DEARTH OF NEWS
WORRYING ENGLISH

London, Sept. 5.-There is a dis.
tinct undercurrent of pessimism in
the meager news that comes from the
continent.
The complete isolation of Paris is
considered certain in the very near
future. The one fact that prevents a
depressing feeling is that the allied
armies are still intact. They consti-
tute an active fighting force that al
ways must be reckoned with.
And the allied army will not make
the mistake of permitting itself to
be cooped up in the forts. 1t has an
open way and will take advantage of
it, although the whole Of France north
Of the Rivers Ainse, Disc, Louvre and
the lower branches of the Seine are
in possession of the Germans and
they are moving swiftly forward.

PLANS TO BOTTLE up
THE ENTIRE ARMY
Russia's Intentions, if Success
full, Would Make March
" on Vienna Easy.

st. Petersburg, Sept. At is stated
at the war Office that the entire Aus
trian army is now in grave danger of
complete annihiliation. ~ -...
In Galicia the fighting forces are
reported as almost exhausted by rea-
son of the continued Russian assault
and in their rear have abandoned
enormous quantities of supplies, in
Guiding thousands of rounds of am
munition, guns of all descriptions and
hospital field equipment. .. =
The reports state that all Austrian
Galicia, from the border to the San
river defenses, is now held by the
Russians. .......ea.... ~.
In addition, Russian force is oper-
ating south of the Dneister river. It
is stated heavy achievements are
constantly going forward and that al
ready the Austrian army is so far out
numbered that it's effectiveness as a
potent fighting force has been great
ly reduced.
It is. believed to be the intention of
the Russian general staff to drive the
army wherever possible into the for
tifications and leave enough troops
behind to bottle them up, thus max
ing an onward march to Vienna easy.
The advance of the Russians
through Galicia is declared to be ex-
tremely rapid. The Cossacks are
sweeping the country in front of the
infantry, falling back whenever strong
positions are located. To the activity
of the Russian cavalry much of the
present success is due. -
1t has deliberately violated the rules
of safety in charging intrenched Aus
trian positions, and as a result the
opposition has lost much of its force
fulness, the official reports say.

AUSTRIANS LEFT 1850
DEAD ON The FIELD

t..
St. Petersburg, via Paris, Sept. s.
An official statement by the govern
ment says:
Concerning the operations of the
Russian army in Galicia, official re-
ports say that the enemy is retreat
ing after desperate fighting near Ha-
licz, leaving $500 dead on the field.
The Russians took thirty-tWo cannon
and railway material.
In the southern front of Warsaw
the Austrian attack was repulsed and
the offensive taken by the Russians.
"By the Lemburg capture Russia
has put out of action quarter of the
total of the first line troops and cap
tured nearly quarter of the Aus
trian artillery, besides commanding
all roads leading from Galicia into
Hungary"

He has been rushing his troops to
the point Of contact all through the
night and it is asserted every posi-
BILE avenue has been taken.
Meanwhile the exodus from the city
continues and with the railway line
to the north and west blockaded most
of the travel of necessity is toward
the south. There is no doubt that the
vicinity of Paris will be q real battle
ground within the next few days.
The main German army is expect
ed to attempt to force the allies to
give battle almost at the gates of the
CITY,. If they do not succeed then the
Germans will undoubtedly press on
against the French English column,
while concentrating their attack on
Paris at one particular point.

WAR TAX FIGURES
ARE NOT CORRECT

Berlin, via The Hague, Sept. s.
The German government has taken
cognizance of the report that unlaw.
full tribute has been levied upon Brus.
sells, Liege and other places.
It was said the report that 100000
600 had been demanded from Brus-
sells, $10,000,0O0 from Liege province,
100000 from Liege proper and
other similar amounts from other
provinces and cities was not true.
'*These places will have to pay a
war tax, naturally" says the report,
"but the amount stated by sources
close to the Belgians are not correct.
The exact figures have not been set. "

Washington, Sept. 5.-President

joint session of congress, asked i'm

sufficient to raise $100,00O,000 annual

1--WE ought to resort to taxation, how
ever we may regret the necessity of
putting additional temporary burdens
on our people.
AN emergency exists which does
not brook temporizing nor delay, al
though not Of our making, and we
must accept the inevitable with calm
judgment and unrutfled spirits,' the
chief executive stated.
During the month of August there
was, as compared with the CORE
spending month OF last year, a fall
ing off of $10,629,53S in the revenues
collected from customs. A continual
ton of this decrease in the same pro-
portion throughout the current fiscal
year would probably mean a loss of
customs revenues of from $60,O0OO0O
to $100,O00,O00.

81 need not tell you to what this
falling Off is due. 1t is DUE. in chief
part, not to the reductions recently
made in the customs duties, but to
the great decrease in importatiOns,
and that is due to the extraordinary
extent of the industrial area affected
by the present war in Europe.
"ConditiOns have arisen which no
