The Times will print each day one of the thousands i.f Liberty Loan Slogans submitted by its readers. Today's is by GEORGE P. HERRING, 1205 Florida Ave. N. E.
"Better the U. S. Should OWE You Than the Kaiser Should OWN You"
Today
Buy Liberty Errds.
Income Tax Stops Suddenly.
That Ought to Puzzle You.
A Premium on Small Families.

Bj ARTHUR BRISBANE.
The German peace drive is di
vided into three parts:
One part defeat
One part cowardice.
One part lying
The national answer, the an
swer for all the nations, will be
sent to Prussia by Woodrow Wil
son, as it was sent by him to Aus
tria. Another answer, a good answer,
patriotic and convincinfr, is made
by every American who buys a
Liberty bond.
The Liberty bond purchase is
the American answer to German
peace talk.
The man -who buys a bond says
to the Kaiser, "While you are
talking and saying what you
don't mean, I'm sending my
money to be used in fighting. The
men and money of the United
States will make you mean peace,
although you don't mean it now."
Every good American will lend
his dollars as an answer to the
Prussian peace offensive.
This country will not be de
ceived as Russia and Roumania
were deceived.
The most enthusiastic lending
is the only answer, the fighting
answer, that this country will
make to, the Kaiser's insincere
peace talk.
Buy Liberty Bonds.
Have you observed this interest
ing fact in the income tax, and
asked yourself why?
If' a man has ten thousand dol
lars' income he pays a certain per
centage of Income tax. If he has
twenty thousand, he pays a great
deal more.
If he has a hundred thousand he
pays still more In proportion.
It goes increasing rapidly up to
five million dollars.
When it gets to five million dol
lars it 8T0PS. No increase after
that
WHY? Many of our prosperous,
hard-working citizens would con
sider an income of five millions a
year as small and Inadequate.
Some have ten, some twenty-five
millions of annual income.
At least one citizen has a hun
dred million dollars of income a
year or more.
There should be no individual
class or cash hostility to any man,
no matter what his fortune, if
legally acquired. .
But why should the Increase in
the rate of taxation stop at five
millions when there are many in
comes far above five millions?
If a man worth twenty thousand
a year can afford to pay tax, pro
portionately, much higher than
the man worth ten thousand a
year, can't the man worth twenty
or a hundred million a year afford
to be taxed much more heavily,
proportions!, than the man
who is struggling along with five
millions a year?
Do our democratic statesmen,
leading pure, simple lives, look
upon these gigantic fortunes as
the astronomers look upon the
distant fixed stars, so far away,
so eminently respectable, so big,
anyhow, that a difference of a few
millions or billions makes no dif
ference? If so, they should learn
to think, and TAX in billions. It's
the fashion.
Scientists say that a mixture of
liquid hydrogen and liquid ozone,
if perfected, would have an ex
plosive force three times as great
as that of nitroglycerine, "and
would be the most terrible sub
stance on earth."
It is possible that exactly such
explosions on a minute scale go
on within your body at the end of
a nerve every time you exert your
self physically.
Every touch of the typewriter's
fingers on the keys, as scientists
tell, means an actual explosion ;.t
the end of an efferent nerve; that
is to say, the nerve carrying or
ders FROM the brain to the
muscles.
Hydrogen and ozone play the
most important part in your make
up. Your body is more than three
quarters water, the water is two
thirds hydrogen and one-third
oxygen. In your lungs more
oxygen from the air is constantly
purifying the blood, and the ozone
is the strength that you find in the
oxygen.
Nature in the glowworm pro
duces light without heat, superior
to anything that man can produce.
Perhaps nature within living be
ings produces by a mixture of
ozone and hydrogen tiny explo
sions morp powerful than explo
sions of nitroglycerin
An Interesting possibility Let's
hope science in America will per
fect the hydrogen-ozone explosives
in time to let our flying machines
chow Berlin how the thing works.
Hydrogen and ozone would make
iery appropriate Prussian puri

EACE PLEAS IN
OF PRESIDENT
REJECTION IS E
Official texts of the German and Austrian peace ap
peals are in the hands of President Wilson.
The German note, addressed specifically to the Presi
dent, was delivered to him in the White House by Frederick
Oederlin, Swiss charge d' Affaires. The Austro-Hungarian
appeal was handed to Secretary of State Lansing by the
Swedish minister. ,
It was 'officially announced lhat the President would!
lose.no time in making, a reply to the notes, which are!
understood to be identical.
There were no official
Minister Ekengren at Secretary Lansing's office. He
merely told the Secretary that "he had been instructed by
his government to present a communication to the Gov
ernment of the United States from the Imperial Austrian
government. Secretary Lansing thanked him and took the
document. A copy of it was at once prepared and sent
to the President.
Iteplr Honrljr Expected.
The President's replj to the appeal
was expected hourly this afternoon
Before the receipt of the official texts,
he had canceled his golf engagement
and retired to his study. Officials re
called his prompt reply to the last
Austrian note, and predicted that
there would be no delay In the answer
to the latest appeals.
The reply will be a refusal to meet
the Teutonic powers for any barter or
discussion, according to strong indi
cations from a high governmental ati
thorlty. This person,rfwho predicted
accurately the rejection of the last
note, said today he "assumed" the an
swer would be a- rejection.
The State Department refused to
comment on the situation.
Apparently, however, the reply to
the appeals bad been written, for the
most part. In advance of their receipt,
and the only questions to be decided
were the form of the answer and the
question as to whether the allies
should be consulted before they are
made public.
Whether the President would In
clude In his reply a statement that
peace could be obtained b uncondi
tional surrender was a matter of con
jecture. Prince Max. German chancellor has
asked that President Wilsun com
municate with the allies annt the
peace proposals The President may
discuss with them the subject of a
restatement of war alms, making the
allied purposes unmistakably clear
In any event, he will let (iermanv
and AUBtrla know that America's
terms are plain and that no insincere
peace offers will swerve this nation
from its purpose.
