HUNS HIDE NEWS
FROM THEIR MEN
Prisoners Do Not Know of
Marne Disaster Others Heard
Wild and Vague Rumors
By WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Aug. 2:-Desperate at
tempts are being made to hide the
news of the Marne disaster from the
men in Crown Prince Rupprecht's
group of armies. or 10 sugarcoat 1t
so far as possible. But despite these
precautions the news is percolating
through.
Prisoners taken near Merris knew
nothing definite concerning the
events in the Champagne. Rumors.
however, had been circulated persist
entity that the German offensive was
going badly.
This is having an increasingly
demoralizing effect. There is consid-
erable dissatisfaction among the men
owing TO the scarcity of news. An
officer had heard that the Crown
Princes drive toward Paris was not
progressing favorably, but he still
thought the Germans held Chateau
Thierry. A private heard a rumor
that the French attacked with 500
tanks and that a big German retire.
ment was under way.
Another heard reports that a re-
tiYement according to plan" was be-
ing made. But apparently the troops
took but little stock in such childish
tales, especially as they had been told
previously that Paris soon would fall
and that peace you'd be forced on
the Allies.
Try as the higher command will, 1t
is unable to prevent some inkling of
the truth being learned. Everything
turns more and more to Increasing
fuss behind the enemy lines. Their
nerves are obviously as jumpy as q
sore tooth. Meantime, British raids
continue and the artillery on both
sides is creating cases of sound in
desert OF silence.

LICKING LODGE No. 80, 1. A. of M.
Spends Weeks End at DR.. Stones
Beautiful White City Park
(Bv John Bush)

More than one hundred members of
Machinists Local No. 80, together
with a number of their friends great
ly enjoyed a fish dinner and social
time held last Saturday at DR.. Stones
white City" which was arranged and
managed by the Entertainment Com
mittee of the local. The day was one
complete round of pleasure. The de-
licious dinner was prepared by Henry
Heiser, that prince of caterers, who
has no superior in preparing any
species of the finny tribe.
The program was varied and in
teresting. Licking Lodge is fortunate
in having many members who are
fine singers, and when these brothers
began to harmonic they made the
woodland hills ring with the echo of
their melody. Bro. John Garrity, who
possesses a classic basso voice, sang a
number of solos. Bro. Jas. P. Wolfe
delivered a fine address, and in clos
ing introduced Bro. John Cosgrove
who made an elegant speech. Bro.
Frank Jopen, professional sleight
of hand performer, more than came
up to expectations. The feature act
was removing the vest from Bro. Jas.
Mckinley without removing his coat.
Bros. Swern, Hupp, Nutter, Ulrich,
Dennison and Church were partic-
ipants in swimming contests with
honors about even.
The weather was ideal and the
outing was complete success, which
was mostly due to the untiring efforts,
energy and ability of the chairman of
the Amusement Committee, Bro. Earl
Swern better known among his large
circle of friends as Dutch. When it
comes to attending to the affairs of
social function "Dutch" is a star, and
it has long been by-word with the
machinists when a social affair is sug-
gested, "leave it to Dutch y.

WHY AMERICANS R|DE;ST0RY OF
 All UT0M0b|LE
By R. H. REUBEN kisseI Auto Co.

'There was a time when man never though of riding to his work. or to any of his other activities. The pace at which the world was going at that time placed no strain on the individuals effort to keep up with it. The only man who considered it necessary was the doctor, and unless there was a hurry-up call, he followed the custom of the times and walked.
 As cities grew, business area ex- D a n d e q, demanding time saving methods to keep u pwith the quick ened pace. The telephone, telegraph, adding machine and typewriter were invented and perfected to make econ- omy of time possible.
 But while these time and labor saving necessities made possible an economy in the transaction of busi- ness, individual transportation methods still moved at the old pace.
 More Competition
 With greater population, came more competition. Wide areas took place of confined territory The street car became necessity, then keener competition, more people, more streets, more vehicles. until congestion became the order of the day. Such a chaotic
 
 growth or expansion. A vehicle was needed that would start and stop quickly, that would expand with the growth of business-that would cut down mans travelling time. The au- tomobile was the obvious result, a utility that has, through it's perfection, now become a necessity.
 Today it is up to every man and woman to do the most and best work, ! no matter in what line of activity. l Through the adaptability of the auto mobile, one is able to do more work in | the time an automobile saves, making it just as necessary from an efficiency and economy standpoint as the type writer, adding machine, or telephone
 Cuts Down Nerve Strain Again, take the men who are under constant business strain, how long could they keep up the pace if it were not for tn ehealthy relief, the natural | let-down that results from driving be- | hind. the wheel of their automobiles. 1 The rush of fresh air stimulates the lungs, clears the mind, and puts new life into them.
 Out side of the time it saves, the health benefits of the automobile is an added reason why professional and business men are finding their cars worth many times their original cost
 T was recently talking with prom 1 inent physician and he made the re- mark that in his opinion, the automo- bile has done more for the health and efficienc yof the American people than any other thing. With the first spin behind the wheel, one becomes alert old interests become new, vigor and vim replace apathy and weariness.
 Tt increases the owners abilities by Increasing his capabilities. It develops personal efficiency, induces progress iveness and initiative. It mobilizes his mental pitch. One becomes practically new person and that is a priceless transition.
 In All Walks of Life
 with personal efficiency an6 economy in time a national necessity of today, with the automobile proving it's adaptability along these lines, there is no question in my mind that with it:

The spud cutting was decidedly new ex perience for some of the girls, and somewhat of a lark To others 1t was little more than they were ac- customed to do at home. On the first date set for planting, the war gardens were bedecked with snow, but a sec end guess on the weather proved much better, and the planting was done with military honor. The troop was divided into twelve squads, eight girls to a squad.

 cotton is particularly sought for the manufacture of tires,- especially cord tires. which are now coming into such extensive use. The difficulty experi- enced in obtaining cotton from Egypt, since the beginning of the war is one of the reasons for the establishment of a large cotton plantation near Chand- | Ter, Arizona, by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company None but Egyp- tian cotton is raised on this plantation.

 Its all very well to speak iokirely about the unseen hand hut I know, and so does every oth1.' n1aa who comes in contact with these sclf.sn inte.s sts, that it $ a siAiT leaiit%, end that much of the insId.-us pi"pa- g.,pda that as a matter Sf convenience is charged up to external influences has its inception right here in this country. with men to whom the pro- longation of the war means increased opportunities for fattening their purses.
 Tt is the safest sort of game to play, because the ways through which they can attain their ends are So devious that the chance of their being detected are relatively slight. Delayed shipments of raw mater ials, or the finished product, slowing down in production, congestion due Fostensibly to bad management, but in reality often the outgroWth of care fully laid plans-those and a thousand | other things can hamper our opera tiops abroad, and injure us and those 1 in Europe dependent in large measure on us, more than the mouth i ings of an army of soap box orators.
 Let me cite an instance by way o1 | illustrations
 l :. England is confronted by the most l Serious food shortage in it's history. Practically every able bodied man is under arms and there is no one at home to produce the food but the women and children. There must be | q greater cultivation of land than ever this year.
 We had this in mind when we con- tracted with the English government | to build for it a large number of tractors. Each tractor in England can produce about fifty times it's weight and bulk in a single season. For this reason it should have preference in shipping even over food. We sent these tractors to the seaboard in solid trains, so that there might be no de- lay in their reaching England in time
 for this season. Several thousand
 were permitted to pile up until the docks were congesteo while less than
 ten per cent had been loaded aboard
 ship.
 As Good as His Word
 We cabled Lord Northcliffe and suggested if the officials could not
 load them that we be permitted to
 
 Back came the assurances from
 Lord Northcliffe that he would act
 vigorously. The way those tractors were placed aboard ship showed that he was as good as his word. That was congestion that faded with gratifying rapidity.
 Such conditions are far more pre- valent than the public is aware of. ; It is not because the interests re-
 sponsible for this state of affairs love
 war itself, but they see an opportun-
 ity to profit.
 If there ever was a time in the , nations history when selfish interests , should be showed so far into the , background it is this very day-this , very hour.
 ? If we can't have peace without fighting for it, let us fight in man. $ ner that the whole world will know that we mean business-that We are 2 in it to stay, with all our hearts ani
 souls, to the finish.

increased usage in all walks of life, its utility will assume proportions hitherto untouched
 With the necessity of increased ef- forts which have been thrust upon our country, and the necessity of meeting lthose requirements without loss of time, it will be written in the world s history how the automobile over night proved one of the foremost innova- tins of mankind that put in the nation on an efficiency basis

Taxes and the Bond Issue.


The House ways and means committee is beginning work on .
war revenue bill to raise 49, O0O,OOO from taxes this year, instead
of the 81 ,OOO,OOO,OOO raised last year. 1t expects to have the bill
ready by late in August, while the treasury department is planning
a big loan drive for late September.
The president has urged early action on the tax bill for the
reason that business men should know where they stand as soon a.
possible. 1t is quite as important that the people generally should
know where they stand in relation to taxes in order that they may
know what they can do III subscribing for the new Liberty bonds.
This will not matter s. much with those whose incomes have
been favorably effected by war conditions or by that species Of infls
ton which is reflected in q more or less arbitrary and very high and
fictitious state Of prices and valuations of property. But It win
matter greatly to the socalled salaried class, who have been q large
advanced and whose real incomes o wages have been falling steadily
under rising prices and necessary costs of living.
There is nothing elastic in these incomes. It is all the other wav
1t is a case OF being caught between al immovabe body on one sie
and in irresistibly constructing force moving from the other side. II
will be a case not of willingness to continue buying bonds, but OF aS
honest inability to do anything of the kind.
The tax revenues are to be doubled. It is important not onlv that
congress keep in mind this forthcoming bond issue in its distribution
Of the doubled tax burdens, but that this class of income earners "a
well as all others be informed beforehand Of Just where they stand IN
relation thereto.
