EXTEND WAR TAX
 ANOTHER YEAR
that Bankers will Organize Fight Against Capital Stock
 Being Subjected.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. H. Representative Claude Kitchin, of North Carolina, has called a caucus of the Democrats to be held Monday evening to consider extending the col lection of war tax to the end of the coming year.
 It is stated that the estimates of the revenue expected to be raised by the tax has been a disappointment, having fallen far short of the esti- mates of its advocates. Numerous suits have been filed by bankers at tacking the constitutionality of the tax as it affects capital stock of banks and it is believed that a fight will develop over the extension of the tax for another year.

GEORGIA SENATOR
 PRESSING POINT Bitterly Denounces British Govern ment for I4awlessness in Inter-
 fering with Commerce.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec H. Senator Hoke Smith of~ Georgia oc- cupied the floor of the upper house yesterday afternoon and bitterly ar raigned the British government for it's interference with the commerce of neutral nations He said England had met the protests of President Wilson with increased lawlessness.
 President Wilson, he said. had pro tested to Britain regarding the ruling of the prize court on shipments seiZ- ed and taken to England. and while British diplomats were preparing a reply to the American note, British cruisers had seized two American vessels shortly after they had depart ed from New York. The cargo of the steamers had been confiscated and the steamers requisitioned into the serv- ice of the British government al- though no ruling had been made on their cases by the prize court.
 Senator Smith has announced that he will press the matter before the senate and will demand that Presi- dent Wilson adopt an uncompromis- ing attitude in dealing with the Brit ish government and would insist up- on the right of American ships being free to go to any part of the world without interference on the part 1f foreign nations.

Allies Do Not Believe That Germany Desires Peace on Terms which
 Would Be Acceptable.

LONDON, Dec 1.-The advocates of peace were rudely awakened to a realization of the fruitlessness of their efforts by the utterances of tho German Imperial chancellor when he told the Reichstag that Germany to guarantee her future safety would be compelled to annex the territory which her troops had conquered since the beginning of the war, His statement has precluded all thoughts of peace in the countries with which Germany is at war.
 His declaration that Germany would annex other territory and that she would refuse to part with Alsace and Lorraine, the French provinces, and would also insist upon the resto- ration of the German colonial pos sessions being restored to her has convinced the Allies that hope for peace in the 'ilear future is not de- sired by Germany on terms which the Allies could accept and that the war must continue to definite con clusiOn.

eeretary Garrison Believes Wilson's National Defense Program will
 Be Acted Upon Favorably.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. H. Secretary Garrison, of the war de- partment, believes the administra- tion's national defense program will pass both houses substantially as out lined in President Wilson's message to congress. The measure. he as serts, will have the utmost solid sup port of the Democrats as we'll as that of many Republicans.
 Secretary Garrisons plans. if car ried to fruition, will create a fight ing force of more than one million men in the United States during the six years following it's inauguration. The standing army will be increased to two hundred and fifty thousand men and a reserve force of eight hundred thousand men created.
 The reserve force will be created along lines similar to those of the state militia, when a force of four hundred thousand would be enlisted for three years and would receive military training each summer for three years when they would be plac- ed on the reserve list and a new force enlisted.
 The reserve force, at the end of six years, would provide an army of eight hundred thousand men to reinforce the regulars and making available an army of more than one million men if danger threatened the nation.
 When doubts were expressed that the government having failed to keep the ranks of the present army up to standard, would. be unable to secure enlistments for the new forces to be created. Secretary Garrison hinted that if the government failed in se- curing voluntary enlistments that compulsory service would be put into effect.

London Fears that Anglo French Ex- petition to Serbia Win Be Lost
 to the Allies if Not Relieved.

LONDON, Dec 11--Ofticial advices from Saloniki state that the Anglo French expedition to the assistance of Serbia and which is retreating is in desperate straits and may be cap tured. The Allies forces are said to be outnumbered and are short of mu- nitions. They are retreating before the German and Austrian troops and are threatened by flank movement in which Bulgarian forces are at tempting to cut off their retreat.
 The Greek ministry has refused to permit of endorsements being sent to the, Allies from Saloniki and has demanded that the Allies forces be withdrawn from Greek territory.
 It Is realized by commanders of the Anglo-French troops. in Macsdo- mia that 1t is only matter of tempo rizing with Greece in an effort to save the army now retreating to the coast. 1t is feared that Greece will precipi- tate hostilities by disarming the AL lies who have entered Macedonia from Serbia and Bulgaria.
 A strong fleet of Allies warships has been assembled in the Mediter- ranean off the coast of Greece and is prepared to begin the bombardment of the Greek c..les If the Allies troops are disarmed and informed by King Constantine

FRIEND Of1W|LS0N
 STANDS FOR PARTY
Bryan Says He Is In Harmony with President on Nearly all Ques-
 tions-Spht on Principles.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Dec. H. William J. Bryan tonight issued a statement in which he reiterated his personal friendship for President Wilson The Nebraskan declares that on practically all questions he is in harmony with the President, and that any differences between the two are those, of principle.
 Mfr. Bryan departed for his winter home at Miami, and will conduct his peace program from there.
 MT. Bryan's statement follows:
 "I came to Washington two years ago last March at the invitation of the President. because he thought l could render a. service to the govern ment. I was more. than pleased with the opportunities offered and am sat isfied that the work done in the State Department, especially in the negotiation of treaties and in culti- vating better relations with Latin America, will stand.
 'I resigned only when I became convinced that the opportunities for service were larger outside the Cab- met. On nearly every question l found it possible to agree with the President and in those matters it has given me pleasure to second his ef- forts. In the few instances in which we could not agree, I have stated my views with frankness and am will ing to risk the judgment of the party and the country.
 ''The Republicans must not put the differences between the President and myself in the same class as the differ ences between MT. Taft and MT Roosevelt MT. Taft and MT. Roose- welt had personal differences which led to division in the Republican Party The President and myself are friendly and our differences are only differences of principle.
 ''l rely upon my record during tne last twenty-five years to prove my de votion, to the Democratic Party, and that devotion was never greater than today. My obligations to the party have constantly increased and the six millions and half of Democrats who have three times voted for me will never have reason to doubt my loyalty to the principles which have made the Democratic Party living force in politics for more than a zen tury, and which, in spite of any mis- takes 1t may make, will continue to make 1t the party of the common people and the champion of the rights of the masses"

Briiain's Commercial War
on the United States.

The United States government is
officially informed by one Of its
trusted and capable representatives
that Great Britain, while shutting
off American commerce with the
neutral nations of northern Europe,
is increasing its own exports to
those countries. The merchandise
that Americans are not permitted to
sell is now sold by British export
ers, thanks to the fraudulent block
ade. In some commodities British
exports have quintupled during the
last year, while American exports of
the same commodities have been
diverted to British ports.
Under the pretext of necessity,
Great Britain is preventing American
goods from going to Holland, Dem
mark, Norway or Sweden. All car
goes are subject to detention, and
most of them are detaissed in Brit
ish ports. When the Americans
make an extra clamor their cargoes
are purchased-at its own price-by
the British government. Then Brit
ish merchants send word to the
waiting consumers that the Amer
lean cargoes have been held up, but
that British goods are available.
Thus the trade of the neutral coun-
tries named is being taken over by
Great Britain, all in the name of
military necessity" and with the
Snug suggestion that our American
cousins will sympathetically UNDER
stand our necessities
No more eold-blooded, rapaeious
conspiracy was eyer concocted than
this robbery Of American commerce
under the guise Of legitimate war
operations.
Recently Great Britain has made
cotton contraband, SC that it may be
seized without compensation to the
owner. At the same time British
exports Of cotton to countries adj
jacent to Germany are rapidly in
creasing. Heretofore cotton cargoes
were paid for; now they are merely
robbed on the high seas.
The United States government
has delayed making an effectual pro-
test to Great Britain against this
high-sea piracy because of the
complications arising from the Lusi-
tania, Arabic and similar horrors,
which fixed public attention upon
the questions affecting life rather
than property. In the meantime,
the British policy Of destroying
American trade relations with Hol-
land, Denmark, Norway and Sweden
has been pursued with the utmost
diligence. It is time that the United
States should call all offenders to
account. The commercial war that
is being waged against this country
calls for decisive action, unless the
States is willing to become
adjunct to the British commercial
system.
