' PARIS, July 9. The German Em
peror has accepted the resignation of
Dr. Richard von Kuehlmann, the Ger
man Foreign Secretary, according to a
Basle dispatch to the Havas Agency.
It Is expected that Admiral von
lllntze, the German Minister at Chris
tlania and formerly Minister to Mex
ico, will succeed him.
Dr. Richard von Kuehlmann became
Foreign Minister August 6, 1917, suc
ceeding Dr. Alfred F. M. Zimmermann,
whose retirement closely followed the
exposure of his plot to involve the
United States in war with Mexico and
Japan in the event that this country
ehowed any Inclination to Join the
entente allies.
Momentous Speech Recalled.
Dr. von Kuchlmann's conduct of the
Foreign Office appeared to be more
than usually successful until June 25
last, when he appeared before the
Reichsta'g to discuss the political as
pects of the situation facing; Germany.
During his address he said:
"In view of the magnitude of this
war and the number of powers, in
cluding those from oversea, that are
. engaged, its end can hardly be ex
pected through purely military de
' ci si oris alone and without recourse to
diplomatic negotiations."
Kaiser's Speeches Contradicted- -This
statement, which flatly contra-
( dieted speeches by tho German Em-1
peror, who only a short time before
; bad referred to peace being won by
"the strong German sword," was re-
j ceived with consternation in the
I Reichstag and with eharp criticism by
the country. It was later reported that
Dr. von Kuehlmann's words bad been
approved by General Ludendorff, the
German commander on the western
V front.
I This brought to notice rumors of
' friction between Ludendorff and the
t German Crown Prince and his coterie
' who comprise the radical Pan-Germanic
elements In official circles.
Scapegoat Rumor Current
Soon after the address in the Reichs
tag it became common knowledge that
Dr. von Kuehlmann's retirement from
office would be forthcoming.
Some reports were to the effect that
his address was intended to Inform the
German people that their armies could
not win the war and was delivered
with the cognizance of the Emperor,
who, when he saw what a storm had
been stirred up, resolved to make Von
Kuehlmann the scapegoat.
WASHINGTON, July 9. An official
dispatch today from Switzerland sas
that the independent Socialist deputy.
Stroebel, in a violent speech in the
Prussian Landtag, recently condemned
the German government for its efforts
to secure a peace by force.
German People Warned.
He warned the German people that
unless they rid themselves of their gov
ernment and "send their politicians of
war and rapine to the devil," Amer
ica's millions of soldiers will prove too
strong a force to combat.
Publication in Swiss papers of the
text of Secretary Raker's letter to
President "Wilson giving the American
troop movement to Europe caused Ger
man authorities to permit Its publica
tion in Cermany according to a dis
patch received from Berne.
Baker's Figures Questioned.
The Kolnlsche Zeitung published the
letter under the heading "American
Bluff." the dispatch says, and com
mented as follows:
"Mr. Baker thinks l:o will be able
to dissipate all doubts about exacti
tude of his figures with his recitations.
"It is, however. enly the usual
American bluff. We know from re-liatl-
sources that the figures in-ques-tiun
are lnorinately exaggerated and
in no way correspond to the truth."

Vienna Paper Tljd Denounces as
Wholly False and Slanderous Hu
mors Kow in Circulation.
AMSTERDAM, July 9. Denying
rumors circulating in Austria-Hungary
regarding Empress ZIta. the
coi respondent at Vienna of the Tijd
says:
"It Is true the Austrian Empress
partly desires peace and has with
proper dignity advocated it, but the
rumor that an energetic Austrian of
fensive against Italy was delayed by
her influence is slanderous, as also Is
the rumor that the Empress was to
blamo for one or two setbacks which
followed the offensive.
"It is still more slanderous to in
volve her honor as a woman with im
perial statesmanship and the imperial
house. The Empress, whose sentive
ness is well known, suffered under the
imputations, which have driven her to
a sick bed.
"The slander is more painful as it
even assailed the wedded fidelity
which so distinguished the conduct of
the imperial couple. The non-existent
correspondence which was said to con
tain utterances of the Empress regard
ing peace is reported to be the first
cause of the difference between the
Emperor and the Empress."

WASHINGTON, July 9. (Special.)
Taxes on luxuries and some necessities
for the double-barreled purpose of fill
ing the National war chest and enforc
ing wartime economy and thrift are
proposed in a list of taxation sugges
tions submitted by the Treasury De
partment to the ways and means com
mittee of the House today.

"akin to treason" the department pro
poses war taxes on the higher grades
of men's, women's and children's cloth
ing, furniture, toilet articles, hotel
bills, gasoline, purses and handbags.
3ovel Feature Proposed

features of the anti-extravagance pro
gramme sketched by the Treasury.
Greatly increased taxes on automo
biles, Jewelry, musical instruments,
telephone and telegraph messages, soft
drinks, liquors and tobacco also are
proposed.
The Treasury recommends two class
es of taxes. In one class would be
taxes paid by the consumer on articles
purchased at retail, in the other would
be taxes paid by the manufacturer or
wholesaler and paid indirectly by the
consumer in the shape of higher prices.
Jewelry Levy SO Per Cent.

Treasury:
Fifty per cent on the retail price of
jewelry, including watches and clocks,
except those sold to Army officers.

trailers and truck units, motorcycles,
bicycles, tires and musical instruments.
A tax on all men's suits selling for

Intercession With. Bolshevlki Saves
Deputies From Exile and
Probably Death.
PARIS, July. 9. Colonel Joseph
Eoyle, an American from Nome, Alaska,
has become the popular hero of Rou
mania and wears the highest Rou
manian decorations within the gift of
the King for saving a number of Rou
manian deputies from certain exile and
probably death at the hands of the
Rssian Bolshevlki, according to trav
elers reaching France from Jassy, the
temporary Roumanian capital.
Soon after the Russian Bolshevlki
broke off relations with Roumania last
January as the result of alleged anti
Bolshevik activities of the' present
Roumanian deputies, several of these
officials were arrested at Odessa after
the Invasion of Bessarabia by Rou
manian troops. They were sentenced
to exile.
Colonel Boyle pleaded in their be
half, but the Bolshevik authorities
were deaf to his appeals. Colonel Boyle
then declared that if the Roumanian
deputies were deported he would share
their fate. A special steamer con
veyed the deputies and Colonel Boyle
to Sebastopol, where," after a stay of
several days. Colonel Boyle finally con
vinced the Russians that the Roumani
ans were innocent and -all were re
leased. Colonel Boyle took the Roumanians
back to Odessa and accompanied them
to Jassy, where he was given a recep
tion by the people and the government.
King Ferdinand awarded him the
Crown of Roumania, the highest Rou
manian decoration.
It was Colonel Boyle who, when all
other means of communication were
impossible, carried from Jassy to
Odessa the Roumanian peace terms
with the Bolsheviki, thus preventing
hostilities which, at that time, seemed
imminent.

Rutherford's letter follows:
"I have Just received your pam

contribute to the cause you represent.
Realizing that the replies received by
such an organization as yours are al
most invariably from those who agree
with you. while others ignore your
communication, I am taking the time
to answer simply to indicate to you
that all school men are not in sym
pathy with such propaganda as you
ane attempting to spread.
I have never seen in any of the
literature you have sent forth a single
argument which was either definite or
plausible, and some observation of mil

has shown me nothing except a more
manly bearing and improved physique

LIBERTY MAX DlFFICl-tTIES
TO BE ADJUSTED TOMGHT,
At a meeting of managers of
shipyards and other industrial
concerns, where employes have
subscribed for liberty bonds, with
Robert E. Smith, state manager,
tonipht at 7:30 o'clock at 222
Northwestern Bank building an
effort will be made to adjust all
difficulties encountered to date.
Anyone else with a r-roblein con
cerning liberty loan payments
and subscriptions is invited to
attend the meeting or call on Mr.
Smith earlier in the day.
Considerable trouble has re
sulted in not havtns some plan
whereby a man or woman who
subscribed while working for one
firm and who since has changed
employment can make payment
without difficulty. These people
now fipd it necessary to take or
send the money for the payment

Oregon's quota In the fourth liberty
loan, the campaign for which will start
October 1. will be between $45,000,000
and $30,000,000 on estimates brought
back to Portland by Robert E. Smith,
state manager ot liberty loan com
palgns. who returned yesterday from
San Francisco, where he attended a
conference' of officials of the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District.
Oregon's quota last time was $17,.
500,000, although the total subscribed
was J27.D00.0ii0. The vast prospective
increase In the Oregon quota has al
ready stirred bankers to contemplative
action, and Sir. Smith yesterday gave
out word that It would go hard with
liberty loan "slackers" In October.
The Oregon quota has been arrived
at after careful figuring. The total of
the fourth loan will be $8,000,000,000.
it Is thought, because the total of
anticipatory certificates now authorized
in advance of the loan is that sura.
Oregon Spirit Is Lauded.
A feature of the conference at San
Francisco was the attention given to
the Oregon "spirit" and Oregon "meth
od" at the start, and Mr. Smith was
called upon at the opening session to
explain how Oregon did it. The news
of this state's quick work in going over
the top in the loan and all other patri
otic drives was fresh in the minds of
the men at the conference.
"The conference was Intended to de
velop ideas so that the men in charge
of this district could transmit them
to the general liberty loan committee
meeting, which will be held in Wash
ington this month," said Mr. Smith.
"They were more than casually inter
ested in Oregon, and wanted to know
how it was done. Chairman Chicker
ing. of the speakers' bureau, asked for
a statement from me at the first ses
sion and I told them it was the Ore
gon way the Oregon 'spirit': that we
didn't want to assume too much credit
for organizing Oregon spirit.
Slackers to Be Handled.
"The big feature of the next cam
paign will be the comprehensive and
unfaltering way that so-called 'slack
ers' will be handled. We haven't any
great loan slacker evil here yet. but
the point is that the campaign Is to be
organized so thoroughly that when a
man refuses or falls to buy his quota,
not only will he be asked to give rea
sons, but his reasons will go on record.
"It will go hard with slackers where
ever they are found. The Los Angeles
system of rating and publishing every
man and woman and making him prove
his purchase at his voting place and
check out on the rating slip was most
interesting. There a man gets a green
tag when he subscribes to the loan
and he has to go to his voting place
and vote that tag, getting credit for it.
Rigid System Is Proposed.
"The consensus of opinion is that even
a more rigid system will be generally
adopted. There will be committees and
follow-up committees to learn why a
man has not subscribed his quota. Un
derstand, a 'slacker is not alone a man
who refuses to buy; the man who does
not buy up to his quota as determined
by the rating committee, which has
studied his Income and expense ac
counts, is equally a slacker and the
vigilance committees will be on his
trail.
"There is another thing that the peo
ple should appreciate, and that is that
they are invited to and expected to
buy these anticipatory Treasury certifl
