WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.-"with def

still affected adversely by the war and
with the necessity before us of continu-
ing the so-called war tax to meet or

occurred since the close of the Sixty

the subject of preparedness"

In the next" he said.
Merely as a matter of good politics,
n II were for a moment placed on this
low ground" Mr.. Bailey continued, "the
proposed expansion of our already huge
fighting machine is not to be thought OF,
since In order to meet the cost IL would
be absolutely necessary to get more
money into the Treasury. either by in
creased taxes or by the issue of bonds.
'Those who remember the effects of the
bond issue under President Cleveland will
hardly urge President Wilson to repeat
the unfortunate experiment. And those
who know how the people feel about the
tax burden they are already carrying VIII
scarcely venture to advocate the imposi-
ton of new taxes.

he would be regarded as a hero IL he
managed to concentrate the kickers In one
mutinous bunch.
He appointed himself a recruiting SER
geant and with note book and pencil
started out to get generals, lieutenants,
captains and privates. BY way of keep
ing up enthusiasm Kineazy took some in
ternal encouragement. Several loiterers
around Richmond. who had nowhere to
go and thought they might as well go TO
war, gave their names. This encouraged
kineazy, and II was with a spirit of
bravado that he asked German whom
he met on Girard avenue to Join the
ranks. The German wanted to know more
about 1t, and as the promoter of the big
army could not explain, there was an ar
gument Kineazy charged on the German
without his army, and the German sat on
the ground and looked up at him.
But Policeman Butterfly saw the battle,
and. despite Kineazy's objections. placed
him under arrest. He showed fight and
the cop was Obliged to use strenuous
methods. The prisoner stopped for re-
pairs at st. Mary's Hospital, and was
then brought before Magistrate Scott. at
the Front and Master streets station.
The Judge told him u was not in good
taste to start a war in this city, and ad-
vised him to remain neutral Some dam
gerous liquid ammunition which the mutt
neer possessed, was Communicated, and
he was given dishonorable discharge.
