The socialists of the United States
rather hinder the work of the govern

socialists of Russia are the war party,
the party that dethroned autocracy.
and put democracy in the saddle under

friends here. Her great-great-grand-

from Newberry county over 100 years

sons and three daughters. They were

RUSSIA In HANDS OF
WILD MOB OF ANARCHISTS
Kereuski aad New Government Unable

:. Back to Gear.
e while bands Of anarchists, enlivened
by the uniforms OF soldiers and sail
srs. were tearing through the streets
Of Petrograd fiourishing rifles, reyolv-
ers and grenades and indulging in an
orgy of brigandage and murder, the
telegraph brought alarming news
from far away Tiflis. There, in the
heart; of the Caucasus, the cry OF
shack to czardom" has been raised. In
q fash it dawned upon the people here
what War Minister Kerenski meant
when he said the other day Russia was
in danger of losing not only Armenia,
hut also the Caucasus. All along both
fronts the Turks have been rallyiag
OF late.
In the wake of this news came the
most sensational information OF the
day-Grand Duke Nicholas Nichalale-
witch has been arrested. Royalist out
breaks in the Caucasus could mean
but one thing-a plot to make the idol
of the army czar, if not of Russia
then of an independent Caucasian
realm.
Promptly the Petrograd authorities
turned their attention to Nicholas
Romanoff. From his prison palace at
Tsarskoe Selo, where he has been
peacefully planting potatoes, he is to
be Immediately transferred to the fort
ress Of Peter and Paul, lest the new
chaos permit him to exchange the
spade for, his old scepter.

REVISION OF TAXES
FOR WAR RY VENUE
Automobile to Be Assessed According
to Cost of Machine-New Tobacco

portant changes we're made today DJ

!. An automobile tax based on the
cost of the machines and designed tC
rai $42,000,000.
2. A new tax on cigars, ranging
from 81 to 81 per hundred.
8. Repeating the drawback" on SUI
gar on which the government paid
SIS, 900. 900. last year.
4. Exempting from taxation tickets
to moving picture shows. costing %

). Making it mandatory to reveal

The automobile tax is as follows:
On machines costing not over $500.
$3.50: on machines costing $500 to

Indianapolis News.
While the battle against the sub
marine has not yet been won, encour-
aging progress has been made in the
campaign against it. There has been
a marked decrease in the number OF
sinkings. For three successive weeks
the losses have been held substan-
TALLY below the large figures which
caused so much alarm last month.
Certain It Is that the hope of bring
ing England to her knees" by Junel
must now be abandoned, since June 1
is now but one week away. 1t is un-
derstcod that the date has been ad-
vanced to October l. Thus for there
is no evidence that any new deylses
have been Used against the submarine.

full credit 70 the American contingent,

royal road to success against u-boats.' -
The sole reliance, as far as known is
on hard work and infinite pains" 1T
is,' we are told, "the American doc
trine Of keeping everlastingly at it.
However, there are possibilities OF
which, of course, little or nothing can
be said. It was announced yesterday
that Marconi had a device which the
Italian government had already used
with great success against Austrian
submarines. Maxim also thinks that
he has discovered a way of making
vessels proof against submarine at
tack. Other men are working on an
undersea merchant service on a large
scale. What is certain is that the
best scientific brains in all lands are
working on this problem. That being
the case, there ought to be fair
chance of solving it completely.
Meanwhile the war in these pests
will go on with increasing vigor and
efficiency. 1t is known that already
the imports into Great Britain and
France are showing the most encour-
aging growth. The day of an under
sea triumph for the Teutonic powers
has at least been postponed. Per-
haps before long it will be possible
to announce that the postponement is
indefinite. When the war is over, the
powers of the world must, as Mr..

major load must fall on us. In any
event it emphasizes the necessity Tor
control of exports in order to control
prices and protect our supply, and tne
necessity for conservation and elimi-
nation of waste in order to increase
the volume Of our exports"
Mr.. Hoover believes the United
States and Canada can export this
wear at least 6OO,OO0.O00 bushels OF
grain. If the winter wheat crop I'M
proves and the spring crop is larger
than normal he believes this may De
increased to SOO.000,oOO. Shipment OF
that much grain. much OF it wheat
however, will force American consum-
ers to eat less wheat than usual and
eat more of other cereals.
Coordination OF Purchases.
Coordination of allied food pur-
chases will be established as soon as
the food bills and the export limlta-
tons act become laws. At present the
allies and neutral countries are pur-
chasing in large quantities for future
delivery. There is no guarantee tnat
all these deliveries will be made, as
this government may hold up contracts
TO assure of an adequate food supply
at home. The food administration as
soon as it is created will begin to pass
