HILLS IS UNJUST
---MUENSTERBERC
Denies Writing Anony-
nous Article and Calls
Attack SCandalOuS.

Professor Hugo Nuensterberg. OF
Harvard, in a letter TO Miss Frances
Aiming, Of 314 State St. Brooklyn,
characterized the Rev Newell Dwight
Hills, of Plymouth Church, as a man
Of injustice and untruth. Miss Aiming
had written TO Professor Muensterberg
that DR.. Hills in sermon on Amer
ica's New Land Hunger" in which he
severely attacked Germany, had quoted
anti-American sentiments from an
anonymous article in THE Atlantic
Monthly" to the effect that some day
America would get the thrashing she
so richly deserved" and a few days
later, through his secretary, informed
her by letter that the article was writ
ten by Professor Muensterberg.
1.-THE fact is writes Professor
Muensterberg. that have not only
not written that article, but | have
never read il, and that, judging from
this quotation, utterly disapprove Of
IT, Moreover, | have never written a
line in The Atlantic Monthly anony-
mously. in short, this whole attack
on me is based on an ineXcusable
calumny, ten times Iaore scandalous
in the mouth of minister, Yet it is
not different from many other state
ments which DR.. Hills has found il
appropriate TO make concerning Ger
many and the Germans.
DR.. Hills said last evening he had
been led 10 suspect Professor Muenster-
berg authorship of the article by
William Morton Fullerton, author of
"Problems Of Power" who in a recent
publication dealing with the anony-
nous article pointed out that IL was
one Of the ironies Of history that at
the University Of Harvard zone of the
most mettlesome Of these German
centaurs. disguised as a professor of
philosophy, should profit by the hos
pitality accorded TO him TO battle open
~ against the Monroe Doctrine.
The passage which DR.. Hills ascribed
to the pen OF the Harvard professor fol-
lows:
III you. who owe 20 much 10 the Ger
man, in this your fair land, in the civ
ilization they have brought here; il
you still want to Eight these splendid
people, who want 10 find expanding
room, as you once sought and found ex-
banding room, in order 10 bolster
and uphold the wretched travesty of a
tyrannous dictatorship, masquersding
as a paper republic, sir Uncle Sam 4,
YOU have forfeited the worlds respect:
YOU have not adjusted yourself 10 the
new day: you are an inadequate stew

century. and you Uncle SAM will rich

MERCER to the Pope

Washington Jan. 2s.-The Belgian
Legation here gave out to-day
COPY Of the telegram sent BY Ming
Albert Of Belgium to Pope Bene-
dict UNFOLDING Cardinal MERCER. II
was as follows:
The heart Of your holiness must
have been deeply afflicted by the ar
rest OF high dignitary of the
Church. member Of the Sacred Col
lege. who. though paying respect to
the situation de facto OF the oocu-
pier Of his country. could not re-
main silent in the presence OF the
merciless wrongs committed toward
his panshioners and the Ill treat
ment inflicted on so many priests in
my country.
II express to the venerable head
of the Roman Church my great ad-
miration for the conduct of Cardi-
nal MERCER, who, like the glorious
prelate of the oldeu times, has dared
10 oppose perjury with truth and TO
proclaim the indisputable right Of
the cause of justice. In the face oil
the universal conscience, ] beg your
holiness to believe in my respectful
feeling and my filial devotion.

DIRECT TAXES IN
RUSSIA INCREASE
Loss of Millions Through
Prohibition Expected
To Be Made Up.

Petrograd via London. Jan. 28.-
The official report just made by the
Ways and Means Committee Of the
Douma indicates that. despite the war,
nary income from direct taxes during
the coming year will exceed that of
last year by S33, DDS, 800. The direct
taxes will be approximately sl71,-
232,500.
This is the first budget in which the
income from alcoholic drinks will be
eliminated. From nearly s500,000,000
from this source the government reve-
nue. will drop to about one-tenth that
amount, which will accrue from the
sale of industrial spirits.
The government expects no difficulty
in raising by indirect taxes a sufficient
amount to cover the deficiency due to
lack of revenue from the sale OF
liquors. Notwithstanding the great per
centage OF laborers in the ranks OF the
army, it is pointed out that the ef-
iicency OF those remaining, owing to
enforced sobriety, has been increased
from 30 to 100 per cent. The natural
resources belonging to the crown, such
as oil fields, coal and copper mines,
woodland and prairie. which have not
hitherto been exploited. have been
given out in free concessions and are
about TO be developed, and from these
the taxes. together with the land tax,
it is calculated, will aggregate total
of s347 900 900.
Acting Premier KharitonofF, in speak
ing Of the budget. said
without resorting to extraordinary
measures. the income from internal
revenues will cover the expenses Of the
government and pay the interest on
the bonded Indebtedness"

alumni at the Hotel MeAlpin. Cheers

Russians Driven Back After
Penetrating Hungarian Valley.

Vienna, Jan. % via London The
official statement issued to-day says:
"The Nagyag Valley has been cleared
OF the enemy. The Russians, who with
strong forces had penetrated the valley
as far as the region north of Okor-
mezo Hungary, were obliged yester-
day TO abandon their last strongly for
tilted position. We captured Toronya.
In the pursuit we reached Wyszkow,
where engagements against the hostile
rear guard began again.
ION the heights north Of Kezerswaed-
las and near Nolovac the Russians
tried 10 retake their lost positions. but
were repulsed. We captured 700 pris-
Oners and five machine guns.
"On the rest Of the front in the Car
pathans there has been no substantial
change. East of the Nagyag tranquil
lily prevails.
There have been small actions and
artillery engagements in West Gslicia
and Poland"

thus TO improve tye chances OF the
Austrians in the Carpathlans, where

"In Azcrbaijan Province, Persia, the
activity Of the enemy is increasing II
has been noticed particularly that nu-
merous bands Of Kurds, supported by
regular Turkish troops, have underta-

been repulsed.
Along the other Caucasian fronts

FEW AMERICANS
EXPECTED ABROAD
Sailing Lists of Steamship Lines
Give No Expectation o.
MANY Tourists.
LBy Cable b The Tdbune !

London. Jan. 26. Despite the san
guine expectations Of hotel men here,
some steamship officials believe that
few tourists will visit Great Britain
this spring and summer. and the sail
ing lists just issued indicate no ex-
pectation of large amount Of travel.
These lists, covering the period until
July, represent no such lotllla as Is
usually scheduled to handle more than
100000 Americans. An official of the
White Star Line said to-day:
The Adriatic, our biggest boat, IS
now running. There is no demand in
sight which warrants placing the
Olympic in commission again. Perhaps
a number of wealthy Americans will
come over. as we'll as business men,
but the tourist army has not yet for
gotten the inconvenience they suf-
while the war is in progress. When
peace comes there will be hard time
handling the Americans who will want
TO visit Europe"
