TENER WANNTS TO
 SPLIT PIG PLUM

President John K. Tener of the National League, wants to see great. CT rivalry on the part of the players and clubs.
 He believes there should be a new plan put into operation which would give players and clubs something more to fight for than pennant and the honor of participating in the worlds series.
 Mir. Tener's plan, as placed before the National League meeting recent ly sounds feasible, and. although it will necessarily have to be sanctioned by the American League before 1t can be adopted, it is the belief among baseball men that steps will be talk en to adopt 1t.
 According to Mir Tener, the plan can be worked out through changes in the division of receipts from world series games. He suggests that the players on the winning club in the annual series be given S1,5OO each, and the players on the losing club $1,OOO each The remainder of wat ever percentage of the total receipts he agreed on for the players end could be distributed between the players of all teams in the big leagues and the sums to players graduated with respect to each teams finish in the percentage column.
 This plan, MT. Tener is confident, will provide means of increasing interest among the players. Clubs in the second division in both leagues will fight harder to finish as strong as they possibly can, and the qual- fly of baseball served to the fans will be proportionately faster, while rivalry will be uppermost.

British Headquarters in France, Oct
11.-The Germans are being hammered
hard In Flanders where the big fight
is on again. On the sector east and
northeast of Ypres, Field Marshal
flaig is battering away while French
troops have joined with the British
left wing to the south of Dixmude in
an endeavor to bring that section of
the line even with the wedge that has
been driven into the German front by
Haig east of Broodsionde.
Launching their attacks simultane-
ously both armies had made consid-
cradle gains before nightfall, in ad-
dition to inflicting heavy casualties
on the Germans and taking many pris-
oners. Prior to the announcement OF
the commencement of the attack there
had been no intimation that the
Frenchmen were ready for an advance.
In fact ii had been rather expected
that even the British commander-in-
chief would delay taking the aggres-
sixe again for several days, owing to
the terrible condition Of the ground

OF the French was over a front OF
more than a mile and half and they

Government Preparing to Con.
script Capital Following
Close of War.
BIG DEFICIT IN REVENUE
Levy on Capita VIII Make Up Vast
Shortage, According to Views of
Government Officials Who
Have Figured 1t.

London, Oct. 11.-England is pre-.
pairing 70 conscript alphabetically,
This announcement will come as a
shock for that section of America
which hates to see wealth do it's bit.
There has been a great deal of talk
about conscription of wealth in con-
nection with the war, but ii has meant
only high income taxes, excess profit
taxes and levies of that sort. The
British government today has practical
ly decided to take the next step and
levy directly on capital. Barring a
change of opinion in the meantime on
the part of those responsible for the
British financial policy such levy
will be made soon after the war ends
Most Radical Move Yet.
This, possibly the most radical finan-
cial innovation that has resulted from
the war, Is due to the conviction that
1t Is, If not the way out, at least the
best way out from under the terrific
financial burden the war will leave.
At the end of the war Great Britain
will face the necessity of providing
s2.500,0 100000 or more annual revenue.
1t will cost half that to meet the run
ming expenses of the government and
the greater part of the other half to
meet the interest on war loans. The
estimate for pensions is now $3.50 ,000,-
600 year.
Big Deficit in Revenue.
IL the present revenue OF the gov
ernment could continue after the war
and the war ended now-it would
meet the expenses outlined Last year
close to $4,000. .000, 900 was raised by
taxation. But s700, 100000 of that was
raised by the excess profits tax, which
expires with the war. Other large
additions were from taxes not expect
ed to produce in the same ratio after
the war. 1t is roughly figured that
taxation can produce $1,750, 100000
after the war, when $2,500,000 900 will
be needed.
A levy on capital will do it, in the
opinion OF government officials.
They estimate capital In private
ownership has increased in Great
Britain from $4,000, 100000 to $780,.
000,00O,000 since the war began. One
Plan is for a levy of 10 per cent OF
this-wiping out half the war debt.
The strongest argument for the plan
is that 1t would not actually diminish
the nations capital, according to its
proponents. 1t will simply transfer
ownership of part OF 1t to the state
The state would become a partner in
industries.

volved in this movement of the Or
ganized Militia are very much greater
than those in Europe, the longest run
in the German Empire, from one from

and those in France much less. The
distances travelled by the militia Or

from COS miles, in the case OF the

case of the Connecticut troops. The
majority Of these troops came from

most cases in remarkably fast time.
when it is considered that these

of from II to % cars each, and were
composed of freight, passenger and
