HEAR OF COFFEE-TEA TAX PLAN.
Merchants Here Think Duty Vow
Would Br Unjust.

Traders In coffee and tea were inter-
ested Yesterday In n rumor fom Wash
ington that Congress would he asked 10
amend the Underwood tarin law to i'm
pose a customs tax on both coffee and
tea. II was said that a Well known mem
Der Of the Coffee Exchange and the head
of one ot the largest tea importing houses
in the United States had been asked 70
go 10 Washington for a conference with
officials Of the Covenant. Each Of the
men whose names were mentioned In
connection with the rumor denied last
night that he had been called to Wash
ington
The reason assigned for n possibility ~
an import duty on coffee and tea was
that the losses in customs revenues by
reason OF the war in Europe would run
up into the millions and might seriously
affect the income OF the Government be
fore many months.
There has never been a duty on tea
imported into this country and coffee
has been admitted free almost from the
beginning. While some tea Is produced
in South Carolina the quantity is So small
as compared with the consumption that
not even tho growers thems"lvcs have
made any particular effort toward seek
ing protection when the Underwood tariff
messure was In the making
Coffee and tea merchants. when seen
here last night. were unanimous in OK
pressing the opinion that II any SUCH
duty was imposed It would be in the ma
ture OF a war tax" entirely unjust and
inequtable and would have the effect
OF putting large sums OF money into the
pockets OF a few men AZ the expense
Of the country at large.

Retail prices OF meats and other staple

not been materially affected by the war
Apparently there is enough OF every

doubtedly be increases on certain i'm

During the past ten days the retain
price OF meat In Washington Market has
gone up about two cents. The best cut
Of sirloin Is - cents a pound Porter

Most of the American companies opcr-
ating in these countries have their head
quarters In Paris At the present time.
OF course. there Is no communication be-
tween Berlin and Paris. and probably
none between ST. Petersburg and Paris
Al the same time the contract OBLIGATIONS
OF the companies must DC currently car

even Of England. Will temporarily have u
be treated az though II were a separate
and distinct company. Representative
OF the companies IN charge within each
country will undoubtedly be given author
lily to sign for the companies whatever

1T should he remembered that In each
Of these countries oxceut England there
a deposit OF lllulI Ff'uIl lltSs mostly
the bonds of their own Governments equal
TO the mathematical reserve Of the com
panies. The local management in case
OF necessity could sell these securities for
current needs. but that contingency seems
TO be remote because the bankers OF the
companies In each country in case the
current income should not be sufficient tc
meet the current obligations will un-
doubtedly extend whatever credit the
companies may need.
I'm the matter OF mortality the com
parles have no fear Business has beer
done in Europe for long time In the ex
pectation that something like this might
happen. The companies are protected ny

Support Of Russia as "Race

Dr Ernst Richard. president Of the
German American Peace Society and
founder Of the New York Peace Society,
deplored the attitude of the American
press yesterday. accusing the newspapers
Of taking sides against Germany Dr.
Richard contended that the Kaiser had
been driven into the war
The newspapers are decidedly against
Germany IN this trouble The German
American population OF New York feels
that the entire press Is against Germany.
There are editorials against the Germans.
a German defeat Is printed In big head
lines \ German victory is printed In
little letters"
pr. Richard said that the opinion ~
Germans regarding the outcome OF the war
was that France would pay the bill NJ
matter what Germany might suffer at tho
hands OF Russia or England. Earlier IN
the day Dr. Richard gave gu. an interview
TO the EUertno Mol. in which he charac-
torzed the American press taking sides
against the Kaiser as race treachery.
Just az II will be race treachery for the
English to fight against Germany and
with Russia"
The clash IN Europe was not started
by tn. Austria -Servia embodiment" said
Dr. Richard. Something much deeper
began It. AID It Is from that deeper cause
that the Kaiser and the German people
must be Judged In the present war. The
deeper and the real cause Of the war Is
Shalt Europe be ruled by Asiatics or by
Europeans--by Slsvs or by Teutons?
