Weldon H. Wells, former Kansas City brokers clerk, has confessed that he shot and killed Mona Byron Simon in his room in a fashionable Columbus (O.) hctel On Thursday night of last week. "She said she came from as good a family as I did and it was to just such men as me that she traced her downfall" said Wells. That angered him and he shot her. He was captured in Hunt ington, Ind. |

STATE WAR TAX
Must Be Raised BY Taxes
Next Year
CHECK SENT TUESDAY
This Is an lnstallment Toward the
Million Dollar Appropriation
Made by Vermont.
CHECK SENT TUESDAY

The selectmen Of the town Of Ben
nington yesterday sent a check for
$11.579S0 to the state treasurer This
is our first yearly installment toward
the million dollar appropriations niade
by the state OF Vermont for war ex-
penses.
Under the law this money had to
be paid on or before November fgt.
This is the fund from which the Ver-
mont volunteers are paid $40 per
manth.
There is every reason to believe
that the assessment will grow heay-.
Ter II the war lasts, for when the
legislature meets 1t is probably cer-
tain that state pay will be voted the
drafted men
The interesting thing about this
check sent to the state treasurer is
that it was not provided for by taxa
ton this year for the reason that the
state appropriation was not voted un-
I'll some time after town meetings
wero held.
This means that the town will next
year have to provide by taxes for the
s11.579.s0 and at the same time pro.
vide for next years installment
which will not be any smaller With
two OF these installments to pay In
one year 1t viii take an extra tax OF
20 cents on the dollar in addition to
the regular taxes OF the town.

CREDIT OF $3.50, 1000,

Washington, Oct. 30.--The Amer
lean Government rallied strongly to
the support of Italy By taking definite
and effective steps to support that
country in the military crisis precipi-
tated by the German invasion.
A financial credit OF s230,000,000
was granted to the Government Of
Italy by the Government OF the Unit
ed States. The size OF this credit,
which is to be utilized in the pur-
chase of coal, food stuffs, munitions
and other needed supplies. is the
most tangible evidence of the conf
dence the American Government re
poses in the ability Of the Italian
Government and people to weather
ultimately the storm that has been
sweeping across the Valley OF the
Isonzo, bringing about the collapse OF
the military front in that region.
In its effort to be Of immediate
service to italy the Government how
ever, did not stop at the granting Of
this huge credit Measures were
adopted by which the Italian Govern
ment is TO obtain the first 100000
IONS OF shipping that becomes avail
able for use in shipment of coal, fuel,
supplies and foodstuffs, as well as
munitions
Preference was granted to the Ital-
fans over the French in this allot-
ment Of shipping. The Italians, as a
result, VIII have the almost immedi-
ate use OF twenty-five vessels ayerag-
ing 1000 tons each. the first two OF
which will be available tomorrow.

Reports From BERLIN Today do MOI
Make Any Claims to Important
Further Progress.

London. Oct. 31.--The reports yes
terday from the invasion OF Italy by
Germans and Austrians were meager-
Little was made known beyond the
fact that Udine, the Italian headquart
ers and an important railway center,
had been captured.
Rome reports that the Italian arm
les were fighting rearguard actions,
the cavalry being in contact with the
invaders, and that bridges had been
destroyed in the effort to delay the
pursuit.
The Italian forces are plainly in a
crisis. They are trying to reach posi-
lions behind the Tagliamento river
and there check the rush of the
enemy forces. Whether they will
succeed may depend on the rapid
ity of the Teuton descent from the
north.
Berlin reports that everywhere
along the front OF the Carnic Alps
the Teutons have broken through in
to Venezia and if this success is not
checked the Tagliamento line would
be taken in Hank. Ihere is encour-
agement in the statement that all the
British artillery was brought off
safely.
Field Marshal Haig has again sent
forward his forces in the Ypres sec
tor on what apparently were intended
as line-straightening operations, and
again has been~ successful in gaining
the limited detectives sought. The
attacks were delivered over small
fronts in the regions of Passchen-
daele and Poelcapelle, where spurs OF
ridges and other points OF vantage
were taken. The Canadians, with
their usual brilliancy of attack. early
in the offensive gained their obiec-
tives, including Crest farm, 400 yards
from the heart OF Passchendaele,
Some of them even penetrated into
the town itself and also were close
10 the village of Goeberg, to the
north. The German official COM
munication admits that Passchen,
daele was captured, but asserts that
later the Canadians were driven out.

OF Battery d, 105th Field Artillery,
who is on trial for directing a public
whipping administered TO Private
Otto GottschallS, resumed his testi-
mony at today's session OF the court
martial and vas put through two
hour cross.examindtion during which
he denied much OF the testimony pre-
yiously given by enlisted men in the
battery. Sullivan testified that he
summoned the battery together not
to ask the mems advice on what
should be done TO Private Gottschaik
for his violation OF sanitary regula-
tions. but merely to let Gottschalk
hear what his comrades thought OF
his act
The captain swore that he had not
witnessed Gottschalk's whipping and
that he knew nothing about the al
lair until late in the afternoon.
Captain O. Richardson OF the For
mer Second, who investigated the
matter for Colonel Wingate, was call
ed TO the stand and testified that Sui

While German Hold on South
Brazil Was Gained.

washington, Oct. 30.--Count Lux
bui,, The German Charge d'Affaires
at Buenos Aires, now dismissed
whose intercepted telegram to the
German Foreign Office, sent through
the Swedish Minister to Argentina,
disclosed the German policy OF
"spurlos vorsenkt" sinking OF
merchant ships without leaving a
tract-came again into the limelight
today when Secretary Lansing gave
to the press another Luxburg dis
patch to the German Government
showing that Germany contemplated
obtaining foothold in Brazil.
The German plot to violate the
Monroe Doctrine through consolidat-
ing German settlements in the pro
vince Of Rio Grande do Sol has been
long suspected, but it took the indis-
Greet Luxburg to confirm the suspic-
ion.
Secretary Lansing's disclosure took
the form of two kilograms sent by
Count Luxburg to the Foreign Office
at Berlin from Buenos Aires. The
Secretary's hand was forced in a
measure by the statement of the
Brazilian Minister for Foreign AT
fairs this week, that Germany had
been caught in a plot to invade
Brazil. While the two Luxburg tele-
grams do not fully sustain the state
ments made by the Brazilian Minis
ter, they show that if Germany
should win the war she would turn
her attention to the Western Hemis-
phere with view to obtaining hold
there, with It's consequent menace to
the United States. That danger is
still present and, in the opinion OF
officials, furnishes a potent reason for
the most thorough American partici
patton In the war.

The Hague, Oct 30.--It is learned
from neutral traveller who has just
traversed Germany that a striking
condition there is the almost entire
absence of men at the railway sta
tions.
Women and children. with pale,
drawn faces, were doing all the work,
with the exception of few crippled
soldiers. Children were seen hauling
trucks containing baggage and goods
This is undoubtedly sign, the tray
eler believes, that Germany is using
every available man for military pur-

The main reason Of the new order
reducing civilian travelling and cur
failing all military furloughs is un-
doubtedly lack of facilities for
transportation and for supplying coal
but is also due in part to lack OF
employees Relatives are now reques-
ted not to visit soldiers stationed in

made for the Christmas holidays.
