Another German sea captain has been seized with an attack of cold feet, and announced that he will not attempt to take the Kronprinz Wil helm out of the Virginia Capes. Well. considering the fact that a half dozen or mote British and French warships were waking for that nice juicy prize to stick her nose outajde of the three-mile limit, it might be supposed that the Teuton command r would think several times before making a dash. It seems to be the general concen sus or opinion mat me European .. .. . .1., - war will come to an end soon and that this will be preceded by a last mighty effort on the part of the Germans Of course thousands of lives and millions of dollars worth of peroperty will be destroyed. However, if the conflict drags unceasingly on the same loss will occur and we think that it would be bettor to kill a! hose thousands within a few days' time and end the carnage, let the spoils fall to whom they may. "Skirts this year are longer," says an exchange. "Not only are the skirts longer, but they make the wearer look longer," pipes another paragrapher. We might add that they have just the opposite effect on those members of the masculine sex who can be seen lolling around the street corners when the after noon parade begins.

Hogers, of. the Bureau of Hhe ('casus. Department of Commerce, anf compiled under the direction of Mr. Strait M. Grogan, chief statistician in charge of the inquiry. Tlie bulletin shows a total proper t taS levy of nearly $1.350,000,OfX) throughout the United States in 1912, amounting to $13.97 per capita. These amounts represent increases of.,86 per cent and 51 per cent, respectively, over the total and pef-capita lev ies in 1902. "The lowest wr capita figure shown by any state in 1912 was that of North Carolina, 4.33," said the bulletin. "Other states in which the levies were small are Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tenncsee, Alabama, Mis sissippi, Arkansas and Texas, in all of which the per capita tax for 1912 was less than S8." The census statement follows: "The levy of taxes on real estate, personal property, and other prop erty subject to ad valorem taxation by states, counties, municipalities, school districts and other civil divis ions in 1912 amounted to a total of SI ,349,8-11,000, or $13.91 per capita. The per. capita levy in lt was $9.22, and in 1860 was only $3. It should be kept in mind that these figures do not cover the Federal revenues, most, of which are derived from various forms of indirect taxa tion, and also exclude revenues de rived by municipalities from liquor licenses and other licenses and fees. "The tax levy of New York for state, county, municipal and other Purposes in 191J aggregated $221, 467,000 marly one-ixth the total for the United States and over two and one-third times the correspond ing figure for Pennsylvania, which had the second largest levy, $93, 375,KX). Next to Pennsylvania was Illinois, with a total levy of $84, 834.000, followed -lncry by Massa chusetts, with $82,566,000. The per capita figures for these four states, :n the order in which named, were $22.80, $11.52, $14.37, and $23.27. The greatest per capita levy, how ever, was that .of Montana, $26.83. Next in order were Nevada, with $24.02, ami California, with $23.50 There were thus three Western states in which the per capita tax levies were higher than those in any East ern state; and the per capita levies of two others Washington, with $23. 21, and Oregon, with $22.64 were nearly as high."
