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
1t, 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.

EASY VICTORY over

London, Sept. 5.--A dispatch to the
Chronicle from Ostend says:
"A tourist who has Just arrived here

There is feeling OF despair In
Budapest. That Is caused mainly by
the practical abandonment OF the cam.
paign against Servia. which had the
whole-souled support of the populace,
who believed that only one sharp
stroke was needed to demolish Servia.
Yet at the end Of a month not single
Austrian soldier is on Servian soil.

Wilson Urges Reve-
nue. Increase.
NEED ONE HUNDRED
MILLIONS ANNUALLY
Declares Faith in Governments
Financial Condition Must
Not Be Impaired.

Washington, Sept. president
Wilson, in a special address" to the
joint session of congress, asked i'm
position of an internal revenue tax
sufficient to raise 100000 600 annual
ly because of dwindling customs reve-
nues as result of the European war.
The president said the war tax
was necessary Immediately TO keep
the treasury unimpaired and to place
1t beyond public question in strength.
He emphatically said a bond issue
would be unwise.
I'VE ought not to borrow" he said.
I'VE 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 unruffled Spirits the
chief executive stated.
During the month OF August there
was, as compared with the CORE
spending month of last year, fall
ing of of s10.629,5 ,53s in the revenues
collected from customs. A continual
tion of this decrease in the same pro-
portion throughout the current fiscal
year would probably mean a loss of
customs revenues of from $4,000 900
to S100,000,000.
Decrease In Importations.
Il need not tell you to what this
falling off is due. 1t is due, i'm 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
man foresaw. They affect the whole
world of commerce and economic pro-
duction and they must be faced and
dealt with. 1t would be very unwise
to postpone dealing with them. De-
lay In such matter, and In the par
ticular circumstances in which we
now find ourselves as nation, might
involve consequences of the most en-
barrassing and deplorable sort, for
which |. for one, would not care to
be responsible.
1T would be very dangerous in the
present circumstances TO. create a mo-
ments doubt as to the strength and
sufficiency of the treasury of the Unit
ed States, its ability to assist, to
steady and to sustain the financial
operations of the country's business.
"To sell bonds would be TO make a
most untimely and unjustifiable de-
mand on the money market. untimely
because this Is manifestly not the
time to withdraw working capital
from other uses to pay the govern
ment's bills. Unjustifiable because
unnecessary"
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1914-09-05

That Church of England clergymen
should not enlist as combatants is the
opinion expressed by the archbishop
of Canterbury in a letter to the dio-
cesan bishops. prompted by inquiries
he received from large number OF
