When the matter was brought to the

ended.
The correspondent of the Beriiner
Tageblatt a short time ago created a
sensation by avoiding all censorship of
an interview which he had had with
King Constantine. Although the mon
arch had made il condition of his re-
ceiving the German journalist that
there be no interview, the Berlin CORE
spondent was altogether too delighted
with what he heard on tha-occaSion OF
his first meeting with the Greek soy
ereign to resist temptation. But he
was too wiley to try to send his mes-
sage out by telegraph and risk its mu-
tilation at the hands of Ministers
Skouloudis. Rhallys and Gounaris; so
he sent it out by post, under cover OF
the German legation pouch, and when
it was finally published there was con-
sternation in Greece. Since that incl
dent Constant of Greece has stead
lastly refused to be directly quoted by
any one for publication, and has re-
ceived only one journalist, a man in
whom he has great confidence.

Thirty States, Cuba and Porto

First Convention.
ASSOCIATIONS PRESIDENT
DEMANDS "sQUARE DEAL"
Jacob Wertheim Protests Against
Additional Taxes-Dinner and
Speeches Tonight.

Thirty states. Cuba and Porto Rico
were represented by more than 300
delegates who took their seats at the
first annual convention of the Tobacco
Merchants Association of the United
States, called to order by George l..
Storm chairman of the convention
committee. at the New Willard Hotel
at 1890 o'clock this morning.
Among the more important matters
to be considered at the two-day ses-
sions will be devising ways and means
to improve conditions in the tobacco
industry and the formulation of new
on the part of all identified with the
industry.
The principal address of the morning
was delivered by Jacob Wertheim,
president, following an address Of vel
come by oliver P. Newman, president
of the board of Commissioners of the
District of Columbia. which was re-
sponded to by Charles Dushkind, intro
duced by Mr.. Storm as he who built

bacco industry was voiced by Mr..
Wertheim. In this connection the
speaker referred to proposed anti-to-
bacco legislation in the various states.
including restrictions against smoking.
which. he said, if enacted, would re-
suit in unnecessary loss of business to
the industry.
Mr.. Wertheim protested against the
proposal to levy additional taxes on
tobacco, and contended that the in
dustry already is taxed to the limit.
Statistics were presented to show that
additional burdens in the way of taxes
would virtually amount to confisca-
ton of property.
The president devoted considera Bile
space in his address to alleged tobacco
cures and of the legal steps being
taken by the association to prosecute
these frauds.

Rhallys Also Has a Say.

But though bearing the premier s rcd
penciled authorization, the message is
by no means sure to go Former Pre-
mier and present Minister of Communi-
cations Rhallys also has a say about it.
He does not always agree with his col
leagues, and if he does not. the sigma
.ure of the regular censor becomes
meaningless. No one sees Mr.. Rhallys'
censor The messages are sent to INN,
he works his will with them, and they
are returned There is no appeal and
no possibility of explanation or altera-
ton.
But former Premier Demetrios Gou-
naris has no great faith in the JuGg
ment of either of his colleagues. He is
minister of interior, and as such IS
head of all the police. and of the secret
police in particular, and any messages
rejecting on him fail to arrive II their
destination. And requests for lnvest-
cation prove fruitlesS waste of effort.
In the matter of royal messages. in
terviews with his majesty. the King OF
the HelleneS. or dispatches in which
the opinions of Constantine are cited
or referred to there is still another
censorship-that of Count Mercati,
grand master of ceremonies of the
court of Greece. kilograms Of this ma
ture are referred to the king himself,
and on his approval of them. Count
Mercati initials each page and writes
a note at the bottom directing the tele
graph authorities to pass the message
by order of the king.

ATHENS, Greece, May 2.-It has been
one of the revealing circumstances of
the political situation in Greece since
the formation of the Skouloudis minis
try that the censorship of press ca BILE

only rigid, but double and sometimes
triple. There has been no censorship

To jealousy and mutual mistrust
among members of the cabinet is at
tributed the manifold censorship of
cablegrams. Four former premiers sit
in the present ministry, held together
solely by their common hatred of Neni-
zelos and their desire to keep him out
of office.
Premier Skouloudis, as minister for
foreign affairs, exercises the ostensible

Industry Not Greedy, He Says.

'rhe tobacco industry is not greedy,
he said, lit is not avaricious. 1t al
WAYS has given up twice the amount
of its aggregate profits as taxes to the
government. and it made no protest
when, two years ago. the government
added a substantial war revenue to the
ALREADY onerous burdens that it car
RED But we must protest against any
additional taxation. as this would lead
to smaller packages and consequent
diminution o. the volume of business.
Thus the consumer would get less for
his money. the farmer would sell less
of his crop and the government
through the reduction of its sale of
revenue stamps, would come out loser
in the end
Mr. Wertheim announced that the
association had affiliated with eight
trade bodies, including the Tobacco
Salesman's Association. Tobacco Trades
Association of Massachusetts,. Louis

marks; DR.. w. w. Garner. on tobacco
and it's science; f. G. Beinhart. on de-

Tobacco Tax, $40, 900, 900.

On the question OF taxation. which.
he declared was of vital importance
to the industry, Mr.. Wertheim said
that the tobacco men of the country
paid annually about s1lo,0oo.ooo. or
about one-seventh of the aggregate
revenue of the government from all
sources In view of this fact, he con-
tended there was no reasonable eX-
cuse for additional taxation. as is pro-
posed.
Tobacco, if a luxury. continued Mr.;
Wertheim lis a necessary luxury ana
is already taxed to the limit beyond
which it would amount virtually TO the
confiscation of our property. In this
country 100000 people use tobacco IN
one form or another. There are ~
sTe retailers who sell it, $4,000 manu-
features are in business. 1000 farmers
raise, 1o5, coo acres are devoted to the cui-
ture Of tobacco l15 900 wage earners work
in tobacco. s75.00O 900 is paid annually to
toilers and sllO.000.000 is annually paid In
taxes by tobacco men,.
Mr.. Wertheim then proceeded to say
that it would seem most fitting that the
heaviest burden of taxation SHOULD OF
right be borne by those who are max
ing millions out of the war. rather than
bv those whose business has suffered
by reason of the war. He said that a.
most every commodity has increased
in price, the prices of tobacco products
remain the same as before The war.

TIE RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE
Claim Of invariahie successes Made at
Petrograd.

Claim OF ii1Variabie successes Made at
Petrosrad.
While admitting that it is not yet
clear whether the fighting in progress
south of Dvinsk signifies a general
advance of the Russian troops in that
section or whether II is intended as a
demonstration to attract German
forces from the Franco-German front,
says dispatch from Petrograd, the
Russian military critics emphasize
what they term the universal success
of the attacks during the last few
days, the viciousness of which is
pointed to as being sufficient TO have
made an impression upon the German
general staff.
The Russian troops are operating
in three groups, covering a front of
70 miles, but the severest fighting is
reported to have occurred in the Vi
cinity of Lake Narocz, where the Rus
slams drive carried them through
three miles of German trenches heay-
lily protected by wire entanglemen
The Russians resorted to their favor
lite method, bayonet fighting. routing
the Germans in spite of desperate re-
sistance, and capturing more than q
dozen machine guns and other booty.
The Germans are invariably coun-
tering the Russian attacks by adyanc-
ing at other sections of the line, bur
from all appearances, according to
the military observers, the Teutonic
efforts lack coordination and it is GER
tain that in spite of the concentration
of recent additional troops In this vi.
cinity the Russians checked any plans
their adversaries may have had for
concerted offense there The German
strength was estimated last autumn
to be eight corps of infantry and sew
eral cavalry divisions in these regions,
but these have been considerably aug
mented.
An important success is recorded on
the Galician front, where the Rrs-
slams captured the crossing of the
Dniester at Mikhaltche. The Austrian
official communication is cited in ref
trence to this vi2t Try, as it is admit
TED that the Austrians were obliged t.
abandon the POSITION following six
months defense after the fortifcatio1s
had been reduced by the Russian ar
