Cossacks in Parade

Petrograd, July 29-Negotiat.ons for
the reconstruction Of the Cabinet are
delayed owing to the conditions raised
by the non-Sociaiist parties, and also
by the departure Of Premier Kerensky
for the front.
The Premier has decided that the
rev Cabinet will be comprised Of if
teen or sixteen members, all equal in
power. The Constitutional Democrats,
W. AstroF and u. Kishkin, both minis
terial candidates, have handed 20 the
Premier a statement Of the conditions
upon which they will collaborate. Chief
among these are war b. the side Of
the Allies until victory is gained, a
definite home policy in the struggle
against anarchy and postponemenJ Of
social reforms until the constituent
assembly is convened.
The Constitutional Democrats are
resolutely opposed TO the Minister Of
Agriculture, ". Tcheruoif They also
appear 70 be against the Foreign Min
ister. VI. TerestchenkO. But the Pre-
mier saws he will refuse TO sacriHce

and make a huge contribution in aero

OF the situation on the West front,
he writes:
The main military problem is in the
West. We never believed that a frontal
attack or what is Germany's strongest
flank would be other than the longest
slOwest and most costly method. We
held that the only possible way OF
shortening the war within three-year
period-and We ought 70 have short
ened that period instead of accepting
twas By resolute action IN the East.
But though the chances there are still
important, the decisive possibilities
that were open 20 Us IN the nrst two
years no longer exist. We are COM

ran through the crowd. Careful march
ing units became entangled in a hope
less disorder. Crowds broke and ran
in all directions, no one knowing what
had happened, but all recognizing q
familiar sign OF approaching panic.
When no shots were fred the process
sion gradually fell back into step, and
il was discovered that the cause Of the
uueas!ness was the rearing of horse
which had broken its harness. No
harm was done and the procession was
soon on its way again, but the incident
served TO show the nervousness Of the
crowd and the secret apprehension
that the day would not pass without
trouble.

War Depends on Ships
London Critic Declares u. S.

London. July %. - The observer"
arguing that the Western Allies, even
without Russia, are more powerful
than the Central Powers, says:
THE real crux Of the whole war is
20 provide ships for American require
ments. We refuse for Il single moment
20 believe that the United States will
fail 20 rise 70 the crisis. The cause
needs every single ton of maritime
carrying power that the United States
can muster now or launch later.
"No possible shipbuilding effort Of
this country alone can provide the
huge additional tonnage demanded by
coming American requirements. To
get fairly ahead Of the submarines the
United States must launch at least the
same amount of tonnage as that men

No Official EXPLANATION

of the reason underlying the decision
20 withhold from publication announce
ment of the arrival of troops. II u
understood, however, that Secretary
Baker believes that with large troop
movements in prospect as the new army
or the National Guard is made ready
for the front it would be unwise 70 call
the attention Of the German authori-
ties 70 what is going on.
Not all War Department officials
Ggree with the new ruling. The Secre-
tary is supported, however, by the
ouinions of some of the highest army
officers, and there seems little doubt
that the department is about 70 estao-
lfsh q system for the supervision OF
press dispatches 20 prevent the an
rouncement Of arrivals Of troop trans
ports in France.
Secretary Daniels of the Navy De-
partment, although he may not share
Secretary Bakers views in this regard,
will not permit the announcement
from mis- department of army infOrma-
tion Mr.. Baker desires withheld. The
attitude Of the Navy Department has
beer that the whole matter OF troop
TRANSFORMATION is War Department
matter. although the actual routing OF
the troop ships and the task Of pro
tecting them at sea belongs to the
navy.
The objection to publication Of troop
arrivals is not expected TO extend 70
properly censored reports OF the
activities Of the american troops IN
France. Il is possible, in fact, that
gystem Of regular official announce
rents BY the War Department on me
military situation will shortly be IN
argurated. The Secretary IS known TO
have some such plan under consldera-
rion.

British Taxes Heavier

Comparison Of the normal income

the House with those new assessed in
England is sufficient, Mr. Kitchin de-

American rates are not excessive. As

Washington, July 29-Tax burdens

creased, declares Majority Leader
Ki,chin, chairman Of the House Ways
and Means Committee, in raising the
additional S5,OOO,OOO,OOO required to
carry on the war until July l, 1918.
Ability 70 pay should be the only
standard upon which the tax should be
assessed, Mr.. Kitchin will insist, and
he believes the taxes on necessaries al
ready contemplated place about as
large q burden on the poor man as he
ean stand. The first and largest ad-
vances, he argues, should be made,
therefore, in. normal income and excess
profits taxes.
L the tax bill now pending viii pro-
vide sufficient funds TO meet expenses
until some time early next year, as Ad-
ministration leaders say, Mr.. Kitchin
believes Congress should not draft a
new tax measure before next session.
Mr. kitchin Will confer on that point
with Secretary McAdoo, however, be-
fore he takes IN the situation formally
with his committee.
"This is 8 war for democracy, we in

strictly upon ability 20 pay.
Young Mems Sacrifices
"We are taking young men Of mill
tary age into the army, without con-
sultirg their wishes, and asking them
10 make the greatest sacrifices. Often
times they will be forced to give up
their businesses and always their earn
ing capacities for their government.
Then, in addition 20 that, we force them
70 risk their lives When a man has
given up his business and risked his
life he comes near making a 100 per
cent sacrifice.
u intend that the men who can pay
in money shall pay. I want the man
who comes home with an empty sleeve

him away has not favored the profit
taker who stayed at home
Members OF the ways and Means
Committee are undecided as 20 what
portions Of the required S5,ooO,O10, 600
should be raised by taxation and by
bonds. A general feeling appears TO
prevail on both sides of the Capitol
however, that at least $1,000, 900, 900
should be raised by taxation.
Democratic House leaders deny Wig
orously that they favor ruinous taxes
on any big business enterprises. They
say they realize that many businesses
Gid not make profits for several years
prior 20 the war, and they are willing
that these industries shall be given
time 20 adjust themselves before
larger taxes are levied. In this con-
Eection strong arguments for delaying
the framing Of new revenue bill are
being advanced.

BIG SERVICE NEXT YEAR
Tourists Making Alaska Trip Returning to Their Homes Well
 Pleased.

VANCOUVER, B. C., Sept. 21.- When it is considered that there was a shipping strike this year the tourist season to Alaska must be reckoned good one, said MT H. w. Brodie, general passenger az ent for the c. P. R.. today. Mr. Brodie said the company officials were highly gratified with the sea son that is just about drawing to a close and he anticipated that 1918 respects.
 We had" he said "a passenger business almost equal to that of last year and we would have ex. ceeded that considerably had it not been for the labor troubles when we were obliged to withdraw the Prin- cess Charlotte from the service for some time There is no doubt, said MT. Brodie, that we will be able to have an extended service next year, as the Alaska trade is being advertised extensively. What is better than that is that we are sending home thousands of passen- gers who have expressed them. selves as perfectly satisfied in every way with the trip which has ex- ceeded all their expectations. We have not had a single complaint during the season now closing"

 "The eastern tourist business fell off considerably this summer when the United States declared war but the California business held up good work but from now on there is little business which would warrant us continuing to operate the large boats on the northern run.
 The Prince John will come on the route, making fortnightly schedule. and passengers will trans fer at Prince Rupert, which will enable them to go to- Seattle on the larger steamers" he said.
