WILL SPEND $3,OOO,OOO
In the Erection Of Buildings at
Fayetteville.

Washington, Aug. 3.-According
to report circulated the Capitol to-
day, the War Department will spend
no less than $3,O0O,O0O in the erec-
tion of buildings at the field artillery
camp near Fayetteville. The camp
will probably embrace 100000 acres,
A report eminating from similar
source indicated that the contract for
the erection of these buildings would
in all probability be let to the
George A. Fuller Construction Com
pany or the branch of the firm that
is now building the shipyard at Will
mington.
That many North Carolina firms
are seeking the Fayetteville con-
tract was the information gathered
today. The War Department, how
ever, so the unofficial story goes, is
inclined toward the big New York
concern. The construction division
has heretofore claimed that North
Carolina firms were not as we'll
equipped for the execution of enor-
nous building projects as the man.

Will Spend So, 900, 900, 600

Washington, Aug. 3.-Heavy in
creases in the present war tax on
tobacco and cigarettes were agreed
to yesterday by the House Ways and
Means committee as part of the new
$S,000,000.000 revenue bill. The
tax imposes three times the existing
rates on some items of the schedule
and is expected to raise approx
mately 100000 in comparison
with the present $16S, 100000 reve-
nue. from tobacco.
The committee has made substan-
tial headway in it's work and some
of its members predicted today that
all danger of delay in reporting the
hill is over and that the total of
$S,0OO,000,000 the greatest volume
Of revenue from taxation ever con-
templated in the nations history will
be provided for and the bill in form
to report when the House reassem-
bles on August 10.
There was some discussion of two
plans to super-impose a strictly war
profits tax on the excess profits tax
one of the, plans being for a COM
plete supplemental tax, every dollar
of which would be addition to the
excess profits revenue and the other
an alternative the proposition under
which the treasury would i'm
pose either the excess profits tax or.
the war profits tax.

TRADE CONDITIONS

Japanese Business Men OPP
posed to Mobilization in
Siberia. Effect of
CONDITIONS IN AMERICA

Toxic Correspondence of the
Associated Press)-Apparent ten
dency by Japanese business men to
oppose Intervention in Siberia has
been reflected in business generally
here. The stock market has been
oppressed with the idea Of Siberian
mobilization. Trading has fallen of
and many shares have weakened. AT
times when it appeared that Japan
had at least temporarily tabled the
intervention question the market has
rallied, becoming active with short
covering, but the general investment
public has remained strictly cautious
showing disposition to sell at ad-
vancing prices.
Late in June the foreign trade fell
off. The United States extension Of
it's lists of restricted imports virtu-
ally stopped Japan's growing ship
ment of skins and feathers. The
American trade ban was enlarged So
as to stop also Manila's export Of
hemp to Japan. If this is rigidly en-
forced Japan's braid industry will be
reduced to an insignificant position
and Great Britain's removal of it's
ban on hemp braids would come tU
naught.
Trade with Asiatic Russia was
made possible by the re-opening Of
the Siberian border, and match stick
imports have already reported their
intention of buying afresh there,
while bean oil men had brighter
prospect for buying of soya beans.
The China trade has remained
slack. The Japanese Cotton Spin
nerds Association, for instance, re-
ported that during ten days Japan
shipped 1909 bales less of yarns to
China and other Oriental points.
Trade with British India also has
been slack.
The tonnage question and Ameri-
cas- railway rates also have caused
anxiety in the usiness world. Oil
men, grain people, and others say
that the high freight costs and the
difficulty in obtaining cargo space
have interfered seriously with their
business, these factors combining ad-
versely with kindred commerce re-
strictions adopted by England, AM
erica and other countries. In these
circumstances Frances purchases of
Manchurian -four, Latin Americas
increasing business and other cir
cumstances furnished scarcely any
consolation to the business communi-
ty.
Notwithstanding governmental Ell
forts to check the soaring cost of
living, conditions have hardly i'm
proved. Not only the fertilizer trade
but the -four market have been prey
to spectators manipulation, which
lately has become greatly magnified
with the concentration of capital in
big firms. Rice, miscellaneous grains,
flour and foodstuffs generally have
with few exceptions been higher. Tex
tiles and their materials have in
creased in price. Even cotton goods
have resumed their advance, in spite
of the export trade remaining slack.
Metals, particularly iran pigs, and
steel shares, have mounted. Among
miscellaneous articles, coal, charcoal
pagers, petroleum, and other articles
effected notable advances. Even gas
rates were raised in Oska and Aokio,
thus increasing the burden of the
masses of the people

man political and diplomatic secrets
of the days before the war-at a
time when he was in confidential
touch with the high councils OF the
Imperial German Government-led
to official surveillance over his move
ments and finally to his expulsion
from his native land.
His disclosures, which have Great
ed sensations in Entente capitals,
have been regarded in many quar-
ters as faithful interpretations Of
events which contributed to the out
break of the war and as conclusive
proof that the German Emperor $
Vaccinations were responsible for
the world conflict. They led to a
German Government statement in
the Reichstag that he was not path
ologically responsible, and today he
lives the life of retired farmer on
the outskirts Of a small Swiss vii
lage. Once he was a director of the
great Krupp war Establishments
position he took at the request Of
the German Foreign Office-and d
cons epicuous figure in civil and offic-
ial circles.
4 man of forty-five years, tall anc
broad-shouldered, with yellow Saxon
hair and small mustache, DR..
Muehlon, challenger of the German
Emperor's own version that he en-
deavored to maintain peace, from
time to time addresses his compatrl-
OTIS across the border with vigorous
and independent views which, he de-
clares, a great many Germans share
secretly. His personal appearance
shows none of the nervous agitation
which the German authorities have
sought to attribute to him. He de-
clares he never had. to consult a
doctor; physically and mentally he
seems a man of iron.
DR.. Muehlon was asked today how
he could be an opponent of militar-
ism and war, particularly the pres
ent struggle, and at the same time
be director of Krupps, the greatest
war machine in the world.
"That appears to be inconsistent,
he said, "but the explanation is SIM
pie. I have always been opposed to
war, and even to large combinations
like Krupps, as my inclinations were
toward the welfare and equality of
the people and the adjustment of diff
ferences by reason instead of byl
force. But it was felt desirable to
have on the Krupp directorate vari-
GUS shades of opinion, even though
not in strict accordance with the war;
activities Of the establishment, SO!
that all views could be expressed and
something like common agreement
obtained on the many vexing prob
lens presented. To that end | came
into the organization, at first in d
position and later in the
directorate. 1t was stipulated, how.
ever, that my activities should be-
mainly devoted to the branch not en-
gagged in war work, for Krupps has
two branches of about equal size,
one devoted to war work and the 9TH
er to work connected with war. In
sensibly, however, my work in one
branch drew me into the other, as
my experience In international az,
fairs led to my being consulted ON
war arrangements having any inter
national bearing, such as the arma.
ment of Turkey"
DR.. Muehlon went on to tell of his
growing dislike to the war work and
his final determination to give up all
association with it even at the sacri-
flee Of one of the most important
business careers in Germany.

The crisis in the Allied offensive
on the Soissons- Rheims salient ap-
parently has been reached.
French troops have entered the
town of Scissors, the western anchor
point of what remains of the famous
salient, and all along the thirty-six
miles of curving battle line from
Scissors to Thillois, which lies about
three miles west of Rheims, French,
American and British troops have
pushed in the entire enemy front and
sent the Germans backward every
where in precipitate retreat. Over
the battle front the Allies, by quick
and forcible methods of onslaught,
have deeply indented the German
defence line for splendid gains,
seemingly foreshadow the necessity
of the eventful retirement Of the
forces of the German Crown Prince
to more tenable ground in the north.
The plains behind the northwest
ern portion Of the battle front now
are entirely donated by the Allied
big guns, in the south the French
and Americans have negotiated al
mcst all of the hill and forest coun-
try and are encroaching precipitate-
ly toward the Fismes railway, while
on the east the British and French
are almost astride the Rheims-Sois-
sons railway and have their guns
now placed that the enemy is sure to
be sorely tried as he endeavors to
press back and gain a haven of ref
uge along the Vesle river.
Just how far the retreat of the
Germans will go cannot at present
be forecast, but with the southern
line swinging northward in conjunc-
tion with that on the east toward the
Vesle, and with the French dominat-
ing the Aisne eastward may be COM

Washington, Aug. Be. L. Travis
of Halifax, N. c., former chairman
of the Corporation Commission Of
that State and leader in North Car
olina politics, and two other men, e.
j. Joseph and Leon Green, were ar
rested at Washington hotel last
night by federal authorities charged
with conspiracy to obtain contract
illegally from the Shipping Board
for New Jersey company. The
name of the concern for which the
contract was to be obtained was not
announced. ~~e
Travis is alleged by the authori
ties to have entered into negotiations
with the New Jersey concern where
by he was to receive 100000 if the
contract was obtained. Green, whose
address is not known, is said to have
been promised for his services fee
of one dollar per ton for all ship
building contracts received by the
company. The address of Joseph,
the third man arrested, also is un-
known.
The three men, authorities claim,
have been negotiating with the Ship
ping Board over a period of six
weeks. Whether any contracts were
secured was not disclosed. Arrests
were made, it was said, on informa-
tion furnished by naval intelligence
officers.

main charge against them is that
they were endeavoring to secure con-
tracts of from l Sto "a ships at

siderably higher than the present

been the resignation Of Hon. Vim. G.
McAdoo as Secretary Of the Treasury
and Director General of the Railroads
He gives as his reason the tremendous
amount of work and responsibility that
ne has to carry and the inadequate
compensation he has received. The
salary is $4,000 year, and he has not
only not been able to live on this sum.
but has been forced to 90 deeply into
his private fortune. Mr.. McAdoo has
bean one Of the ablsst of Mr.. McAdoo's
| cabinet members. He has accomplish.
ed tremendously important work in es,
tablishing the Federal Reserve Banks
and in floating the large bond issues
required in the past couple Of years
and has proved himself greatfnancier
His work as Director General Of the
Railroads has been big mans job, but
he has been doing it well, and there is
general regret that he gives it up.

Der. Whether his chances are increased
or diminished by his retirement at this
