BAD NEWS FOR BERLIN.

The war news from the eastern front these days is bad news
for the German people. Quotations from German newspapers
portray the gloom that ~overhangs the people in the large cities.
That the people in the small towns and country are equally de-
pressed is not to be doubted.
The Liberty Loan bond buyers of the preceding loans have their
share in the success of the entente allies. They furnished the
sinews of war not only to fight the U-boats and to build ships, not
only to raise, equip, and send our soldiers over, not only to supply
them and our allies with food and munitions, but more than &c.
100000 900 of their money has been loaned to our allies so that
they may prosecute the war with vigor and strength.
We here at home have an opportunity to send the Germans
some more bad news. The Germans have great respect for mon
ey; they know its vital value in waging war. They know, too,
that the support the American people give a Government loan
measures largely the support they give their Government, the
moral as well as the financial support they give their armies in
the field.
A tremendous subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan will be
as distressing to the German people as a defeat for them on the
battle field, and it will mean as much. 1t spells their defeat; it
breaks their morale; it means power to their enemies. A sub
scription to the loan is a contribution to German defeat and Amer
lean victory.

&kEss, PLEAsANrv1LE, NEW JERSEY, SATURDAY, AUGUST 81, 1918.
GENERAL cURTAILMENT ORDERED.

Following close on the order of the war board to all newspapers
to discontinue tree and exchange copies, new specific regulations
nave been issued Tor the weekly newspapers, which are more
drastic even than those previously issued.
Publishers of weekly newspapers are now required to make a
sworn statement of the actual amount of white paper used. and to
affect a reduction of at least fifteen per cent in the use of white
paper, either by cutting down the size O. the newspaper, or by a
reduction in the circulation.
The following excerpts are taken from the new War Board rec
concentrations, as promulgated at the recent session:
An increase in the subscription price of the paper, especially
where the price is less than So a year.
The discontinuance of all subscriptions that are not renewed and
paid in advance at the time the subscriptions expire.
The elimination of all free copies except one to each advertiser.
ed in exchange are absolutely essential to the conduct of the paper.
The dlscontnuance of the practice of conducting subscription
contests or clubbing arrangements when the weekly paper does
not receive approximately full subscription price.
Publishers of weekly newspapers will be supplied by the war
industries board with blanks for the purpose of reporting the am
cunt OF paper used by them each month from September ], 1917,
to September 1, 1918. The statements made by the publishers
will be in the form of sworn affdavits and each month for the next
IL they will be required to make a sworn statement showing the
amount of paper consumed during that month, and it is expected
that this amount will be Is per cent. less than that used during
the same month of the previous year.
Publishers who have stock on hand will not be allowed to use it
in larger ration than those who must buy from month to month.
Failure to make accurate reports, or failure to make reductions
will result in either mills or jobbers being required to shut off the
supply of paper to the offending publisher.
The requirements are made to save fuel in operating the paper
making factories.
The fuel allowed the manufacturers has been so reduced that
the amount of paper made will be much less than formerly, and to
prevent an absolute failure to obtain needed supplies on the part
of some publishers, they will be rationed in much the same man.
ner as the Food control limits sugar. While the big daily papers
that publications of not more than eight pages should not be re-
quired to make a reduction in number of pages although they will
eb obliged either to issue fewer copies or to resort to smaller pag-
es to meet the Is per cent. reduction provided for.

JERSEY FIGHTERS TO VOTE.
Commissioners Will Carry Ballots to
Men Overseas.

Secretary of State Martin will Sc
lect two men as election commission
ers among the New Jersey soldiers
overseas. The commissioners will be
named later. The work abroad will be
to give every New Jersey soldier and
sailor opportunity to vote in the next
election. The commissioners will dis
tribute ballots among the Jerseymen
in England, France and other coun-
tries and then arrange to have the bal
lots returned in time for the election.
Decision to send commissioners
abroad instead of relying upon the
mails to get the vote was largely due
to the fact that in a recent special
election in Phillipsburg the mail was
used. A total of 354 ballots were
mailed to Phillipsburg men and only
one was returned for the election.

SCRUT|NZE
REVENUE PLANS

The Administration plan OF raising
$4,000, 0O0. 900 for the fiscal year 1919
and $4,000, OOO. 900 for the fiscal year
1920, under the revenue bill to be en-
acted at the next session of Congress,
underwent careful scrutiny by Repub-
Iican leaders in Congress today.
The plan announced by Chairman
Simmons of the Finance Committee
provides:
THAT income, excess and war
profits taxes shall remain as they
stood in the House bill. dropping the
additional 6 per cent on undistributed
profits. These taxes would be levied
on the incomes and profits OF 1918.
For the fiscal year 1920 the war prof
its tax would be eliminated, the nor
NAL individual and corporation in
come tax would be reduced to 8 per
cent. and the excess profits tax would
be reduced one-third.
2-That all of the 20 per cent lux
ury taxes be dropped.
3-That the special and miscella-
neous taxes in the present law be in
creased approximately one-third.
1t developed today that the policy
to be pursued by the Republicans in
dealing with the next tax proposal
was discussed at a special conference.
The Republicans fear that the $4,000
100000 to meet the needs OF the fiscal
year 1920 will be insufficient and that
in consequence they. being in power
in both houses. will be in an embar-
RAISING position before the people.
1t was pointed out by Republicans
today that Liberty bond issues will
amount to $22.OOO.OOO 900 before the
selling of bonds can be discontinued.
The interest on these bonds by 1920
will require nearly 1000. 900, 900.
This would leave only $4,000. OOO. 900
in revenue upon which to run the
Government.
The great reductions in war eX-
penses promised by the cancellation
of contracts will not materialize. Re-
publicans believed. They said reduce
tions would not amount to more than
$4,000, OOO, 900 or $4,000 100000.

IA a startling fact, the ruth "f wrich

These thousands of people are swal-
