SLADE NOT BEHIND
AUTOMOBILE TAX

r Il. Slade, secretary of the Good
Chamber of Commerce. and son Of
Representative j. j. Slade, of Mus
cogee County, is in Atlanta to attend
meeting of the committee at 3
Hotel Ansley. Concerning published
reports that Representative Slade was
preparing a bill providing a graded
tax on motor r-driven vehicles, to be
presented to the next legislature, Mr.
Sade entered an emphatic denial that
either his father or himself was CON
nected With it.
MY father has nothing to do with
such bill" said Mr Slade and l.,
personally do not approve of it. We
members of the good roads commit
tee are very friendly to motor car
owners, and We do not believe they
ought to be subjected to any special
tax of this nature"
MIR. Sade said he understood that
Charles L. Davis. State Game War
den. was preparing such bill.
He has some good points in it,
Mr.. Slade said. especially with rel
erence to the use OF the convicts on
the roads. But | do not approve of
the graded tax which the bill seeks
to impose on motor vehicles"
The meeting of the good roa ds
committee is to consider principally
a bill for the forma ton of state
highway commission, similar TO that
having charge of the roads in other
States

 TO the Editor; The Empire:
 It is proposed to have a committee of the most prominent ladies and gem tlemeu of Juneau to organize Q relief fund for the starving people of Bel glum, who are suffering through mol fault of their own and are in actual want at present.
 We have 50 much to be thankful for in our own land of plenty that VIC can surley afford to think at this season Of the year of the dire neces- slty of others. Last summer there was held in Juneau a carnival ct the Rink for Q week Of pleasure; now why not hold week of cHARITY; set the same Rink for Q week to see what we can do to help. First of all on Monday there should be 9 grand Ba- zaar with several of the ladies of Ju- neau Treadwel, Douglas, and Ihane, dressed in the costumes of the differ ent countries Of Europe and the boothsI decorated with the colors of the coun- try (crepe paper would do) and there should be for sale different articles contributed by the generous mer- chants of ihis and other towns of the Gastneau channel, wbo are in sym. pathy with the movement For in- stance. the French booth might be. decorated with the tricolors; the ia. dies dressed in the picturesque cos tunes of the Brittany or Normandy peosents, high white caps, trimmed with lace, black skirts blue aprons and cuffs; the black bodice and white skirt; they might sell iewely and raifle that which does not sell quick ly

TACTICS or. NAPOLEON
 AND KAISER COMPARED

AND hlAioE1 |gNirfth l-s
 PARIS. Nov. 10.-It is becoming more and more evident Co French ob- servers that Germany is now making a maximum effort In Belgium to carry out her determination to penetrate the battle line of Che allies with frontal attack and reach either Dun- kirk of Calais on Che English channel.
 French military critics. from the standpoint Of strategy regard the Ger man position between Che two adver- sarles too far from each other for united efforts in the same operation as favorable one for the reason that it permits the uso Of what Is called internal lines'
 This strategy io simple in theory but not always so in practice. A clas- sical example of internal lines is found in che campaign of 1874 in France Napoleon. holding the internal lines, beat the Austrian army at one point and then, after leaving sufficient fore es to hold them in check, proceeded by forced marches toward the Russian army, which he vanquished in its turn.
 Nowadays. iailroad transportation makes 1t possible to apply this man- eouyer to two points a thousand miles apart German railroads in particular lend themselves admirably to this pro cedure.
 But there is an essential difference, French obseryances point out, between Napoleon's campaign of century ago and that of William II. The opera tions Of today were not begun in the same manner. The first draft of troops to East Prussia was not sent after a victory in France, but after German defeat at Gumbinnen, and further drafts Of troops are now being sent to the Eastern arena of the war after ! German defeats at Augustowo and Warsaw.
 Thus. 1t is not question, in the opinion of French critics. of falling upon the second enemy after having beaten the first but rather of retir l ing before an enemy in a good position in an endeaYor to limit Che success. of another enemy still better placed It is, therefore of tho first import ance for the Germans to beat the Al lies in Belgium and free for Q time ai l least their line of operations in order that they may turn their attention tc the Russians.
 This line of argument leads to the | conviction in Paris that the German endeayor in Belgium will be pursued with great determination.
