"As Good as Yours"

Recently there arrived at one of our Atlantic ports an American who re- gently managed to get out of Russia. He tells an amusing story illustrative of the chaos and the lack of respect for government which recently have come into existence in Russia,
 The Kerensky government, it seems, at one time put out an issue of forty ruble notes. They were about the size of q large postage stamp, and quite artistic in design. Almost immediate ly they were copied by band of coun- terfeiters, who in an ecstasy of frank contempt for the government, printed across the face of their notes:
 "Ours are just as good as yours"
 As an example of Slavic humor, 1t must be- admitted that this has it's merits. And as things are turning out. the words of the counterfeiters were apparently as true as they were amus- ing.

M 'ADO0 FAV0RS 80 PER CENT TAX
 ON WAR PROFITS
Would Render Unnecessary Increase in Excess Prof
 it's Tax, He Says.

Chicago, Aug. 7.-William c. Me- Adoo, secretary of the treasury, to- night declared himself unreservedly in favor of flat war profits tax of 80 per cent. .}
 "The adoption of an 80 per cent war profits tax should render unnecessary, and I believe undesirable, any in- crease in the existing excess profits tax rate" he declared.
 Secretary McAdoo, who spent the day inspecting Chicago railway facili- ties, also announced that the next Lib erty lean and any others that may fol- low will be on a 4 IA per cent basis.
 "The situation must be kept sound by stabilizing the rate at ALA per cent interest" he said. "It is to the interest of the people, the banker, and the business men because if the gov ernment raises it's bid for money, then all industry will have to pay propor- tionately more for new capital"

MADE POT PIE OF
 CARRIER PIGEONS,

London, Aug. 7.-(By The Asso- ciated Press Correspondent recently in Rumania.)-The most expensive pigeon pie which perhaps has ever been served anywhere was enjoyed by members of the allied diplomatic col ony in Jassy last spring.
 One February afternoon one of the Allied Ministers received a crate of fine pigeons. There was no mark to indicate the sender. The pigeons were killed and cooked that evening, and 8 number of Ministers colleagues, in- cluding American Minister Vopicka, had their fill of pigeon pie.
 A week later a delayed telegram reached the Minister who had been host at the dinner, it was from a high military officer of his Govern ment, directing him as to the disposal of "very valuable consignment" of carrier pigeons which had been sent him afted long course of training and which were designed to take an important part in certain highly con- fidential negotiations then pending.

FOUND MAN TO COOK CORN
Lucky Find soI~sd Big Problem for One of Hoover's Helpers in Hard
 Times in Belgium.

A cargo of corn sent to the com mission for. the relief of Belgium early in 1916 was problem to; dis pose of until Robinson Smith, one of Hoover's helpers, ran into luck on dusty Belgian road one day. > .,t
 None of the Belgians had ever used American corn. The cargo was useless unless some one could be. found who knew how to cook 1t. Smith was thinking over the prob- len, as he drove along in his, car, he related the other day. He .espied Q ragged-looking negro sitting by the roadside. He drew up his car: D .Hi
 "Are you an American citizen2' he asked the bundle of rags.
 '.1 doan know, boss" the bundle an- swered. q comes from Nohfolk. All I knows is ain't got no business heah, sah.'' ', 5FH'' !,
 "But you can cook, can't. your" Smith asked with rising hope. 4
 "Bes' thing do, sah" :'- <, ",
 Without pass for him, Smith was perplexed as to how he could get the find back to Brussels: He took & chance and put the negro in the rear of the machine under blanket and drove him off to the 0. R. B. kitchs ems.
 They put him in a chefs uniform and brought in the corn. The way the Belgians ate corn pone, corn bread and corn cakes made that cargo go so quickly the c. R. B. soon had no problem on its hands.

15O Hun Submarines Destroyed During War, Says Lloyd GerOrge
British Premier Reviews Struggle Eve of Adjournment of House of Commons Praises Foch's Blow
 as Most Brilliant of War.

the subject of peace, said that the people who had made the war were still in evidence and they could noa have peace so long as they were pre- dominate in the councils of the ene-- my. Every one wanted peace, the pre-. mier added, but it must be a peace that was just and durable-one with power behind it. In further reference to the fighting in France, the pre- mier declared it was too early to say the German effort has been exhaust ed. The Germans still had powerful forces in reserve, he pointed out but it was not too early to say that the German effort has been exhausted The Germans still had powerful forces in reserve, he pointed out, but it was not tco early to say that the chance which they had on March 21 would not again present itself.
 The American army, the premier said, would soon be not far short of the German army itself.
 Dealing with the German offensive against the British, MT. Lloyd George said at first there were many anxious moments and the losses were con- siderable in men and material. But in month, before the battle was ov- CT, he added 355,OOO men had been sent across the channel to take the places of those lost, and in six weeks the Germans had been hurled back and fought to a standstill.
 Huns Being Dissillusioned.
 The German people and Germany allies were beginning to be disillus. toned, the premier continued. In March, Germany was promising great things and the peace tentacles from her allies were withdrawn. The pro mise, however, he pointed out, hae failed, and the German harvest was short, although militarily the Ger. mans had been at the height of thei, power.
 Russia, said the premier, had be- come a log to the feet of Germany The Russian people, however, had re sented the interference of Germany with them and were more and more seeking allied help.
 "We will not hesitate to give it tt them wherever it is possible; he add ed.
 Praises Americans
 MT. Lloyd George praised the worl of the Americans in the fighting 1T France, speaking of "trained skill' they had displayed and the "skillee knowledgfe in the management o1 men under trying conditions" of whic! their officers had given evidence. Alluding to the Czecho- -Slovaks, tn. premier explained that their only de sire was to quit Russia and help thu allies on the western front. The Bol sheviki government, however hat resented the. attempt of the allies t, assist them to get away. Therefore the Bolsheviki had only themselves t. blame for the Czecho- -Slovak hostility The premier wanted this made clear he said, because there had been criti cism of President Wilson's decision t. join the allies in the Vladivcstol l movement.

London, Aug. 7.-David-Lloyd George the British prime minister to- day in a speech before the house of commons reviewed extensively the war situation.
 He referred particularly to what had been accomplished in the recent drive by the Allied forces on the Sois- sons Rheims salient, to the destruct- ion of German submarines, of which 150 had been accounted for since the war began-more than half of these in the last year-and the part the Americans now were playing and would play later in the fight for the cause of Democracy.
 Praises Gen. FOch.
 "le would be sanguine man on the German general staff who would now predict that Germany could ob- tain a military decision this year" the premier declared, as he characterizes Marshal Foch's counter offensive as "the most brilliant in the annals of the war;"
 Reverting to peace, MT. Lloyd George said the people who had made the war still were in evidence and that they could have no peace SO long as they were predominant in the coun- cils of the enemy.
 Mr. Lloyd George referred the part the British navy had played in the war and said that until the allies were defeated at sea German could never triumph.
 "When the war began" said MT. Lloyd George, "The British navy, then the largest in the world, rep resented tonnage of two and half million, now including the auixilliary fleet it is eight million. Were it not for this increase the seas might be barred for the commerce of the world
 Every trade route of the world is patrolled by it's ships."
 Tells of Navy's Work. ....
 The premier then referred to the other activities of the navy, such as conveying, patrolling, mine laying, mine sweeping and the chasing of submarines.
 It was here that he said 150 Ger man submarines had been destroyed, more than half if them in the last year.
 During June alone," the premier continued, British naval ships steam ed eight million miles, To this must be added the efforts of the mercantile marine, which is now branch of the British navy and whose men face the same dangers carrying for the allies, as we'll as for themselves, most of the American troops that have so val iantly acquitted themselves in recent combats.
 "I wonder how many people under stand the number of men required to man and maintain the British navy and mercantile marine. There are least 1,5O0,000 probably 8OO,O00 or 100000 of whom are of military age.
 There was an attempt to comb out some of these men, but it was found impossible, for to do so would be let ting down the British fleet and to let down the British is to let down the al. lies.
