Dealing with the proposed new coal ,tax the finance minister said that the , question of taking over the coal mines , by the state had been rejected as im ! possible. Count Von Roedern said that the war credit voted last October was nearly exhausted and continued: "As in all the belligerent countries so also here the war expenditure in the last few months has created a certain tension but it is certainly not greater with us than with our enemies. 1 have no reason to suppose that' tho proportion of two to one which I esti mated In October existing between the expenditure of the entente and the central powers has changed. The war expenditure of the world exceeds 300,- 000,000,000 of marks and not more than 3 00,000,000.000 is our share. The cost in tho next few mouths vill not relax and therefore I ask a war credit of 15,000,000,000 marks. Next month we must Issue another war loan and this budget picture is certainly serious, but our economic life gives us no rea son to IOOK to the future less confi dently than hitherto. • Against the demands of our enemies for repar ation we shall bo able to put the word indemnity." Count Von Roedern was followed by the Socialist Deputy Fricdrich ICberi, who reiterated the determination of the German Social Democracy to hold on until a peace was won which would secure the vital interests or the Ger man people. Deputy George Ledebour, leader of the Socialist minority. In refusing lo follow the administration, said: "We cannot by voting these credits take the responsibility for the war aims of the government. The insin cerity of the peace offer minimizes its value. Tho right of nations to enjoy pea<;e'is violated in a manner in which Germany and Austria-Hungary created a new Polish state. From the begin ning we opposed unrestricted subma rine warfare and we demand its ces sation. (llerr Ledebour was interrupt ed at this point by loud laughter. 1 It corresponds as little to the laws of hu manity as the British plan of starva tion. We ask the Socialists of the en tente nations to fight the jnachinations of their governments which are frus trating peace and we ask our Ameri can friends of peace to prevent in the last hour, war with America." Several speakers of the other par ties supported the credit, which was promptly passed through all stages. Only 18 Socialists voted in the nega tive. Fat That Shows Soon Disappears Prominent fat that comes and stays where it is not needed is a burden; a hindrance to activity, a curb upon pleasure. You can take off the fat where it shows by taking after each meal and at bedtime, one Marmola Prescription Tablet. < These little tab lets are as effective and harmless as the famous prescription from which they take their name. Buy and try a case to-day. Your druggist sells them at 75 cents OP if you prefer you may write direct to the Marmola Co., 864 Woodward Ave., Detroit, Mich. You can thus say good-bye to diet ing, exercise and fat.
