Germany Does Not.
(By United Press)

Berlin, Dec. 20.-Germany regards
the speeches of England, France and
Russia as a bluff to impress Berlin
with the Entente's determination.
"The Ententes cannot do otherwise, in
view of the past statements, although
they are really anxious for peace
This view is reflected in all walks
CT German life following the Lloyd
George speech. Berlin is not pessi-
mistic. The general view is that the
Entente speeches are not taken seri-
ously when weighed against the Ger
man progress in Rumania. Officials
also take this view.

SPECIAL TRAIN WAS USED
TO GET SPECIAL REMEDY

St. Paul, Mimi, May 29.-James j.
Hills ten days illness cost at least
$4,000, according to conservative es-
Inmates. This includes $4,000 for
special trains, being what the cost
would be to people not owning rail
roads. Where specials were run over
lines other than Hills, they were
donated. Specialists cost $4,000.
One special train over the Burlng-
ton from Chicago Saturday, which
cost 2,4OO, was to get two ounces of
sedative that was never used. The
train was pulled by the heaviest and
fastest of Burlington engines and was
given full right of way. 1t consisted
of two coaches and an engine.
The distance of 431 miles from Chi
oago to St Paul was made in 4S3 min
utes. From Grand Crossing, at La
Crosse, Wis, to St Paul, a distance
of 12S miles. was made in 126 minutes.
This special sroxc all Chicagt st. FAM
speed records.
After the two ounces of precious
sedatiye were secured, specialists
changed their minds and used only
sedatives which could easily be obtain
ed in st. Paul.

RATES ALL GRAVES OF vETER-
ANS IN ROSE HILL CEMETERY
YESTERDAY.

For the first time since the great
war between the states, and since
the Inauguration Of the national Dec
grafton Day, the graves of all sol
diers who fought for the lost cause
who are inferred in Rose Hill ceme-
terry. were decorated with the ma
tional emblem the same as adorned
the grave of deceased Union sol
dier.
The graves at the cemetery were
all decorated yesterday afternoon and
this afternoon Bradford Post G.. A. R.
held its regular ritualistic services at
the soldiers plot in Rose Hill. The
address was made by Rev. Cooper
of the Broadway Baptist church.
"The lines of the old boys of op-
posing forces during the strenuous
days of the sixties are becoming
thinner every year, and it is crafty
ing to note that they have so far
forgotten the bitterness engendered
during this period that the survivors
of the blue feel honored to decorate
the graves of their dead antagonists -
This quotation is from son of a
Confederate veteran, and shows con-

The volume of money pouring into
the treasury has steadily increased
month by month since last fail until
now it is greater than at any time
since the effects of the war began to
be felt. Mr.. McAdoo accounts for the
situation as follows
The great boom in business is large
ly responsible for the increase in re-
ceipts from ordinary international
revenue. The prosperity of the coun-
try with the attendant wider scope
of employment and increase in wages
has in itself, resulted in a larger con
sumption of taxable articles, greatly
augmenting the governments rev.
enue.

APPOINTED TO
RAISE FUNDS
BUSINESS MEN MET YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON TO DISCUSS PLANS
FOR ERECTING BUILDINGS AT
COUNTY FAIR.

A meeting of business men was
called by the secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of discussing the
method of raising funds to erect the
necessary buildings for the county
fair. Judge Harreld and the old tab
ernacle committee were appointed to
make arrangements for raising funds
to purchase the lumber in the taber-
nacle and turn the same over to the
county fair association.
The fair association has several
plans under discussion to raise the
necessary funds for erecting the
buildings for the fair and their eff
forts along the lines they are now
pursuing will make the burden lighter
upon the business men of the city.
The last carnival held here netted
little over three hundred dollars.
and the association hopes to make
as much from the one now here.
Under the law the city in the county
where the fair is held must erect suit
able buildings and donate them to
the fair association. This will have
to be done by popular subscription
unless the money can be raised 9TH
erwise.
Sam Baird and a few other horse
fanciers have at their own expense
maintained the track at the old fair
grounds in good condition and all that
remains at present to make the
grounds complete is the grandstand
and other buildings which must be
erected before September.

FAMOUS CONFEDERATE RAIDER
DIED IN NATIONAL CAPITAL TO-
DAY AFTER LONG ILLNESS.
HERO OF THE South.
feder'te Raiders Rode Up and Down
Sh 4. 1oah Valley During Civil
War % 'rizinng the North.

Washington, II May 3O.-colonel
John S. Mosby 1st famous con-
federate raider of 'vil war, died
here today after lol oss. He was
native of Virginia all vas 50 years
of age.
Col. Mosby dared death over fifty
years ago when at the head of band
of a few hundred confederate raiders
he rode up and down the Shenandoah
valley, capturing outposts, destroying
supply trains and cutting off means of
communication. 1t has been estimated
that he often neutralized the force Of
over $4,000 federals in the valley.
Born in Powhattan County, Va, De-
cember 6, 1888 and graduated from
the University of Virginia in 1852, he
was practicing law in Bristol Va,
when the war broke out and he began
his career in the confederate army.
He proved his daring with such eff
feet that he became a scout for Gen.
j. e. b. Stuart and led the celebrated
raid around McClellans army on the
Chickahominy In Richmond a year
later he recruited an independent cav
airy troop which became famous as
Mosby's Partisan Rangers. They be-
came night riders and the terror of
the federal troops.
Mosby's most brilliant exploit was
the capture of Gen. Stoughton. On
March night in 1863 he, with 80 fol-
lowers, rode through the federal army
to Fairfax court house, only Is miles
from Washington, where Gen. Slough
ton was asleep. Although surrounded
by an army said to have been 1900
strong, the rangers calmly kidnapped
the general, his staff and many SEN
tries, and turned them over to the
confederate authorities at Culpepper
without having lost a man.
General Grant once later saved Mos
by from hanging and two foes Of the
battlefield became staunch friends.
Mosby stumped the state of Virginia
for Grant during his presidential cam
paign, and was rewarded with an ap-
pointment as consul at Hong Kong, a
post which he held for seven years.
When he returned to the United
States, Mosby called on the surviving
members of his rangers and, to his
astonishment, he found that a large
percentage of them had become min
listers. In parting their old colonel
said: well, boys, if you fight the Dew
il like you fought the Yankees, there |
will be something to record on judg |
ment day"
He next became special land agent |
for the government in Colorado, and |
from 1904 to 1910 he was an attorney |
in the department of justice. The |
closing years of his life were spent |
in lecturing and authorship. His home |
lay across the Potomac, at Warren |
ton, Va but he was often seen in
Washington, his white hair, and
strong Roman features making him a
picturesque figure on the streets or
lecture platform. He had written
Mosby's War "reminiscences" "The
Dawn of the Real South" and
Stuart's Cavalry Campaign He was
also known as a Greek scholar.
MY military creed" he once de-
clared, "is this: 1t is better to make
good run than a bad stand"

c. D. P. PLAT.
FORM BRIEF,
SAYS H|LLES
ROOSEVELT A DANGEROUS FAC
TOR IN AFFAIRS OF ADMINS
TRATlON'S OPPOSITION, SAYS
LEADER.

chicago, May 0U CHAIRMAN
Charles d. Hilles of the republican
national committee today expressed
the opinion that the platform which
will be adopted by the national con-
vention next month will be unusually
brief and will deal only with the
most vital public questions. From
information obtained in talking with
party leaders on the subject he be-
lieves the principal planks in the
platform will include the following;
A statement on Americanism.
A statement on preparedness for
adequate military and naval defense.
A declaration in favor of a pro-
tective tariff to be prepared by a
non-partisan commission created by
congress with special reference to
the needs of the industries of this
country after the close of the Euro
pean war.
A declaration in favor of a mer-
chant marine.
A statement dealing with the al
legged shortcomings of the democratic
national administration.
On the question of national woman
suffrage Chairman Hilles said there
was difference of opinion among
the party leaders, and he did not
known what action the convention
would take on the subject.
The national congressional union
Is the first organization to make for
nal application to appear before the
resolutions committee of the conven-
ton It will urge the republicans to
insert plank in favor of suffrage
amendment, and Hilles has promised
hearing.
In speaking Of the probable action
of the progressive national conven-
ton to be held in Chicago in con-
nection with the republican national
convention, Chairman Hilles said;
81 imagine everybody assumes that |
the progressives will nominate Roose-
welt for president. If the republican |
convention adopts a straightforward,
sincere, ringing declaration on the !
vital questions now being discussed |
and nominates q man clearly equal |,
to the important tasks which will |
confront the next president, Roose- |
welt might not think there would be |
any need of his entering the field. |
But if the republicans nominate a |
man who Roosevelt thinks is a mis-
fortune and adopts a platform which |
he regards as bunk he may feel so
outraged as to run and perhaps re-
elect President Wilson"
Chairman Hilles denied a report |
that the organization had ever
thought of attempting to force the
of a candidate for presi- |
dent the opening day of the conven-
ton. Not until the third day, June !
9, will the nomination speech be !
reached, he said
John w. Dwight, manager of the
Elihu Root campaign, announced that |
the candidate would not come to
Chicago for the convention.
T. Coleman Du POnt of Delaware !
is expected to arrive tomorrow and
open headquarters.

Beer Shows Decrease.

Consumption of whisky, cigars, Gig
arets and tobacco has increased, ac-
cording to revenues received, while
consumption of beer has decreased
during the fiscal year For the first
ten months of the fiscal year, receipts
Of taxes on cigars. cigarets and tobac-
co increased $5,5O5,121 over the cor
responding period a year ago, due in
large part, the statement says, to the
great improvement in business condi-
tions. The statement continues:
Notwithstanding the spread of
prohibition, collections on distilled
spirits for the first ten months of the
current fiscal year increased $10,013,-
140 over the corresponding period Of
a year ago. This is due in great meas
ure to the effective enforcement of the
internal revenue taxes on distilled
spirits. II is estimated that through
the campaign of the treasury depart
ment against undergauging, equalizing
and blockading of distilleries, the rev
enue of the government has been in
creased by probably $5,OOOOOO annual
ly.
1t is estimated that expenditures
from the internal revenue appropria-
ton for the current fiscal year will
amount to $72OO,OOO; and even if the
collections amount to only S495, ,OOO,O 600
the cost of collection will be 1.45 per
cent, the lowest in the history of the
internal revenue service"
