Agree On Special Taxes

Washington, Sept. 15.-Abandoning
the proposed tax on freight transpor-
tation, the democrats of the house in
caucus today agreed to a war evenu
measure which will include the Span
ish "a stamp tax on commercial and
legal papers, the Spanish war taxes
On bankers, brokers, theaters, and
other amusement places, a tax of two
cents a gallon on gasoline, a special
tax on tobacco manufacturers and
dealers in domestic wines and beer.
The caucus adopted a resolution
directing the ways and means COM
mittee to draft a bill along these
lines, President Wilson having ap-
proved the plan at a conference with
Majority Leader Underwood and Sen
ator Simmons late today. The COM
mittee also was given authority to
revise the details of the Spanish wal
tax at its discretion.

painted on both sides. This was in

AUTOMOBILES IN WAR

While the various accounts of the
fighting in Europe, scattered and frag-
mentary as most of them are, slowly
shape themselves into something like
a general view of what has taken
place, certain important military les
sons begin to define themselves.
There a be no doubt, says a writer
in the New York Sun. that the item
OF mobility has played a very signiti-
cant part in the successes of the Ger
mans. The ingenious employment of
the automobile as a means of trans
p%crtation has enormously widened the
possibilities of movement.
But the German students of mill
tary operations, with their customary
farsightedness. did not stop with a
recognition of the value of the motor
vehicle as a means of increasing eel

judgment its S as a weight carry
ing machine. They saw that power.

President Will Not Interfere

Washington. Sept. 1~6.-Formal no.
tice was given to the world today by
President Wilson that the United
States, at this time, cannot pass
judgment upon or take any part in
controversies between the warning
European nations w alleged viola
tons of the rules of civilized warfare
and humanity. He said settlement of
these questions would have to wait
until the end of the war, which he
prayed might be very soon.
The president announced the posi-
ton OF the American government, first
in an address to the commission sent
to him by the king of Belgium to pro-
test against atrocities committed by
the German army. Later he sent a
cablegram along similar lines to the
emperor Of Germany, replying to the
latter's recent protest that the allies
were using dunn dunn bullets.

Sand Cures Stomach Trouble

Muncie, Ind, Sept. 16.-After eat
ing sand for NOR than a year to cure
stomach disorders, former Congress-
man George w. Cromer, John w.
Fit:gibbon, once assistant state fac
tory inspector, and Harry w. Long,
an attorney, say they have been cured
completely. They say the sand never
failed to relieve them whenever they
had an attack.
"Should any trouble return" said
Fitzgibbon, 81 should Immediately
return to the sand diet. Many peo-
pie who have written to us have fail
ed to grasp the idea.
The sand is not eaten as food, but
to aid in digestion. 1t is especially
valuable when m~astication is poor,
the sand serving to grind up the food.
Chickens, turkeys and ostriches eat
sand for the same purpose"

GERMANS WILL RALLY
R%etreating Forces Will Soon Occupy
Fortified Positions

London, Sept. 15.-The battle Of
the Marine has about come to an end,
and, although the allied armies are
keeping in touch with the retreating
Germans, it is evident the latter are
taking up positions to stay the north
ward advance Of the British and
French.
Although the Germans have been
badly punished in their long retreat,
and have lost many guns and men,
they maintain cohesion, and unless
the French succeed in their attempt
to get between the army of the crown
prince and those operating to the
west of him, Emperor Williams
forces will present a solid front when
the time Ome for another clash
which will be fully as important as
the recent battle.
II the Germans "a gain the new
position, it offers better opportuni-
ties for defense than the ground that
they have passed over in the last ten
days. Their right apparently extends
as far west as Quentin, through a
country intersected by rivers and
streams that will embarrass the at.

they prepared to utilize it. The result
has been that in the present conflict
the Germans have appeared in the
field armed with a larger mount of
artillery than their opponents. But
it is not only in quantity, but in
weight and power that the German
preponderance has made itself evil
dent. The huge siege guns which the
kaiser's armies are dragging into the
heart of France r far larger than
any artillery eve before een away
from the stationary carriage of forts.
What military experts will now
have to consider is in just what meas
ure the combination Of swift move
ment and power to carry weight
brought into war by the motor is go
ing to modify all methods of fighting.
At present it looks as if the old sys-
TEN of infantry advance supported by
artillery might be supplanted by ar
tillery advance supported by infantry.
Can big guns be moved more quickly
than foot soldiers and proved to be
more effective? That is a new ques-
ton, and it may already have been
answered.

Against Government Steamships

Washington, Sept. 15.-Declaring
that the establishment OF government
owned steamship lines is a direct at
tack On invested capital and would
mean the ultimate destruction of
steamship lines which the ingenuity
and wisdom of a deserving class of
citizens have built up and maintained
in the carrying Of trade of the Unit
ed States, V members of the COM
mittee on the merchant marine intro
duced in the house today a minority
report on the merchant marine bill
which was framed to meet conditions
arising out OF the European war.
Possibly the most dangerous effect
of the measure, the report declares
would be the result its enactment
might have on the position of neu-
trality on the part Of the United
States in the war.
The bill, continues the report, would
if it became a law, stihe all CONNER
cial enterprise and turn over to the
government itself. the power to create
a merchant marine. which power
could. it is asserted, be extended and
enlarged so long as money remained
in the treasury and as much longer as
congress should provide taxation to
replenish the treasury.

Producing Too Much Oil

Oklahoma City, Sept. Ex-Governor
Les Cruce today rejected as too dras-
tic the suggestion of an oil produc-
ers' delegation that he use the mill
tia to curtail the production of oil in
Oklahoma. He promised, however,
to use his influence to stop the bring
ing in of new wells.
Representatives of the oil produc-
ers, in urging state action upon the
governor, asserted that pipe line
companies had prepared to store mil
lions of gallons of oil when the price
went low enough.
The hearing before George A. Hen

er, on a petition by Attorney General
West for an order prohibiting produc-

cents a barrel, was continued until
September %. Other petitions for the

that date.

British Food For Germany

London, Sept. 16.-According to the

pool and other ports make it certain
that foodstuffs and raw material are
still being shipped, even from British
ports, for the use of the Germans.
Shipments made from Liverpool last
month of canned goods, feeding cakes,
flour and cotton seed oil were osten-
sibly bound for Holland, by compari-

it more than probable that they have
