NO INFLUENZA IN u. S.
New York Doctors Feel Certain Epi-
demic Which Started In Spain
Will Not Come Here.

New York, July 15.-New York is in
little danger of an epidemic OF the
influenza, which started in Spain and
and spread to the German armies, ac-
cording to the medical experts of the
city. While little is known about the
disease, most of the doctors believe
that it is only common grip, and that
its prevalence in Spain and Germany
is due to the poorly nourished condi-
tin Of the people.
Commissioner Copeland, of the
health department, said there is no
cause fer alarm, and that he has heard
of no new cases of influenza or grip.
81 think the epidemic in Spain" he
said, sis a mild duplicate of the one

They contained slashing articles by
Harden in which he bitterly attacked
the peace terms imposed upon poor

ministery of foreign affairs, for his
conduct at Bucharest.
1t all goes back to the eighties.
The old Emperor Wilhelm was fail

Prince Frederick, was known to have
a fatal throat ailment. His wife was
an English princess, daughter Of
Queen Victoria. She brought to Ger

Chancellor, who was the real ruler.
The apostle of blood and iron knew
his day was over if Frederick reign

self to eultivating Frederick's eldest
son, the present emperor. Wilhelm
openly coveted his fathers throne and
fouted his mother. When the old
Wilhelm died Frederick reigned just
a few months. His body was hardly
cold in death before the young en-
peror practiclly turned his mother out
of the royal palace.
Bismarck foresaw another long
lease of power. Then Wilhelm, who
could brook no rival. suddenly dis
missed the old chancellor. Embitter-

$50 far as the German army is con-
cerned there are so many things which
might have caused illness among the
troops, as poor sanitary conditions,
bad water or food, that l think there

MAMMALIAN HARDEN
Said to Be the Only Man in Germany
Feared by the Kaiser.


Amsterdam, July 16.-Maximillan
Harden, the only fearless editor in all
Germany, has broken loose again.
All GERMANY guesses that Harden
is safe because he knows too much
about the kaiser and his intimate adj
visers.
Harden has put his documents and
papers in safe place, either in Eng
land or in some neutral country, and
any radical action against him would
be followed by the publication of these
manuscripts.
For years Germans have been dis
cussing the question: "Why has Har-
den an immunity that no other journ-
alist enjoys?" Harden is by birth a
Polish Jew and has made the anti
Semitic Prussian ruling class his spe-
cial targets.
1t will be remembered that in his
paper, Die Zukunft. he exposed the
immoral practices of some Prussian
princes who chummed with the kaiser.
Since the war began he has been just
as fearless. He went on from bold
ness to holiness, until one day the
news was cabled that he had been
squelched by having him called into
the army as minor clerk.
But they reckoned without their

NEW REVENUE BILL IS
READY TO BE REPORTED
TO HOUSE FOR ACTION
Supposed To Raise $S,OOO,-
100000 But Believed It
Will Yield More.

Washington, Aug. 3l.-The new rev
enue bill, providing ss,OOO,OOO,OOO, the
next year, to help finance the war,
has been completed by the house ways
and means committee and will be re-
ported early next week
Treasury experts believed that the
bill will provide between $l00,000000
and $200,000,O00 in excess of the IS,

Salient features are:
Flat II percent rate on normal in

rate on taxable incomes less than
$4,000.
Surtaxes on individual incomes,
ranging to 60 percent on those of more

Earned and unearned incomes to be
treated on the same basis with no
differentiation in favor Of the earned

retary MeAdoO.
Flat so percent tax on war profits,
after providing for specified exempt
icss.
Excess profit tax, ranging from 80
tao 20 percent.
Luxury taxes ranging from 10 to

SHORTENING OF Line
WILL NOT increase
NAN-POWER PER NILE
German Losses More Than
Offset Gain In Strength
By Shorter Front

New York, Aug. 3l.-Von Linden
burg is again applying the brakes to his
perilOus retirement, fearing that his re
treat will become rout. This has been
his consistent policy since he began bis
campaign to shorten his west front for
the purpose of aecumulating reserves to
oppose America 5 coming offensive
against the Rhine
The present pause in the operation
does net mean that tic Germans are
recovering their vitality and have
brought Marshal Foch S drive to rest.
The local assaults Of the allies will con.
tinuo as Won Hindenburg resumes his
inevitable orders for falling back tow ard
the Belgian border.
The present rate of shortening the
German line, however, is resulting ia a
net loss of manpower to Won Hinden.
burg. For each mile the line is reduced,
the Germans can recover from 1000 TO
5000 men for their reserves.
But to the present, Marshal Foeh -ha
captured about 1000 men in Flanders
and Picardy for every mile of front
that has been shortened.
This is matter Of the most serious
importance for Won Hindenburg He
cannot afford to eontinun to conduct
his retreat on any such basis. In the
Germans killed and permanently wound
ed and taken prisoners, it is probable
that Won Hindenburg has lost to he
present three times the number Of
troops he hoped to put in his reserves
by shortening his front.
This new factor in the situation has
been the most brilliant part of Marshal
Foeh's strategic results. Not only aig
the Germans retiring from western
France, but they are unable to create
a larger proportionatc reserve force than
they had before the retirement began.
To retreat under such a condition means
that when the German front is shorten
ed TO its maximum extent, Won Hinden.
burg will not have adequate reserves to
face the Americans for a prolonged Dc.
fensive campaign.
This shortening process is destined TO
carry the Germans back to the Mouse
line which runs from the southeastern
tip of Holland through Liegc and IA
mur, in eastern Belgium, past Mezieres
to 2astorn France, to Vefdun and st.
Mihiel. But long before the Meuse line
is reached, Won Hindenburg must try to
reorganize his method Of retreat. so
that his casualties shall be much lighter
If he doesn't succeed. there can he no
hope even at German headquarters Of
saving the Rhine.
