GERMANS RELUCTANT
TO ADMIT FACT
That American Troops Have Taken Their
Places on the Front Line
in France.

Copenhagen, Oct. 30.-The first official
word of American expeditionary forces
in France is printed in the German news
papers without so far being accompanied
by any comment, although occasionally
sarcastic emphasis is placed in the head
lines on the reference to quiet sector
on the front. The American official dis
patch is, as rule, not included by the
newspapers in the general column of enc
my war reports. Most of the journals
are endeavoring to adhere to the fiction
that the United States is not regarded as
a full fedged member of the group hos
tile to the central powers.

PUBLIC TO BEAR CHARGES
War Is Going to Impose Many Levies on
the People.

New war taxes effective day after to
morrow, Nov. |, are calculated to dis.
tract attention from Liberty loans
Christmas bags and gloomy contempla-
tion of beefless Tuesdays and wheatIess
Thursdays, for if there is not enough
material in the oliing for the chronic
worrier now, his cup is due for a filling
anytime after tomorrow. For instance,
if one purposes travelling more than 35
cents worth on the railroad it will cost
| the traveller 8 per cent more than it
would had he made the journey week
ago. Mileage brokers in Barre as well
as ticket agents have adjusted their rou-
tine to the new order of things and
the change Thursday will not find them
unprepared.
The luxury of Pullmans, even on the
short haul, will mean a 10 per cent addi-
tion to the old cost of travel. For Barre
travellers, their worries need not begin
until they reach Montpelier Junction,
where most of the worry eenters anyway,
for it has been long day since Barre
saw Pullman that wasn't in the NOV
les. Leased mileages are not accepted
unless they bear revenue stamps obtain

Locally theatre men and movie man
ayers are making up their minds to act
before the first of the month nor will
the new order find them unready To
every l0-cent fare at the movies must be
added penny tax and for every 10 cents
in theatrical ticket one cent must be
added for the war tax. Manager j. f.
Hoban of the Barre opera house stated
this morning that patrons of the theatre
will have to pay the tax at |
the box Office. Proprietors of two NOV
ing picture establishments in Barre have |
indicated that they will have to jack the
fares five cents in order to clear them
selves. In this manner they assume the
per capita tax themselves, as well as the
tax attached to each film and then take
Il out of the patron en- bloc.
Letter postage, as everyone has been
luly warned in various ways, takes the
ascent Thursday and as for tobacco, re-
alters here have anticipated the tax by
putting into effect a schedule of prices
which compels the dealer and the GUS
omer to share the new burden. Sport
ng goods constitute another item on
which the war revenue is to be derived
4ocal sporting goods dealers are alive to
he impending change, as a 3 per cent
ddition must be collected from golfers,
"A seball clubs, etc. And from the stand
oint of the player the assumption is

ated more often, now that the sporting +,
