GERMAN NEWSPAPERS
 COMMENT ON REPLY

Berlin, via London, Sept. 3.-The Vossiche Zeitung, commenting on President Wilson's reply to the pope's peace proposal, says:
 "In it's style the note recalls the pompous political blossoms with which Lloyd George has hitherto re- membered the German people.
 "He employs the same weapon as his ally, holds the alleged German au- wants to liberate the world from this menace. Perhaps President Wilson is not yet informed of the disclos- ures made by General 'Soukhomlinoff (the former Russian war minister now on trial for treason) and Gen eral Januschkevitch, regarding the real incidents that led to the outbreak of the War; otherwise he would have altered his tactics. One can no longer charge the autocratic system of Ger many with the responsibility for the war when the whole world l.nows that the irresponsible despots of the czar's Russia were used as tools for the pur- pose of unleashing the dogs of war.
 "Mr. Wilson has attempted to draw to his side the German people which is now striking for recognition of his majesty. He differentiates between the people and the government of Germany

 There are many advantages in nov ing the Russian capital to Moscow.

Alleged injustice Of CHASING motor
trucks among the luxuries scheduled
for taxation in the war revenue bill,
is set forth in a statement which Al

Motor Car company, has submitted
to Senator F. NJ. Simmons, chairman
of the senate committee on finance.
Mr.. Macauley contends that the
truck is an out-and-out instrument Of
commerce, wholly economic in its
uses and OF great military value to
the government. He asserts, how
ever, that the making of trucks is a
new industry, i'll which no one as yet
has got rich.
Truck manufacture is a very much
,ewer business than the. manufacture
Of motor cars" Mr.. Macauley wrote
to Senator Simmons. your commit
tee never heard of manufacturer Of
trucks that has gotten rich out OF it.
No one ever took a joy ride in
truck. 1t is designed to haul freight,
and is as far removed from being
luxury as is a wheelbarrow.

Trucks are made to take care Of
the business OF the nation. .
