LIEUT. GALLERY TELLS ABOUT SOME POLICE
METHODS THAT AREN'T HeTHIRD DEGREE"

In writing a letter to The Day
Book in defense of the police, Lieut..
M. ]. Gallery, in command at Rogers
Park station, has written a corking
good story. Here it is:

the third degree" Men who know
ingly make false arrests, who falsely
imprison men and who practice the
so-called third degree" should not
be on the force. That is, if the third
degree is more than a severe ques-
tioning and cross-questioning of a
man believed to be guilty of serious
offense against society.
There are thousands of men on the
Chicago police force who have never
used the so-called third degree" in
their life. In fact, there are not

The Paper strateaists.

While the war lasts mathematical
warriors will balance corps against
corps and ship against ship in the
newspaper columns, but in real war
all the paper strategy counts for moth
ing. That poor little Prussia, In 1855,
could not possibly make head against
Austria, France, Russia, Sweden and
Saxony was as demonstrable on paper
as that two and two. make four. But
the Seven Years war was decided by
factor quite outside the range of
mathematics-namely, by Frederick,
with a vial of corrosive sublimate in
his pocket, and in his heart black
determination to fight while he had
a regiment left, and then commit sui
eide. Revolutionary France had no
show on paper, but in fact overran all
Europe. In recent times our brush
with Spain is the only war that has
shown the least respect for the pro-
grams laid down for it in advance. If
the Spanish army In Cuba had been
capably led and really determined to
fight the ending would have been the
same, but the story would have been
different. If war could be determined
on paper there would be no war, for
a nation fights only when it has some
hope of winning. Saturday Evening

Reduction of Gasoline Tax
Agreed on by Committee

Washington, d. C.--Reduction of
the proposed tax on gasoline in the
war revenue bill from 2 cents to / cent
a gallon and the imposition Of tax Of
so cents per horsepower on automobile
sales, were agreed to by Democrats Of
the senate finance committee.
The committee did not reach the
bank tax in its deliberations but will
have before it soon subcommittee
recommendation that the proposed tax
of So thousand on bank capital and
surplus be eliminated and that there
be substituted stamp tax on checks,
drafts, certificates Of deposit and other
negotiable paper.
The tax on checks, drafts, etc.,
would be 2 cents and on certificates Of
deposit, ETC., 2 cents for each 500.
From this it issestimated the revenue
would be about $40, 900, 900 a year.
1t was also agreed to retain the pro-
posed increased tax Of 80 cents bar
rel on beer in the house bill, with the
understanding, however, that further
increase of 25 might be made should
the committee find it necessary to
raise more revenue after It has COM
pleted consideration of all sections Of
the bill.
The proposed tax of 20 cents gal
lon on sweet domestic wines and IL
cents on dry wines, the committee
agreed to revise, retaining the house
rate on sweet wines but reducing the
dry wine tax to cents. This was on
recommendation of the Treasury de-
partment.
The committee action with reference
to gasoline and automobiles occasioned
considerable surprise, as the general
expectation had been that an automo-
bile tax would be substituted for the
gasoline tax. The one cent on gasoline
will bring revenue amounting to $10,-
900, 900. The proposed 80 cents per
horsepower on automobile sales will
not affect persons owning automobiles,
but will be levied only on sales. There
is a provision, however, that whenever
manufacturer already has contracted
to sell automobiles at certain price
the tax shall be paid by the jobber or
dealer.
The stamp tax, including the in
surance taxes, tobacco dealers tax and
other features of the bill, will be con-
sidered next.

Real "one.Hoss shay

The original "one-hoss shay is now
at the Berkshire museum OF natural
history and art. This shay was fea-
tured in poem. The old chaise was
presented to the museum by Francis
w. Rockwell, who owned 1t for many
years. 1t was formerly owned by the
late Amasa Rice of Pittsfield and his
son, Robert A. Rice, has told Mr..
Rockwell Of Oliver Wendell Holmes
frequent visits to examine the old
chaise during his residence In Pitts
field, 184S-1886, and 1t is believed that
this is how Mr.. Holmes gained his in
spiration for his famous poem, "The
One-Hoss Shay" Mr.. Rockwell writes
that this chaise is over 100 years old.
1t was formerly the property Of Sam
uel Mckay, one Of Plttsfield's first
citizens In his day, 1793-1834.- In the
inventory Of his estate one item was
"One gig and harness, $780,"

forms of transit, for record shows

ENGLAND'S ARMY
NEEDS BLANKETS
Supplies in Hands Of Manufac-
turers Are Exhausted.
Million and a Half Needed to Pre-
Uent Pnemonia- Housewives
Strip Beds to Help.

London-Colder weather throughout
the training camps in England and in
the war zone on the continent has
emphasized the shortage of blankets
and overcoats which the English army
is facing.
Advertisements Of the War office
frankly announcing it has exhausted
the supply of blankets in the hands Of
manufacturers and wholesalers and
asking retailers to submit bids appear
in many Of the London papers. With
about half million men now in serv.
ice, and the prospect that the number
will shortly be doubled, the blanket
supply is serious problem.
Great Britain is busy collecting
blankets for Lord Kitchener's new
army, and patriotic housewives are
not only stripping &heir own beds, but
importuning their friends. As blan-
kets are not long-lived and their places
must be filled by new ones, this form
of tribute is considered about as heavy
as the equivalent in cash. In ALL a
million and half pairs Of blankets
must be had.
As the climate where the English
are now fighting in France and in por-
tions Of Germany in which English
men may be engaged is much more
severe than the moist winter Of Eng
land, there is some apprehension as
to the effect colder weather will have
on the British forces and much discus
sion as to the most effective way to
guard the soldiers in the trenches
against severe weather.
The outfitting of so many men in 80
short a time has overtaxed the machin-
cry of the War office. An outbreak
Of pneumonia is feared unless blankets
arrive in plenty.

prominent jobbers predict that the
market will not movs In either direc-
tion for at least month. The public
purse is not favorable, it is asserted,
to any fancy prices at this time, and
80 greater caution is being observed in
increasing the cost Of the staple.
Dealers declare frankly that the people
will not pay any more for butter than
they are doing at present.
Excessive insurance and exchange
rates, it is expected, will bar New
England imports as long as the war
continues, and the end of the conflict
Is now so remote that jobbers have
practically abandoned any hope of
bringing in the foreign product. There
