ITALY SURPRISES
FOOD SPECTATORS
Will Not Countenance Attempts
To Turn Tragedy To
Profit.

Rome, Aug. IA (via Paris, Aug. III. -
The italian government shows energy
in combating the various maneuvers
adopted by SPECTATORS who attempt to
make money out OF the present trag-
edy. Ship owners are asking exorbitant
prices for the transportation OF coal
from England and the United States
nounces that 1t is about to make a
requisition on all craft necessary to
provide the public service companies
with the coal necessary for their use.
The effect OF the war Is being felt
also on the finances of the vatican, the
resources of which are deposited in the
banks of Italy and abroad, whence II Is
difficult to withdraw them. Further
more, remtttances are few, the pay
ments of Peters pence have been al"
most suspended.

CONSIDER SPECIAL
REVENUE TAX LEVY
President Confers With House
And Senate Committeeman
On Customs Deficit.

washington. Aug. 1S-- Possibility OF
the United States government issuing
Panama canal bonds to meet the de-
ficiency In customs revenues caused by
the European war, has not been consid-
cred seriously by the administration as
yet. President Wilson told callers to-
day.
The question OF raising money to
offset the losses were discussed today by
the president and Senator Simmons,
chairman OF the Senate finance COM
mittee and Representative Underwood.
chairman OF the House ways and means
committee.
The president, Senator Simmons and
Representative Underwood agreed that
O special tax probably would be neces-
sary, but no time for beginning it's OPP
GRAFTON was settled on, when treasury
officials conclude that additional funds
are necessary the president will send
special message to congress asking
that a tax be levied. Representative
Underwood said that the manufacture

the war will be crippled for several
years, making an early return to normal

event Of short war He added that

Army EnIistments and Reflections.

According to the Army and Navy Jour
nal, the total number Of applicants for
enlistment in the army during 1913 in the
eastern, middle, southern and western sec
tons of the United States was as follows:
In Chicago, 1880, with 9,342 reflections, or
1874 per cent of reflections: in New York,
II O55, with 1873 reflections, a percentage
of SOC; in Savannah, New Orleans and
Little Rock, 3S5, with 3O11 reflections,
percentage of 1874; at San Francisco, 5,5O4,
with 4,443 reflections, a percentage or re-
jections of S0.7. 1t will be seen from these
figures that the percentage OF reflections
was about the same in New York and
San Francisco, and that the percentage
for the southern section and the middle
west as represented by Chicago was lower
than either the east or the west, with a
small Fraction in favor OF the more north
erIy section. The better showing of the
middlet west was rather to be expected,
though the margin is quite small, but the
surprising thing about all these figures is
the large percentage of reflections In all
sections of the country. The Journal of
the American. Medical Association thinks
that 1t does not argue well for the
physiulie and the stamina Of our young
men, or perhaps may be accounted for by
the .SuppositioTi, that the best do not offer
themselves for enlistment. In England,
lit is said, the physique OF the average
Tommy Atkins is deteriorating, but in "a
comparatively new country IKE the Unit
ed States, the descendants' Of hardy pio-
fieer stock reared amid abundance and
under favorable health and climatic con-
dftions, should make q much better
showing. = ~ 80 -. - .

oUIRks OF FOREIGN LAW.
German Had to'Pay for Broken
Window Because He Dodged
Stone. ..

' Y
1t Is said that a Frenchman, reply
ing to an inquiry made of him as to the
character and qualifications OF a wom-
an applying for employment as cook,
got into serious trouble when he wrote
that he could not recommend the ap-
plicant by reason Of her extravagance,
impertinence and prediction to drink
while she was in his service. The per-
son to whom the. Frenchman wrote the
letter showed the communication to
the cook, with the result that the lat
ter Immediately brought suit for dam
ages against the writer. ~.
This case showed a peculiar feature
of the French law on this subject.
The matter was decided against the
writer, who was fined and admonished
that he had no right to circulate in
furious statements concerning another
persons, even though the statements
might be true. Since that time, IL is
said, French housekeepers, to evade the
responsibility thus placed upon them
by law, have issued certificates of char
acter in form something like the fol-
lowing:
This certifies that Nine. Marie. late
nurse to my daughter, aged / year, did
not leave her on a bench in the Jardin
des Plantes and go away and forget
her on October IL last" e. =.
It is obvious that a certificate Of this
way laying the writer open to a suit
for damages.
Another curious illustration Of the
principle OF responsibility abroad is at
forled by a civil damage suit growing
out Of the breaking OF a plate glass
window in a German town! A witness
had testified as follows:
"As I was passing down the street
in front OF the windows 1 saw a big
stone come whirling through the air.
I did not know whence 1t came. I saw
1t coming through the air and had
just time enough to dodge to save my
self from being hit by it,"
The witness was sharply questioned
upon the point whether the stone that
broke the window would have struck
him had he not lodged it. He was
then dismissed. Eventually the de-
clsion of the magistrate was this:
'Tnasmuch as If the witness had not
unfortunately ducked his head, the
glass would not have been struck by
sponsible for the breaking of the win
dow and Is ordered to pay to the owner
the value of the same"
The Paris Concierge has always been
a privileged person, but he has acquired
new Importance within recent years by
reason of court decision handed
down there. A concierge had permitted
himself the liberty OF opening the let
ters of young lady, one of the tenants
Of the house.
Discovering the fact, the young
woman brought suit against the con-
cierge. The case was tried and was de-
cided against the young woman, 1t be-
ing held that the responsibility of the
state ended with the delivery Of the
mail to some person who was author
lied to receive it and that the con-
cierge was such a person. But the
court censured the concierge for being
guilty of an indelicacy."
There was no redress for the owner
Of the letters beyond this, and to COM
plete the whole the concierge next
brought suit in his turn against the
young woman. This, however, was
too much for any court. The case was
dismissed without a hearing.
