Must Proceed Now

WASHINGTON, May 27.-President Wilson personally took charge of the var tax legislation by appearing be ore the joint session of Congress md declared that it was necessary 4o proceed at once with the new war sax laws. He said the only way if meeting the problem of financing the war was to have Congress re nain in session and proceed al ,nce. Plans which might have de ayed work, but which involved working agreement between both par ies. have fallen through.
 The President asked Congress to illuminate all politics from consldera ion of revenue policies. He also ave a warning against lobbying in .onnection with the new bill and salo here is undisputed evidence that ,rofiteering is in vogue and that Il nust be reached by the new legisla ion.
 President Wilson was cheeret when his speech intimated almos'
 t the outset that new revenue would be drawn from the war pro 'ts on incomes for luxuries. Ih' 'rowded galleries and the House
 nd Senate members arose ans
 heered loudly, when he declared that there were hundreds of thou ands of American troops in th' field and in ships crowding to th' ront with regiment after regimen
 oining them, until the enem! would be beaten and brought to eckoning with mankind.
 His hearers lauded his declara lions that profteering should b. cached by taxation.

DAYS OF '97 GREAT SUCCESS.

The good old days of '97 were again gone over at the A. B. Hall Saturday night and proved the Big Blow Out that it was advertised. Money galore was swept. over the tables and the Auction Sales proved big money maker.
 Some of the best men in the game were seperating the public from their thousands and it was a pleasure to see them take it away so easy and gentle and like the days of old the suckers came back and lost more. The para aphernalia used was the or iginal that has seen service in the old dance halls here years ago and it sure looked the part A good sum was realized for the Red Cross and everyone had a good time and it was a sorry crowd that had to break ID at 1 in the morning only hoping
 hat it would last longer. The deal CTS were tired out from scraping the money across the tables ant it III went for a good cause this time. The Red Cross is much richer from the proceeds.

| part Of other governments. It was
clear. too, that Russia had been bound
to protect Serbia from Austria, and
that Germany understood this and
knew that Austria's attack on Serbia
meant war between Austria and Rus
sia, which also meant, Of course, war
between Germany and Russia and be-
tween Germany and France, since the
latter was Russia's ally.
Nothing could have been more sig
nificant than this, that Germany, being
herself already prepared-down to the
last buckle-for immediate war, de-
clared war on Russia for the alleged
reason that Russia was getting pre-
pared for war. We know this sort Of
talk of old in a thousand trials for
~cold-blooded murder in our own coun-
try. "Self-defense !" shouts the MUIR

Defense" Germany claimed loudly
through her attorneys. "He made a
motion toward his hip pocket; SO I

The German chancellor declared in
the reichstag that Russia made this
fatal motion toward the hip pocket in
spite of England's effort to keep peace.
Russia "began It," said the chancel-
lor-and then a few days later all Ger
many began shouting that England
"began it! This was when England
fulfilled her oath to Belgium, and Ger
many broke her own.
Evidence Grows Stronger.
The evidence went more and more
against Germany, and there were some
vicious sidelights which made the case
