the Rpichstag last Friday after Count
Won Rocdern, secretary Of the lmper-

chamber the new war credit bill lor
1000, 900, 900 marks. The speech was
4 strong indictment Of those in Ger
many who, in Herr Bernstein's view
were responsible for the continuation
of the wal.
Herr Bernstein. who was repeated
" interrupted and called To order by
Dr. Herman S. Paache. vice president
of the Reichstag, said, according 10
the report of the proceedings printed
by the FOrwaerts, that he knew OF nu-
merouS instances, although Count Won
Roedern had stated 10 the contrary,
Of severe pressure being eXerted in
many quarters with the object Of OBJ
tanning money for the war loan. The
speaker said the principal big sub,
scribers were public institutions
seriously endangered by their sub
loan, although only five percent. did
not remove The fact that the rates OF
private interest are enormously
higher.
The Vorwaerts says the speaker
then attacked the governments at
tempts TO secure a separate peace
with Russia, declaring that such at,
templs in bis view were both dishon-

Germany" Herr Bernstein is quot

her readiness for an armistce as Il
preliminary to general European
congress which would arrange a peace

Herr Bernstein declared, still ac-
cording TO the Eorwaerts, that the
great masses Of all nations have no

the comparatively small minority
which have inflated differences. TO
expect that the bombing OF open

How the People HaveBeen Benefited

One of the greatest achievements OF the Repuolcan
narv of West Virginia was the passage of laws which put
on the tax books corporate property that under Democratic
rule had evaded their proper share of the tax burden Inc
figures given below show wherein the benefits have accrued
to the different counties districts and municipalities by
comparing the amount of public utilities refunded
in 1896 the year of Democratic domination with the
sum- refunded 1885, the result of Republican legsla
ton Ibis comparison speaks volumes The last year OF
the last Democratic refunded to the countless
districts and municipalities only 33358190 while in 1916
the present Republican administration refunded the hand
some total of So 1862, ,522.33.
It was not until 1905 that the reform tax laws of the
Republican party put the statute books IN spite OF
determined Democratic opposition taxing the railroads and
other public utilities which had escaped bearing their share
through their domination of the Democratic party These
taxes are assessed and collected by the State and the pro
rata share is returned the countless districts and muni

the total to eighteen. For all practl-
cal purposes, however, the state Will
be dry before tomorrow night as the
liquor houses are rapidly disposing OF
their stocks No liquor can be shipped
after Tuesday and the carriers have
served notice that none will be re-

Therefore little will remain for sale

Although the law makes the pos

prima facie evidence OF intent TO vlo-

laid in by individuals. This feature OF
the law, it is expected, will soon meet
with a test in court.

BAILEY INSISTS
POSTSCRIPT STORY
IS ENTIRELY TRUE

BOSTON, Oct. ga rc-aiirmation
OF the truth of his statement that lien,
nv Breckinridge. former Assist Secre-
tary of War, had told him that Presi-
dent Wilson hal eliminated Il post
script from the second LuSltanla note,
after several members OF his cabinet
threatened 10 resign If it were lnclud-
ed, was made to-day by DR.. Charles H..
Bailey, a professor 1T the Tufts medic

DR. Bailey was quoted last night in
a letter read at a political meeting in
SOn:erville by Senator Lodge as hav-
ing had a conversation with Mr.. Breck-
inridge on train from San Francisco
last July, in which the former Oa-
sistant Secretary of War made the al
legged assertion regarding the post
script.
According to statement issued by
the Republican State Committee, Dr..
Bailey replied tonight TO an inquiry
he has received from tho Philadelphia
Public Ledger, that his letter as read
by Senator Lodge was "a fair and not
at all eXaggeraLed' story Of his con-
yersation with Breckinridge. The
committees statement added:
"Dr. Bailey said in his reply that he
expected there would be denialS all
around, but that he affirmed the truth
of his letter, and called attention to
the fact that Breckinridge had made
no denial of the most important tea,
ture of the letter, which said that
President Wilson. without tho knuwl'
edge Of any member of his cabinet eA-
ccpt Secretary Bryan. had added a
postscript to the Lusitania note. say
ing that the German government was
not to put too serious an interpreta-
1ion on the words omit no word or

"Dr. Bailey was introduced to Mr..
breckenridge on the train. He had
never seen the gentleman before, he
said, but finding they were occupying
compartments in the same sleeping
car naturally cOnvCrSed considerably
with him on the way east. This talh
on politics did not occur until the sec
ond day after they left San Francisco.

By PROFESSOR DoOLITTLE Of the University of PennsyIvania

During the past month we have seen the complete withdrawal of the sum 'mer groups, Libra and Scorpio, from our evening heavens. The bright Arc turus has sunk below the ground in the west, while the interesting. though faint, groups of the Serpent and the Archer have both partly disappeared. Meanwhile the Royal Star, Formalhut, has been mounting steadily higher in the southern sky until now 1t is but a short distance to the east of the meridian, while above it there shines out the Great Square of Pegasus and the large, bright group of Andromeda, near which latter constellation both Cassiopeia and Perseus are now seen high in the northeastern sky. In the extreme north the Great Dipper has now sunk completely below the pole and rests in an upright position a short distance above the ground.
 The bright, golden sun Capella has again appeared in the northeast, but most interesting of all is the entrance into our evening heavens if the great froup Taurus with it's two wonderful, though scattered, little clusters if the Pleiades and the Hyades.

On an ordinarily clear night six stars can be seen with the naked eye (though some observers fdetect several more), but telescope of but one-inch aper- ture will show at lesst as many as are indicated in Figure62, while no less than 2O00 are revea ed on the delicate photographic plate.
