BILLS NOT GERM CARRIERS
qarding the Danger Of Handling
SoiIed Paper Money.

A contributor to the Journal of the
American Medical association citing
the popular opinion Of few years ago
in respect to soiled paper money, says
1t is today regarded by many as ex-
tremely dangerous to handle, and
many people still insist on clean bills
when they are getting change. Bank
tellers rarely exhibit such aversion,
nor do they give a history of excep-
tional incidence of infectious disease.
Currency has been blamed for the
spread of disease and death, especial
ly when it has been difficult to find the
true etiologic agency. 1t is recalled
that not long ago a case of myXedema
was regarded as the outcome of count
ing money.
Because Of such apparently eXag-
gerated cOntehtiOnS, an actual investi-
CATION Of the bacteria present on
soiled money was made by Professor
Hilditch, who arrived at the conclu-
sion that money constitutes an I'M
important factor in the transmission
of disease 1t is pointed out that a
more frequent redemption of sOiled
and worn bills is necessary, yet the
facts and evidences at hand do not
Justify the needless alarming of the
public by rash statements concerning
currency.

TOLD U. S. PEACE IDEAS
President Greets Members Of Japan,s
Mission at White House,

Washington, Aug. 24.-Voicing his
hope that efforts now being exerted by
an indignant humanity will lead at the
proper time to the complete establish
ment of justice and to a peace which
will be both permanent and serene,
President Wilson received ViscOunt
1shii, special ambassador and head Of
Japan's mission to the United States.
The hope as expressed by Mr.. Wilson
was part of his answer to an autograph
letter from the japanese emperor con-
graduating the people of the United
States on their decision to enter the
war against Germany. In presenting
his credentials to President Wilson
ViScount Ishii said the auSpiciOuS CO.

FEELING CAUSES =
R|OT|NC IN TEXAS
new BRITISH GAINS
Haig's Men Advance in Ypres
and Lens Sectors.
Entente Allies Have Captured $4,000
Prisoners on Western Front
Italians Win.

London, Aug. 24.-Further gains, by
British troops are reported from the
Ypres and Lens sectors, with the Cana
dians, particularly the men from Mani
toba, again distinguishing themselves.
SO far In the month of August the
allies on western fronts have taken
$500 prisoners. Maj. Gen. F. B.
Maurice of the London war office pre-
diets that the total will reach 10000
before the month ends.
AT Verdun the French, whose pris-
oners to date total 1859, have made
no further infantry attacks. The
ground they now hold includes some
OF the most important positions of
their old line as existing before the
German Verdun drive of 1916. LIE
Mort Homme and hill 304 are among
them, but not yet hill 304.
AT Lens the Canadians have worked
their way farther into the environs
of the coal city, and in Belgium, near
Ypres, Field Marshal Haig's men
have been victorious In two-days'
battle, making gains over their front
varying in depth from half a mile to
few hundred yards, notwithstand-
ing the tenacious resistance Of the
leg1Ons Of Crown Prince Rnpprecht
On both the northern and southern
ends of the battle line in the Austro-
Italian theater the Italians have
pressed forward their line for cOnsid-
cradle new gains against the Aus
TRANS. The counter-attacks of the
AuStrians are of the most extreme
violence, but nowhere have they been
able to diSlodge the Italians. An In
stance of this is the holding for three
days under most vicious counter
strokes of strong Austrian position
captured southeast of Dosso Faiti.
More than 10000 prisoners already
have been taken by the Italians.

PULL WILSON OUT OF MUD
President and Wife Go Into Ditch
While Out Motoring.

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 24.-President
and Mrs. Wilson are fond of motoring
over the rolling country of Maryland,
but an unpleasant experience they had
the other evening on the Belair road
has become known. Accompanied by
secret service mea they were enjoy
ing the trip when, in turning, their
limousine backed off the smooth, oiled
highway into a mire into which the
wheels of the machine sank almost out
of sight. The chauffeur and secret
service men called farmer with a
mule team, but the mules tugged in
vain and the president smiled at their
efforts. A little later Baltimore man
driving a five-ton truck came along
and in short time the trucks power
full motor pulled out the Ne idential
car.

SAYS WAR WILL RUN YEARS
italian General Says Peace Talk Pro-
Ionqs Conflict

Chicago, Aug 24-"From the mill
tary point of view the war has many
years to run. 1t has just begun" said
General Guglielmotti, member of the
Italian commission to the United
States, who arrived in Chicago to be
present at the opening production Of
the Italian war pictures az the Audi
forum last night.
ITO talk peace" he said, sis the sur
est way to wreck the morale of your
country and to retard effective prep
aration. 1t is good and wise that
America entered the war; Had she not
she would have had to stand alone in
the event of a Prussian victory. With
her help the allies are certain of sue
cess"
g The best way to beat Germany, he
said, was first to conquer Austria and
permit Italy to seize the Prussians by
the back.

U. S GOES TO
AID OF RUSSIA
Huge Loan and Supplies Prom
ised to Government at
Petrograd.
MOSCOW TOLD ALL Is WELL
Agreement Reached Following Series
of Conferences Between Presi-
dents Cabinet and Russa's
Ambassador.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Riga, the
gateway to Petrograd, is in peril from
the Germans, If it has not already
fallen into the hands of Hindenburg's
men. The rumor of the fall of the Bal
tic seaport has been current In Wash
ington all day. Our state department
denies that 1T has received any con-
frmatiOn Of the story and the Russian
embassy is as noncommittal, but there
some untoward happening in Russia,
and the indication of German aggres-
sion in the Riga section is generally
taken to be the reason for them.
There has been an 'eXtraOrdinary
national council" called to take place
In Moscow. There the political battle
for the mastery of Russia will take
place between the forces of disorder
and the elements behind Kerensky. 1t
may be that the word Is a prophesy
that the Russian dictator, in whose
ability to hold Russia, together the
allies have placed their faith will be
defeated and deposed.
This would mean a scramble, during
which Germany's progress into the
Russian interior would be limited only
by her caution in extending her lines.
u. S. to Aid Russia.
The United States government has
decided to meet every demand upon
it by the Russian geyerlAnent. A
series of conferences participated in
by members of the presidents cabinet
and Russian Ambassador Bakhmetieff
resulted in a cablegram being sent to
the Moscow conference that "all is
WE'LL"
A huge loan and assurance Of imme
diate supplies to Russia were among
the things agreed upon.
A note to the Russian government
reply to Foreign Minister Tere-
schenko's recent message assuring CO.
operation of Russia In the war-will
be sent by the state department today.

Chancellor Says America Brought
China Into War

London, Aug. 24.-Sections of the
speech of the imperial German chan
cellor, Doctor Michaelis, before the
reichstag main committee on the
pope's peace note, received by the Brit
ish admiralty, per Wireless Press and
through Reuters Hague correspondent,
follows:
GAS regards our enemies, their num-
Der has increased since the adjourn
ment of the reichstag by three
namely: Siam, Liberia and China.
These countries have no convincing
reason for enmity against us. They
acted solely under pressure Of the
entent and the United States, the lat
ter having great influence over Liberia
and China. We have made it clear to
these countries that we shall bring
them to account for the damage done
under international law to German in
terests''
After referring to the solidarity of
Germany and her allies, the chancellor
read telegram from Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg declaring that the
military situation was more favorable
for Germany than ever.

ported in a Central News dispatch

SENATE REJECTS PLAN
Defeats La Toilette Amendment
to Revenue Bill.
Charged Those Desiring to Make War
Unpopular Are Behind Plan to In
crease Tax Rates.

Washington, Aug. 24.-After an
other days debate, embittered by
charges that those desiring to make
the war unpopular and embarrass the
administration were behind the move
ment to greatly increase tax rates in
the war tax bill, the senate rejected,
5S to 81, Senator La Follettes amend
ment to raise S65S, 7S4,000 from indi-
viduals' incomes instead of $49O, ,164,-
000 as proposed in the bill.
The fight to increase the income tax
rates will be resumed today with par
tisan lines lost Senator La Toilette
has pending two more substitutes for
the income tax schedule, proposing to
levy about $6O0,000,0O0 and $505, 5,0O0,-
600 respectively, and Senator Hollis
late-in the day introduced another sub
stitute proposing to raise about $780,
100000.
In heated discussion preceding the
veting Senator Simmons, chairman Of
the finance committee, and Senator
La Toilette clashed sharply over the
latter'S amendment. Senator Sim
mons gave vigorous expression to SEN
timents which for several days have
smoldered in private cloakroom discus
sion by declaring that interests seek
ing to embarrass the administration,
and against the war policy, were inter-
ested in making the bill unpopular by
increasing it's tax burden.
Senator La Toilette retorted with
a denunciation of any atte It to ques-
ton the loyalty of those advocating a
greater tax levy and the charge that
the bill as drawn indicated devotion
to big incomes and war profits"
Senator Borah spoke briefly in favor
of higher taxation of war profits and
incomes. He said when the bonds now
being issued come due there would be
no war profits to-taX.
Senator Stone, finance committee
member, said he was surprised at the
unexpected and somewhat formidable
opposition to the committees revi-
sion work and urged the senate to sup
port the bipartisan majority draft
