Washington. Sept. 5. = President
Wilson personally addressed Con-
gress in joint session Friday. urging
legislation to raise 800, 100000 year
additional revenue through internal
taxes to meet treasury deficit
threatened by the conflict In Europe.
The President said
Gentlemen of the Congress: l come
to you today to discharge duty which
wish with all my heart l might have
been spared; but it is duty which is
very clear, and therefore 1 perform 1t
without hesitation or apology. l come
to ask very earnestly that additional
revenue be provided for the govern
ment.
During the month OF August there
was, as compared with the correspond
ing month of last year. falling off of
s1O.629.53S in the revenues collected
from customs. A continuation of this
decrease In the same proportion
throughout the current fiscal year
would probably mean loss of Gus
toms revenues of from $60,O00,O00 to
s1Oo.O0O,000.
War Conditions Blamed.
need not tell you to what this
falling off is due. 1t is due in chief
part not to the reduction recently made
in the customs duty, but to the great
decrease in importations: and that is
due to the extraordinary extent OF the
Industrial area affected by the present
war in Europe.
Conditions have arisen which no
man foresaw; they affect the world
of commerce and economic production
and they must be faced and dealt
with.
1t would be very unwise to postpone
dealing with them. Delay in such
matter. and in the particular circum
stances in which We now find our
selves as a nation. might involve con-
sequences OF the most embarrassing
and most deplorable sort. Tor which l,
for one. would not care to be RESPONSE
ble.
Situation 10 Dangero
1t would be very dangerous in the
present circumstances to create a mo-
ment's doubt as to the strength and
sufficiency of the treasury of the
United States; it's ability to assist, to
steady and sustain the financial oper-
atoms of the country's business.
If the treasury Is known or even
thought to be weak where will be our
peace of mind? The whole industrial
activity. of the country would be
chilled and demoralized. Just now the
peculiarly difficult financial problems
of the moment are being successfully
dealt with, with great self possession
and good sense and very sound judg-
ment; but they are only in process OF
being worked out.
Would Keep Treasury Solid.
II the process of solution is to be
completed. no one must be given rea-
son to doubt the solidity and adequacy
of the treasury of the government
which stands behind the whole meth
cd by which our difficulties are being
met and handled.
The treasury itself could get along
for a considerable period. no doubt,
without immediate resort to new
sources of taxation. But at what cost
to the business of the community
Approximately $4,000, 900. a large part
of the present balance, is now on de

MINOR TERRORS OF WAR;

Hundreds of men from the Salvation
Army missions have answered the call Of
Lord Kitchener for services Loyalty and

bravery of the Salvationists are now
coming back from the front.
One of the wounded served as motor

1t seemed the enemy was getting the bet

the battle went all day. Comrades were
falling all around me. The Germans
were falling in hundreds So thick were
the dead of the enemy that when the
order to advance was given We simply
had to force the motor over heaps Of
bodies. While following the retreating
Germans six of US got lost. For four
days we tramped without anything to
eat or drink. on the third day our
tongues were hanging out from thirst
and two Of the men went mad. It was
on the fourth night that we fell In with
the British ambulance sections, and one
of the first sounds | heard was a wound
ed man in one of the wagons singing:
I'm a child of king,
I'm a child of a king,
With Jesus my saviour.
I'm a child of a king.
Il learned that he was a Salvationist
and later IN the stiffness OF the night !
heard a clear voice in another part o.
the camp singing:
Then we'll roll the old chariot along.
And we won't drag on behind
The song was taken up in other parts
of the camp until it sweled into e chorus
of voices that made the air ring with
the old Salvation Army song"

Concern to British.
LONDON, Sept. %.


The British army officials admittedly
are gravely concerned over the sanitary
situation In the fleld Constantly re-
curing reports which can hardly be
overlooked insist that real Asiatic
cholera is present, not only in Austria
among the wounded in Vienna and
Budapest and among the troops on the
firing line in Gallcia, but that it actually
has developed In certain parts OF Russia.
In addition typhoid and typhus, as we'll
as dysentery. are said TO be raging In
the ranks of some OF the German armies
and navy, French and British soldiers
suffering from milder disease.
As a result of these Developments ex-
traordinary activity is in evidence at all
OF the hospital cases. TO the troops at
the front have been sent enormous guam
titles OF qulcklime, which !s being used
wherever 1t Is necessary to clean up
battlehtlds In the rear of the troops.
In addition, tie most extraordinary pre-
cautions are being taken to insure that
no water used by thc army In the field
la taken from contaminated sources. In
this respect the British army Is much
better off than any of the other forces
In the field.
From the first landing on French soil
the commander of the troops have been
active in safeguarding the water supply.
Whenever the field kitchens are not en-
gagged In supplying food for the men they
have been kept in operation boiling

Is told Of an incident at Scissors where,
after three days incessant fighting,

close OF the third day, by a bayonet
charge, they had gained a height which
covered the German position, but the

they were busy digging entertainments.
II was necessary 10 carry the position
before the digging was finished, If It was
to DC taken at all, so the commanding

dltion OF his troops sent for reinforce
ments, whom he ordered to charge.
The regiment felt humillated at the call
for r"inforcemcrts, and petitioned their
colonel 70 be allowed 10 finish the work
themselves Permission was reluctantly
given, and despite their previous 70 hours

regiment charged up the hill and carried

effort, but their pride had been satisfied.
