Whatever may De said of any blum
ders made BY any OF the military or
naval authorities during the present war,
none of them can be much more short
sighted than the action Of congress in
passing schedule of war revepue taxes,
TO 90 into effect AZ such an early date
that the necessary stamps can not be
made. Collector Wood At Portsmouth
sold out his entire stock OF stamps be-
fore the close Of the first day OF July,
and since that time the applications for
stamps have been coming in great deal
faster than the stamps have come. Man
ufacturers of patent medicine can not
ill their orders, and are suspending
business and bowling for stamps
which they can't get. The government
is making stamps as fast as possible, but
this is big country, and can't be sup
piled with stamps in a week. Talk about
rushing troops into war before they are
ready, What about congress rushing
into stamp act before the stamps can
be made:

been made thus far in modern naval
warfare Their total results were l2
ships sunk and one ship damaged. Six
assailant boats were lost
