PRESIDENT WILSON ACTS
TO RELIEVE FOOD CRISIS
Congress and Executive Aroused by
Bread Riots-Cars Are Rushed
to the West.

Washington, Feb. "a. - President
Wilson is determined that there shall
be ample food for the people at red
sonable prices.
This likewise Is the determination
Of congress.
The seriousness of the situation Is
appreciated both at the White House
and the capitol. Lack of food and
the high cost of food already are re-
spOnsible for riots at several points.
The administration and congress pro-
pose to take measures to prevent this
situation becoming dangerous.
The president is pressing the inter
state commerce commission to see
that ample car facilities shall be pro-
vided for the transportation of neces-
saries of life. The commission in
turn is pressing the railroads, which
are as active as possible under the
circumstances.
In response to the demand for &C.
ton, the interstate commerce COM
mission caused many empty freight
cars to be rushed west at express
train speed for use in moving needed
provisions to points at which there is
serious scarcity. They said the acute
stage of the shortage had passed.
Officials of both the railroads and
the commission expressed the convic-
ton that the acute stage of the short
age had passed and that steady inn
provement in the situation would con-
tinue. At no time, it was said, had
conditions reached the acuteness of the
tieup of q year ago.

r. A. Haden, American Missionary,
Dies Following Attack.

Washington. Feb. z6.-Robert Allen
Haden, an American Presbyterian mis-
sionary situated at Foochow, China,
lost his life when the French liner
Athos was destroyed by submarine
30 miles east of Malta on February
IL. Consul Keblinger at Malta cabled
report of Hardens death to the state
department on Friday and said that
the missionary's address was given as
in care of the Presbyterian mission
board at Nashville, Tenn.
The nationality Of the submarine
was not given.
Consul Keblinger said the Athos was
carrying troops and may have been a
transport. No steps can be taken I'M
til this fact is definitely determined.
This government probably will have no
cause for action II such is the case.

GERMANS IN BIG
RETREAT ON s0MME
British Advance to Depth of
Three Miles in France.
FOUR TOWNS ARE CAPTURED
English Troops Seize Positions Evacu-
ated by Foes During Dense Fog
plan Advance on Ba.
paume.

British Headquarters in France,
Feb. 27.-On one portion Of the British
front, at least, the war on Sunday be-
came war of movement.
Under cover Of heavy fog and mist,
the Germans carried out the greatest
retirement they have made on the
western front in the last two years.
The British have swept into possess
sion of Pys, Serre, Miraumont and Pet
1T Miraumont, including the famous
Butte de Warlencourt, which has been
the scene of some of the fiercest fight
ing of the war, and in places is deep
with the bones of dead men.
The German retirement is estimated
at depth of three miles at some
points.
The British expect to be in a posi-
ton to force the evacuation OF Ba-
paume, which has been the key to the
German position since the beginning of
the battle Of the Somme.
The points which already have
fallen into the British hands have
stood out in the history of fighting
on this front and were most stubbofnly
defended. Only week ago, when the
British attacked on a two-mile front
east and south of Miraumont and Pys.
the German resistance was bitter and
the high ground desired was won only
after desperate hand-to-hand encoun-
tiers and the taking of more than 800
Germans prisoner.
The British had been waiting for q
clearing of the foggy weather before
pressing the advance, bur meantime it
is apparent that the German high COM
mand decided to retire without any
further fighting to stronger positions
prepared well to the rear.
Friday night fires were observed in
the German front-line trenches. They
were only dimly visible through the
thick mist of the particularly black
night, but 1t was discovered that the
flames issued from burning German
dugouts.
Patrols sent forward reported the
evacuation Of the German outposts.
Similar reports came from north of the
Ancre, and by nlghtfall Saturday the
British had established themselves In
Petite Miraumont and advanced all
along the line, meeting only with snip
ing resistance here and there.
On Sunday the British patrol pressed
forward, keeping in close contact with
the Germans, who had retreated a
further 1000 yards during the night.
Thus the way was opened to ground
which fol months had been contested.
Thsre were bursts of stiff resistance
from German obstructing parties
which had been scattered in the rear
of the retiring columns. A big mine
was exploded in the main street of
Miraumont just before the British ad-
vance patrols entered.

1915 STATE INCOME
TAX IS s5,344,3S3
CORPORATIONS PAY $3,743,t so
WHILE INDIVIDUALS ARE
ASSESSED s1,6o1,213.
MINE OPERATORS PAY MOST
Lead Bankers In Last Years Assess
ment--Fourteen Persons in Wis
consin Have incomes over
100000.

Madison-There are $50 taxpayers
cess of $4,000 annually. These con-
stitute one-siXth of i per cent of the
total number of taxpayers, who are
assessed for 1896 per cent of the ag-
gregate tax and the average tax on
each person in this group is $4S65.e2.
These facts are contained in the forth
coming report of the Wisconsin tax
commission. For the year 1916, which
tax is now being collected. total tax
of 1894, S93.51 was assessed. OF this
sum, 49, 743, 1906 was assessed
against corporations and $1,601 ,213.35
against individuals. Corporations pay
approximately 70 per cent of the tax
assessed.
A total Of 62,272 individuals paid in
come taxes in Wisconsin this year and
of this number 42,422 had assessable
incomes of $1,000 or less. There are
fourteen persons in Wisconsin who
have incomes in excess of 100000,
and these fourteen individuals pay
slightly better than IL per cent of the
entire tax assessed against individu-
ais. While these figures are surpris-
ing, it is fact that $50 taxpayers. with
incomes in excess of $4,000 in the
state. actually receive 1856 per cent
of the total income of all taxpayers.
Contrary to the common belief, farm
ers of the state are assessed for 1856
per cent of the entire tax on individ-
uals. 1t is also interesting to note that
in the past two years the class of mine
operators has climbed from sixth to
first place in the amount of tax pay
able. Bankers and capitalists, who
led in 1914, with an average tax per
taxpayer of s116.33. are forced to take
second place to the mine operators,
whose average tax is $14S,70. The in
crease in the mining tax Is caused by
the impetus given the industry as the
result of the European war. The 116
mine operators comprise only nine
teen-hundredths of l per cent of the
total number of taxpayers CT 62,272,
but pay 1,07 per cent of the total tax
agains individuals.
