separata features of the law
which were criticised' In the lest case
were upheld aa a valid exercise of power:
First. Collection of the ta from March
t to December 31, WI3. a period before tho
law actually went Into effect.
Second. Collection at the source
Third, The principle of progressive tax
ation, making larger Incomes subject to
higher rates than smaller incomes.
Fourth. The proposition that Individ
uals may deduct from their tnxable In
comes corporation dividends already
(axed, but corporations may not do this.
Fifth. Variation In the amount of nor
mal exemption, according to tho aizo of
tho Income.
Sixth. HJght ot dlscilmlnatlon between
married and single persons.
Seventh. Permitting farmers to omit
from their returns farm i-roducts used
in their sustenance, although denlng
other persons the right of deducting their
family expenses.
The opinion of the Cour. waa unani
mous, ,
THE COURTS OPINION.
The great powers of legislative bodies
to levy taxea waa pointed out by Chief
White, In the decision, when he said:
"It la ot course superfluous to say that
arguments as to the expediency of levying
such taxea or the economic jnlstake or
wrong Involved In their impositions are
boond judicial cognizance"
Referring to the constitutional objec
tions brought against the tax In this case.
