GERMAN EMPIRE FACES
NEED Of NEW TAXATION
Secretary Of Imperial Treasury Has
Not Announced Proposed
Sources.

BERLIN, via London, January 10
The announcement by DR.. Karl Helf-
ferich. secretary of the imperial treas
ury, of the forthcoming new taxation
measures, necessary to secure a balance
in the ordinary budget of the empire,
has not yet been followed by any au-
thentic. information concerning the ma
ture OF. the new taxes and the amount
necessary to be raised. This problem
apparently has not been settled even in
the ministry itself, and no proposals
have yet been submitted to the budget
committee of the reichstag.
Direct Taxation Unlikely.
Certain declarations from financial
authorities of the individual states of
the empire and other intimations ap-
pearing In the newspapers indicate that
the empire probably will not attempt to
invade the field Of direct taxes, which.
under the German taxation system, has
been regarded as the exclusive prov
ince of the federal states, both Saxon
and Bavarian finance departments hav-
ing come out with the fat declaration
that such a project cannot be enter
tanned. Both these states. which, after
Prussia, are the most important In the
empire, go on record as not opposed
to the establishment of government
m~onopolies, n probably this will be
the method adopted.
A second expedient may be in the
raising of contributions by individual
states toward the imperial expenses.
although the sum which could be raised
thereby would not be proportionately
large.
"Tax on Trade" Suggested.
Secretary Helfferich intimated in the
reichstag hat resort would probably
be taken to indirect taxes n taxes
on trade" The financial writer's as
sumo that under the first category
would come excise and taxes on arti-
cles of luxury. but the proposed tax on
trade remains an unknown quantity.
The mere suggestion that a tax on tele-
grams may be intended is sufficient to
evoke strong criticism from the news
papers, already growing under the
weight of the war service.
The secretary's proposals probably in
clude some measures not mentioned un
to the present, since the sources above
detailed would not be sufficient to raise
the extra revenue needed. The interest
service alone on the new war debt en-
braced by the three war loans and out
standing treasury certificates at 5 per
cent calls for 1900. 900. 900 marks, or. If
the war credits are voted in the reichs-
tag. o 1000. 000, 900 may be taken as the
basis.

BANDITS STAY 100
WOMEN AND BABES

Laredo, Tex. Nov. 16.--An indis-
criminate massacre of nearly 100
women, children and Carranza SOL
diers. who were travelling on a train
near Contreras, State of Morelos,
which was attacked by Zapata fol-
lowers, is reported in a Mexico City
newspaper received here to-day.
After the attack on the train the
dead lay in piles beside the cars. the
papers state.
Only one person, so far as known,
escaped death at the hands of the
brigands. He was Captain Antonio
priegos.
The attack took place November
{. The passenger train, conveyed
by a military train eight kilometers
in advance, was halted in a noun
tain wilderness after the military
train had been allowed to pass I'M
molested.
For 10 minutes the Zapatistas
kept up the slaughter, Staying men
and women who prayed for mercy
and killing the babies-who accom-
panied their mothers, the papers de-
clare.
Soldiers aboard the passenger
train were without their accoutre-
ments and unable to offer any resist
ance.
Among the list Of dead given in
the Mexican City papers is the name
of Colonel Garido Alfaro, two Ma
jors and three Captains.
When a relief train reached the
scene of the attack, several hours af-
ter it took place, the Zapatistas had
scattered into the hills. They had
looted the express car of its valua-
blcs before departing.

REMNANTS TO BE
AWARDED TO WINNERS

With the opening of the Red
Cross Seal Sale to-day, every State
and thousands of cities, towns and
villages are entering competition
to see who will sell the most seals
per capita for the prevention of tu-
berculosis in their communities.
Over 30O,OO0,O00 seals have been
distributed for the sale.
The cities, towns and villages
have been divided into 10 classes, ac-
cording to population, ranking from
500 tu 100000 and over. Pen
nants will be awarded by the Ameri-
can Red Cross and The National As
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis in each of the
classes. Similar pennants will be
awarded to States selling the most
seals per inhabitant, the States be-
ing divided into three classes ac-
cording to population.
Last year Hershey, Pa. sold more
seals per capita than any other city
or town in the United States, reach
ing a total of 1904. In Rhode Is
land. 229 seals per capita were
purchased by the people of the
State, record sale among the
States.
In addition to the pennants, a
special honor certificate will be
awarded to any community which
sells five or more seals per inhabi-
tant. 1t is hoped that this rivalry
among cities and States will stimu-
late the sale of Christmas seals to
100, 900 600. This will mean ST.
OO0.O for the fight against tuber-
culosis in the United States.

WILSON EXPRESSES HIS
GRATITUDE TO WEST

Washington. Nov. 16.-President
Wilson expressed his gratitude to
the people of the West for their sup
port in the election in messages sent
tonight in reply to requests that he
visit that section before Congress
opens. He said he would be unable
to make the trip at present because
of critical duties, but promised to go
West later If possible.
The President sent the following
telegram to William II. King, sue
cessful candidate for the United
States Senate from Utah:
THE invitation to visit the West
tugs hard at my heart because feel
deeply grateful to all the West for

WILSON'S ENORMOUS GAINS.

The vote on Tuesday is an amaz-
ing revelation of the personal popu-
larity of Woodrow Wilson. Con-
sidering the vote of preceding years,
his gains in 1915 are wonderful.
Mr.. Wilson received 1.025, 900
more votes this year than in 1912.
He has received more votes than
were ever before cast for a Demo
crat. His vote is $4,000 larger
than the largest vote received by
Mr.. Bryan, which was in 1895.
Mr.. Wilson has received only $780,
900 votes less than were received by
Roosevelt and Taft combined in
1908, while Mr.. Hughes vote is
100000 less.
No President upon his reelection
ever made such a gain as Mr.. Will
son has made. Lincoln gained $780,
600; Grant, $4,000 Cleveland,
$4,000 Mckinley, 100000, and
Wilson, LOIS, 200.
Roosevelt carried az states
in 1914. Taft carried thirty-one In
1908, and Wilson has carried thirty
one and possibly thirty-two.
Every State South lof the Ohio
and west of the Mississippi except
three has been carried by Wilson.
He is the first candidate since 1868
to carry the Presidency without the
help of New York.
The population of the States car
ried by Wilson was 45,737,696 in
The population of the States
carried by Hughes was 45,901,7S9.
The apparent discrepancy between
population and popular vote is ex-
planned by the woman vote in sew
eral States.-[ Washington Post.

BORDER PATROL WORK
ORDERED TO Be ENTERED
Kentuckians Will Go On Out
Post Duty In a
Few Days.

FL Paso, Tex, Nov. 15.-The
Kentucky troops at FL Paso will
soon begin a tour of border patrol
duty which will alternately take the
three regiments of Gen Williams
brigade to the line of outposts which
extend from Las Cruces, n. NJ, to
Fort Hancock, Tex. II is probable
that the First Kentucky will be the
first assigned to this duty, which re-
quires a high degree of watchfulness
at some of the stations, as they are
near the Rio Grande at points where
raids have occurred in the past.
great deal of trouble with Mex
lean bandits has occurred near Mt.
Hancock, and the company which
will draw this post must needs be
on the alert at all times. The Texas
end of the line of outposts extends
from the city of FL Paso through
the thickly populated valley to FIT.
Hancock, a stretch of territory
which would provide excellent loot
for a band of successful raiders.
In New Mexico the line of out
posts extends northward through
the Mesilla Valley to Las Cruces, a
distance of fifty miles. The New
Mexico outposts are well removed
from the border, but as there are
hundreds of former Villistas work.

ranches of Americans the Govern
ment deemed II advisable to station
soldiers through it to prevent posi-
bic trouble. The outpost line is APP
proximately 100 miles long and all
Of it is we'll guarded. This is the
york which the Kentucky regiments
will be called upon to perform, be-
ginning on December Is. Each reg
iment will have fifteen days of this
duty.
FL Paso has had several days of
freezing weather, but as all of the
men in the Kentucky camps have
extra blankets and are well suppl
cd with warm clothing. including the
big heavy overcoats, there has been
no suffering. Each tent in the bril-
gade is supplied with stove. Thous-
ands of cords of firewood are con-

regiments have completed their tar
get practice and have settled down
to a routine of company drills.
In few days they will begin field

squads and companies, range-firing
and distance work.
