A MOTTO.

To those members of Congress
vho have small fancy for voting an
hundred millions Of new taxes in
one breath, and clawing out fifty
millions of pork in the next;
To those who think that rank ex-
travagance ought at least to moder-
ate its demands on the Treasury at
such a time as this;
To all who want to see the finan-
cial posture of the nation and Of the
nations business firmly and eftec-
lively maintained, we offer this
motto:
millions for revenue; not one
cent for pork"

A BIT OF WAR DRAMA.

1t is assuredly a thoroughly up
to-the-minute war, with new touches
Of Bellamyized drama, tragedy, AMI
romance. Ne have been thrilled by
the story Of the Kronprinzessir c.
cilie's round trip of the North At
lantic, the chase and destruction Of
the Kaiser Wilhelm, the horrors Of
hombardment from the skies by
night, the wonders Of a battle in the
air over Paris, the hercism of
Liege's defense, and the sheer aw-
fulness of the bornbardrnent of Ma
nur. There has been the widest
variety of sensations, suited to
whatever taste.
But from the naval battle off Hell
goland comes the premier touch Of
rnodernistic drama. Jules Verne
might have dared il, if he had
thought of it; but the sane man
couldn't possibly have done both. So
there is no use considering the vio-
lation Of the verisimiltude. The
hing happened; it doesn't need to
depend on verisimilitude.
Down toward the end Of the en-
gagement the incident occurred,
which is described by young officer
of the British fleet in a letter to
London. His telling is as good as
the story:

THE PRESIDENTS APPEAL

Everything that President Wilson
said in his appeal to Congress for
more revenue was we'll said and to
the point. He merely did not say
enough.
The plea for more money was
fully justified by the emergency. Tho
demand that it be raised by taxation,
not by a loan or loans, was sound.
Under the conditions which Demo-
cratic tariff policy imposes, there
will be little dissent as to the meth
cd, that is, internal revenue duties.
But at a time like this a word for
economy might we'll have re-en-
forced the word for mere revenue.
Particularly, Mr.. Wilson would have
earned the approval Of tine country
had he intimated, though never so
moderately, disafection with the
river and harbor bill now seemingly
on the point Of being rushed to
passage.
1t needed but a word, a suggcs-
ton, from the President, III this con-
pection to kill that egregious grab.
Before there was war or rumor Of
war, men who had been studying the
inwardness of this piece of legisla-
tion had opened a convincing argu-
ment against that bill. Tie last five
weeks have added an hundredfo,d Of
weight to every argument they ad-
vanced. The grab ought to be killed
without a quaver or a question. The
President would have ended it il he
had even intimated hostility.
Businesses have to economic in a
time like this. Why not govern
ment?
What business is conducted on
more free-and-easy terms than gov
crnment?
What business could reasonably
be expected to save a larger per-
centage of its operating cost, in case
Of stress?
The casual observation of Senator
Aldrich that business methods
should save the Government $780,
G00,000 a year, has Deen banded
about for several years. Nothing
else has been done about 1t save to
converse. An Administration pledged
to strict and effective economy has
come into powcr-and still the ex-
penses go higher.
Surely there is enough Of exigency
in present conditions to justify q
word for economy.
The Times does not agree with the
whole revenue policy of this Admin
istration. But ut this time it re-
fuses to believe that anything will
be gained by turning this revenue
discussion into tariff debate.
There would have been a deficit un-
der the old tariff schedules if the
war had lasted very long. Perhaps
it will prove, that, by swapping reve-
nue. tariff for income taxation We
have stumbled right; the income tax
very possibly will produce a more
stable revenue than would the GUS
toms duties.
But all this is beside the question.
The country Is going to be compelled
to pay more taxes or else to get
government conducted more chcaply.
The biggest, plainest, easiest single
piece of big economy lies in killing
the river and harhor grab.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Mr.. Gardiner Is entirely right in say

minister, Lord North. who had the con-

make war on the colonies because they

words-vile epithets and abuse applied
In support of Mr. Gardeners position
the history of those times impresses us
that that trio of statesmen who. for
learning, statesmenship, eloquence in de-
hate and kenness Of intellect. were
probably unsurpassed. strenuously OPP
posed the war against the colonies.
and in opposition to the war William
Pitt, in the house Of parliament. ade
one of his most eloquent speeches.
These three statesmen. Pitt, Fox. and
to them he turned a deaf ear.
England made a great mistake in
her war against the colonies. her own
blood and kin, but she profited by 1t
in her management of her other out
lying possessions scattered throughout
the world.
Many shafts of irony and abuse had
been aimed at England. but they have
always fallen harmlessly at her feet.
They have never found vulnerable
spot in her armor. In my humble fudg-
ment. she has done more for the civiliz,
Ing and uplifting of the human race
than all other nations combined:
England is to the modern world what
Greece was to the ancients-the eyes
of Europe. In literature, in statesman
ship. in philosophy, in poetry she
stands without a peer. She put down
the great Napoleon, who was at one time
the master of the Continent OF Europe.
But that prodigy-the greatest genius
the world ever produced-failed TO CON
uuer little England. And England. VINO
conquered Napoleon. with the aid or
her allies. will never quit the game
until she conquers Germany and BAN
fishes militarism from Europe.

GERMANY'S OFFICIAL
STATEMENT

On another page today the Star Bulletin
publishes the official statement of Germany on

White Paper, issued about the same time, as
well as the most important portions of Sir Ed
ward Grey's statement in the House of Com

AS BILLY" KENT SEES 1T

Fearless Billy Kent is telling the people
Iof California why he has been backing Presi-
dent Wilson SO consistently. Kent has been
renominated for the house on the Progressive
ticket and on the Democratic ticket his name
was written in very largely. He is now cam
paigning for reelection.
Kent's point of view is particularly interest
ing because it is independent Here are some
of his utterances regarding Congress and his
attitude toward current public questions:
81 have found that the real constructive
work of Congress is essentially non bipartisan.
The lineup In the house is composed of the ul-
tra-conservatives of the old standpat Republi-
can element with the Bourbon Democrats and
the states rights doctrinaires of the South
against an overwhelming majority of men who
realize that legislation must more and more
meet the growing public needs.
One word concerning my backing of the
President and his administration It is the OBJ
yious duty of representative of the people to
work with the maximum of efficiency. Those
elected to high office and those appointed to
such office have in their hands the immediate
destiny of the nation. If they are going in the
right way they should receive the patriotic sup
port of every representative of the people.
Taking things by and large, the present adj
ministration has stood for advance along the
lines of practically every party platform.
Its sole difficulty of moment seems to be
the tariff
1T has been pleasure to perform my duty
and have close association with the President
and his cabinet officers, because of the qualities
of efficiency they have shown.
President Wilson in these latter days GER
tainly brings to mind the sublime patience, per
tinacity and vision of Lincoln. His courage
through all foreign complications, his willing,
ness to serve night and day in delying into the!
details of necessary legislation, while heart
broken by domestic sorrows, shows not only q
of craftsmanship, but a sense Of
responsibility almost unexampled.
4 g It is to be hoped that the people as whole
will realize the tremendous burden upon him,
and that the yapping and nagging Of petty par.
tisanship will cease in these days when, strong
man and patient gentleman that he is, he needs
behind him united country and people too
strong and sensible to play a contemplate game,
of cheap and irrelevant partisanship.o

JAPANESE SHOOTS
TWO; Then BLOWS
SELF TO PIECES

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
FIILO, Sept. Is. ACrazed by jealousy,
Rurasaki, a Japanese residing in the
Kan district, last Sunday shot and
probably fatally wounded two Japan
ese women a mother and her daugh-
ter-at .Honuapo, and then blew him

rasaki, III Is said, was Infatuated with
the young Japanese woman, notwith-
standing the fact tha; she was mar
Eried, ana was persistent in his atten-
tions to her, causing the woman and
her mother considerable trouble.
Every time the young woman ap.
peared out of doors the man was to
be seen watching bis opportunity to
address her. 1t became SO that the
woman was afraid to go out alone
fearing that Kurasaki might do her
harm. She was in deadly fear Of her
life and admitted the fact to her
friends. On several occasions Kurasa-
XII is said to have followed the woman
and to have pressed his attentions on
her, and that on one occasion she
had to call some neighbors to her as
sistance and have the man driven off.
Early last Sunday Afternoon the
young woman and her mother started
from their house to visit some friends.
They had not gone far when they
were accosted by Kurasaki, who ask.
cd the women where they were going.
They refused to answer and went on
their way. The women had hardly
turned their backs when Kurasaki
drew a revolver and fired at the young,
er woman. She felt with bullet
through her body. The man fired two
shots at the mother. both bullets strik.
ing her.
Thinking that he had killed both the
women Kurasaki placed the revolver
TO his own head and the spectators
shut their eyes. However, some crazy
idea must have struck the man as he
did not fire the gun again, but turn.
ing to the people who were in the vi
cinity he pointed the gun at them and
ordered them to. leave the scene of
the tragedy. Walking backward Ku-
rasaki made his way toward the camp
that he lived In and disappeared be.

picked up the two women and saw
that there was still life in them. The
plantation doctor was summoned and
the women were taken to the hospital
as. quickly as possible. They have a
chance of recovery.
