DECLARES GERMANY

NATIONAL GUARD
UNITS FROM EAST
IS 600 MEN SHORT
OF $4,000 Men Now on Duty at
Border More Than Half Are
from New York and
Pennsylvania.

New York. Aug. 13.-The National
ment of the army. which were called
into the federal service by the Presi-
dent. are more than $4,000 men short
or war strength. The war strength Of
the eastern department units Is 81, t5j
men, and the number of mon now on
the border or in camps in the various
States included in the department is
about $4,000
The above figures re official and arc
based upon the reports of regular army
officers on duty in the eastern depa rt-
ment. OF the $4,000 men from this de-
partment now on the border more than
one-half come from the States Of New
York and Pennsylvania. Nine States in
the department, up to tho present time,
have not sent a single soldier to the
Rio Grande.
The problem of recruiting the addi-
tional 4S.332 men needed to bring the
units to war strength Is the one which
now confronts the recruiting officers Of
the National Guard. Recruiting is said
to be practically at a standstill, and
there are few officers of either tho
regular army or the National Guard
who believe that the fun quota of 49,
600 can be obtained under the situation
as it now exists.
Since the troop movements toward
the border began 1854 recruits have
been sent to the front. or these 7J4
went to the Connecticut units, Nassa-
chusetts sent 2.251. New York 761 and
New Jersey 9S. About 100 other re-
cruits will start to-day Cor McAllen to
join various New York units.
There is serious shortage in animals.
New York went to the front with g. "a
horses and mules, by far the create st
number taken South by the troops of
any State. Pennsylvania, whose units
require almost as many animals as
those of New York, went to the horde r
with only 60 animals, while Massa-
chusetts had only 2S9. one horse ac-
companied the Delaware contingent to
the front; MarYlanders had Is animals;
New Hampshire eight horses; New Jcr-
sey 329 horses and mules; Rhode Islund
1852; Virginia, l2 horses and mules.
Since the arrival Of the units NJ tho
border this situation has, however,
been somewhat rectifed. although the
units are. as a whole. still far short of
the animal equipment needed.

NEWS PRINT PAPER
CRISIS WILL Be
REACHED IN OCT.
So Federal Trade Commission
Representatives, Not to
BE Published for Sew
eral Weeks.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ~ The crisis in the
news print paper situation, whicn al
ready has cut down newspaper profits
enormously will not be reached till late
October when contracts come up for re-
newal, according to reports received by
tho federal trade commission. The presi-
dental election, together with the Eu~
ropean war is expected to increase an
already unparalleled demand for news
print which manufacturers tell the trade
commission they will hardly be able to
meet. This year for the first time they
have not been able to lay up a large
reserve during the summer.
The trade commissions report on It's
investigation OF news print prices, It was
announced to-day, would he published not
later than October regardless of whether
Congress still ia in session. Probably a
brief extract will be given out two weeks
beforehand, SUMMARIZING the findings AS
vet tho mass of material has not been
sufficiently digested for officials to in

Tho great question In deciding whether
there has been collision among the manu-
facturers to boost prices unduIy Is said to
he whether the increased demand for pa
per has been entirely disproporuonate Ia
the increased production. Manufacturers
claim that publishers are using ~ per cent.

however. vary widely. O. f. steele. sec

The initial registrations was disappc

two weeks, but to-day has shrunk 70
half the original number, which, in ,
of the fact that the municipal food is

80 Democratic Caucus Decides
Same Body Also Agrees to
Raise S2O,OOO,OOO by a Cor
pOration Stock License Tax.
REVENUE BILL CHANGES
Caucus Is the First One Ever
Held on Sunday and Its Five
Hour Session Is a Stormy One
Senator Lewis Proposes
That Revenue Bill BE Held Up.

Washington, Aug. IA corporation
stock license tax to raise approximately
100000, 900, elimination Of most of the
objectionable stamp taxes which once
had been accepted, and approval with
an amendment. of the proposed net
profit tax on munitions manufacturers
were determined on by the democratic
state caucus tonight after stormy
hve-hour debate on the revenue bill
As approved. the section relating to
munitions provides that net profit tax
of ten per cent. be levied on manu-
facturers Of all munitions of war, and
that a five per cent tax be levied on
manufacturers of materials which en-
ter into such munitions. The estimated
loss of revenue due to the five per
cent. reduction will he about $1,000. 600.
To make up for this decrease and
also to make possible elimination of
proposed stamp taxes, against which
a fierce storm was gathering not only
I'm the caucus, but in the House, Sena-
tor simmons suggestion of a license
tax of 80 cents on each $1,000 of CAPT
tai stock undivided profits and surplus
of all corporations, 100000 of the stock
of each corporation to be exempted.
was incorporated into an amendment
and unanimously approved. The tax
would apply to all corporations, in
Guiding banks, having capital and sur
plus in excess Of 100000.
Senator Lewis stirred the causus
which was the first to meet on Sunday
within the memory Of any senator by
introducing resolution to postpone
action on the revenue bill until the
next session of Congress and to direct
an issue of Panama canal bonds to
meet expenses of government up to
that time. No vote was taken on the
resolution which was supported by
Senators Marine. Hardwick and Under
wood in debate.

had been standing there for a consd
cradle length of time. and Mrs. Trudo
did not see the approaching machine
when she attempted to cross the high
