WATCH JAPAN AND LEARN.

Good news continuing the war front to which we
are accustomed it becomes necessary now to turn to-
ward the East and watch the rising there
Very soon, no doubt, Japan will be showing the world
what SHE can do in war. Russia and China know al
ready--it did not take them long to learn.
Germany has the information not far off.
Across Lake Baika will come the Japanese, raising
troops as they move along through Russia. The wise
Bolsheyk aware that whatever their speciality may be- it
is NOT fighting are moving away from Moscow, taking
with them their big store Of gold They seem to
have been sufficiently practical to hold on to that
It is easy to guess with what enthusiasm the Japanese

The glory Of being first into Berlin would appeal
strongly to the Mkado no doubt especially the Kaiser

allies has turned out to be somewhat tedious process
Plenty Of glory for Japan, if she goes ahead with her
uzual energy and success And many things more sub
stantis than glory For Siberia would give her rich
lands in which to expand and give her crowded population
chance. And who could say fairly-f the Japanese
ware first to reach Inter Den Linden-that she must 60

LETTERS OF LINCOLN
AND THE KAISER
(LincOln's Letter.)

CLlnc0ln's letter.
Dear Madam: l have been shown
in the files Of the War Department a
statement of the adjutant General of
Massachusetts, that you are the moth
er of five sons who have died glori-
ously on the field of battle. | feel
how weak and fruitless must be any
words of mine which should attempt
to beguile you from the grief of a
loss so overwhelming. But | cannot
refrain from rendering to you the
consolation that may be found in the
thanks Of the republic they died to
save. pray that our Heavenly
Father may assuage the anguish of
your bereavement and leave you only
the cherished memory of the loved
and lost, and the solemn pride that
must be yours to have laid so costly
a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

OSCAR DUccER's DREAM.

We're dreaming too, of being off
duty and away up in the mountains
where the sparkling streams murmur
and the speekled trout abound, where
the breeze from the mountain eraigs
viii take the place of our electric fan
and where in the evening shadows we
can indulge in that quiet reverie and
take a retrospective view-living
over those days not so long ago when
our boys who now wear khaki made
their home and ours vocal with ex-
pressions of youthful exhuberance-
Cblivious of the fact that those days
were so soon to be followed hy these
awful days wherein the black horrors
of war have spread their wings in
bhghting shadow over the land and
awakened in them and Others that
martlal spirit winch nnds true express
sion only in service at the battle
front. And then, perchance, we
would dream again of the days just
ahead, how far we do not know,
when our boys and the millions who
have gone and are yet to go, shall
come home again when the band shall
play and the victorious banner floats
proudly aloft harbinger of perpet-
ual peace, of justice tempered with
mercy, pledge of security to every
nation great and small on the face of
the habitable globe.-Andalusia Star.

EIGHT billion DOLLARS.
STDGGERS CONGRESS.
Hearings Of Senate Committee
Brings Out Divergent
Ideas

Washington, June S.-Congress is in
clined to balk at Secretary of the
Treasury MeAdoo's demand for eight
billion III war taxes. This sum, double
the present revenue, is higher by $2,-
100000, 900 than is necessary. some
members declare. Secretary MeAdoo
has included in his estimate of $24,-
0O0,000,000 for the years expenditures
about $4,000, 100000 for loans to the al,
lies Senator Smoot, senate finance ex.
pert said today.
"These loans should not be figured
in establishing the sum to be raised
by tayatien cn the basis of MeAdoo Is
1-S tax aud two-thirds bonds plan. The
allied loans reimbursable in full 70 the
United States. Therefore, if they sic
left out as they should be, the total
tax needed would be six billion instead
OF igh.. This would require the rails.

+ something fairly easy to accomplish
without putting drain on anybody
bat the war profiteer, who ought 70
bear IT," aaid Senator Smoot.
McAdOo is to be quizzed on the point
raised by Smcot before either the
ways and means committee or the sem
ate finance committee accepts his fig
ures as final.
The general belief is that if Ne
Adoo can get along with whatever ad-
ditional taxes a stiff increase in prof
its and income levies will bring, there
will be no difficulty in getting the bill
through quickly. But if it becomes nee
esary to broaden the field of taxation
and include new articles, long fight
is certain.
A graduated publication tax based
on circulation and subscription price
was advocated by Representative John
son, Minnesota, before the committee.
johnson said that adoption of his plan
which he has already incorporated in
to a bill, would leave the committee
free to tax advertising of all sorts in
a separate provision.
The plan proposed by johnson would
tax publications with a sbscription
price of soc per year one half cent
per copy on the first 10000 copies, one
cent copy on circulation between
10000 and 10000 and two cents on all
subscriptions over that figure.
The present pan of allowing small
papers to circulate free within their
own counties, johnson would leave un-
touched

New Game and Dog Laws.

Among the new laws passed by the
recent Legislature were State wide
dog law and State wide game law.
These measures have. encounter ed
considerable opposition from county
members who preferred to have
their local laws enforced. For years
the fight has been made for a uni
form game law, but because this
transferred the license fee from the
counties to the state and gave the
Conservation Commission jurisdic-
tion over the game warden, it did
not meet with favor. Nevertheless,
it passed. The dog law imposes a
state tax of So on female dogs and
81 on male dogs, the revenue being
applied to the protection of wild
fowl and pay for sheep killed by
dogs. The Conservation Commission
also exercises supervision in the en-
forcement of this law.
