ADDITIONAL H0UGHTON
THOUSAND MEMBERS IS THE
GOAL. OF COMMERCIAL CLUB
SECRETARY PRICE TO MAKE EFF.
FORT TO SEE EVERY BuSl-
NESS IN COUNTY.

In It's effort TO increase the MEM
bership To 1000, Secretary George l..
Price of the Copper Country CONNER
cial club today began campaign
that will take him into every business
house of the district. 1t is his inten-
ton To go before every businessman
and ask him to join the club. Because
of the character of the organization,
it's directors feel that the request will
be sufficient to obtain a membership,
and little difficulty i'm enrolling the adj
ditional members is anticipated.
Numerous instances have been
brought to the attention of the club
wherein businessmen have not applied
for membership because no one had
requested them to join. The club feels
that this attitude is wrong because the
organization was designed to include
every businessman of the copper dis
trict. Furthermore the club was "A
spontaneous organization, the first at
tempt of merchants to make con-
certed effort to promote the CONNER
cial welfare of the community, and
club members feel that the mere an
nouncement of the organization should
constitute an invitation to join.
Secretary Price yesterday received
letter which he characterizes as an
exhibition of nerve. 1t was request
of a mail order house for the names
of copper country farmers. AS the
commercial clubs primary reason for
existence is to promote business i'm
this district, and to combat the mail
order evil. the letter was ignored.

ant Features.

The semi monthly. meeting of the
Hancock city council will be held this
evening when matters of Importance
are scheduled 70 come UP.
The recent action in regard to the
attempt to eliminate the yearly ex-
pense incurred through maintaining
pump station No. ,. probably will be
discussed This matter has attracted
considerable attention and is an inn
portant step in the cit's plan of econ
omy. Should everything be completed
for this change of pumping, the city
treasury will be saved great expense
in years To come and the citizens will
benefit by the transaction.
In former years the water has been
pumped from station No on the lake
front u No. 2 and thence to the city
reservoir The abolshins of No. will
save ne expense and ii is thought 1t
will ~ an easy matter to force the

This Highly Abstemious War.

It is part Of the modern theory OF efficient war
fare that alcohol is all but eliminated from the
armies in the field. The Gar has gone further
than any other ruler possibly because conditions in
Russia are worse than elsewhere The sale Of
liquor has been stopped throughout the empire.
Not only that but one Of the first acts Of che
Russians in East Prussia was TO close the drink
ing places This showed the lesson learned from
the observation Of vodka drinking, even If it was
rather rough on temperate, beer-consuming COM
muniy.
According to some reports, the British soldier
in the field is getting a daily allowance Of rum
with his tea. But this idea hardly agrees With
Kitchener's declaration that no gifts Of liquor
likely that the teetota idea prevails in the Brit
ish expedition, for the rigorous efficiency OF the
Kitchener scheme Of things hardly admits Of gros
There is no alcohol included I'm the French
scheme OF rations. Yet it is not unlikely that an
occasional bottle Of wine has found its way into
camp, with its mild refreshment, 1t is the cham
payne district Of France through which the seyereSt
lighting has ragged. Thousands Of bottles precious
to Broadway lie stored in the district about Rheims
the old province Of Champagne, and if all have
come through unscathed 1t will he a new record il
campaigning. The essential character of the soldier
Ing, however, is unquestionablc Thanks TO the
terrific demand for machinekc efficiency, the mod
crn soldier in the field approaches a Sunday school
standard Of conduct lie is a long, long way from
the happy-go-lucby days when Captain Falstatl
hailed his Corporal Bardolph as the Knight of the
Burning Lamp by reason Of his rudy bcak.

Additional Revenue at Once.

President Wilson is entirely right in opposing
the plan Of the Democrats in Congress to raise an
emergency revenue by increasing the income tax.
Additional revenue could not be obtained by this
device until July next year 1t is needed now
and might not be needed at all by the time when
it became available. The minimum income on
which a tax is levied should be reduced, as was
proposed, but as a means Of meeting an e1igency
that exists now Il tax that would produce no re-
suits for ten months would be grotesquc.
The committee which has charge Of providing
additional revenue has its course clearly marked
out for it by the previous experience Of the coun
try with war taxes The unwilngncss to in
crease the rates on whiskey and tobacco, while
advancing those on wines and beer is sectional
in spirit Mr.. Wilson should take It in hand for
correction A period Of emergency such as exists
is no time for showing fayors TO the South at the
expense Of the North. There IS. moreover, an OBJ
vious source Of easily collected revenue: a tax
on checks and similar instruments. The admins
traiion should not pass this by for other sources
Of revenue not so ready or 50 promptly available.

THAT BREMERHAVEN EXPLOIT
British Submarine Might Have Been in
the Weser, but Not in the Basins.
e Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue of the Sth inst.
there appears an article by your special
correspondent, ". Forester, telling of
the heroic deed of an English subma-
rinc in entering the German harbor of
Bremerhayen. | greatly admire Mr..
Forrester's genius and ability TO write
such wonderful fiction, but unhappily
your correspondent is not very familiar
with the scene Of his story-Bremor-
haven. AS | happened to be born in
this town, will gladly enlighten Mr..
Forester on his subject. The story
says: "The submarine actually penc-
trated into the harbor of Bremen
haven"
Now. it happens to be that the har-
Dor of this town is an artificial, dug
out basin and can be entered only
through one big lock. This gate, on ac-
count of the very low ebb i'll these
parts OF Germany, is only opened at
high tide, and then just long enough
TO let ships pass in or out. Therefore,
the question arises: How did Mr.. For
rested manage to smuggle his subma-
rine into the harbor? The story con
tinues: "As soon as he considered 1T
WAS safe the commander gave the order
to proceed out of the German harbor."
According to this tale, the polite Ger
man harbor authorities must have
opened the sluice u second time for
their English visitors. leave it to
your readers to draw their own conclu-
sions. HENRY WOEBCKE.

lesson Of Liege, Namur and Maubeuge In plain
view the French General STAT will now haralS
think Of defending Verdun except as base Oh
action against the enemy. Similarly the Austro'
Hurgarlaus would be foolish to imprison large
garrison In Przemysl or the Germans to let their
forces be contained in the fortrcsses along the Wis
tula-Graudenz and Thorn. An exception must be
made Of fortresses with sea outlet like konigs'
berg, Dantzic and Antwerp. Their garrsons IN
extremity could escape in transports. so long as
the water routes behind them were in friendly
hands But a fortress really isolated has now
adays less chance of survival than 1t ever had
before.
Maubeuge was sacrifice, perhaps to the safe
retreat Of the allies out of Belgium On any
other theory its defence was unjusthed. Its fall
however, is a reverse which belongs to the first
period of the war and which cannot affect mate

Bedford enlisted the services OF Lieu
tenant William Kennel, who was al
ways in attendance on Mayor Gaynor

plc, assisted by the Rev. Frank Page,

nor and Mr.. Bedford was rumOred IN
January, but WAS denied. 1t was an
uounced about the middle of February:
Miss Gayuor's sister, Edith, eloped
with Harry X. Vingut in June, 1910;
her sister, Gertrude, eloped with W.
Seward Webb, jr., in May, 1911, and
her sister Marion was married to
Ralph Haywood Isham in January last.
The other Gaynor children are Rufus
ana Ruth, the youngest daughter.
Mr.. Bedford is the son of +. II. Bed
ford, treasurer of the Corn Products
Refining Company, and grandson Of
