FOE MPRESSES LABOR
TO CUT MURMAN LINE

Washington. Sept. 10.-News that the
Germans are forcing members Of the
White and Red Guards in Finland to
join in their operations on the Murman
coast emphasizes the difficulties the Ger
mans face in the attempt to block the
Allied forces there.
For some time the Germans have
sought to compel the Firms and the
Bolsheviki to arrange a treaty to give
the Bolshevik the Kola Peninsula. Fail
ing in this, German army has been
sent into Finland. which is claimeh to
number 1000. but which is believed here
to be nearer $4,000 to 10000 men, to
attack the Allies.
Owing to the character of the land.
which is covered with marshes and
woods, the Germans cannot hope to
conduct formidable expedition there
until winter sets in and the ground
freezes. Accordingly, they are trying to
build narrow gauge railroad to cut
the Murman line south of kola and 1t
Is assumed that it is for this work that
they are impressing labor.
Recently. a british patrol, operating
west from Ken, encountered forge
of Germans about seventy miles from
that city. 1t is now believed that this
force was a portion of the organization
endeavoring to reach the Murman line
before re-enforcements for the Allies
arrived at kola

Advises Caution
In Taxing Wealthy


COptinued from rage Vhe
next December will cause loss of
$500 OOO, 900 in revenue under the new
war tax bill, Mr.. Longworth said Con-
gress might be forced to impose con-
SUMPTION sooner than had, been expected.
In that connection he suggested a tax
of seven cents pound on coffee, twenty
FIVE cents on tea. 10 per cent of rubber,
90 per cent on wool. Is per cent on
hides and one cent on sugar. He esti-
mated these would yield $4,000. 900
annually.
The Ohio representative also warned
that the proposed wartime national pro-
hibition legislation would reduce the cs-
timated revenue returns from beverages
nv S1,5O0OO0, 900. which, with the lost
revenue on beer from December | until
,he national prohibition measure becomes
effective. would reduce the estimated
revenue under the bill to $4,000. 100000.
Although criticizing some of its fea-
lures. Mr.. Longworth commended the
hill as a whole as vast Improvement
over the old law.
Kaiser's Sons Safe
In concluding, the speaker portrayed
the conditions under which the German
people, gagged and bound. pay bloody
trihute to the insatiate ambition of the
house of HohenZollern,' and said that no
citizen of the embattled nations is more
surely immune from bodily harm than
the German Emperor's six sons, who

Schwab has job to do. but his job
looks well within his powers. He will
have to build 1,SOO, 900 tons of ships in
the next five months. He estimates
that he can build 100000 tons in that
time. But suppose he does not Sup
pose the improbable. and that he falls
far short of even the 100000 tons now
estimated to be necessary FOR him to
supply. There is still that widows

Smaller amounts of shipping have
come from other neutral powers. The
