WAR TAX MAY
NOT BE LEVIED
ON TOBACCO
Industry Already Given Stagger.
ing Blow by Conflict

Washington. Sept. 1.-Because of
the fact that the market for American
tobacco has been hit "A staggering blow
by the European war. tobacco may not
have to bear any of the burden of the
special war tax which Congress will
levy before 1t adjourns.
This information cropped out at IA
conference of Democratic members Of
the ways and means committee when
framing the special war revenue meas
ure. Although no final results We're
announced the unanimous agreement
of those present was that tobacco
should not be taxed at all, or, If so,
very lightly, because of the fact that
the tobacco production of six states
had been disastrously affected by the
cutting off of the foreign markets
which formerly consumed large quanti-
ties of American tobacco.
Against Larger Whisky Tax.
The sentiment among the members
Oh tne conlillttce dlSo was dS"inSt an
increase of tax on whisky, which now
pays IA tax of $l.1O "A gallon, although
whisky can be manufactured for 20
cents a gallon. The view of the mem
bers was that To increase the tax would
increase the number of Illicit stills and
will result also in gross adulteration.
The committee did not reach agree
ment on any specific schemes Of taxa
cussed. and there was "A general under
standing that the tax on beer will he
increased at least 80 cents and possibly
n dollar "A barrel. A dollar a barrel
on beer would yield, on a basis of past
s65. 100000 a year.

BELIEVES ITALY
WILL REM ain
NEUTRAL IN WAR
German Ambassador Resents Use
of Black and Yellow Races

New York, Sept. 1.-Commenting on
dispatches which said that bombs had
been dropped in Paris from Ger
man aeroplane, Count Won Bernstorff
German ambassador to the United
States said the people oS Paris should
not expect anything else, as Paris is
Il fortified city.
"All fortified cities will be stormed." ."
he said. The bombs, he thought, had
probably been directed at fortihcations.
The ambassador expressed the opin-
ion that Italy would not be drawn into
the European conflict, even if Turkey
should go to war as an ally of Ger
many.
Il do not believe Italy will go to
war;" he said THE Italian premier
only n day or two ago announced It.
aly's neutrality"
Resents Use Of Asiatics.
Discussing the advent of Indian, Af-
rlcan and Japanese troops in the field
against Germany, Count Won Bern
storff said that the German nation
greatly resented being called upon to
fight these black and yellow races.
while | do not resent, personally,
any criticism we have been receiving
as we have nothing to excuse or to con-
ceal," he said, Il do resent any attack
on the fair name of the German army
when the flower of the German nation
has to fight with Africans, East In
dams, and other men of the Asiatic
races"
Count Won Bernstorff was laying
special stress, he said, on the French
African colonists, who has been called
into the war. and also on the report
that England would call her Indian
troops into the field. Germany resents
this more than the entrance Of Japan
into the conflict, he said.

Fighting Today Is Thought to Be

Fortified LaFere
BRITISH REAR ATTACK
Troops From OStend Believed to
Be AssaiIing Germans; Gen.
sorship Tightens

The absence of news concerning the
progress of the European war is today
most marked. No official statements
we're issued in London. Paris or Ber-
lin. The veil of secrecy was tighter
today than at any time in the last
thirty days.
There is evidence OF a concerted eff
fort on the part of the English and
French authorities to keep the world
at large in absolute ignorance OF what
Is transpirins in northern France, and
such news as comes to hand is frae-
mentary, unsubstantated and without
real significance.
A somewhat similar silence was OBJ
served during the fighting around
Mons, cambrai and leeattau last
week.
An official report last night said the
French left, owing to the progress of
the German right wing, had been fore
cd to make new retirement" Ex-
planning this, the French embassy in
London today said the anglo French
army corps had to give ground, but no
where have they been broken through"
The fighting today, in which the al
lies were believed to be opposing the
German advance, is thought to be CEN
tered around la Fere, a strongly fort-
fled position rs miles northeast of
Paris. The fate of the French capital
may hang on the outcome OF these op-
erations.
A news dispatch from Diephe says a
great battle has been fought at croi.
stiles and is probably still in progress.

Reports from Roumania say the
Russians inflicted a crushing defeat
on the Austrians in Galieia, the Aus
trians losing 10000.
A st. Petersburg, Russia, dispatch
makes similar claim, saying the Aus
