The new war tax law will increase

Fighting on West Front

The fighting on the Western front
never ceases. Whether in the French
sectors Of. Verdun or the Aisne, or in
the English sectors of Arras and
Ypres, the fighting is only discontin-
ued at one point to be taken up at an
other. In addition to the bigi at
tacks, a quantity of carefully pre-
pared small actions, which have been
crowned with success and of which
the bulletins are not able to give a
clear idea, increase the attrition of the
Germans.
"This constant activity, co-incidine
with the weakness and inaction of the
Russians, also explains why the Ger
mans are obliged to maintain three
times larger forces on the French
front than on the Russian front.

The United States Government is

Grafton of transcendent magnitude on

tance that the whole aspect Of the war
may be changed. That is the informa-
ton that has come to The Herald from
a high and unquestionable authority.
There is reason to believe that the
long-expected desperation move" by
Germany has been started and that it
is being resisted with all the power
that the great fleets of the Allies can
bring into play.
The American, French and italian
naval forces are fully alive to the

At this time, when official news has
not been received, it is impossible tc
state that the German grand fleet
which has been in course Of prepare.

engagement with the Allies, has lef
its base to give battle to the Allies
Nor is it possible to state that th'
Allied fleet has driven "the rat from

But it is possible to state, upon th
information in hand, that grave mat

SENATOR LA TOILETTE
CALLED TRAITOR BY
DIR. HIBBEN, PACIFIST
Princeton President Says United
States Must War to End to
Defeat AutOcracy

WASHINGTON, Oct. s. - Denounc-
ing pacifists and pro-Germans in Wig
orous language and ringing tones,
John Grier Hibben, president OF
Princeton University, in an address
delivered by him Saturday, referred
to La Toilette as the man "who took
two hours and half to prove that his
traitorous utterances were not trail
torous.
Loud and prolonged applause greet
ed this reference to an incident fresh
in the public mind.
DR.. Hibben declared that he is a
pacifist in the highest and best mean-
ing of that term, because he is op-
posed to war, but he said that it is
absolutely necessary that this war
be prosecuted to the bitter end" in or
der that the peace so earnestly desir-
ed by the civilized world should be
made permanent, and that no perma-
nent peace could be secured until the
German idea of autocracy and Teuton-
ic racial superiority was absolutely
Ell ladicated.
"The German idea," said DR.. Hib-
ben, "is that might makes right that
necessity knows no law and that
"the end justifies the means. Such
doctrine" he exclaimed, "are damna-
ble."
President Hibben said the Allies
and the United States are fighting
for the establishment of ideals "borr
in America 150 years ago." and he
expressed the belief that the descend
ants of the men who had conceived
those ideas would defeat them ably
and loyaly on foreign battlefields al
their ancestors had on American soil

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. - Order
a stack of corn or a stack of kafir

vice being given now.
The department is urging restau-
rants and hotel proprietors to instruct
their chefs to prepare and have ready
for use batter for corn cakes each
morning SO that patrons may orded

The following recipe is recommend
ed for corn meal pancakes: One cup

one-half tablespoon sugar, l table,
spoon melted butter, l egg, cup milk
Mix the dry ingredients, add melted
