LONDON Jan. 2.—Reviewing the
economic war of 1917 the Rhein-
isehe Westfaelische while uncom-
promisingly declaring that militiar-
ism must assert its predominance as
long as the German empire remains
flourishing admits its anxieties in
connection with Germany's future
economic life. It points out the
enormous increase in the wages be-
ing p iid to the working classes ac-.
companicd by an increase in prices.;
while the salaries of officials remain
urn-hanged.
Unquestionably great suffering ex-
ists am-.ng the class of persons hav-
ing -in dl fixed incomes.
It is now universally admitted that
th»* present system of maximum
prie -s na ans bankruptcy. A fair
and equal distribution of provisions
is now non-existent owing to the
rampant violations of the law.
Notwithstanding these drawbacks
Gi rmanv professes to look with con-
fidence tu the coming struggle in the
west where the kaiser appears to
bo taking a personal interest in the;
preparations. He has apparently!
revived the ambition he expressed]
at in earlier stage of the war. “I
mean to do what Napoleon couldn't
do. I mean to take Dover and Ca- i
lais. ’’
