WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Tommor.
row President Wilson will begin the
preparation of a message which he
plans to read to congress on Friday
urging the necessity of emergency
revenue legislation to offset the cur
tailment in the customs receipts since
the beginning of the European war
About $100,O00,000 must be pro-
vided. 1t is understood the president
will make 1t clear that sufficient rev.
enues for all purposes are assured,
but that the millions of emergency
revenue must be raised to prevent a
deficit.
1t was agreed that the ways and

bill which should be reported early

Suggestions had been made that
beer. whiskey, domestic wines, tobac-
co, railroad and theater tickets, gaso-
line, patent medicines, soft drinks.
and other similar commodities be
taxed. No agreement has been
reached, however, by the ways and
means majority. The treasury depart.

Proclamation Issued Remov-
ing French Government
Paris Being Fortified.
STILL HOPEFUL

PARIS, Sept. 3.-I2:03 a. MA
proclamation has just been issued by
the government announcing that the
government departments will be
transferred temporarily to Bordeaux.
The proclamation was issued by the
minister Of the interior, who said the
decision had been taken solely upon
the demand of the military author
tiles because the fortified places OF
Paris, while not necessarily likely to
lie attacked, would become the pivot
Ct the field Of operations of the two
armies.
The building of supplementary de-
fensive works is proceeding vigor-
ously.
Several of the gates of Paris were
closed to traffic last night.
The proclamation follows:
"Frenchmen: For several weeks
our heroic troops have been engaged
in fierce combats with the enemy.
The courage of our soldiers has won
for them a number Of marked advant-
ages. But in the north the pressure
OF the German forces has constrained
us to retire. This situation imposes
on the president Of the republic and
the government a pasaful decision.
ITO watch over the national safety
the public authorities are obliged to
leave for the moment the city of
Paris. Under the command of it's
eminent chief the French army, full
of courage and spirit, will defend the
capital and it's patriotic population
against the invader. But the war
must be pursued at the same time in
the rest of the French territory.
The struggle for the honor Of the
nation and the reparation of violated
rights will continue without peace or
truce and without a stop or a failure.
None of it's armies has been broken.
If some of them have suffered
only too evident losses the gaps in
the ranks have been filled up from
the waiting reserve forces while the

WILSON MAY Be
A CANDIDATE
VICE PRESIDENT INSISTS THAT
WOODROW SHOULD SEEK
ANOTHER TERM
HOWEVER, WHITE HOUSE IS SILENT

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA pub.
lished statement by Vice President
Marshall declaring that President
Wilson should run for reelection in
1916 and would be the unanimous
choice of his party, aroused wide in
terest in congressional circles today,
but White house officials refused to
make any comment.
In democratic circles, however, it
Is taken for granted that the presi-
dent will be candidate although it is
said that so far as known he has not
given the question any personal at
tention.
The denomination of several sen.
ators and representatives who have
supported the president on the Pana-
ma tolls, the Mexican and other
questions have encouraged demo.
cratic congressmen's managers. In
this connection particular attention
was paid to the nomination of Rep
resentative Hardwick for senator
from Georgia today. The praise of the
presidents Mexican policy in several
OF the democratic state platforms
recently also has been received with
pleasure by the presidents adherents.

NEUTRALITY
VIOLATED
Japan Lands a Large Number
Of Troops on Neutral Ter
rtory in China.

PEKING, Sept. Japan has land
ed between 10000 and $4,000 troops
from 18 transports at Lung Kow, a
newly opened port about 120 miles
north of Using Tau. This is declared
here to have been done in violation
of China's neutrality.
The German legation has protested
to the foreign office against an in.
fringement of China's neutrality b3
Japan. The protest followed the
landing of a Japanese division at the
newly opened Chinese port of Lung
Kow, 100 miles north of Using Tau.
News of the Japanese landing caused
no surprise here as the japanese
legation several days ago requested
tie foreign office to remove the
limit of fifty kilometers (about 80
miles) radius prescribed by the Chin.
csc as the fighting area around
Using Tau.
The foreign office did not comply
with the request but it was under
stood that the Chinese troops would
be instructed but afraid of doing any
thing that might afford the Japanese
a cause for territorial or other exac-
tions.
Whether British forces will cross
Shan Tun with the Japanese is not
'livulged but the point is much dis
Cussed here.

fight In the air over Paris took place
this evening. Three German aero
planes lowered over the capital and
Immediately two French machines
were sent up to engage them.
Meanwhile rifles and machine guns
mounted on public buildings kept up a
constant fire. BY this means one of
the German machines became separat-

Germans opened fire, to which the
l'renchment replied vigorously.
The engagement seemed to turn to
the disadvantage Of the German who
mounted speedily to a higher level,
and holding this position, was saved
from further attack. He finally disap-
pcared in northwest direction over
Fort Romainville, after vain pursuit.
The other German aeroplanes also
escaped the fire of the guns and after
circling about for considerable time,
disappeared from view.
