RICH ATTACKED

Senator Says Nation Is in
Danger Of Overstepping
Ability to Pay.

Heavy artillery was tTdlneu upOh
wealth again yesterday in the Senate.
Senator la Toilette. OK Wisconsin
argued strenuously that war prohts
and incomes should be conscripted to
nav the cost Of the war. In an i'm
passioned speech La Toilette begged
that the consumption taxes be elm
mated from the pending S2,Oe"Wj
war revenue bill.
La Toilette will begin reducing his
amendments today, and will carry on
a bitter fight.
While the leaders OF the Senate
Finance Committee hope for a vote
today on the war profits section, the
so-caIIed radicals" do not believe
this probable. However. Senators are
being called to Washington by tele-
grams from their colleagues so that

la Toilette predicted that from
$4,000. 900 90 to s40.O0O. 900 eco might be
spent by this country next year.
'Tr this bill raises S2.OO6. go. O0O."
he said. "and the 1885. 100000 es-
timated receipts for this year are
added. there will be a total OF S3.-

What are the obligations we must
meet this year so far as we now
know? The Secretary OF the Treas

provided a bond issue Of $4,000, 900.

but all the $1,000. 100000 must be
raised this year. We have an ad-

minority report at s4.OO0.O00. 600.
Since the minority report was is

IF this war shall last another

British Treat War
Prisoners Better.
German Chief Saws

LONDON, Aug 29-(Correspond-
ence)-Admission that the treatment
OF German war prisoners In Great
Britain was superior 70 the treatment
received in any other country was
made by the chief German delegate to
the recent conference Of British and
Germans on war prisoners, according
to statement made by Baron Newton,
one Of the British delegates, in the
House of Commons.
Virtually no complaint was made Of
the British methods of dealing with
war prisoners, Lord Newton added.
One impression he derived from his
intercourse with the delegates was
that, in spite Of the German powers of
Capitalization, Berlin headquarters did
not know great deal of what went on.
That impression, he said, more or less
confirmed that James W. Gerard the
late American Ambassador at Berlin.
used to tell him, that there was less
Capitalization than was supposed and
that the control at Berlin over prison
ers Of war was nothing like SO ef-
fective as in this country. He had a
strong suspicion that great deal went
on In various German camps of which
the central German administration
knew little.
AS they had twenty times as many
prisoners as the British had, it would
be surprising, he said, If they did
know all that went on.

"Minnie" Splashes Mud on Boots
Of Officer---Good- Bye 'Minnie'

He stayed In the trench all that
night, studying Minnie's location and
characteristics, and on the morrow he
returned, followed by his orderly, I'M
coiling wire as he walked. At the
trench end of the wire a temporary
telephone was fixed. The far end of
the wire led back a mile and half
to battery Of field artillery.
Along about noon Minnie opened up
for her midday strafe. Promptly the
artillery officer verified his observa-
tons of the night before and spoke a
few figures into the telephone. A min
ute later loud boom announced the
arrival of British shell just across the
other side of No-Man's Land. The
British officer swore softly, and spoke
again into the telephone. The first
shell had been at least thirty yards
Off The second was perhaps twenty
yards on the other side. Again the
officer spoke into the telephone, and
for the third time the gun spoke.
Bulls Eye" sang the officer into the
telephone, and packed up his belong
ings In business-like fashion. Minnie
was deceased.

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, Aug. 29-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press. minnie is
very forward young lady who lives
as rule in German front line trench
es. She has no pretensions at all to
beauty. She is for use, not for orna-
ment. She is a trench gun, and her
projectiles remind one of plum pud-
dings attached to sticks. They fly
very irregularly but burst very regu-
larly in that part Of No-Man's Land
furthest removed from Minnie's tenn
porary lodging.
Just before the latest push around
Ypres, there was a particular Minnie
located few miles from Ypres, which
was more than usually a nuisance.
The British trench was not well sited,
nor very well protected. Consequently
when Minnie was active, she made
things very uncomfortable for the oc-
cupants of that British trench. More
over, she had no regular habits, she
worked on no plan, iadylike she did
Just about as she wished.
The young British subalterns hated
her with a persistent, pervading
hatred, and concocted many schemes
for her undoing, but to no avail. But
one night, chance brought into the
trench very irritable old artillery Of
ficer, just as Minnie was active. One
of Minnie's buildings soiled his boots,
and thereby aroused il him a grim de-
termination to devote himself to her
destruction.

pledge in a treaty or settlement and accommo-
cation?
Responsible statesmen must now everywhere
see if they never saw before, that peace can
rest securely upon political or economic restric-
tions meant to benefit some nations and cripple
or embarrass others upon vindctive action OF any
sort or any kind, or revenge or deliberate injury
The American people have suffered intolerable
wrongs at the hands of the imperial German gov
ernment. but they desire reprisal upon the
German people. who have themselves suffered all
things in this war, which they did not choose
They believe that peace should rest upon the
rights of peoples, not the rights of governments
the rights of peoples, great or small, weak or
powerful-ther EQUAL right to freedom and
security and self f-government and to partlcpa-
ton upon fair terms in the economic opportuni-
ties of the world-the German people, of course
included. if they will accept equality and not seek
domination.
The test therefore, Of every plan OF peace IS
this: Is it based upon the faith Of all the peoples
involved or merely upon the word of an am
bilious and intriguing government on the one
hand, and of group Of free peoples on the other!
This is test which goes to the root of the mat
ter: and it is the test which must be applied.
The purposes of the United States in this war
are known to the whole world-to every people to
whom the truth has been permitted to come
They do not need to be stated again. We seek no
material advantage of any kind. We believe that
the intoerable wrongs done in this war by the
furious and brutal power Of the imperial Ger
man government ought to be repaired, but not at
the expense of the sovereignty of any people
rather vindicaton Of the sovereignty both OF
those that are weak and Of those that are strong.
Punitive damages, the dismemberment of empires,
the establishment of selfish and exclusive eco
nomic leagues we deem inexpedient and IN the
end worse than futie-no proper basis for
peace OF any kind, least Of all for an enduring
peace That must be based upon justice and
fairness and the common rights of mankind.
We cannot take the word Of the present rulers
of Germany as 2 guarantee of anything that is to
endure unless explicitly supported by such con-
elusive evidence of the will and purpose of the
German people themselves the other peoples
Of the world would be justified in accepting
Without such guarantees, treaties of settlement,
agreements for disarmament, covenants to set up
arbitration in the place of force, territorial ad-
iustments, reconstitutons Of small nations, if
made with the German government, no man, no
nation, could now depend on We must await
some new evidence of the purposes of the great
peoples of the Central Powers.
God grant it may be given soon and in way
to restore the confidence Of all peoples every
where in the faith of nations and the possibility
of covenanted peace.
