Impossible To Secure The Wal
Tax Stamps In
Time.
ORDER HAS BEEN ISSUED.
No One Will Be Prosecuted
Who Does Not Try To
Dodge The Law.

Thousands of persons in many
cities who spent hours Tuesday
rushing the offices of internal reve-
nue. collectors, alarmed because they
could not obtain war revenue
stamps, were needlessly frightened
over what might happen if they were
not on the minute with their stamp
ing. The internal revenue bureau
in the treasury department, itself
much worried over the task of get
ting the law into smooth W. rking
order, found time late in the day to
send information to collectors, MAX
ing it plain, and orders no prosecu-
ton of persons who are willingly but
unable to buy stamps. Instructions
say:
Date all special tax returns No
vember 80 until you can handle ap-
'plications promptly, unless you have
information that no effort was made
to file same prior to that date. If
unable to supply demands for docu-
mentary stamps for bills of lading,
permit shipments to go forward,
have record kept and affix or cancel
stamps when received. Notify rail-
roads,"
By this notice the commissioners
office expected to relieve situation
which promised to become embar-
RAISING to thousands Of individuals,
and might have brought much con-
fusion to railroads and shippers.
AS an illustration of the vast num-
Der of stamps reported, it was point
ed out that virtually every article in
drug stores is subject to tax. Many
drug stores carry possibly 100000
such taxable articles, and there are
thousands of drug stores throughout
the country.
The bureau made public a ruling
that certificates issued by officers of
state in the interest of the state
are not subject to the tax. Certifi-
Gates issued by an officer of the gov
eminent at the request of private
persons solely for private use must
be stamped.
In this city business is going
ahead as usual with the understand
ing that the stamps will be attached
as soon as they can be secured.

After getting out in the road, one

Kaiser Gar King Of England and King of Belgium All Watch
Soldiers Fight While Pres Of France is on Way to Front
GERMANS BREAK THE RUSSIAN LINES.
By Desperate Fighting Kasers Men Prevent Great Defeat
Which Appeared Imminent ALLIES Advance in
ArgOnne and Near LyS River

London, Dec. 1.-THE battle in
northern Poland is being fought out
under the eyes of the German en-
peror on one side and the Russian
emperor on the other. These two
monarchs left for the front Tuesday
so that virtually the heads of all the
nations at war are with their troops.
The king of England is in France;
the king of Belgium, as usual is
spending all of his time with his
soldiers, while President Poincare of
France started Tuesday for another
visit to the northern battlefield.
Official news from Poland contin-
ues scanty, and, with both head.
quarters claiming successes, it is
impossible to say how the battle is
going. Of its intensity, however,
there can be no doubt.
The Germans, when they started
for Warsaw, dashed full tilt into a
mass OF Russian troops and forced
their way so far in that the Russians
closed on them. This was taken in
Petrograd to mean that some of the
German divisions had been cut off
and that their surrender or annihil; !
ton was inevitable.
Itappears, however. that, fighting
for their very lives and in the knowl-
edge that a great defeat would end
the German offensive and compel
them to fall back on their own from
tiers, the German troops broke
through the Russian lines at one
place and at another in holding their
entertainments against all the Rus
sian attacks. Their fianks are still
being harrassed by the Cossacks, but
seemingly the Russians are not now

Also In Hopkins.

Darlington, KY, Dec. 2.-Reliable
information has just been received,
giving details of another outrage by
"possum hunters" in the southern
part of Hopkins county on Wednes-
day night of last week. A man and
a woman were whipped and other
wise brutally treated near Charleston.
The man is widower with several
small children. The woman has been
cooking and keeping house for the
family. The man enjoys good rep.
utation.
A band of some twenty-five men
went to the mans home the night
before Thanksgiving and knocked
the door down. The man and the
woman were taken out into the night,
were stripped and made to lie down
in the road and there cruelley
whipped; reliable report says they
were cut all to pieces" The report
further says that the man was mu-
tilated with a knife in addition to
being horribly beaten, and he is said
to be in a critical condition at his
home. Both victims are under doc
tors treatment.
Fear seems to tie mems tongues
in that section and no effort is re-
ported for the arrest and punish
ment of the raiders.

in position to gain the sweeping
victory they had anticipated.
The losses, with the desperate
fighting that has been going on for
a fortnight, must necessarily be very
heavy on both sides.
Against the Austro- German forces
in the south the Russians continue
to gain more decisive results. They
now hold all Austrian positions pro-
tecting the Carpathian passes and
are said to have arrived abreast of
Cracow, while their captures for
three weeks lumber $4,000 men.
In the west, although the German
official report says there is nothing
to communicate, the French official
statement notes that lively cannon.

Germans have commenced. or are
about to commence, another attempt
to get through French ports. Ger
tainly there are important changes
in the dispositions of the German
troops.
Military men here take opposing
camps, one side believing the Ger
mans will rest content with holding
their positions until the close of the
battle in Poland, where they need
all the men they can get, while the
other looks for an immediate re-
sumption of the battle in northern
France and Flanders.
The Germans, too, are strongly

gian ports against a renewal of at
tacks by the allied fleet. Fighting
around Ypres was due to the allies
pushing their lines forward.

Princeton, KY, Dec. 2.-The little
village of Cedar Bluff, three miles
east of this city, was visited at an
early hour yesterday morning by an
armed band of men. After cutting
the telephone wires and firing pistols
and shotguns, dynamite was placed
under three cabins belonging to the
KatterjOhn Construction Company.
Two of the cabins were greatly DAM
aged by the explosion. The failure
of the fuse to burn saved the third
cabin.
Before making the attack it is
said the night Waterman at the Kat
terjohn construction works was
captured and the. magazine house
broken into, from which dynamite
was secured. The armed men forced
the night Waterman to stay with
them until they got ready to leave
the scene of action.
The band, according to reports,
carried out their plans without talk
ing, which showed them to be we'll
drilled. The men wore masks and
numbered about forty.

FLOATING FORT RIVADAVlA
 TURNED OVER TO ARGENTINE

BOSTON, Aug. 2S.-With elaborate ceremonies, the great superdread- nought Rivadavia was today formal ly turned over to the Argentine gov ernment in Boston harbor. A thou sand men, brought here by transport from the South American republics, were formally assigned to their posts to man this greatest battleship afloat. The huge floating fort will dock at the Charlestown navy yard for final touching up, the United States Navy department having offered this cour- tesy to her sister republic. Ambas- sador Naon, representative of Ar genuine at Washington, was to come to lead in dedicating the dread rought. The Rivadavia has no su- perior on the seas, in armament, speed, horsepower, tonnage or arm- or. During her speed trials her mon- ster engines forced the great bulk at a speed of 2256 knots an hour. When the war clouds first lowered over Europe and before the rattle of musketry began, several European nations offered handsome price for the Rivadavia, but all were turned down. The Moreno, sister ship of the Rivadavia, is now building at New York, where she will be launch ed probably in September.

WHY NOT RETRENCH?

Congressional leaders, it is an. nounced from Washington, are plan. ming quick action to increase the revenues of the government by the imposition of additional internal rev enue taxes, thus making good the deficit which is caused by the loss of $100,000,000 in revenue through the falling off of imports as result of the European war.
 But the question may be fairly ask ed, is there urgent need of addition al taxes? The war now on is fore ing a considerable entrenchment up- on large share of the American peo- pie, those who have dealt in imported goods and those whose markets abroad for their own products have been closed. Further than this, the outgo of every American family is being increased by the higher prices which have followed as a result of the war.
 luSIcdu Ol ludhluS dIIduSclllculS lO collect more taxes from the American people at a time when their ability to pay taxes is decreased, why should not congress follow the same policy of retrenchment in the expenses of the government which many Ameri- can people are compelled to follow in their private expenditures?
 The appropriations of the present congress are out of all comparison greater than those of any other con- gress which ever sat. There is small probability that congress will adjourn for some considerable time in the fu- ture. If congress desires to meet the situation fairly and do justice to the people, it is not too late to pass other bills cutting out appropriations to an amount sufficient to meet the decrease in revenues, instead of levy ing additional taxes. It is hardly likely that this remedy for the con- dition will be considered by the pres
