Half a Million Cases in the Austrian Capital, A despatch from Vienna, Austria, says : ' The worst epidemic of influ- enza on record is afflicting the Austrian capital. Half a million cases have been reported during the past three months, according to the statistics of the City Health De- partment, and the epidemic is still raging, so severely as to tax the capacity of the private doctors, public hospitals and nursing insti- tutions, Whole families appear to be attacked simultaneously, and persons of all ages are affected. The disease on this occasion is of a peculiarly virulent type, with seri- ous after effects, such as inflamma- tion of the lungs, bronchitis, indi- gestion and general debility. The doctors, hope the setting in of mild- er weather will diminish the out- break. TILE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL. Christening by Wife of Governor- General, Lally Denman. published, of a happening at the Forest Hill home in Ohio : Almost everybody thinks that the Rockefeller stomach cannot endure pie. And it is a fact that pie is not permitted on the Rockefeller table, by strictest order of Mrs. Rocke- feller, who, it might as well be un- derstood, is the real boss in the "richest man's" household. Employes of the household, how- ever, have their pies, and it was one of these pies, baked for the housekeeper, that fell under Mr. Rockefeller's eye as it sat cooling on awindow ledge of the Forest Hill home one afternoon. The moment the Rockefeller eye glanced upon that pie, the Rocke- feller face underwent a change. It grew boyishly ravenous. It might be said that the Rockefeller mouth watered. It was a cherry pie, the crust was flaky, and the rich cherry juice had oozed out a little around the edge. "Can't I have some of that pie I" begged the "richest. man." The housekeeper didn't know. She'd have to 'see Mrs. Rockefei ler. "Say -fix it up for me," pleaded Mr. Rockefeller. The housekeeper did her best, with the result that Mrs. Rockefel- ler finally consented to have the cherry pie for dessert that evening, and it is a matter of household re- cord -that the "richest man" did it full justice. GREAT GERMAN WAR TAXES. To Be on Capital, Not Income, for Provision of National Fund. Despatches from Berlin give de- tails of the German Emperor's pro- posals to tax private fortunes for the provision of a great fund to be used for the increase' in German ar- maments. The salient figures of the semi-official statement 4ssued o,, the subject are as follows :- Fortunes up to $50,000, $1.25 in every $500. Fortunes of $50,000 to $125,000, $1.60 in every $500. Fortunes of $125,00 to $250,"00, $2.50 in every $500. $2,500,- Fortunes of $250,000 to 000, $5 in every 8500.* Fortunes of $2,50,1.000 to $5,000,- 000 $7.50 in every $500. Fortunes of $5,000,000 to $12,- 500,000, $10 in every $500. • Fortunes of $12,500,000 to $20,- 000,000, $12.50 in every $500. Fortunes of $20,000,000 to $25,- 000,000, $15 in every $500. Fortunes of more than $25,000,- 000, $20 in every $500. To site a concrete example, Ber- tha Krupp Von Bohlen, head of the great Krupp works, will have to pay $1,800,000 as her share of the war tax. When it is rememberec'f-this is not a tax on income, but on capital, and that it strikes every bank ac- count of more 'than $5,000 in the German Empire, it is not hard to see what a vital blow has been struck at German trade expansion. And all Europe will be dragged down with Germany. Every coun- try of Europe will be forced to fol- low the example of Germany in or- nament expansion, with a conse- quent increase of the burden of taxation. The withdrawal of so large an amount of capital from commercial paths means a corresponding re- striction of trade activity and of the power of trade to expand. w, di COMMITTED SUICIDE. BRITISH NAVAL ESTIMATES. Five Battleships, 8 Cruisers, 16 De- stroyers anti Submarines. A despatch from London says: The British naval estimates for 1912-14, which were announced on Thursday, total $231,546,500, as compared with $225,377,000 last year. The new building programme provides for five battleships, eight light cruisers, sixteen torpedo-boat destroyers and a number of sub- marines. The personnel of the navy is to be increased to 146,000 officers and men. There will be under construc- tion on April 1 eleven battleships, three battleship cruisers, thirteen light cruisers, thirty-five torpedo- boat destroyer's and twenty-one submarines. During the yeas now closing four battleships, three bat- tleship cruisers, five light cruisers, fifteen destroyers, and three sub- marines were completed. The general opinion prevails in the House , of Commons that the First Lord of the Admiralty has cut the estimates rather fine, although it is conceded that they will meet the needs of the Government. Both the "bigger navy" and the "little navy" politicians are disappointed. The former declare that the in- crease ought to be at least $15,- 000,000 greater, part of this for new shipbuilding. The latter complain that the increase is out of all pro- portion to the needs of the situation and ignores the recent declaration of the German . Minister of the Navy, Admiral Von Tirpitz, in which he agreed to Mr. 'Winston A.,despatch from Sydney, Au- stealia, says: The foundation stone of the future capital of Australia was' laid on Wednesday by Lord Denman, Governor-General of the Commonwealth. Lady Denman christened the new city Canberra, in the presence of great crowds from"Melbourne Melbourne and Sydney. The Australian Ministers also attend- ed the ceremony of inauguration of what is intended to be a model ca- pital. The city is to be built on a site on which the only buildings now Churchill's rule, enunciated March, 1912, that Great Britain must build warships in the relation of sixteen to ten constructed by Germiny- They also urge that the projection of so large a programme of new shipbuilding means a continuance of German rivalry. It is also point- ed out that at the present moment the shipbuilding resources of the country are so taxed that they do not permit of a larger construction- al programme. A Barber of Goshen, Alberta, Drank Carbolic Acid. A despatch from Prince Albert, says : Thomas Boyce, a barber in Goshen, in the east end section of this city, committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid on Sunday morning. He was 31 years old and came from the Muskoka district. He leaves a widow and children here. No motive is given for the act.

An Increase of $1,800,000 Over That of Last Year. A despatch from London says: The estimated amount which the House of Commons is to be asked to appropriate this vear for the ex- penditure on the British army is $141400;000, against $139,300,000 last year, an increase of $1,800,000.

A despatch from London says: A mob of 10,000, principally men and boys, mobbed the Suffragette speakers in Hyde Park on Sunday. Armed -with trumpets, mouth -or- gans and bells, they prevented the speakers from talking, and when they •descended mobbed them. The trouble began when "Gen- eral" Mrs. Flora Drummond mounted a wagon and started to speak to the great assemblage. For half an hour• the crowds shouted, sang and pelted the Suffragette connhander-in-chief. whose clothes were a mass of mud, At last, Mrs. Drumniond's speech, .of which not a word was audible, came to an end, and a younger woman took her place. She fared no better and the police, realizing the danger the wo- men were in, called upon the chair- man to close the meeting. A large force of police, mounted and afoot, drew in about the Suffragette wag- on, and under this escort the wo- men were led out of the park, fol- lowed by a jeering crowd, which continued to pelt them with mis- siles • over the heads and through the lines of constables. The police endeavored to pilot the women to the tube station, but the crowd brushed them aside and dragged the women up and down the street. In the melee one woman had her eye blackened and all of them had their clothes torn and disheveled. ^d Memoranidum of Goods Recovered Front Titanic Victims' Bodies.
