A Disappointing Feature
of the Present War.

Every angle from which one looks al
the present war has an unsatisfactory
aspect The war itself is bad. Every
result, direct or indirect, and life in
dustry, commerce, morals-everything
lis bad.
But those are all facts that go with
war. The magnitude of this war only
makes them worse. A hundred years
however, the world will doubtless
look back on the present world crisis
and wonder how it could ever have
happened.
What a pity it is-inasmuch as the
war is on and must go on to the end
that we cannot secure for future gen
erations, the complete and accurate
history of the conflict which, ex-
cept for military regulations, science
has now enabled US to have.
Never in the history of the yorld
have men been so well equipped to
portray q great world event as they
are today. The telegraph, the caole,
the wireless, the moving picture cam
SL%4s the pI1OIOSIdpnt I44S AA1OSy 20 SAAS
cylinder press, the newspaper-every
facility for recording the scenes, the
sounds. and the accurate word de-
scriptions of the greatest war the
world has ever known, and possibly
ever will know--alI of these facilities
are at hand, but none of them can be
utilized. Military regulations forbid it.
Most of the histories of the wars Of
the past are but fragmentary con1pila-
tions Of fact and fiction by men who
had little or no personal contact with
the events themselves Most of the
pictures of those events are drawn
from word descriptions or from imagi-
nation
Now although we have every facili-
ty for getting an accurate word and
picture story of the events transpiring
in Europe, our histories will be little
more complete or accurate than those
of the time Of Caesar, Napoleon, Wash
ington, Grant and Lee.
If Roosevelt were only a participant,
1t might be different.

AGREE ON
PLAN FOR
WAR TAX
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, Aug. lS.--Plans for in
creased taxes on beer, liquor and t.
bacco to make up for deficit caused
by the loss of tariff revenues during
the war were practically settled upon
at conference between Secretary
McAdoo and congressional leaders.
Later conference will be held with
President Wilson in regard to the pro
posed legislation for the purpose of
getting executive approval and a bill
win be brought out next week An
increase in the income tax is also be-
ing discussed
Treasury experts Wednesday night
completed a statement showing i'm
ports from the war zone. They did
NOT hazard an estimate of probable
loss in revenues, though informally it
was admitted that the total might be
nearly $t00,00O,O0O for the year. Fig
ures also have been prepared to dem
onstrate what might be raised by in
creased taxes on liquors and tobacco
and by adding to the income tax.
The normal revenue on importations
from the countries now affected, Ger.
many Great Britain, Austria-Hungary,
Russia. France and Belgium approx
mates $ll6,0O0.0Go a year. Germany
exports many things that the custom
experts say may be provided by Eng
land and other countries Japan might
take advantage OF the opportunity to
increase its expectations of articles
normally supplied by Germany The
chief loss will be in laces, pottery and
embroideries, toys, dyes, etc.

The German advance is being great

as they dominate the routes taken by
the Germans and also the intervals
between the forts, thereby preventing

The mortgage was made in favor of

event the railroad company loses the
case and the $4,000 remains in the
