Lady Nicotine

ISGS0y ANGSONN10S
.IHamdmaidem of War is.
TIME tobacco famine from which
u American troops in France
have been suffering, was relieved by
a consignment of smokers" sent
from New York. French tobacco and
cigarettes could be had, but the home
brands were missing and there was a
form of smoke nostalgia which all
devotees of Lady Nicotine can under
stand.
Misguided reformers and elderly
maiden ladies to the contrary not
withstanding, tobacco is prime me-
cessity to the fighting man. How
many southern soldiers during the
civil war withstood the pangs of hun
ger stoically as long as they had a
quid of tobacco in their mouthsl From
the introduction of the habit it has
been the mainstay of military opera
tions.
Tobacco, as nearly everyone knows,
is indispensable in the trenches, where
soldiers could hardly endure the hor-
rors and suffering to which they are
exposed if there were not the solace
of smoke or chew. First aid to an
injured man usually includes cigar
cite, gently stuck between his teeth.
And your gallant aviators, those bird
men whose feats are almost incred-
ible, no sooner touch earth after a
series of battles in the air than they
call for a cigarette.
Soldiers are expected to make sac
rifices, and they make them gladly
where most of the comforts of life are
concerned, but deprive "Tommie, y
Or Sammy" or "Poilu" Of his to-
bacco and he becomes forthwith a
gloomy creature, filled with fore
boding and less amenable to discip-
line.

SANCTIONS
REVISED REPORT
War Tax Bill as Prepared by
Conferees Is Adopted with
out Roll Call.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The conference re-
port on the war tax bill was adopted by
the House to-day without a roll call. 1t
will be taken up in the Senate tomorrow.
Tomorrow senator Simmons will call
up the report in the Senate and he ex-
poets 1t to be adopted not later than Wed
nesday. Senator Smoot and others have
indicated hat they will make a fight on
certain features Of the report but it Is
not believed they can send 1t back to con-
ference. So confident are leaders that the
report will be adopted in its present form
that Democratic Leader Kitchin tonight
advised democrats that they were at lib
erty to 20 to their homes at will. He ex-
poets the session to end within a week or
10 days.
Virtually no opposition to the report
appeared in the Hous to-day during the
four hours 1t was under discussion. Mr..
Kitchin explained all of it's provisions at
length. enumerating particularly the
points on which the House won in con-
ference and Representative Fordney.
Michigan. the ranking republican member
Of the conferees. added his endorsement.
Representative Cooper of Wisconsin
roundly criticised the increase In second
class mail rates; Representative Green Of
Iowa insisted that the bill should ave
been at least $500. 600. 900 higher. A dozen
others spoke and the report was adopted.
Opinions still differ as to the amount
that the bill will raise. Mr.. Kitchin esti-
mated 1t at $2.575 900. 900. while treasury
experts believe 1t will be $2.53 900. 00O
during the coming year and possibly ST.
SIS. 1000 600 a year hen In full operation.
Official estimates as prepared by treas
ury experts differ materially from unofh-
cial estimates previously published only
in a few instances. Instead of $500. 900. 900
the income tax total is placed at $751;
900. 0o0; excess profits of one billion in
stead of 81, ITO. OOo, 900; tobacco at $50, 900. 900
instead Of $24.O O0. 900. and first-class mall
at SO. 0OO.O 900 instead of 5000 900.
During to-day's debate President Will
son was quoted by Representative Cooper
Of Wisconsin as an authority against the
zone system prescribed for second-class
matter. Mr.. Cooper also asked why
members placed a greater burden on the
newspapers and magazines and still held
on to their rural free delivery systems.
Publishers representatives here have
virtually abandoned hope of seeing the
new second class zone rate changed
though Senator Mcclellan is expected to
oppose It on the floor.

FOOD CRUSADE WEEK
ANNOUNCED BY HOOVER
Nations 22,OO0y0OO Families Aked to
Enroll for Saving.

EnrOll Tor SAVING
Washington, Sept. 30.-Herbert c.
Hoover, the food administration. has
issued an appeal to the country to join
in a huge movement for food conserva-
tion during the week from October 81
to 20. A house-to-house canvass of
the 1900. 900 families in the United
States will be a feature of the cam
paign, and every man n woman will
be asked to enroll. Food viii Win
the War" will be the slogan.
Mr.. Hoover made this personal p
peal:
THE week of October q to % has been
selected for a nationwide campaign to
complete the enrolment Of our forces In
conservation of our food supply.
THE harvest Is now in hand. and we
can measure the worlds food resources.
The available supplies this harvest year
are less thar last year: the demand upon
US 10 greater than last year. and from tho
last harvest we exported more than we
could really afford. We can only meet
the call upon Jus next year by savings and
by substitution OF commodities which
cannot be transported.
1.-THE allies are our first line Of defense.
They must be fed. n food will win the
war. All Europe Is on alton or restrict
ed supplies. Only In our " country 10
each one permitted to Judge for himself
the duty he owes his country in food con-
sumption, although the world depends
upon US to guard and provide its food
supply.
This Is a duty Of necessity. humanity
and n AS a free people we have
elected to discharge this duty. not under
autocratic decree. but without other re-
straint than the guidance Of individual
conscience. On the success Of this un.
precedented adventure in democracy will
largely stake the issue of the war;"

war upon bach other. We want every
man to show his hands in this conflict.
As Lincoln sent Vallandighan into the
southern lines while hat ex-member Of
Congress was talking sedition and treason
In the North so the President Of to-day.
President Wilson, would be justified In
sending to their German friends across
the Atlantic those who are giving aid and
comfort to the common enemy. We can we'll
spare them in this conflict. 1t would be bet
ter they should be with their friends in
Germany. thar that they should be al
lowed to continue their reasonable and
seditious u~tterances in the United States.
ford TO let 1t get to the point where It
will cause trouble for this country
that tim England was backing
Germany and, while 1 had both against
me, I paid little attention to England.
1t was the last flicker Of England's
antagonism to the United States.
Il called the attention of the ambas.
sador to the fact that Germany had a
squadron of warships near Venezuela.
threatening the mouth of the proposed
1sthmian Canal. I demanded a state.
ment Of what Germany meant by tenn
porary possession, saying l did not pro-
pose to have any 99.year leases.
THE ambassador toll me he did not
feel he was at liberty to discuss such
an important question. That confer
ence wound up with the following ul.
timatum:
"Tell your government that in ten
days 1t must arbitrate the matter or
I will send Dewey down there
"I cannot send such a message, Mr..
President: I do not think you realize
what 1t MEANS the ambassador re-
piled.
You think It means WARP I asked.
81 do not want to say what I
think was the reply.
"If 1t means war. you have chosen
the n spot where you can not fight
u.s. I replied. and then I showed by
maps u commanding position.
when he retired I sent word to
Dewey to be ready to sail on an hours
notice. About a week later. the am
bassador called on me, and admitted
that he had not dared send the mes
sage.
II then told him that I would order
Dewey to sail in 4s hours. He-told
me it would be an awful thing for
this country.
Eyes. but 1t will be more awful for
your country I replied.
Inside Of SO hours he came back
smiling and said he had received in
structions from the German govern
ment that they would arbitrate."
