New York, Aug. S.-A report was
received today that Archer M. Hunt
ington, president of the American Geo
graphic Society, and his wife, had
been arrested in Nuremburg, Bavaria
and are being held prisoners as spies.
The report stated that Huntington was
stripped naked by his captors ard
brutally beaten, while his wife was
maltreated and subjected to indigni-
ties. The news came via Switzerland
from the chauffeur of the Hunting
tons, who escaped when the pair Were
captul ed. 1t is understood the state
department is working through Am
bassador Herrick in Paris in an eff
fort tc learn the details of the affair
and bring about the release of the

INTERNAL TAX MAY
BECOME NECESSITY

New York, Aug. 8.-Confronted
with a deficit of $100,OO0,0O0 in du-
ties because of the cessation of inn
rort usiness due to the general Eu-
ropean war, the people Of the United
States probably will have to make ur
this loss to the United States gov
ernment by the payment of internal
revenues taxes.
An official of the customs house
said today:
at is probable that there will be a
tax Of 5 cents a pound on tea, 8 cents
q pound on coffee and stamp taxes
en- mortgages and other fnancia! doc
lments similar to those effective dur
ing the war with Spain.
"The coffee tax would yield about
$2S,OOO,OO0 if the approximately 9OO,.
100000 pounds of coffee we import
annually is made to pay a tax of 3
cents {. pound. We import about no.
100000 pounds of tea annually and
this at 5 cents pound would yield
an income to the government of about
$4,000, 200. That would leave about
0,000,000 a year to be made up by

EUROPE MUST OPEN HARBORS

Washington, Aug. 8.-American
crops can and must move to Europe.
That was the view expressed today
by Secretary Redfield of the depart
ment of commerce after conference
with Secretary Bryan.
"The last thing we need worry
about" said Mr. Redfield, with en-
rhasiS, "is getting our crops abroad.
Europe must have our wheat OF
starve. Will she starve or will she
provide means of transportation It's
up to the other fellow to provide
ships. Grain may be tied up for a
few weeks, but not permanently; just
as soon as the question of supremacy
on the seas is settled commerce will
be resumed. Have you noticed the
policy of Great Britain and France as
reflected in their naval orders? 1t
is to obtain control of the sea at once.
"If England sweeps the seas all
English merchant ships will resume
their transportation of our crops. Ii
Germany is successful her ships will
carry the grain"

What Is Europe Doing
Behind the Great Screen?

ing TO the Belgians, Germany will
continue to mass her troops there
for what may yet prove to be the
greatest battle in human history.
1t is the belief here that Germany
will for some time yet give her main
thought to this struggle, letting the
war in Russia take second place, as
weeks will be required to bring the
Russian troops in great mass against
her enemies, owing to the poor trans
rortation facilities.
The arrival of French troops today
to join the Belgians is not taken as
giving tie advantage, fer there is no
doubt that Germany is massing her
troops fully as rapidly as France, only
the lLield prevents the world from
seeing this.
The thought that Germany is any
where near beaten by the compara-
lively light fighting that has taken
place is not entertained by any mill
tary or naval authority.
Germany may be taking the posi-
ton more of the nation with its back
tc the wall, but when Germany gets
in that position she is expected TO
fight like demon, and it is an open
question whether combined Europe
can crush her.
Under those circumstances the fight
for the fatherland will be real, not
fiction, and even in spite of the great
engines of slaughter of modern times
the war will not be ended in a day
on that basis.

Washington, Aug. 8.-Plans for the
funeral of Mrs. Wilson were complet-
ed today. The delay in the arrival of
Professor Stockton AXson, brother Of
Mrs. Wilson, alone caused change
in the program. The services will be
held in the east room of the White
House at 2 p. m. Monday and burial
will be at Rome, Ga.
Vice President Marshall today ap-
pointed committee to represent the
senate at the funeral. 1t consists of
the vice president as chairman and
the senior senator of each state The
following resolution was adopted:
"That the senate is deeply sensible
of the grief which overspreads the ma
ton following the death at the White
House of one who so rarely exempli-
fled the highest qualities of the Amer
lean wife, mother and woman, and We
hereby extend to the president and his
family our heartfelt sympathy in this
hour of their affliction."
Secretary Tumulty today made the
announcement that the family expect
ed, in addition to the committee of
the senate and house, and the men,
lers cf the cabinet, only kinsmen, rel
atives and few of the closest per-
sonal friends of Mrs. Wilson and the
president to attend the services in
Washington, it being their desire TO
observe the utmost simplicity.
Only the family and few intimate
friends will accompany the body to
Georgia.
The officiating clergymen at the
White House will be Rev. James H.
Taylor of the Central Presbyterian
church, Washington, and Rev. Sylves-
ter w. Beach of Princeton Presby-

not yet been selected.
