GEN. PERSH|NG RESENTS
ATTEMPT TO BELNT[E
Says Americas Fighting Men Will
Garry Allies Cause to Successful
Issue Over Germany.

By the Associated Press.
AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
FRANCE. October (delayed).-Amert-
cas- fighting men will carry the cause
of the entente allies to a successful
issue over Germany. Gen. Pershing.
commander-in-chief of the American
forces in France, declared today. His
statement was in answer to reports that
the war on the western front will re-
suit In a stalemate.
American newspapers recently ar
rived in France telling of efforts In GER
tain quarters In the United States to
spread the idea that the western front
can never be broken or the Germans
driven out of France have aroused not
only Gen Pershing. but the entire
has been caused by the information
that these reports had been taken up
by German newspapers in an attempt
to helittle Americas effort In the war.
German propaganda working In
America through the agency of our
paciflsts would spread this idea among
our people in order to weaken our in
itiative," said Gen. Pershing.
Having lost It's tactical advantage
In the Ypres salient. which 1t enjoyed

the hammering British assaults.
Germany on the Defensive.
Everywhere on the western front.
despite the large number of German
troops which the Russian situation has
released. Germany is on the defense
and the allies are on the offensive.
America has the resources in men
and material. once they are prepared.
to add the weight which must force a
military decision against Germany Our
troops are imbued with a spirit of ag
gressiveness, a spirit that means we
are going to win this war and that we
have no Idea of allowing ourselves to
be Influenced by pacifists or enemy
propaganda. Neither have we any false
notions that victory is going to be an
easy matter But that only makes our
determination stronger.
Every man from top to bottom has
entered this war imbued with the fight
ing spirit, which means that the cause
of the allies will be carried to sue

PRICE Of "SMOKES"
DUEFOR ABOOST
War Tax on Cigars and Tobac-
co will Cause a Grad
ual Rise.
SOME ALREADY ADVANCED

Again the price of smokes" Is being
hoosted- Poor ~Aloysius'' will be forced
to consume his cigars little closer to
the scorching point as result OF the
war tax.
The tax on cigars and tobacco went
into effect Immediately, and In conse-
ouence some Washington retailers have
already put up the price 10 the con-
sumner. Some, however. are waiting IN
til they get in new goods ana nave 10
nay the tax in increased charges. 1t
is said that the price advance Will be
general after the LIST of November
On. of the largest retail dealers said
TODAY to his customers that he has not
yet put up his prices, but expects ne
will have to soon.
Higher Fipure on "So1ne Brands"
Another manager of a chain of well
known cigar stores notified several To-
cal branches of an increased price ON
some brands" and nearly every GUS
toner found that his particular favorite
brand was one of the some" Cigars
that have been selling for 10 cents
straight were marked up to two Tor a
quarter. Others that were three for
quarter are now 10 cents straight
While some retailers have put an In
creased price on cigarettes. raising to s
cents and two for a quarter, others say
that they understand cigarettes generally
will be sold for the same price as here
tofore. but that there will be fewer In
package.
The manufacturers side of the tax ef-
feet, with especial reference to how II
will affect the consumer, was told today oy
Henry T Offterdinger, a local manufac-
turer. He said that there will probably
be little change in prices for the smoker
during this month. but that after Novem-
Der l the retail prices will commence to
climb.
After the first of the month the 1o-cent
he says, and those that have been two
for a quarter will be Is cents straight
Some Of the 1o-cent cigars will be re-
duced In size. The wholesale price OF B.
cent cigars has been put up so cents
hundred and most of these goods are now
being sold at cents straight.
That the cigar manufacturing trade viii
be reyolutionized within a year Is the
belief Of Mr. Offterdinger. He says that
this must be done gradually because the
manufacturers have supplies OF boxes al
ready on hand. The size OF cigars Will Do
reduced he says. and other changes made.
This is due. Mr. Onterdinger says. Is
much to shortage Of tobacco and the with
to accept better pay elsewhere as to any
other cause The war tax is but one OF a
number Of circumstances that the manu-
facturers have to consider at this time.
He says that the war tax would not OF
itself affect the consumer II the Hanufac-
turers were not already forced to unusual
expenses in turning out their PRODUCTS

RUSS REVOLT |S B|G BLOW ID
 GERMANY
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, March 15. - The overthrow of the Russian autocracy was accepted in all quarters here as a complete victory for the anti-German sentiment in the empire. removing virtually all chance of Russia being drawn away from her allies into a separate peace.
 The sensation created by the news of the successful revolution, the turn ing out of the ministry and the arrest of the pro-Germans was followed by another more profound. when press dispatches anneuuced the abdication of Emperor Nicholas. The revolution was wholly unexpected. and before noon today the state department re- ceived meagre official information about it from Petrograd. But the abdication of the emperor was dumb founding to both official and diplomatic circles.
 According to one unually we'll in- formed diplomat the Grand Duke Michael .AleXanderovitcl.. proclaimed regent, has been bitter personal antagonist of the emperor since the latter refused to recognize his mar riage divorcee some years ago. More over, the grand duke is said to have opposed the emperor on every public occasion that has arisen.
