WILSON is BLAMED
IN GERMAN PRESS
Editors Believe He Should Have
Accepted Single Ship Offer

Berlin, Feb. 6, via London, Feb. 7,
1920 a. m.-The afternoon neWspa-
pers devote columns to news from
America, which, with the exception of
the weather, excludes almost every
thing else from their pages. Editor
tally the papers lay particular stress
on President Wilson's move to induce
Switzerland and other neutrals to fol-
low his lead. The comments are tenn
perate in general, although President
Wilson personally is more sharply at
tackled than before and his peace eff
forts are ridiculed as utterly incon-
sistent with what is termed his at
tempts to foment more trouble in Eu-
rope.
By a curious coinciden, almost every
paper takes occasion to reiterate the
allegation that the presidents every
act has been induced by his insistence
that Americans shall be allowed to
travel unendangered on Entente ships
Several papers repeatedly refer to this

Papers like the Vossische Zeitung
and the Lokal Anzeiger which hereto
fore have handled the American sit
uation most temperately, show a ten
dency to adopt the tone once taken by
the PanGerman press. At the same

before in the expression of their views

tired of the man himself I felt 1 could
never be. He exercised the most
curious fascination for me. I longed
to see him again. yet in the same in
slant I dreaded the interview. I had
a half-guilty feeling concerning the
mans attraction for me, and yet I
knew that if Dicky could realize the
nature of my real feeling toward the
man he would have no cause for
jealousy.
I had no more time for introspec-
ton, however. Dicky was in high
spirits, and he talked of everything
and Of nothing, jumping from one
subject to another with such rapidity
that, it kept my brain busy following
him. 1t was only after we had left the
train, and were seated in the taxi
rolling homeward, that Dicky fell
silent.
"Wonder what particular grievance

get there?'' he said at last, and I knew
his thoughts were busy, as were mine,
with his mothers eccentric behavior.
She had checked out from the hotel

to the Marvin house, where Katie re-

METHOD OF GETTING FOOD ID THE MEN
 IN THE TRENCHES
Columns move at night In silence Surrounded by Bursting
 Shells
C.fSsociate,. Pfes8)

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE. July 30-What makes an in- delible impression on the newcomer to the battlefront is the tremendous or ganization back of the actual fighting line, the miles of roadways dotted with transport of war-food fer men and hors- es, shells for the guns, ammunition for rifles and machine-guns and comforts for the wounded
 The final and most interesting link in this vast organization is the opera ton of getting the food right up to the men in the trenches. It usually takes place under cover of darkness when the enemy is unable to impede it's pro- gress as efficiently as with the aid of daylight. Night after night this goes on. After one recovers from the sur prise at the quietness with which it is done he is bound to marvel at the clock-like precision of the whole opera tion-all of which testifies to the ef- icient organization necessary in a war like this.
 The first intimation that the trans port is preparing to move out toward the front line is a clattering of horses shoes on the cobbes of a French farm yard. Then voices call out orders, wa ter-carts are filled; horses are harness ed to the wagons and a few minutes later the whole column is standing ready, silent, the transport men mount ed, the quartermaster, transport officer and a sergeant on foot. In another in stant a whistle sounds. there is a crack
 ng of whip. then another chatter on he cobblestones and the rumble of heavily laden wagons as the whole column moves out toward the trenches
 As the column going in with the rations moves up closer to tue lines he star shells and boom of the big guns becomes more distinct. Sudden ly the column halts-shells have burst in the road or on either side of it a little way ahead When this ceases probably for only a few minutes the word is given to move on again. The column continues to crawl along until it reaches a battered old building be- side the road and within stones throw of the apport trenches. Here are left the lies brought up by this column.

INCREASE IN
 BILL TAKEN
 UPBYSENATE
Committee Hopes to Reach An Agreement Before Friday
 This Week
Associated PreSs)

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The meth cd of increasing the revenues in the war tax bill at least one billion, nine hundred and forty millions from the present billion six hundred and seventy millions, is now before the senate fin ancial committee for discussion. The increase was recommended by both the army and navy departments.
 It is said that the committee hopes to have the bill ready by next Friday at the latest. A tentative plan on foot seems to favor the raising of the ad- ditional amount from higher taxes on incomes, excess profits and possibly on tobacco.
 Several conferees on the food bill are agreed that even the president can. not overcome the disagreement be. tween both houses for another vote of national prohibition. The question was brought before the senate today for debate. Under an agreement a vote will be taken next Wednesday Advocates of the opposition predict a victory by only one or two votes more than is necessary over the two-thirds and should the resolution be adopted i it will surely run the gauntlet in the house which killed similar proposals in 1914.

PARIS, July 2S.-France begins the fourth year of the war in calm confi dence and determination. expressed to- day by Premier Alexandre F. Ribot in these words:
 Until the people with whom we are at war finally awaken and free them selves from the detestable regime that expresses them, nothing will stop the Allies in their effort that will bring pack peace to the world by the tri-
 mph of their arms"
 At the request of the Associated Press, the Premier wrote:-
 The entry of the United States into the conflict that is pending in the world was the capital event of the hird year of the war. It is welcom- ed with enthusiasm by the allied peo- ples. They know what may be the effort of the American soldiers who have come to fight by their side.
 That event resounded nightly turnout the entire world. Certain Latin-American states where France received touching marks of sympathy on the day of her national fete already have shown, by breaking off relations with Germany that they had a clear vision of the Germanic peril
 Greece, wrenched from the in. trigues of foreign faction, is prepar- ing to send fresh contingents to fight with us on the Macedonian front The cause of national liberty in all coun- tries is finding more ardent advocates who are heard with increasing atten. tion.
 The enemy, disappointed in his in. sensate hope of stopping ocean navi- gation, disillu: toned in his effor. to sap the courage of the Allies by false offers of peace can do no more than to seek to envelope the origins of his criminal enterprise in veil of untruth
 May the peoples with whom We are at war finally awaken and free themselves from the detestable regime that expresses them. Until then noth. ing will stop the Allies in their effort that will bring back peace to the world by triumph of their arms

 The submarine again opened fire on the captains boat with shrapnel, kill ling eight men and taking the boats stern off.

When the German thought he had finished every. body who was in the captains obat he then opened fire on the Chief Off, cers' boat, firing eight shrapnel. For tunately nobody was killed, but only holing the boat, breaking the oars and wounding men slightly.
 After this the submarine command CT waved to the chief officer to go over to the position where the captain and several other people were swimming about to pick them up, and the subma- rine then went away on the surface.
 The captain and the remainder of the men were then picked up and taken aboard the chief officers boat, and were eventually picked up by French patrol steamer.

LOS ANGELES, July 30.-General ! Harrison Gray Otis. editor of the Los , Angeles Times, died during the night, ' here
 General Harrison Gray Otis, himself veteran of two wars, came of long line of military and statesmanship an cestry. His grandfather was a soldier of note in the Revolutionary War and the Otis stock produced James Otis, Revolutionary patriot and orator, and the first Harrison Gray Otis, once not ed as a senator from Massachusetts, Gen. Otis was so years of age, his birth having occurred on Washington county farm, February 10, 1897.
 Over five years of General Otis life was spent as a volunteer soldier of the United States. In 1861, at the age of 24. he enlisted in the 18th Ohio Vol unteers: was promoted through all grades to a captain in 1864. In that year a consolidation of regiments placed him in the 23rd Ohio Volunteers his colonel and captain being, respect lively Rutherford B.

 With the outbreak of the Spanish American War. in 1898, Major Otis, at the age of 61, volunteered his services to President Mckinley and was made a brigadier general of volunteers. He was assigned to duty, first at camp Merritt. (Cal.) and then to the Philip pines, where at different times, he comnianded various divisions of the Eighth Army Corps in the campaign for pacification of the native revolt. He led a brigade in person in the as sault on Caloocan and participated in the capture of the Filipino capital He resigned his command in April 1899, returning to the United States.

On October 10, 1910, his building and printing plant was dynamited and 20 of his workmen killed. The arrests and trials which followed were matters of nationwide interest.
