PRICE OF SMOKES
TO Be INCREASED
AMERICUS DEVOTEES OF THE CI-
GAZETTE, THE PIPE AND THE
CIGAR WILL PAY MORE FOR
THEIR PLEASURE.

Thee heavy hand Of war falls upon
the cigarette and pipe smokers of
Americas.
The package of cigarettes or smok-
ing tobacco you paid a nickel for
before the war" will cost you six
cents pretty soon; the package you
paid 10 cents for will cost you 12
cents; the package you paid Is cents
for will cost you Is cents.
The tax upon cigarettes is now 40
cents per thousand cigarettes, or four
tenths of one cent upon a package
Of ten cigarettes. In thirty days this
tax will go to 80 cents per thousand
cigarettes.
The tax upon smoking tobacco is
now 2 IL cents per pound, At the
end of thirty days this tax will ad-
vance to five cents per pound.
The tobacco dealers, however, do
not propose to increase the retail
price again when the tax goes up.
On the contrary, the price per pack
age will probably be reduced to the
former figure when the present stock
OF cigarettes and smoking tobacco
is exhausted, and the manufacturers
put out new supply. The tax will
be taken care of, however, by the
manufacturer reducing the size of the
package For instance, when you
again buy your five-cent package OF
cigarettes you will find only eight
cigarettes in the package instead OF
ten.
Although there is a war tax now
effective upon cigars, the retail deal
ers decided not to increase the price
of cigars. 1t was explained that the
margin of profit is so small in cigar
cites that it was necessary to increase
the price per package until the size
Of the package is reduced, but that
the retailers get sufficient profit out
of the sales of cigars to absorb the
Increased cost due to the tax.
The tax upon cigars is as follows
Cigars retailing at 4 to cents, tax
Isl per thousand; cigars retailing al
from I to 10 cents, tax SO per thou
sand cigars retailing at from 10 to
20 cents, s. per thousand
These prices are not effective yet
bue viii go into operation at an early
date.

PARIS THEATRE MANAGERS
GET EVEN FOR CRITICISMS

PARIS, Oct. S.-One of the Small
Paris theatres has set about proving
that dramatic critics are not infallible.
Every evening be fore the rise of the
curtain on an adversely criticised
but no less successful play, the irate
manager appears, bearing a bundle
of newspapers, from which he reads
the choicest condemnatory excerpts.
Having thus stated the newspaper
view of his play, he leaves the rest
of the ejudgment of the audience,
which, in most cases, proves highly
favorable to author. actors and man

The imperial chancellor, Dr. Mich

the critics of the government in the
reichstag. Whether as has been

scheme of annexation and 1ndemni-

the reichstag debate.
DR.. Michaelis on Saturday sent MIN
lister of the Interior Helferich before
the reichstag to make statement on
his behalf. HeIferich failed to mellify
the critical members of the reichstas
and the sitting was adjourned to today
after the vice chnacellor's speech had
been interrupted General con Stein
the war minister, was jeered when he
attempted to explain the army's side
of the accusation that the high COM
mand was using very strong methods
to help the Pan-eGrman agitation.
Former Chancellor ven Bethmann-
Hollweg, some months before his res
ignation, had test of strength with
Admiral Won Tirpitz, the reputed or
ganizer of ruthless submarine warfare
and the chancellor won The admiral
since has been busy, and the new
fatherland party, of which he is one
OF the sponsors, according to recens

German people into two camps on the

HardWiCk Peeved;
w i'll Not Return
JIrNIOR SENATOR MAD BECAUSE
INVITATIONS TO SPEAK IN
GEORGIA ARE CANCELLED TO
STAY IN WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. S.-Sena-
tor T.. w. Hardwick left Washing
ton for the west Saturday afternoon,
ae member of the government pneu-
matte tuAe commission. He was tingl-
ing with indignation at the action OF
the Greater Savannah Commercial club
in asking for his expulsion from the
senate; at the action of the grand
Jury at Millen, which scored him bit
terly for his anti-administration views,
and at the action of the authorities in
recalling the invitation to speak at the
fair at Eastman.
Asked whether he would take notice
Of the action Of the Millen grand jury,
no affirmative reply could be secured,
and nothing else was forthcoming as
to the Savannah club matter in addi-
tion to the statement which Senator
Hardwick gave out yesterday,
During the forenoon and up tot the
time he left for Chicago, it was easy
to he seen that the senator had been
rubbed the wrong way.
1t is likely that since the Eastman
invitation has been withdrawn and
Senator Hardwick has been attacked
at Milien, at both of which places he
,ras hooked to spea kthis month, he
will return to Washington from the
west anad not go to Georgia.

GERMANY NOW ON EVE OF INTERNAL CRISIS
CHICAGO WINNER
OF SECOND HALF
NEW YORK EASILY DEFEATED IN
SUNDAY CONTEST-NEXT GAME
WILL BE PLAYED IN NEW YORK
TOMORROW.

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-The Chicago
American league ball machine rolled
half way to victory in the worlds Sc
ries clash with the New York Ma
tionals yesterday when the White Sox
defeated the Giants { to in the sec
ord aame of the titular struggle. The
teams speeded eastward last night for
the Polo grounds, where on Tuesday
the series will be resumed, and if the
LEGAL team continues to play the type
of game it has displayed heree, sup
porters of the Comiskey clan are con-
vinced that the Sox should at least
break even with the Giants in the
neext two contests at New York.
The White Sox rolled over the
Giants yesterday like a baseball Jug
gernaut, leaving disaster and dismay
in their wake. The second victory in
two days was far more impressive
tllan the win of Saturday. when the
teams left the field, the Chicago club
being surcharged with confidence
while the New York combination was
badly shattered, both physically and in
morale.
Giants Use Four Pitchers.
The National league champions were
obliged to use no fewer than four
pitchers, and at the close of the sec
ond day of play, the White Sox had
sampled, with satisfactory results from
their standpoint, the service of five Of
the seven hurlers who form the
twirling corps of the Giants. Only
Benton and Demaree remain unscorch-
ed, and it will be a problem for Man
ager McGraw to select a pitcher who
can hold the Chicago batters in check
even on the home diamond.
Both at the bat and in the field, the
White Sox maintained the impressive
advantage which they showed in the
opening game The offensive and de
fensive methods and play of the Amer
lean league standard-bearers was fal
superior to that shown by the New
York club, and in no department oi
