WORD OF MRS. GEER
Americans in Germany, How
ever, Are Better Off Than in
Other Countries

WASHINGTON. Aug. l0.-That
Americans In Germany are better on
than those in other parts Of the war
territory was indicated In official dis
patches to the state department to-
day. Ambassador Gerard cabled from
Berlin, and consuls in other parts
OF Germany wired that Americans
are safe and comfortable.
The dispatches indicated that the
prohibition by Germany against any
American leaving until after mobil-
ization proved good fortune instead
Of hardship. In most parts OF the
war zone the greatest hardship came
when the frightened Americans hur-
ried away without any baggage.
Z From Germany today came long
lists of Americans whose homes are
In New York, Baltimore, Boston. and
one or two other large cities, saying
they were well and In no immediate
danger.
Today's bunch OF kilograms was
among the largest received at the
state department during the war. Al
though typewriter on thinnest
"fiimsy" tissue paper, the pile was
over two inches thick.
II was explained that unless in
quiry has been made through the
state department inquiring about
Mrs. Harrison Geer and daughter, OF
Detroit, the department would have
no information about them

Prices of foodstuffs In Detroit con-

for from 22 to 26 cents and ham for
from 20 to % cents.

Monday morning. land | look for the
advance In price to continue stead

Dressed beef at wholesale has
gone up about $3.50 hundred in the
last three weeks; at least the 'ad-

Calves are up to 17h cents, and in

Meat and sugar are not the only

However. the demands from coun-
triek at war cannot affect one part OF
the meat market without the change
being shifted to the other branches. A
higher price for cured meats means
that more people will be forced to
take other kinds. and then up will 60

Prospect of Prolongation of
European Struggle Makes Such
Measure Absolutely Neces-
sary, Officials Admit
WHISKY, BEER AND
TOBACCO TO BE TAXED
rStamp Tax" on Legal Docu-
ments May Also Be Imposed
by Congress

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.-Although
the United States is at peace, legis-
lative leaders today admitted levying
of war tax" in inevitable. Pros
poets that the European conflict will
be prolonged and that II will mater
tally reduce, for years to come, the
imports OF this country, make II nee
essary to adopt emergency measures
for the raising OF revenue.
Majority Leader Underwood, au'
thor OF the new tariff law, admits
that the falling OF in the imports
from Europe win be such that con.
gress must begin to think Of other
means OF bringing In money. Under
wood said that no definite plan had
been considered, but the impression
IN legislative circles Is that a stamp
tax will be imposed as In the Span
ish-American war. Whisky, beer and
tobacco, certainly, and possibly
checks, mortgages and other legal
documents will most likely be penal
ICED for revenue raising purposes
There Ii no immediate need OF
passing an emergency taxation bin,
said Underwood, for there Is good
surplus In the treasury now. But be-
fore the session ends 1t Is practically
certain we will have to pass some
sort of an emergency measure. Our
imports necessarily will be greatly
reduced by the war aoroad, but we
can run along. probably for three OF
four months, without feeling the d.
rect effect of the falling of. have
made no plans for raising additional
revenue, although II Is a matter
which we are considering OF course. :
Underwood called attention to the
old law permitting the sale OF Pan
anna bonds, but the Democratic party
Is against bond issues when they can
be avoided, and. although about $780,.
100000 Of such bonds might be sold,
II is understood that war tax" is
preferred by the Democratic leaders.
Rough estimates are that the Eu-
ropean war will reduce import reve-
nues about one-third.

Leagues Counsel Sees Victory il Federal Court War.

v Chiacgo,; April 3.-The Federal league stands to win, no matter what the outcome of it's suit to enjoin Will liam Killifer from playing with the Philadelphia. Nationals, according to F. E, Gates, the leagues counsel.
 If the. United Estates court at Grand Rapids, after the hearing on Saturday. grants the Federal league it's injunction the outlaws count of. having Killifer, Blanding, sKahler, Baum gardner and Williams forced sto live up to the Federal contracts they are said to have signed.
 If the court refuses to grant. the injunction, thus denying the binding power of the contract Killifer signed with the Federals, Gates holds that the contracts in organized baseball would be considered equally useless, so that dissatisfied players could jump to the Federals without regard to contracts.
 Latest reports concerning the Seat on case were that the pitcher prob ably would be forced to play with the Brooklyn club.
