C0VSCR|PT WEALTH !:
TOPAY TROOPS, SAY
A|VT|-DRAFT SOL0|IS
Urge Taking All Incomes Over
$1,000 a Year to Pay Men
500 a Month.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Members
OF the senate and house who voted
against military draft indorse the sug-
gestion of The New York Call, Social
list daily, that all incomes over $4,000
year be conscripted, and that the
money so received be used to pay 800
a month wages to the conscripts.
The idea strikes me most favor
ably" said Senator Vardaman, Missis-
sippi. II should. vote for such a bill
with great pleasure. It is needless to
say that If such bill were passed
there would not be another soldier
sent across the water"
Senator Gronna, North Dakota,
said: "You can not compensate a man
by any amount of money, for your
sending him out to be killed." said
Gronna, land I remain absolutely op-
posed to the draft so long as we have
not shown the voluntary system of en-
l1stment to be unavoidable. But while
we have the draft, and men are forced
to go to war and risk or sacrifice their
lives, their families at least should be
fully provided for by the government.
Il shall vote, when the time comes.
to raise all of the cost of this war by
taxation Of excess profits and incomes,
we should pay for it all as we 70.
Many OF the big fortunes had their
foundations in the days of the civil
war"
Representative Lundeen, Minnesota,
Republican, said: II am absolutely
for that. In my speeches against con-
scription in the house I declared that
If you conscript men for war, con-
script wealth for war. Indeed. if Vol,
are going to conscript men there is all
the more reason why you must con-
script wealth. If all incomes should
be conscripted down to $4,000 the men
sent to service in the field will be
taken care of. And the manner in
which congress does care for the men
who render military service will be
test of its real devotion to their well
fare.
Let congress see that they are paid
enough. England enlisted 6;600,000
men under the volunteer system. The
Australian troops at the front voted
down Consumption by 10000 major
ity."
Make War Improbable.
Representative Huddleston, Ala
bama, Democrat, agreed with the pro-
posal in general, although he stated
that congress would doubtless defeat
any immediate attempt at draft re-
peal
1.-THE way to stop war is to make it
so expensive to wealth that the veal
thy can not afford to have war;" he
said. II am In favor Of financing
this war from taxation Of incomes, ex-
cess profits and luxuries. Not a dol
lar Of tax sh2uld be raised from the
necessaries o. life
1T is monstrous that men should
be forced to service on the battlefield
at smaller wages than are paid in in
dustry. The wages of soldiers should
be paid from the treasury.
Accumulated wealth should pay
the cost Of the war, since war in its
essentials is always for wealth and
about wealth, and to promote the in
terests Of the wealth-holding classes.

ber to secure q militia guard for all i'm
portant bridges in the county, primo
tpally those across Raritan river here

county would have to proceed to name
and pay men for the work.
An incident concerning men in an
automobile appearing on the county
bridge at Perth Amboy and taking
Photographic of the shorefront where
large factories are situated was re-
ported to the freeholders. The state
authorities and Perth Amboy police are
trying to run down the men in ques-
tion.
On motion of Mr.. Kerr County Col
lector Edward Burt was instructed to
file q report showing the Indebtedness
of the county preparatory to an issu-
ance of bonds by the freeholders.

|NTERNEO GERMAN
CRUISER BLOWN UP
Cruiser Cormorant Blown Up
by Crew in Harbor Of Guam

Special by United Press Wire.
Washington, April THE German
interned cruiser Cormoran, has been
blown up by its crew in the harbor of
Guam, the Navy Department announced
today. The ship was destroyed by
navy officers as United States marines
were going to seize the vessel Two
German warrant officers and five Ger
man enlisted men were killed. Twenty
German officers, twelve warrant officers
and 821 enlistem men of the vessel
were taken prisoners.
The news reached the Navy Depart
ment this morning in a radio dispatch
from the United States governor of
Guam. No other details than the above
were given out Immediately by the
Navy Department. 1t was said there
would be fuller dispatch later.
The Cormoran was q converted
cruiser, active in the early days of the
war in raiding allied commerce In the
south Pacific.

Movement Nationwide.

Washington, April 1.-THE govern
ment roundup of German plotters and
all enemies of the republic Is in full
swing today. With scores already arr
rested or being run down countless
other arrests will be made within the
next few days. The enormity of this
plotters' hunt can be imagined when
1t is remembered that the statement
rectnly was made on the floor of the
senate that 100000 German spies had
woven their intrigues in every sec
tion of the country.
While the chase is hot and will
continue to be relentlessly carried on
against any alien suspected of af-
fording aid or comfort to the nations
enemies, officials today again repeat
ed that their declaration that well
behaving" aliens need have no ap-
prehension that they will be molested.
Chief interest at this time centers
on men who have long been trailed
and card-indexed because of their
association with the plotters ring, es-
tablished in various sections of the
country by Captain Won Papen and
Boy-Ed.
While department of Justice and
secret service agents worked in deep
est secrecy refusing for obvious rea-
sons to disclose even facts Of arrest
that have been made. 1t is taken for
granted that another chief objective
in the hunt is to keep wartime watch
on the bounds of German reservists
here, who were unable to answer the
call to colors that sounded in 1914.
1t is known positively today that
1t has been from these men-chiefy
reservists of younger years-that
Boy-Ed and Won Papen drew material
for their work of spying and in
trigues against the government.
While 1t Is known by officials that
many OF the men refused to do the
bidding of Germany's spy masters In
America, it is known that they did
fall before tho temptations of gold
and promises of high reward in the
event of war between the two coun-
tries. Another nest of plotters was
taken for granted Is the German
consular service in America.
Such aliens as had close connec-
ton with the kaiser's consular agents
and who cannot satisfactorily explain
those connections are to be arrested
at the first suspicious action.
