President Urges Legislation 10
Raise S1OO,OOO,OOO
Each Year

Washington, y. c., Sept. A.
addressed IA joint session of
Congress today, urging legisla-
tion to raise $100,000,000 a
year additional revenue,
through internal taxes, to
meet the treasury deficit
threatened by the conflict in
Europe.
He advised against the gov
ernment borrowing the money
or selling bonds, which would
make "a most untimely and
uniustifiable demand upon the
money Market" and appealed
to the patriotic public "to bear
the burden of a special tax to
meet the unforeseen emergen-
cy. -
Immediately upon the con-
clusion of the address, legisla-
tive machinery was set in mo-
ton to carry his recommend
ations into effect.

WOULD RETAIN
FRIENDSHIP or
UNITED STATES
British Ambassador Makes Eng.
lanG'S Position Plain

Washington, Sept. 4.-That
it is the hope and desire of the
British government that none
of the numerous questions of
neutrality which might arise
should affect friendly rela-
tions between Great Britain
and the United States was the
statement of Sir Cecil Spring
Rice to President Woodrow
Wilson in a conference upon
American neutrality in the
European war.
The ambassador referred in
Il general way to the position
of the British government ON
the proposed purchase of for
eign ships Ior the upbuilding
of an American merchant ma
rine. The president was in
formed that Great Britain will
place no obstacles in the way
and wished the effort success.
While not disputing the
right Of the United States to
purchase as many ships from
one belligerent nation as she
chooses, Great Britain would
not be pleased if a great num-
ber OF vessels were brought
from German owners, a cir
cumstance that might give
Germany a big supply of mon
ey.
The answer Of the American
government to this idea is that
when the time for purchasing
ships arrives nothing of an un-
nature will be done and
as equitable an arrangement Us
possible will be sought.

RUSSIANS VICTORIOUS
GaIiCia Is Virtually in Their Con
troll, But Germans Hold Own
in Prussia

London, Sept. 1.-The az
mics of Germany-Austria, Rus
sia, France and Great Britain
are still at death grips in four
colossal battles.
A few brief bulletins convey
all the important facts that the
peoples of Europe know about
the war, yet they wait with
Spartan patience for informa-
ton.
The triumph of the Russian
arms in the Austrian province
OF Galicia has been amply con-
firmed. In addition to the bat
tie of Lemberg, in which the
flower Of the Austrian army
corps was destroyed, it is evi-
dent there has been a stimuli
taneous victory at Tomaszow,
a town of some Importance,
thirty miles southeast of Lodz,
Russian Poland.
1t is evident that Galicia is
virtually III the control of the
Russians. Lemberg is the caI
ital of the enormous territory,
slavic in sympathy, and a
transportation point of great
strategic value, being the cen
ter of eight railroads.
Meagre German reports re-
ceived indicate the Germans
are more than holding their
own on the border of East
Prussia.
The allied armies probably
now occupy q line of siege both
to the east and west of Paris.
Recruiting has improved in
England, and the authorities
are now prepared to form ten
or twelve divisions.

AID FROM U. S. SHIP?

New York, Sept. 4.-The

ammunition from a vessel fly
ing the American flag.
The United States permits
the sale of ammunition to bel
ligerents, the same being snb-
jectcd to seizure at sea as con
traband.

Usually the reason why children read
trashy books is because no older person
is taking a real live interest in pointing
the way to good books. In order that
children may acquire the habit of read

person to interest them in subject, and
perhaps to read aloud unit sufficient

1t IS a mistake to read down to a child.
He may not understand all of a book, but
he will catch the fire and spirit 1t is
surprising how much children will absorb
from mature books that are read to them.
They enjoy that which is strong Their
tastes will be vit!ated by literature that
