LET RICH PAY FOR
 WAR'-LA TOILETTE
(Continhed from First Page.)

income of all the people of the country estimated at thirty-eight billion dol lars, will not equal the money cost of the second year of this war. We must face these facts and realize the true sign of our financial policy by an ade- quate and just system of taxation at the beginning"
 By keeping down taxes and increas- ing bonds Senate. La Toilette said the masses are being "mortgaged to the money lenders" Italy on Eve of Revolution.
 Loans to the Allies, he said, may and may not be repaid, certainly not for many years after the war. Rus sla, he said, is in the throes Of reVo- lut1on and "Itaiy, if reports are cor rect, is on the eve of one."
 Even England and France" he added, twill be in no position to re- pay loans for a long time and if this war should last for several years what political transformation may occur in any country in Europe no one can foretell.'
 Tn conclusion Senator La Toilette said:
 Always remember that the high pTlC0S dIoaOy upon us nave IdAcu 'AAS common people of this country for the support of this war to a much greater extent than the wealthy class would be taxed If every dollar of income of. the members of that class were taken by taxation. When bread lines shall be familiar sight in every city of this land, as they are bound to be if the present price of the simple necessaries of life Is maintained during the com ing winter when cold and hunger are daily visitors in many thousands Of homes which have known only com fort heretofore, a condition certain to exist during the coming winter months unless relief from present prices can be found, it will be small satisfaction, I think, to the members of this con- gress to realize that they have contrib uted to the want and suffering of the mass of people by refusing to place even an approximately fair portion ot the financial burden of this war upon the rich.'

NAVY LEAGUE WILL
 FOIL MIR. DANIELS
Arrangements Made to Deliver
 Gifts to Enlisted Men.

1 Washington, Aug. 21.-Despite the or i der of Josephus Daniels, the Secretary ] of the Navy, barring any representa- l tive or officer of the Navy League from 1 naval stations or ships, the organiza. | ton will continue the relief work it has been doing.
 Over the signature of Colonel Rob- ert M. Thompson, instructions were sent out to those who have been con- tributing to the work, notifying them l that arrangements had been made for the delivery of garments to the men on the naval vessels. The statement issued by the league, including the letter of Colonel Thomp- son, follows:
 ITO the Comforts Committee of the Navy League, the Women's sec
 tion of the Navy League and the Daughters of the American Revo-
 1ution:
 Secretary Daniels, in a notice to the public, states that he has directed that no officer, agent or representa- tive of the Navy League will be ad- mitted to any naval station, naval res- ervation or ship in the navy depart ment and that the navy department will not permit the acceptance of any thing whatever from the Navy League.
 ''You have already furnished 15O,- 900 knitted garments for the men of our navy. Certain sections have con- tributed 30,000 garments for the men of the British, French and Russian navies.
 Tt is absolutely unimportant through what channels the garments reach the seamen, but 1t is important that they shall receive them.
 T therefore request and direct that for the present, and in default of other instructions by the Navy de- partment, you send the garments in- tended for the men of the United States Navy to Mrs. James Carroll Frazer, No. 1916 Sixteenth street, Washington, D. C., who, acting as an individual, will secure the delivery of the garments to the ships that you may designate.
 "Our allies are pressing us to SUD- ply them with additional garments for their sailors. Such of your as are willing to work for the Allies will please divide your shipments into two parts, sending one part to the Comforts committee of the Navy League, Washington, D. C., for de- livery to the Allies; the other part going to Mrs. Frazer for the men of our navy.
 we will continue to furnish you with knitting instructions, pictures, samples of wool, etc, and we will act for you in purchasing wool All officers of the league will act in their personal capacities in helping tho work.
 Remember that the Navy League stands for loyalty and patriotic en- deaVor and do not for one moment slacken in the work that you have done for our seamen, and please ac- cept my assurance that there is no foundation for the charges made against the Navy League by Secre- tary of the Navy Daniels.
 Cordially yours,
 ISigned) ROBERT M. THOMPSON,
 President Navy League"

CkRTOONIST'S RISE TO FAME
Louis Raemekers Probably the Best
Known OF Artists Who Teach
With the Pen

Hidden away in an obscure studio
in n London suburb, with price upon
his head Offered by Germany Louis
RaCmekers has made the whole world
shudder with his cartoons OF the great
war.
y year and half ago he was an IN
known Dutch landscape artist. To
day lie is acclaipcd the greatest mas
ter of pen and pencil OF the age: he
has been feted by royalty. sought by
German spies and charged with endan-
gcring Dutch neutrality. BY the usu-
ally reserved and frequently skeptical
Eng!ishman he is frankly idolized
and all because he has pictured Ger
man "kulture' and its dire effects.
lis cartoons are now the rage Of
the hour in New York where an exhib-
, it Of originals is being given for the
benefit Of the French Red Cross.
Louis Racmekers was born in IIol-

Brussels, and before the war began

who know him that he has no inter

HOUSE THAT WAS DIFFERENT
Actress Who "Roae From Ranks"
Earned the Bungalow She Built
for Her Mother.

The carpenters and masons were at
work, and under their quick, skillful
hands lumber and stone became a
house. Passersby saw in the structure
only Il dwelling place, an attractive
little bungalow to be sure, but no dif-
ferent from thousands of other struc-
tpyes of its kind Then one day an
old woman, her fine cloak contrasting
strangely with her tired face and he1
toil-w0rn hands, came TO ncte the prog
re>S of the artisans.
With her was a young woman, and
everyone who saw her said that heI
face was so familiar Who was shei
Hadn't her picture often appeared in
newspapers and magazines? Finally
someone remembered and told some
one else about it. The girl was one
of number of children. Her parents
were poor. She went to work for a
littance while Sho was still child.
It WAS evident that she had dramatic
ability, and one day She was given q
chance to show what she could do.
She made her dreams come true. She
rose in her profession. Her ability
was recognized and rewarded. And
then the first thing she did was TO
| buiid for her mother q comfortable
home. She admitted that she was in
| crdInately proud of the house, and
| everyone declared that she had every
right to be. And they all looked at the
| house with new understanding, realiz'
ing that it was more thap an "attrac,
tive bungalow, but no different from
| others of its kind. '-Milwaukee Jour
