SENATE SAYS NO TO
'..., HOUSE FOR RECESS

Washington, Sept. 3.-The senate
today sat down squarely upon the
proposal fthe leaders of the house
that the congress take recess while
the senate finance committee has the
war revenue bill under consideration
and not bring it, up for passage until
after the elections.
"You are engaged uupon important
government war business and it is
your duty to work and not fight for
reelection" was in effect the mes
sage of the senate leaders to the men,
bers Of the house.
From the very stare the REGULARS"
Of the house.meaning regular politi-
cians-fought against the enactment
Of taxation legislation before the fall
elections. They regarded it as "ba6
politics"
With the bill unanimously indorsed
by the committee on ways and means
and certain of passage the house
within ten days, the regulars" still
saw a ray of hope and cooked up the
scheme Of recess on the ground that
the senate would linger over consider
alton Of the bill in committee and on
the floor, until after election at the
earliest.
The first that the senator's knew Of
the scheme was when they read about
it in the newspapers this morning.
Then there were informal conferences
in which the Democratic and Republi.
can members found themselves in ac-
cord in the determination to hold the
congress in session until after the rev.
enue bill is enacted into law.
Senator Simmons, chairman CT the
finance committee, set for Represen-
tative Garner, Of Texas, one Of the
house leaders, and told him of the
temper Of the senate. He also told hnf.
that his committee would make ul.
no fixed schedule Of hearing or fix
date in advance for report OH the
bill, and that the house should remain
in session, ready to take final action.
Hearings before the senate finance
committee will begin Friday. Thus
far only few applications to be
heard have been received and the hope
is that the hearings will last only
three or four days and that the com,
mittee will be ready to report the
bill to the senate on Monday, Sep
tember 16, the next legislative day
followig it's passage by the house, or
Saturday, September ID.
1t is not expected that the senate
will tear the new bill to pieces as
was done in the case of the last war
revenue oct which came to the SEN
ate from the house in almost hopeless
condition. 1t is understood that the

Minnesota Raises $84,
OOODuring Sale of Christ
mas Red Cross Seals

Voluntary contributions to a given
project are an index to the popular
interest and appreciation. The peo-
pie of this state have repeatedly
shown genuine interest in local, state
and national health problems. Min
nesota raised $4,000 during the
recent Red Cross Seal sale. The
final report of the Minnesota Public
Health Association, State Manager, to
Red Cross headquarters, rendered on
February Is, gives sale of S,4OO 900
seals.
This fund, excepting 10 per cent re-
tanned by the American Red Cross,
will be spent in this state for the
fight against tuberculosis and other
preventable diseases. Many of the
local committees are raising additional
funds in various way. This year
voluntary contributions for health
work will total over $3.50 900 90; each
year they surpass the regular approp-
ration of the State Board of Health.
| With view to having the most
urgent work done first, the American
Red Cross requires the state associa-
ton to see that local expenditures are
for approved work. All of these
voluntary contributions are well safe
guarded. Expenditures by both local
committees and the state association
are reported to headquarters on
blanks furnished for that purpose. The
books Of the state association are
checked monthly by the State Public
Examiner and there is "a complete
audit seni-annually.
Draft examinations have revealed
such an alarming number of cases OF
tuberculosis that it is deemed wise to
use at least 80 per cent of the fund
this year for County Public Health
Nursing and free clinics. One or more
dispensaries for tuberculosis cases will

A BADGE OF HONOR.

A Liberty Loan button is badge
of honor. Rightfully obtained it
marks the wearer as one who has per-
formed distinct, definite service to
the country.
Not all can fight, not all can work
directly for the Government; but in
buying a Liberty Loan Bond, or War
Savings Stamps, every American
renders some service to the Nation. It
has been put within the reach and
power of every citizen to aid the
United States financially; it is poor
American who withholds support from
the Government, from our soldiers
and sailors fronting death on battle
fields and oceans.
Iron crosses to German soldiers, and
diamond orders exchanged between
Turkish and German sovereigns may
be but the honors of atrocity. But a
Liberty Loan button, simple as it is,
signifies a patriotic duty done and is
an insignia Of honor.

Heavy Penalty Paid By
Those Violating Send
ing OF ODer Sea Mail

The following is an extract of q
letter sent out by the second asst
Postmaster General at Washington
relative to all mail sent abroad to the
men of the American Expeditionary
Forces. It should be perused with
great care as many are unconsciously
violating the postal laws and in case
of detection, which is very likely, a
heavy fine or imprisonment is in
CURED. As all packages must be ex-
amined at the local post office before
mailing, Postmaster J. A. Schoenhoff
requests that those sending matter of
this kind bring it opened. This will
save re-opening the package which is
imperative.
notwithstanding the notices that
have been issued from time to time.
warning the public against sending
unavailable articles in packages to
members of the American Expedition
airy forces in France, a systematic
examination at New York and Chi
cage discloses that unavailable articles
such as matches, alcohol, explosives
and inf1amables, continue to be found
in packages even though the pack
ages themselves are marked by post
masters as containing no prohibited
articles.
these are serious instances of vio-
lations of the regulations and for the
information of senders and post
master, attention is drawn to the fact
that it is a violation of the law to
knowingly place in the mails pack
ages containing articles known to be
unavailable, for which violation the
Revised Statutes provide a penalty
upon conviction of a fine of not more
than $4,000 or Imprisonment not
more than ten years, or both.
"Postmasters under Section 548 are
directed to exclude from the mails all
unavailable matter, and they are
consequently responsible for the ad-
mission of unavailable matter when
such matter is found in the mails.
Besides this, they may be held jointly
responsible with the senders of the
unavailable matter, should fire or ex-
plosion result from the presence of
unavailable matter in the mails,
whether the fire or explosion occurs in
this country or abroad.
"In view Of the strict accountability
to which postmasters will be held
hereafter for the admission of I'M
mailable articles in the mails, it is
necessary for postmasters to see to il
that senders are fully informed as to
the articles that are not mailable, and
moreover to examine packages fol
articles prohibited, which articles, il
found, should be returned to the send.
ers, who should be Informed of the
law, as set forth in Section 472, anc
warned that a violation of the law will
be dealt with through the proper
legal authorities"

The distinction between duties OF

clearly defined in this extract from ar
article released this week by the War
Department at Washington.

protection of property back of the
lines. This is the duty of the either

RE PREPARED.

So far, since the American forces
have taken up position on the
Western battle front in Europe, the
casualties have been comparatively
light but we must not become compla-
cent over this fact or fatter ourselves
that this condition will long con-
tinue.
We are not military man and d1
not pose as strategist or an expert
tactician, but we, as well as any in
formed person can sense to a certain
degree certain actions that will take
place.
There is no question but that the
Germans are massing for a mighty
drive on the western battle front
They are in a position where they
must advance or retreat.
In our minds when this drive begins
that portion of the line that is held by
American troops will be struck first
and struck hard. There are several
good reasons for this. Our troops are
not veterans and comparatively few
of them have, as yet received their
baptism of fire while the French and
British troops are thoroughly battle
broke, For some reason, that is hard
to decipher, the Germans. hold our
boys somewhat in contempt as sold
iers, and lastly they think that if
they could succeed in practically
wiping out the American contingent,
that the anti-war propogandists in
this country would be UNNECESSARILY
strengthened.
The supreme test of the mettle OF
our troops is coming and coming soon
We have the utmost confidence that
they will meet this test with gallantry
honor and success as American sold
iers have always met such tests in
the past. They will win, they will
hold their line and beat back the in
vaders, but they will pay the price ano
the death roll and wounded lists
will be long ones.
In this connection we wish to state
to those who have loved ones at the
front not to worry because they re
ceive no word from them for In wal
