MERCHANTS HERE
WRESTLING With
STAMP SHORTAGE
FAILED TO RECEIVE STAMPS-IN
QUANDARY WHAT TO Do
ABOUT MATTER.

Americas business men-many Of
them-are in a quandary today re-
garding the war tax proposition, due
to the fact that they have no revenue
stamps and cannot obtain a supply, a
fact due, no doubt, to the rush of Or
ders in the office of Internal Revenue
Collector Blalock, in Atlanta, the
source of stamp supply. Everyone
here has ordered stamps, but have not
received them.
Among the everyday things that
will be taxed are the following:
Every express package must bear
a one-cent stamp.
Telephone calls costing as much as
Is cents will pay one cent as tax.
A life-insurance policy will pay one
half cent for each dollar of the pre-
MUM. This, perhaps must come out
of the agents pocket.
Each 100 sticks of chewing gum will
pay four cents as tax.
Proprietors of theaters, bowling al
leys and other places of amusement
liquor and cigar dealers, sellers OF
perfumes and similar luxuries pay SO
much for each $1,000. Most of these
last named costs will be absorbed by
the corporation or company.
Every Pullman car ticket must pay
one cent tax.
Stamps must be placed on all bills
of lading issued by a shipper. The
stamp must be placed on the original
bill of lading by the shipper and shall
be Cancelled by him, by signing his in
itials by hand or by stamp before de-
livery to the carrier. 1t is the duty o.
the railroad to see that these in.
structions are carried out, and this
alone is their responsibility.
Shippers who are in the habit of de-
livering to the railroads only the mem
orandum and shipping order mus
cease this practice, since the STAMP
cannot be placed on the shipping or.

100000 GERMANS IN
ARMS
Fifty Army Corps Fighting Against
Allies in Belgium and France.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The official Nord-
deutche Allgemiene Zeitung publishes
list of army corps and military sec
tons which shows the strength of the
German armies now in the field. AL
together, apart from the railway SER
vice. the marines and the garrisons in
Belgium, there are army corps
Forty thousand men may be taken
as fair average for Germany army
corps, this gives total of nearly four
million men in arms. J
According to a French army bulle-
tin, so army corps are fighting against
the allies in Belgium and France. This
would leave As army corps for the cas-
tern theatre. In short, Germany has
more than 100000 men in the west,
and about the same number, if the To-
cal landstrum is included, in East
Prussia and Poland.

GERMANS RETIRE
BEFORE D|XMUDE
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Dec. IA Central News
agency correspondent telegraphing
from Amsterdam early today, says a
general retirement has been begun
by the German force before DiXmude.
This information confirms the state
ment of a captured German officer
here, who recently predicted that I'M
less the Germans succeeded in forcing
their way to the coast before Nov. %,
that a general retirement of the en-
tire army occupying Belgium and
Flanders would be ordered.
That the Germans have been busy
constructing a second line of defenses
in different parts of Belgium is known
here, and it is believed the present
retirement will extend only as far as
these defenses have been completed.
That another stand will be made be-
fore the Germans retreat behind their
own frontier is beyond question, and
it is also apparent that hard fighting
will yet ensue before the allies have
an opportunity of attacking the Teu-
tons behind the forts defending the
Fatherland.

Britain Thinks Emergency Act May
Cause Trouble

". NJ Britain. secretary OF the Amer

the coastwise lines with offices at this
port, said Yesterday that he was una
ware until he noticed II In the afternoon
papers that President wilson was con.
templatlng preparing an emergency bill
allowing foreign built ships to fly the
American flag Immediately so the com
merce OF the Atlantic might not be too
seriously affected. MIR. Britain sad his
association had no objection under the
circumstances TO permitting the foreign
built ships coming under the American
flag provided they Were not permitted
to compete with the American built ships
In the coastwise trade
Mr.. Britain said that he knew that
there was an organized effort on the
part OF owners of foreign ships To get
them into the cosstwise business after
they had been admitted TO the ocean ser
vice under the emergency act. and that
this would seriously affect the business
Of the big coastwise lines
There was no doubt. Mr.. Britain said.
that the best coastwise boats could enter
the overseas service and help in the
transportation OF passengers and cargo.
MANY OF them were built to fulfil trans
atlantic requirements and some Of them
were as big and swift az many of the
second class liners flying foreign flags.
He was glad to learn that some of the
big foreign ships might be put under
tn. American nag. as II might mean the
beginning OF the upbuilding of the Amer
lean merchant marine.
The New York and Porto Rico lines
agent said there were several cargo
boats that might he put into sea service
as grain carriers II the carrying became
profitable. as II seemed likely Usually
offshore business did not interest the
coastwise lines. but II there was big
money in taking contraband cargo TO
Europe In bottoms immune from capture
he had no doubt that the coastwise ships
would 60 into the business.
