BRITISH ADVANCE SLOWLY THROUGH
 MUD AND WATER
Make Slight Forward Movement Near Neuve Chapelle and Ar mentieres-Huns Are Up To Old Tricks.

With the British Army in Francs, Sept. 10.-Although the resistance from enemy rear guards has increased all along the line, especially in the center areas, where a much greater volume of machine gun and artillery fire is being encountered, the British troops have made further progress Rain has fallen necessarily and the battle field in many places now is covered with soft mud, and the shell craters are filled with ooze, which makes rapid progress difficult
 Generally the armesare still at 3 pause, and what forward movements have been carried out, have been more in the nature of line strengthening and for the suppression of active Ger man positions.
 Epehy wood has been the scene of hard fighting. The British attacked it today but details are lacking. From a number of reliable sources it is learned that the enemy is evacu- ating the civilians from numerous vii lages and towns in his rear and is ex- hibiting his customary methods while doing it, The civilians, in most cases old men. women and children. are being forced from their homes with only handful of their possessions; their property is either being confis- cated by the German authorities or being carried off by the troops
 Further confirmation of the mutin- ous spirit in sections of the German army has been received. Prisoners who are in the immediate vicinity Of an engagement on August 9, say that an infantry regiment of Bavar- ian division suddenly threw down their arms. They retired declaring that they absolutely refused to fight for Prussia any longer.
 In addition to other troubles which seem to have been multiplying of late, the German commanders now have suddenly come to realize that their system of defense with respect to depth is totally inadequate under the conditions encountered in continuous fighting.
 The most important news from the north today is direct corroboration of the fact that the Germans are work ing with all haste in the preparation of their rear lines east of the river Lys and that they are being reinforced with concrete machine gun nests in considerable numbers.

HOUSE RESUMES DEBATE 0N THE
 WAR TAX BILL
SOutherners Resent Proposal to Place Tax of $2.OO a Bale on C0ttOn-Tax Budget After War S4,000.00O a Year.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Debate on the war revenue bill continued in the House today with members of the ways and means committee delivering prepared speeches in which they crt- cised some features of the measure, but promised to vote for it on final passage and predicted for it the pat riotic support of the country.
 Leaders now plan to end general discussion Thursday with a view to taking up the bill Friday under five minute debate rule for considera- ton of amendments. In the mean time, the ways and means cor.mittec will consider special amendments t. facilitate the sale of Liberty Bonds which were suggested today by the treasury department.
 Principal speakers in the debate to- day were Representative Hull of Ten nessee, Democrat, author of the pres ent income tax law, and Longworth of Ohio, and Green of Iowa, Republi can members of the ways and means committee.
 Representative Carroway of Arkan- Sas, Democrat, attacked the proposal made by some members in the debate that a tax be placed on cotton. He said no protest against such a tax had come from cotton growers, but declared that such legislation would be "outrageous." The south. he said is bearing it's share of the war cost.
 At the Senate finance committed hearings on the bill today, witnesses and Senators criticised the excess pro fits rates. Effect of prohibition legis- laton on the nations revenue also was brought up.
 Representative Hull told the House today that the nations tax budget after the war will be S4.000.000,00( annually and warned that little of this can be made up by tariff rate in creases as suggested by some mem bers. He urged consumption levies or sugar. coffee, tea silk and rubber.
 Declaring that wealthy persons arc taxed to "the absolute limit" in the 1. bill, Representative Longworth said that for further increased revenue, ! taxes on necessary articles of daily must be resorted to. Ht 1. predicted that these taxes may have ! to be imposed sooner than congress l had expected because of the pendins wartime prohibition legislation which ! he estimated would reduce federal revenue by Sl 300, ,OOO 900.
 Mir. Longworth also sari that the ' presidents order stopping the manu- | facture of beer after next December i. would cause a loss of $500,000,000 | in revenue between that date and the time the dry" legislation becomes . effective

SINGING THE way
70 WAR SAVING
Two Detroiters Create the Official
w. S. S. Song in Their DRESS
i Up Your Dollars in Khaki"

One of the greatest aids in bringing
marshalling their small change in the
Golfers of the government for sue
cessful termination Of the war, &C.
cording to the national war savings
committee, is the new war song hit,
Dress up Your Dollars in Khaki and
Help Win Democracy's Fight"
Both words and music were written
Atwood, and the music by "Dick"
Whiting, of Jerome H. Remick G Co..
creator of numerous other popular
melodies.
The song as originally written was
intended to be used only in the state
campaign. Copies of it were submit
ted to other state directors, however,
with the result that from Maine to
Texas orders for thousands Of copies
of the song have been sent In to the
local committee.
1t is planned to have 1t sung by
school children, singing societies and
in playhouses and movie theaters
throughout the country In Texas a
lone, the song will be sung by school
children in $4,000 schools.
The song has been written to
snappy march time music, and the ly-
RIGS eloquently express the sentiment
which is prompting millions of people
to buy the thrift stamps. The lyrics
follows:
From lowland and highland,
In your land and my land,
Our warriors are marching away
To join their commanders
in France and in Flanders,
To help the world win in this fray,
But Uncle Sans calling the stay-at-
homes, too.
For the pathway to freedom is rocky,
So prove you're q soldier by saving-yes
you'll
And dress UP your dollars in khaki.
CHORUS:
Oh, dress up your dollars In khaki a spell
And help win Democracy's fight.
With your nickels and dimes and your
quarters, as well.
You can set the whole question Alright
For the lender is Freedoms defender.
But the spender is worst OF them all
Let War Saving Stamp send your
money to camp.
And answer the Presidents call!

Although there is no record that a
woman has ever been an auctioneer,
1t Is on record that In May, 1912, the
mayor OF New York, Mr.. Gaynor, an

by woman by saying that there was
nothing in the law to prevent a wom-
an from becoming an auctioneer.
Strange enough, it was milliner who
made the inquiry.

Wilson's Secretary of War of the
course Chat we become the vassal of
Germany which Mr.. Hearst, through
his papers, did his utmost to get the
American people to adopt.
"After we went into the war, on April
II, 1917, Mr.. Hearst wrote: Stripping
our country Of men, money and food is
dangerous policy. Our earnest sug-
gestion to the Congress is that it i'm
peratively refuse TO permit the further
draining Of our food supplies and our
military supplies to Europe This was
equivalent to demand that after going
to war we should turn around and help
Germany more than if we had con-
tinued to remain neutral.
"On April "a, 1917, The New York
American said: THE painful truth is
that we are being practically used as a
mere reinforcement of England's war
fare and England's future aggrandize-
ment' This was an effort against our
ally and an effort to pander to anti
English prejudice in the interest of
our foes, and nothing else.
"On May II it advocated our spend
ing all our money on preparing our
army and navy here at home and so
compelling Germany if she wants to

is now being given, to the Administra-
ton by various newspapers, especially
German-American and semi-socialistic
newspapers, because of the club thus
held over them by the Administration.
From the very nature of the case
there can rarely be positive proof in
such cases. But as regards the most
striking cases of favoritism, those con-
corning the Hearst papers, as compared
paper, and the attack (for nominally
wholly different rehsons) on THE
Metropolitan | herein give the facts
which prove exactly what have
alleGad.
"The Postmaster General has raised
the issue; / meet it squarely, and he
shall not evade it. The Administration
has successfully endcavored to prevent
expression Of opinion hostile to it and
to put premium upon supporting the
President personally and politically
are detrimental or beneficial to the
country.
"The Administration, through the
Publicity Bureau, under the lead of
Mr.. Creel, is conducting gigantic
news propaganda with the public
money. Mr. Creels activities are ex-
ercised nominally on behalf of the
country, out in reality primarily on
behalf of the Administration. Mr..
Creel announces and publishes himself
as the special representative of tho
President, and is permitted by the
President so to announce and publish
himself. He assais the publications
that truthfully expose the shortcom
ings of the Administration, and, with
out regard to the facts. he, personally
and through his bureau, actively up
holds the Administration as regards
those matters. such as the aircraft
programme, in which there have been
grave governmental shortcomings. This
is partisan political propaganda of the
very worst type, carried on with pub
lie moneys, under the guise of public
work. The editor of The Metropol-
tan wrote Mr.. Creel, on March 7:
"'1s it right that you should use
the time and money of your bureau,
which is supported by the American
taxpayers, to defend members of the
Administration from criticism in the
public press? Are you not in fact
the personal press agent of the Pres
ident and members of the Admins
tration?'
What the editor of THE Metropoli-
tan thus stated in the form of a query
should be stated affirmatively as an
.unquestioned fact.

Quotes Hearst Editorials
On Sinking of Lusifanitx

IL have before me at the moment
copies of The New York American
editorials of May II, May 20, June /,
1915. and an editorial of June q. 1915,
signed by Mr.. Hearst himself, dealing
with the Lusitania question and stat
ing that Germany's action was right
about the Lusitania, that the Lusitania
incident is, of course. no cause for a
declaration of war and that we had
no just cause for complaint in the
mntter-sa saying that we had no right
to make this demand that
Germany suspend her submarine war
fare against the commerce of the AL
lies,' that we had mo right to ques
ton Germany's use of submarines in
her warfare upon British commerce.
and that the Lusitana was an Eng
lish vessel and properly Subject to
destruction and that its destruction
by the German submarine was in ac-
cordance with the authorized and &C
copied rules of warfare and that Ger
many's methods of submarine warfare
were none of our business!
"The Hearst papers continued to try
to make our people range themselves
against England. and therefore in IA
vor of Germany. and to appeal to the
the safety of their dollars above the
safety of their women and children.
an the issue of The New York
American of August 25, 1915, is an
editorial headed Must the United
States Be a Catspaw for England
Against Germany? There is not a
word in this editoria, about the Ger
man murder Of our women and chill
dren on the high seas, not word pro-
testing against Germany's taking the
lives of our citizens, but a scream
against England because she had made
cotton contraband of war! No Ameri-
can can read this editorial in the
Hearst papers of that date without
hanging his head in shame that such
papers should at this time be backed
by the American Administration.
"Let the Administration recall that
Mr.. Hearst was writing these editorials
week after week, month after month
during the time succeeding the sinking
Of the Lusitania.
con December last Secretary Baker,
the official representative of the Presi-
dent in all matters relating to the war,

Constitution Guarantees
The Right to Criticis<

~ believe that the First Article of
the Constitution guarantees the right
OF the people to criticise truthfully the
conduct Of their public servants, and
that this right cannot be taken away
by any law. But the average man is
naturally and properly afraid to chal-
ienge law backed by the whole power
Of the United States government, even
although it may be his belief that ul-
timately the law will be held uncon-
sttutional.
Our governmental officers, from the
President down, are of right the SER
the people This is the Fundamental
difference between an autocracy and a
democracy. The Hohenzollcrns are the
rulers of Germany, and the Germans
are the subjects of the Hohenzollerns
not their fellow citizens. On the con-
trary, our Presidents are not the rulers
OF the American people, but the ser
wants of the American people, and the
rest of the people are their fellow citi-
zens.
=. Our duty is to stand by the country
IT is our duty to stand by the Presii-
dent-as by every other official-iust
so long as he stands by the country
1t is no less our duty to oppose him
whenever, and to the extent that. he
does not stand by the country. If we
fail to oppose him under such condi.
tons we are guilty of moral treason
TO- the country. The President and our
other public officials are subject to the
laws just like the rest sof us. 1t is an
infamy untruthfully to assail our pub
TIC servants--ot any one else. But it
is our duty to tell the truth about our
public servants, whether the truth be
peasant, or unpleasant. The higher
sne PUBIC servant. and the more i'm
portant his task, the more careful we
should be to speak only the truth about
him; and the more necessary It ;s IN q =
we should tell the full truth about him.
During the past year the action Of
the Administration, taken largely
through the Postoffice Department has
ocen such as to render it a mat
Ter OF some danger for any man, and

truth, If that truth be unpleasant to

been very marked politically. Such

men. even although they arc strong
men, cautious about telling truths
