they are now INDUCED in, called upon
the people of Bridgeport to support
the President.
Augustus Thomas, who opened the
meeting, delivered a masterful address
on the national campaign issues, and
upraided Theodore Roosevelt for his
criticism of the President. Thomas
spoke of the wonderful work done for
the navy by Secretary Daniels, and
also the many things that Woodrow
Wilson has given America, notably
the income tax which forces the rich
to pay for the overhead charges OF
the poor.
Secretary Daniels spoke for over an
hour. 1t was a long address, but he

great master would in his songs, bring

Before getting down to the business
of delivering to the people Of Bridge
port President Wilson's message an6
his request for the support of the ma.
tons, the secretary touched on some
of the heroic deeds performed by the
men of the navy. He told of his visit
to the Mount Vernon, the former Ger.

which was torpedoed, but saved by
the valiant work of the enlisted mer
aboard. He told of the remarkable
action of Osman Ingram, gunner'E

officers and crew of that vessel b!
sacrificing his own life, and how 1ol

the first time in America a United
States naval ship was named after an
enlisted man. The secretary brought
home to his hearers the horrors Of
war, and the courage and infinite de-
votion of the American, whom he
termed Yankees" For" said the
secretary, I'VE are all Yankees now.
This war has made a great change.
1t would have created riot to have
called regiment Of South Carolina
SOLDIERS Yankees a few years ago, but
now that is all different"
Getting to the political side of his
mission, Secretary Daniels said:
Our president in a request to the
people of America at a recent date
asked for their support of the nation
at the elections next Tuesday. He
asked that you give to him a Con-
gress of his political faith, SO that he
may be unhampered in finishing the
great task, that is now for the first
time nearing completion. 1t was
right and proper that he do this. The
president did not charge the Republi-
can party with disloyalty. He asked
that he be given a Democratic con-
gress so that Europe would see and
| understand that America was behind
| its president to the last man.
president Lincoln asked for the
same kind of support and 100000
Democrats voted the Republican
ticket. President Mckinley, that
great man whom we all admire, asked
that he be given a Republican con-
gress, so that the peace negotiations
| that were then going on with Spain
would be completed without the peo-
pie of the nation getting the idea thai

RATS MUST BE FOUGHT,
AS WELL AS GERMANS

Behind the British Lines in France,
Aug. >14.-An enemy whose activities
do not figure in the official reports, but
against whict allied soldiers wage
daily warfare, is the rat. Tens of
thousands of rats, huge, sharp-fanged
fighters, have dug themselves in
among the billets and trenches in
France and Flanders, and they are a
constant torment. Thanks to modern
medical science, there has been little
or no disease communicated by the ro-
dents.
Rats multiply rapidly in the trench
es and thrive well. They steal the SOL
dier's rations, disturb his rest and
spitefully bite him when he offers re-
sistance. The pest is hunted with fer
rets, terriers, poison and traps, and
when particularly numerous given a
gas attack. After the trenches ars
drenched with gas, they are generally
clear of rats for long period.

The Revolutionary War Cost $4,000
600; Less Than One Days Cost
Of the Present Great War
Some Interesting and Comparative Data Concerning
the Two Great Wars for Liberty

Washington, Aug. 14.-At a time
when Americans are thinking in war
terms of billions of dollars which must
be raised by domestic loans and taxa
ton it is interesting to examine the
methods employed to finance the first
American war-the War of Independ-
ence.
The total cost of the revolution, not
including the expenditure of the indi-
vidual states, has been estimated at
about $SO,000,000, a good deal less
than one dav's cost Of the present war.
The sum is truly insignificant as COM
pared with the 1000, ,O00, 900, which
will be required to finance Americas s
share of the present world war during
the coming year. VI
& me thirteen colonies were certainly
as unprepared to strike decisive
blow for freedom as any country pos
sibly could be, and the people, handi-
capped themselves at the very outset,
by denying congress the power of le-
wing and collecting taxes which
would have facilitated the rafsing Of
war revenue.
The colonists could not bring them
selves to the point of giving what
they considered too much power to a
limited group of men representing the
centralized government, and while the
congress could enact legislation for
an army and navy, it could do no more
than make suggestions to the various
states regarding the manner in which
these fighting forces were to be main
tained. As a result, there was great
amount of governmental confusion,
and while at least three systems of
raising revenue were suggested, there
was no definite plan as to the way in
which these methods were to be ad-
justed to one another.
Greatest reliance was placed at first
upon the issue of bills of credit; some
foreign loans were negotiated; domes-
tic loans were made and a nominal
sum was realized through taxes levied
by the states. The bills of credit, how
ever, rested upon what proved to be
an unsound basis.
Within a week after the battle of
Bunker Hill, authority was given for
an issue of $2,000,0o0 in credit bills,
and the amount to be redeemed be-
tween 1779 and 1882 was carefully ap-
