GERMAN CHIEFS
EXPLAIN DEFEAT
"We ALI Want Peace With
Honor" Won Hindenburg
Tells Writers.

Amsterdam, Aug. 5-''The enemy
eVaded us on July Is, and we there
upon, as early as the evening of the
18th, broke off operations. 1t is al
ways our endeavor to stop an under
taking as soon as the stake is not
worth the cost. 1 consider it one of
my principal duties to spare the blood
and strength of our soldiers"
Gen. Ludendorff, First Quartermas-
ter-General of the German army made
this statement to a gathering. of Ger
man newspaper correspondents who
were received by Field Marshal. Won
Hindenburg and himself, according
to dispatches received here.
Referring to Gen. Foch, Gen., Luz
dendorff continued:
His plan was undoubtedly to cut
off the entire arc of our front south
of the Aisne by break through on
the flank. But with the proved lead
ership of our Seventh and Ninth arm
les that was quite impossible.
I'VE reckoned with an attack on
July Is and were prepared for it. The
enemy experienced very heavy losses
and the Americans and African aux
iliary troops, which we do not under
estimate, suffered severely.
by the. afternoon of the 10th we
already were fully masters of the sit
uation and shall remain so. We left
the abandoned ground to the enemy
according to our regular plan. Cain
of ground and Mare are only catch
words without importance for the Is
sue of the war. We are now, as be-
fore, confident"
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg also
dilated on how economically tbs
troops of Germany had been used
He said: This circumstance and sup
ply considerations decided our meas,
ures and we transferred the fighting
to favorable ground where the troop
could easily be supplied.
I'VE all want peace, but it must be
peace with honor"
The correspondents declare thai
Won Hindenburg is in the best Of
health,

JUDGE keller
DECIDES AGAINST
CH|LD'S MOTHER
Refuses Petition of Mrs.
Irving Darling for Gus
tody of Her Boy.

About two weeks ago, Mrs. Irving
Chester Darling, feeling that she was
being deprived of her parental rights
inasmuch as her infant son Floyd
Harold Darling, was in the care of his
grandparents and when she went to
see him at their home in Stratford her
reception was not what she thought it
t;hould be, brought habeas corpus
proceedings for the possession of the
child
The case was tried before Judge
John E. Keller at special session of
the Superior Court last Friday. In a
decision handed down Saturday after
noon Judge Keller finds that the
mother, who brought suit through her
next best friend, her father, Joseph
Broadbent, as she is a minor, is not
being deprived of any of her rights, nor
that the child is being Illegally detain-
ed. In the opinion of Judge Keller
the child will be better off in the
care of the father and he remands him
to his care.

The resolution follows:
Whereas it is essential to the pre-
servation of orderly liberty that in
dividual and social restraint be prac-
ticed and encouraged in the present
disorganized condition of civilization;
and,
Whereas, The United States of
America, as the largest and most pow
eTful self-governing nation in the
world, should set an example to this
end;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
Connecticut Council of Defense ap-
preciatively endorses the brave and
timely action of the President in
warning the people against the use of
violence in curbing disloyalty and Sc
dition, and that a copy of this resolu-
ton be forwadred to the Council of
National Defense and to the several
state councils of defense and commit
tees onp ublic sofety throughout the

COME 10000
MILES TO DADDY
Two Boys Mother Dies Of
Heart Failure on Way
From Russia.

New York, Aug. 5-Taving come
10000 miles to meet their daddy, two
sturdy little fellows, clad in minia-
ture Russian army uniforms, reached
this city Friday morning.
They were Gersh Zigudkin, years
old, and his brother, Meyer Zigudkin,
years old, formerly of Grodno, Rus
STA, but from now and indefinitely of
New York city if they have anything
to say in the matter, for the exper-
fences they passed through in their
own war ridden country have filled
their impressionable young minds
with deep horror of the place they
once regarded as home
The father of the two little globe
trotters, Julius Zigudkin, was on hand
to meet them when they arrived at the
headquarters of the Hebrew Shelter
ing and Immigrant Aid Society at 229
East Broadway. He gathered his
sons in his arms and then eagerly
scanned the bystanders
His inspection did not seem to salts.
fly him for he addressed a hurried
query in Russian to the older boy and
the latter, by way of response, pulled
from the breast pocket of his khaki
Jacket a picture of the mother who
had died in the course of the journey.
Julius Zigudkin left his family IN
Grodno five years ago and came to
this country to better himself. He
found work as a carpenter and with
in a year had managed to save
enough to send for his family.
The outbreak of the war, however,
made it necessary for Mrs Zigudkin
to postpone the trip. When the
Germans captured Grodno they order
ed the expulsion of all the women and
children, so Mrs. Zigudkin fed with
her two sons to a town still in the
hands of the Russians Here living
conditions were so intolerable that the
courageous little woman decided to es-
say the trip to America by way Of
China and Japan.
The vicissitudes of the trip, how.
ever. were too much for the mother
and she died of heart trouble at Muk-
den. Samuel Mason, manager of the
Yokohama branch of the Hebrew
Sheltering and Jewish Aid Society was
informed of the plight OF the boys.
He made hasty trip to Mukden and
brought them back to Yokohama.
A Russian woman on her way to
the home of her daughter in Cleve-
land brought them to New York.
The diminutive globe trotters were
taken by their father to the home Of
their aunt, Mrs. Sirinsky, at $50 East
121st street.

Administrations MAN
power BILL PRESENTED
EASE BURDEN ON
SMALL INCOMES
Committee Favors Abate
ment to 5 Per Cent. Tax
on Those Below $4,000.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The basis of
the attachments to be made from the
10 per cent. normal tax on personal
incomes has virtually been agreed on
by the Ways and Means Committee.
The attachments, which will have the
effect of considerably lessening the tax
burden on smaller incomes, will go as
far as cutting the 10 per cent. tax in
two.
1t is the present opinion Of a ma
jority of the committee that incomes
and portions of incomes below $4,000
a year shall not be made to bear more
than a per cent tax. The eXemp-
tions of $4,000 for married and ST.
600 for unmarried persons apply, of
course.
From the beginning of abating the
tax to per cent on incomes 1t is
planned to scale the abatement up to
$4,000 incomes, having the full 10
per cent. normal tax apply to the por-
tfons of incomes above 10000. When
the bill is gone through by the COM
mittee the second time several mem
bers, both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, will make an effort to provide
a further abatement in favor of earn
ed incomes.
It Is a problem whether this will
succeed. The present plan is to write
such an arrangement into the law
that after the normal income tax Is
figured out the recipient of an in
come which is more than one-halt
earned shall be entitled to deduct 20
per cent. of his tax.
The Secretary of the Treasury, who
was expected tomorrow, may not ar
rive until the latter part of the week
and the prospective suggestions from
the administration that heavier war
taxes be placed on excess profits may
not reach the ways and means COM
mittee until then.
Most Of the committee members are
not opposed to the imposition of
war profits tax to be levied more than
the scale of excess profits taxes
which have been adopted. They be-
lleve it unnecessary and tax which
will yield practically nothing. How
ever, if the administration insists II
will be written into the law.
The suggestion which has come in
directly from the White House that
the President is dissatisfied with the
excess profits rates tentatively adopt
ed in the new tax law has amazed
most of the members Of the commit
tee.
The suggestion that they are not
heavy enough and are letting pro-
fiteers escape is ridiculous. they say
and they point out that the 80 pei
cent. excess profits tax limited at b!
those who pretend to represent thu
Presidents views on the bill is actual
ly applied on all profits above % pei
cent. of the capital invested. Tht
committee, for the most part, believe!
that actually less money would be
raised by imposition Of a fiat 80 pei
cent. excess profits tax on all profits
above 0 per cent
At all events, there will be no NOV,
to change the excess profits taxes
tentatively adopted unless the wore
that the change is desired comes di
rectly from the White House or from
the Secretary of the Treasury.
