ENDANGER PETROGRAD
By Making a Landing They Might Prove Very Dangerous to
 Russians.

LONDON, Oct. 13. - German troops have been landed on the islands of Oehel and Dago, at the entrance of the Gulf of Riga, in the Baltic sea, according to Pe- trograd dispatches received here to- day.
 These troops have been landed 100 miles north of Riga near the mouth of the Gulf of Finland and an easy access to the mainland for landing is presented.
 By occupying Esthonia the land ing Germans forces would threat en to outdank the Russian lines and probably compel a retreat along a wide section, and most probably open the way to Petro- grad

an employee Geo. III. Chase, now a

FRIGHTENING" is BARRED
IN ENGLAND DURING WAR

In England, the ban has been put
upon the old custom of making great
profits out of war, and it is not true
in England today that the rich are
growing richer, as is usually the case
with a nation at war, and as has been
the case in the United States to a
tremendous degree during the last
two and one-half years.
England looks to the rich man to
finance the war, and sc England taps
him on the shoulder and calls him
aside and tells him to dig. The gov
eminent takes so per cent of the ex-
cess profits made by all concerns
which are big enough to be tagged as
Ia controlled establishment" Suppose
such alb usiness was making $40. 900
before the wal began and is now max
ing 100000. The government lets
the owner keep his $4,000 and 20
per cent of the additional profits. The
wner of the business takes his $685.
900, and the government pockets the
$64, 900.
But that is not all. In a few days
another government agent comes
along to collect the income tax from
the individual. This tax is one-third.
Thus another $4,000 goes into the
Golfers of the government to help it
pay the tremendous expenses of the
war.
This leaves the owner with $24,OO
profits instead of 100000 But he is
not through yet. He has still to deal
with the local taxpayer and by the
time that interview is ended, there is
a complete deflation of the swollen
fortunes %aceruing fro mthe war.
