COMMON SENSE

In every crisis, whether it be a yreat international war or baseball game between the teams of two rival towns, there is one thing that is al- ways valuable adjunct. It is com mon sense.
 Certainly the American people in this crisis should not be wildly ex- travagant, nor should they be wildly stingy.
 If a man has been stopping at hotel and uses a room with bath, there is no reason why he should go to wagon yard and sleep in the straw.
 Neither should the women l'rom now on wear only khaki and a felt hat. Now the logic of the philosophy of this thought is to get back to the gee string for clothing, and roots and raw meats for food. ss"
 The refnements of the civilization We now have are worth while The machinery of the entire world is geared up to them, and to go back to primitive conditions in living we would also go back to primitive con- ditions in thought and culture. If we live like savages, we will think like avages.
 We cannot have the culture of the twentieth century along with the con- dltlons of life that men lived under before the trees in the Garden of Eden began to bear fruit.
 our present civilization with our manner of living is a logical evolu- uOn It is based upon a degree of comfort, along with culture for every individual, that makes life worth liv- ing. II every woman began to wear hnaAl, and if every man discarded all 'O'nlhg but a gunny sack wrapped around his middle, about two-thirds VI lne people who are now at work "Oal0 be out of jobs, If our people u'e now so as to close up all clothing s.O'eS' all retail stores, all confec- uOHefy shops and all flower shops and s" every shops, about 30,000 ,O00 psOpie dependent upon a certain class wage earners for living would be penniless.
 "e common sense action is for

people to be normally economical. But life is saill worth living, and things that are beautiful and things that make for a better culture. and things that make for a more pleasant state of mind are just as necessary today as they were year ago.
 There is no reason why the war should change our normal lives. If we have been living sanely before the war, 1t is our duty to live sanely now If we were wildly extravagant before the war, we ought to, then, have re- formed; if we are wildly extravagant today we ought to reform, not be- cause of the war, but because of the fact that extravaganza is sin in a day of peace as we'll as in a day of war.
 The people of the United States have begun to catch step. The busi- ness of the United States will go on as usual The fields promise to yield the usual harvest. The mines will give forth their riches. Everybody is going to be at work, and this means that business is going to be better than usual.-Commercial Appeal,

EVANS ADVOCATES
HEAVY WAR TAX
Excess Profits and Incomes
Should Pay Costs.

Washing on, Sept. l5.-(Special)-
Congressman John NJ. Evans ad-
dressed the house today in support of
heavy taxation during the war. He
declared that while he believed three
fourths of the cost of the war should
be paid by bonds since this generation
must spend its blood high taxes should
be laid on excess profits and large in
comes to defray the balance.
AT the risk of being considered rad
ical." he said. ut Is my judgment that
at least IS per cent of the excess
profits and SO per cent of the income
of every man should be taken. This
may be denOminated 'conscription of
wealth. but in my judgment it is nec-
essary to win the war;
Congressman Evans reiterated his
belief that aliens should be made sub
ject to the draft law. Ten thousand
American boys. he declared, have been
drawn from Montana, while 10000
aliens are left to take their jobs.

Two Vessels Get s. @. s. Call
From Ship Attacked
Near Nantucket.
DETAILS WITHHELD
BY WAR OFFICIALS
First Sub Report Since Wars
Declaration Having
Label of Truth.

An Atlantic Port. Sept. 15.--Evi-
dence that an enemy submarine has
begun depredations in American wa
ters was brought here today by two
steamships. which yesterday morning
picked up wireless rs. o. S." calls, in
dicating that a ship was being shelled
by u U-boat in the vicinity of Nam
tnckct lightship.
One ship receiving the distress calls
was a. British freighter and the other
an American tanker. Both reported
the scene of the attack as about so
miles east of Nantucket and the time
about O'Clock yesterday morning.
The identity of the submarines victim
was not learned by either vessel, as
far as is publicly known.
Got Only Part Of Name.
According to the commander of the
British vessel, the messages received
by his wireless operator from the ship
said she was being shelled and report
ed her position. but only a part of her
name could be heard-the word abby
which is the last name of several
ships in Atlantic trade.
The American tankers captain con-
'Huaep tuc nTIIiSH Skipper report, nut
added no details. Silence was imposed
on butar raptaing ny nHvn1 officers, who
investigated them as soon as they re-
ported to their agents. =.
The British captain said he under
stood an American radio station also
had picked up the distress call. Fol-
lowing the new rule of the sea, estab-
lished since German submarine war;
fare began, neither vessel went to the
assistance of the submarines victim.
Bears Lassl Of Truth.
Reports of the sighting of subma-
rines or periscOpes in American wa
ters have been frequent since the
United States entered the war, but
the fact that in this case wireless
messages telling of an attack by shell
fire were picked up by two steam
ships. gave today's reports the color of
the truth. in the opinion of shipping
men. Furthermore the captain of a
third incoming vessel reported he had
been instructed to watch out for sub
marines in western Atlantic waters It
was realized however, that 1t was pos
sible the messages were hoax.
The place where the attack was re-
ported Is in the steamship lane of
trans Atlantic ships calling at New
York and in the vicinity in which last
October the German U-53 sank five
steamships, sparing an American ship
as the United States was not then in
