FIGUREHEAD IS SEEN AGAIN
Makes Its Appearance on Old-Fash-
Toned Craft Resurrected as Result
of Cry for Tonnage.

In answer to the war cry for ton
mage, strange procession of sailing
vessels is plying up and down the
American coast these days, company
Of old-fashioned craft whose noses
have long been in the mud and whose
commercial value seemed to have van
ishcd. But now with brave front these
old relics are filling the needs of YES
sels-and the brave front of the eight
eenth century ship, with it's heroic
figurehead, is again seen in New York
harbor after many years.
The 1gurehead died hard among
other nations. AS an expression of the
poetry and superstition of seamen it
has lived since the Egyptians and
Phoenicians decorated their prows
with the carved figure of an ibis, 10
tus, phoenix, or sometimes a gigantic
and all-seeing eye, and then confident
ly set sail under it's protection. For
these thousands of years the figure
head has been the seaman's god. He
has trusted the figurehead no less than
his compass or his captain, and there
is not sailor today of the old school
who would not welcome its return to
modern vessels.

DRAFT SLACKERS FACE JAIL
Gen. CroWder Warns Youths Who
Rushed to Get Married to EVade
Military Service.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The young
men who have thronged to marriage Ii
cense bureaus since July 20 in hope
the government would exempt them
from army service have got married in
vain.
They may even have committed a
misdemeanor and be liable TO prosecu-
ton. If this is so, their war brides,
as aiding them in the misdemeanor,
also will be liable to prosecution.
Provost Marshal Gen. E. 81. Crow
der, aroused by the reports of throngs
of men of draft age invading the mar
riage license bureaus in the larger cit
les, made this perfectly plain on Tues
day. He announced:
by section of the CONSUMPTION act
any person who evades or aids another
TO evade the requirements of this act
is guilty of a misdemeanor and local
boards are authorized to warn persons
who claim discharge on the ground of
marriage contracted since the date of
the act that both parties are liable to
prosecution under this provision, If, in
fact. the marriage was contracted sole
ly with intent to evade the perform
ance of military duty"

u. S. SEES PLOT IN
BERLIN PEACE TALK
Intended to Influence Public Opinion
Among Neutrais-OnIy One Con-
cession Given.

Washington, July 31.-"Germany's
latest peace suggestions, sent forth
from Berlin and Vienna, carry moth
ing new. They are intended only to
influence public opinion in neutral
countries and possibly In Russia. The
United States cannot seriously consid-
er them"
This was as far as Washington Of
icialdom cared to go in commenting
on the cabled statement of Imperial
Chancellor Michaelis of Germany and
Foreign Minister Czernin Of Austria.
At the state department it was en-
phasized that this latest peace talk,
coming apparently by concerted ar
rangement, in no way differed from
previous utterances along this line by
Teutonic chiefs.
1.-THE only concession apparently
made" explained responsible state de-
partment officials, sis the statement
that there is no desire now to discuss
who was responsible for the war.
1T is not mere coincident that
Vienna and Berlin should utter iden-
teal statements at a time when the
Austro-German forces seem to be
sweeping the Russians before them.
Always after a success Germany has
talked peace and in every instance in
the hope that it would influence nell-
trail action.

RAISE WAR TAX TO z BILLION
Senate Body Decides to Get More Rev.
enue-lncreases Tax on Dis
titled Spirits.

Washington, Aug. Increase of the
pending 81, 670,0O0,OOO war tax bill to a
total of $2,OO9,OO0,0OO was decided
upon by the senate finance committee
on Tuesday. This will be an increase
of $685., 100000. Increases on corpora
lions, normal income taxes, on incomes
of individuals of $4,000 and over and
a further increase Of 81 a gallon on
distilled spirits and 80 cents a barrel
more on beer, with few other minor
tax increases, will make up the addi-
tional levy.
The committee decided to increase
the present per cent normal rate on
corporate incomes to 6 per cent, as
against per cent in the bill as orig
inally drawn. 1t is expected to yield
$162, 100000 additional revenues.

100000 SLAVS RETREAT
BEFORE FOE IN GALICIA.
Two More Towns Captured by Ger,
mans - Panics Among Russ
Troops Suppressed Ruthlessiy.

London, Aug. IA dispatch to the
Post from Petrograd, referring to the
Russian retreat in Galicia, says 1t is
conservatively estimated that more
than 100000 Russian troops are
steadily marching rearward. These
constitute the Eleventh and Seventh
armies, with their reserves.
A dispatch from Berlin says Emper-
or William left Mitau, % miles south
west of Riga, Russia, and went down
the river to the Riga front where he
complimented the troops.
A dispatch to the Times from the
headquarters of the Russian Seventh
army says the situation is more hope
full. Panics among the retreaters are
suppressed ruthlessly. Three divisions
of cavalry have taken positions across
the whole front of retreat.
Deserters are shot and attempts to
spread panic are suppressed by prompt
executions. Deserters, spies and agi-
tators who enjoyed complete immunity
under the committee system lie dead
on the highways. A paper pinned on
the corpses reads: "Here lies a trail
tor to his country"
Berlin, Aug. Russian forces
which made a stand in western Buko-
wilma, says the official statement is
sued by the German general staff, were
forced to evacuate their Chermosh line
and retire to the eastward.
The German announcement says that
in the direction of Czernowitz, the
capital of Bukowina, the Austro-Ger-
man forces have captured Warenccan-
ka and Sniatyn. In the wooded Car
pathian area the Teutons forced the
Russians to abondon their positions in
the MeSta- Canaste sector.

Saratoga Damaged by Steamer PAN
anna While Waiting for Sailing Or
ders-1 400 Soldiers Saved.

An Atlantic Port, July 31.-The Sara
toga, an American transport at anchor,
waiting sailing orders, was rammed
by the American steamer Panama, in
bound here.
A deep hole in the transports port
quarter extending from below the wa
ter line to the rail resulted from the
collision. The captain of the steamer
which did the damage held the bow
Of his ship tight against the transport
effectually blocking the wound.
Meanwhile 1,400 soldiers were safe
~ taken off in lifeboats or by tugs, and
other craft in the harbor, which re-
sponded to distress signals. No one
was injured.
The Saratoga is former Ward line
steamer. The Panama belongs to the
Panama Railroad Steamship line.
The Saratoga was kept af1oat and
finally was warped in to a dock and
made fast.

Value of Horses Declines.

The value Of horses on the farms in
this country seems to have fallen
slightly, for the department Of agri-
culture reports that the average value
of these horses on January 1, 1917, was
only SOB, as compared to $109 on
January 1, 1914. The difference in
price between the horses exported and
those on the farms is due chiefly to
the fact that only the youngest and
best horses were sent abroad, while
those on the farms include the lame,
the blind and the halt of all ages.
