copperhead orators. In the past few
weeks anti-conscription speeches have
been heard in public places in our
large cities, and the government has
been compelled to take summary
measures to suppress reasonable out
bursts. We agree with the New York
Herald, our far-sighted contemporary,
that we are now locking the barn
door after the horse has been stolen.
Months ago we sounded a warning
note against the incendiary talk of an
archistic orators on the public squares
of New York and other large cities.
We hope that the department of JUS
tice will take a little time from the
prosecution of our captains of indus
airy to Jail these advocates of anarchy
1t is fortunate that a patriotic press
stands as the strongest safeguard
against the evil that the soap box
orators have been stirring up. Thru
out these critical days the American
press, as a unit, has supported the
President and the Administration.
Yet at this most inopportune moment
the House of Representatives has
been seeking to put burdens on the
press that would cripple every publ
cation and destroy many. Much to
the point is the inquiry of the New
York Financial Chronicles:
Suppose the press should refuse to
publish the addresses and messages of
the President and recall all their spe-
cial correspondents from Washington,
what would become of the admins
tration policies" ?How would the war
loan fare with the public? Who could
know the real object for which an
army is being conscripted, and bill
lions of the peoples money expended?
1t is reasonable to believe, in view
of the rising costs that cannot be
avoided, that a wise public policy
would exempt the press from any war
taxes on the ground that they are a
tax upon the intelligence of the citi-
zenry and a premium upon ignorance.

WAR TAXES

War taxes seem to be designated by
Congress for the express purpose of
financing the raising and maintenance
of large army and navy. To make
these taxes fair and just every per-
son should pay his or her proportion.
But unfortunately, the crisis has dev-
eloped some lively tax lodging among
our greatest men. Millionaires and
men of moderate means have already
taken alarm at the multiplicity of
taxes proposed and covered up their
assets in so clever a manner that it
will be nearly impossible to deter
mine what proportion should be as
sessed to them of the wars cost. One
of the latest tax lodging stunts has
been practiced by the body which is
responsible for much of the freak
tax legislation-Congre itself.
After everything imaginable had
been placed upon the proposed tax
schedule, a measure was introduced
taxing the salaries of the members of
Congress. After a long and acrimoni-
Gus debate the measure was voted
down by a vote of 147 to 142. Which
shows that Congress is decidedly
averse to taking its own medicine.
Another tax measure which died
aborning was the proposal to tax
newspapers. So bitter was the oppo-
sition to this measure by prominent
newspapers, that the measure was
dropper instanter. Now any person
who has kept pace with the times
knows that it is directly due to the
Negotiations of these papers that the
President was forced into the war
Attempt to inf1ame the minds of the
people the pressure on page after
page of subsidized news carefully
written to produce the results desir-
ed have been given to the public. The
newspapers have secured what they
were after and now desire to have
the public shoulder the heavy burden
of taxes brought about by their mani
pulations. The Prospector has no de-
sire to shirk its obligations to the gov
eminent. While the large papers will
make millions of dollars out of street
sales the small papers like the Pros
pector will hit the rocks; the high
cost of print paper has already put
many papers out of business and more
are tottering. But to allow papers
like the New York Times and the Sun
to escape paying a share of the bur-
den they have placed upon the peo-
pie would be mockery on justice.
And the automobile manufacturers
are also protesting against the tax.
While they are selling millions Of dol
lars worth of trucks to Uncle Sam
they object to returning 1.-THE to
their benefactor.
So when the final summary of the
tax question arises it will be found,
that the small property owner, the
consumer and the small merchant will
again bear the burden of the present
war, as they have been forced to bear
all tax burdens in the past.

The ambulance organization which
variously modified in details, now pre-
walls in all civilized armies. only dates
from the last decade of the l Sth CEN
fury. Before that time wounded SOL
diers were either carried to the rear
by comrades or left unattended to,
and exposed until the fighting is over.
Surgical assistance did not reach the
battlefield till the day after the en-
gagement, or even later; and for
many of the wounded it was then
too late.
In 1892 Baron Dominique Jean
Larrey of the French Army intro
duced his system of ambulance vol
antes, or flying hospitals, capable of
moving with speed from place to
place, like the flying artillery" of
that time Napoleon warmly support

ton, and the system was soon brot
to a high state of efficiency in the
Grande Armee.
An important step toward the anne
Iteration of the condition of the
wounded of armies in the field was
the European Convention signed at
Geneva in 1864, by the terms of which
subject to certain regulations, not
only the wounded themselves but al
so the official staff of ambulances and
their equipment were rendered neu-

Different regulations are made by

many and France such aid is officially
recognized and placed under direct
military control, the English Red
Cross Societies have acted side by
side with. but independently of, the
military AMBULANCE organization.
The obligations with regard to sick
and wounded in war on land are now
governed by the Geneva Convention
of July 9Th, 1906. BY this convention
