Military Patrols Have
Orders to Shoot
Persons Setting Fires

Portland, Or, Aug. SO.-All persons
entering the forests must be extreme
ly careful at Jhis time about lighting
fires. This is not the fire marshal warn
ing of the usual type. There is a very
urgent reason for this warning. The
woods just now are filled with mill
tary patrols with rigid instructions to
shoot public enemies caught setting
fire to the forests.
Therefore, it is doubly necessary to
be careful as military patrols, while in
structed to exercise every precaution,
might possibly make a mistake.
These military patrols are operating
in every part of Oregon where forests
are to be found. Their location is not
revealed for obvious reasons They
move from place to place and keep to
cover as much as possible. Their task
is that of hunting down public enemies
who have been firing the Oregon for
ests, and they are under orders from
the western department of the army to
deal instantly and vigorously with such
public enemies.
So if necessary for you to go into
the woods, be careful about lighting
fires. No doubt it would be better to
keep out Of the woods unless you have
urgent business there.

Senate Failed to Agree on
the Plan TO Fix the Date of
Voting on War ReUenue Bill

Washington, Aug. 30.-Charging an
attempt to gag wealth conscription ,ad-
vocates, Senator LaFollette today pre-.
vented unanimous agreement by the
senate to fix a date for voting on the
revenue bill.
"If debate on the bill is to be
chokcd off, let it be through applica-
ton of the gag rule lately written into
the rules of the senate" LaFollette
said.
Senator Simmons, who late yesterday
introduced a cloture petition, today
sought the agreement, so as 10 make
Unnecessary the use of the cloture.
at is preposterous, said LaFol
lette, "to make such request Just after
the finance committee has introduced
an amendment to the war profits tax
section of the bill, which totally chang
cs its aspect. ! object strenuously to
any agreement for vote until after
the war profits and income tax sections
have been disposed Of. -
LaFollette's stand, if persisted in
makes practically certain application
of cloture on Friday. This would bring
a vote on the bill not later than next
Wednesday.
Underwood Attacks Bill
Opening the fight of southern dem
ocrats on war profits taxes, Senator
Underwood, Alabama, denounced "mon
ey slackers.' -
81 have 10 patience with the money
slacker," he said. "The man who AT
this hour hesitates to respond with his
dollars to his eountry's need is entitled
to no place in this republic except one
that will bring on him the contempt
and scorn of the American people.
1t is equitable and just that great
share of the burden of paying for the
war should fall on the. great wealth of
the nation. On the other hand, with
war time costs pyramiding; with the
price of his daily bread going higher
every hour, it is more and more diff
cult for the plain citizen OF the United
States to raise money TO support his
family.
Therefore, every dollar of eonsumI
tion taxes you put into the bill fall
on a family already in distress.
Underwood compared taxes to b.
paid by numerous companies under thu
committee plan to show inequalities
in the bill.

LONDON PRESS LOUD
IN PRAISE OF REPLY
Hail Wilson As New Leader
Of Allied Cause---AlIies
Must Make Similar Reply

London, Aug. 3O.--British newspapers
searched for adjectives and superlatives
today in which to express admiration
and complete approval Of President
Wilson s reply to the pope. The only
feeble note of difference with the pres
ident s doctrine was sounded in the
Northcliffe newspapers. They agreed
with every other feature of the reply
except President Wilson S "acquittal
of the German people from any respon-
sibility for the war;"
The Northcliffe editorials pointed out
this was Incompatible with the fact
that the German people accepted war
enthusiastically and have given their
support to it throughout, their repre-
sentatives continually voting supplies
and the press exulting in the worst at
rocities.
Every London newspaper except the
Chronicle overlooked the significance
of the presidents Is phrases as to "sel-
fish, exclusive economic leagues The
Chronicle pointed out with evident sat
isfaction that the president inferential-
ly, at least, had thus condemned the
resolutions of the Paris allied confer
ence. and incidentally demonstrated his
independence.
Can't Be Improved.
AS whole, the British press regarded
the note as completely expressing the
sentiments of the entente allies. The OPP
inion was that it could not have been
better if it had been written by Euro
pean allied statesmen themselves.
''President Wilson s ultimatum may
bring the German people to their
senses,'' observed the Evening Star.
"On the other hand, it is declaration
of war which must drive kaiserism to
bay"
'FThe president puts in plain Ian
guage what our statesmen clothe in
roundabout impressive language" was
the Evening Standard IS tribute. CHE
is not afraid to call liar a liar, even
if the liar happens to be extremely
well connected"
The Pail Mall Gazette observed:
In going beyond the ruling caste of
the people, President Wilson may ap-
pear over sanguine to some, but we
think he is right. "

Want Two Billions

Washington, Aug. 30.-Climax in the
senate fight over war profits taxation
drew near today. Senator Simmons,
champion of the committee bill, plan
ned final effort to shut off debate
and force a vote.
If he succeeds, the test of strength
between the Simmons Penrose and the
Borah-J ohnson groups Will come on a
vote to approve the committee measure
raising $40S,000,000 on war profits.
The wealth eonscription interests de-
clare nothing less than 82,000,000 600
from this source will satisfy them.
A third group hold the balance of
power-southern demOcrats-who are
by no means radical but who refuse to
support the committee bill because
they say, it is discriminating.
The substitute which they will offer
would raise $S00,000,0O0 to $1,000,000,-
600 war profits taxes.
Senator Simmons probably will press
his move for a clOture rule. With SEN
ator Underwood, recognized as a pow
erful figure in any revenue fight, lined
up with the southern democrats who
oppose the committee bill, the cloture
was intended to stop argument by him
more than it was aimed at the Borah-
johnson group. Underwood so far has
made no speech.
Will Concede Some Points
The committee provision on which a
vote is expected today is concession
by the Simmons-Penrose group to the
wealth eonscriptionists, carrying far
heavier levies than the original bill.

I are soon to take their places on the
| firing line
While the parade was the greatest
demonstration New York ever saw
exceeding even the Dewey welcome or
other stirring scenes of Spanish war
days-it was evident that the crowd
was giving its cheers with full appre-
citation of what the appearance of these
thousands of men in war array meant.
1t was not holiday spirit that pre-
vailed. The cheers for the troops were
full hearted and brimming with enthus-
iasm. But they carried a note of pa
triotic devotion and tear dimmed eyes
and trembling lips of men and women
alike at the sight of some loved one
in the ranks, brought home that this
was America S greatest war demonstra-
tion to dato-not a parade of peace.
General Ryan Led
For the first time since Spanish war
days men were marching amidst the
peaceful scenes of the world metropo-
lis fully equipped for war.
The rumble and groan Of artillery
caissons was heard as real war sound
The scu1f, scuff, scuff of the marehers
was that of men ready to offer up their
lives in the cause of democracy.
Long before the parade started from
the upper end of Central Park at 10
a m. the thousands We're assembling.
Old and young men, women, and chill
dren packed subways to suffocation,
over taxed every artery of transit in a
mad rush to claim points Of vantage
along Fifth avenue. Difference was
paid to relatives of the marching men,
who were supplied with special identi-
tying badges
Flowers in Abundance
Major General O'Ryan led the march
through a broad lane, walled with
cheering humanity. The roar of humid
reds of thousands, shouting and excit-
edly waving flags at times almost
drowned out the bands. Here and there
a woman darted from the crowd and
marched q short distance beside her
boy in the ranks. Groups of little girls
threw flowers at the feet of the troops
1t took five hours for the grand re-
view to pass a oiven point. Every
branch of the service, except aviation,
was represented. Infantrymen swung
steadily along, rank on rank, wearing
their blanket rolls and all their field
parapheTnalia.
Governor Whitman, Mayor Mitchell
and other officials reviewed the parade
at the Union League club on the spot
where many other great outpouring of
America s youth had been officially
witnessed. Civil war veterans and other
honored guests occupied a grandstand
in front of the public library.
Colonel Roosevelt arrived at the re-
viewing stand shortly before noon. He
was given a tremendous ovation by the
crowds. The former president bowed
his acknowledgement, took off his hat
end Immediately gave his attention to
marching columns. He smiled broadly at
the sight Of the flapping banners and
bronzed and fit men. 1t was evident
that he was carrying on a running fire
comment with those about him as the
troops swung by.
Numerous private stands appeared
along the line of march early today

Schou, bandmaster of the Fourteenth
infantry, stationed here today is hunt
ing a missing flivver-and, alas, a miss

fair grass widow, Mrs. Ethel Anderson,
in the front seat beside him.
Last night Sehou found his garage
door open and the machine gone. On the

Paris, Aug. 30.-France purposes to
put the cost of the war on those best
able to bear it by taxing war profits
up to eighty percent.
Minister of Finance Thierry made this
announcement today in an interview
with the United Press explaining
France IS scheme of financing the war.
He added special plea that Americans

closely the financial debates in Amer
lea" !" declared M. Thierry. "We appre-
ciate the difficulties and the new prob
lens before Ameriea-especially the
problems of taxation for war purposes.
Efficient legislation regarding the
latter has been difficult, particularly IN
France where there was no income tax
before the war. This lack has made 1T
necessary for us to establish the fixed
revenue in before-the-war periods IN
order to tax the excess.
'eThe war profits in France during
the first year of the war have been es,
timated at $550,000,000. The second
wear was about the same. But coilee-
tions have been slow, owing to the diff
ficulty in establishing the taxable
sums.
To Increase Tax Rate.
"To date only about $400,000,00O has
been collected.
"Our law of July 1916, taxed war
profits under 100000, fifty per cent.
"We are now introducing a law tax,

more than a million dollars a maximum
of eighty per cent, according to sid

Moved to Admiration.

London, Aug. 30-London was again
moved to admiration of America and of
President Wilson today after reading
the president S note to Pope Benedict.
More than one newspaper hailed the
American executive as the new leader
cf the allied cause.
At the end of three years of un-
speakable strain and anxiety" declared
the Morning Post, sit is an inestim-
able service to the allied armies to
find such leadership as this strong, clear
sighted, nflexible-inspiring new cOur-
age and faith, shaming the faint heart
cd and silencing the peIverse and dis
affected"
The Chronicle pointed out that Presi-
dent Wilson had reminded the world
that America was unfettered by ALLAN
ees in subjecting the Paris resolution
of the allies to unqualified condemna-
tion,"f (this was the resolution banding
the allies to commercial reprisals
against Germany after the war;
As Against Theory.
'fThe resounding proclamation which
comes from the White House, of the
reality of right and the reality of wrong
and of the impossibility of reconeiling
them or shading them into one another
by good natured words" the Chronicle
added, "might well have issued from
the vatican, the ancient repository of
christian verities."
''It is the answer of a practical
statesman to the peaee-dreaming vatican
and it may be to other courts as well,
the Times summarized, adding that the
note is eouched in the same terms as all
ether statesmen of allied powers "must
reply to the peace note"
