Plan for a Ti or JO per cent war (ax on railroad tickets, theater tickets, baseball tickets and the like, is under Consideration by members of the ways and menus committee. The plan, calculated to raise annu ally from $."50,000,000 to $80,000,000, originated in administration circles. Opinion nmong the democrats of the committee is divided. Some contend that a tax on heer and increased taxes on domestic wines and patent medicines, with an increase, of 1 per cent in the income tax and a permanent inheritance tax, should meet all the cxie-encies caused by the European wnr without being felt seriously by individuals. Xo forma) action has been taken. BiailSH WE PAPER' tiNHMttl i . r v i MVPhuU. a senate, doenasent of the' '".

Nnnotoon'a nxlom th'ttf oh army marches and fights on its stom ach' holds as true today as in the period of the Napoleonic wars a, hun dred years ago. That profound truth, however, has this limitation thnt a hungry army will fight with in creased ferocity if it knows thnt a quick victorj will gMvo it command of the food supplies of Ilia enemy. Hut a hungry nation cannot buoy its sjiirils with that expectation. If its people are otire reduced to fam ine conditions, inch; nuirlial"' sprit oozes and pence conditions that, were regarded as unbearable in the enrly singes of the wnr grow mcrcaingly tolerable In this fuet Dr. Nicliolns Murray flutter; president of Columbia Univer sity, homo from a trip to Kuroije, finds strong hope that the wnr will be brief. "If war continues a few weeks longer," thinks President lliitler, "victor .and vanquished will find a common lot nwaitini; them in the foreboding shadow of famine." Kxhnustion of fodd supplies will foreshorten the wnr but hnrdly to the extent imagined by Dr. Utitler. England is well fortified hv her com manding nnvy against an immediate food shortage. Kussin, her ally, is a food ex'iorting country, and so long as Britain can hold the German navy interned in the Itnltic her thips of commerce will be comparatively freo to trnnsort needed supplies from the United Slntcs, Canada and other British dependencies and Rusin.

These were pcnlous- ly small stocks to have in reserve, lie sniiCnnd lie urged thnt the navy be kepi ik condition to gunrantee pro tection to the British merchant mur ine.

In Britain the conviction is deep and ha tionnl tha't' England must hold, at any cost, her commanding position at sea. Hence her proclaimed purpose t6 keep her navy always at a fighting ,'nnnot hone for much greater growth if liehl to her present European nrcn. A census in 1010 gave her (l.00ft000 population, and growth since then has carried her numbers beyond Ml, tfOO.OOQ 00,000,000 people crowded upon ah nrcn that falls considerably short of the combined nrcali of Slim- tntm nnd Idaho I An Appatllng liutiasso hnglntid will not disarm nt sen; Germany will not dinrm on laud; Franco will not 'disarm iii the face of the German menace on her frontier. nud'Itussia will not disarm with Ger many and Austria crowding her for room. This makes an appalling impasse thnt is intensified by the fact that the present alliances of the powers nrc mere makeshifts of the hour. The necessities of European diplomacy, like polities, makes strniiKC bedfel lows. Within the decade ltussin and Japan were nt each other's throats. They now fight side hv side. For a generation it was the traditional MI icy of England, under Gladstone nnd Dcnconsficld, to oppose liussin at every turn. A great nnd needed en gineering project, an underground railway lienenth the channel to con ncct France with England, hns failed to mntcriatixe, from English fear thnt it might he turned to warlike use by f France for armed invasion of her sea-guarded iles. Now England, Russia, France and Japan find them selves in a terrible nllihtico against the Germanic-Austrian Combination of anus. It all constitutes a sluiwudolis in tcrnational tragedy, nnd that tragedy growing out of the lamentable insuf ficiency of Eurocnn space to satisfy the conflicting ambitions nnd nspira; tions of the wnrring powers. Armament a Heavy Hui-oYh Upon the opposing hand, it is in- cnntro'6rtihly apparent that there is a" limit to what tho people can bear in the burden of armies and navies. To the despairing plea, ''We dare not disarm-," human limitation replies, "on must give us relief from this appalling burden." nnr may break the impasse. If the' clash of arms should give one group a crushing victory over the op posrag group, tne victorious power could dictate terms of disarmament, sufficiently sweeping to justify; in jturn, their partial disarmament. If, as some predict, the onposing armies will fight to exhaustion without de cisive results, public sentiment throughout the .length nnd brendtlrnf Europe, sickened by wnr nnd horri fied by its penalties; will demand - Her. Should it come to thnt pass, the United States may find itself called upon and chnrged with tho exalted duty of helping tho warring nations to lay down their aniw and heal their grievous wounds. AM!)

Btar), Upon the eve of len'dlng millions of their subjects forth to kill men and be killed, without permlttlnR them to say whether or not they de sired to kill those against whom they have no quarrel, three, nletlntlc em perors of Europe calmly -assorted that' add was1 with them and sanc tioned them In .the devil's work, they were doing. Preliminary to 'order ing a hell on earth they told their subject's to pray to the All wise Fath er to bless the slaughter thnt wag soon to bcsln. It aeems Impossible that sane men could themselves pray, or ask others ta nry to God forlils btoeelng on a man-made hell on a hell not made by these driven to It, but by the few who do the driving. It seems a blas phemy rather than pkKy, or even 'a recognition 'of the existence of a Juut, a' Merciful and a Beneraent God, that one or two or three wen could give the. order for slaughter, .and then In voke the blessing of God upon the order and Its Inevitable results. Three pletlstlc emperors, acknowl edging no responsibility to the mil lions they rulo, giving those millions no voice In the quetl6n of peace or war, admitting no, fight o'n the Prt J of those millions to refrain from, tho siaugniering or nnnian jDeings wtjen the order Is' given for destrucffosT, for massacre, for murder, command that the fires of dttih,, he righted and then comraandUhelr millions' of. subjects to Invoke God's blessing upon the hell of which they are to become sv part. 'Ou a 'balcony In Berlin stands a third pletlstlc emperor, saying to hi subjects assembled in tho street) "And now f commend you 'to God. Gott0hHrek and kneel bsfore4Ofld, I M pfy -fortUs lti'forewr galhin't arm(y." It Is , sujiposable JhjJ an All-wise, and Adjust God will listen to all of thele canting prayers? It Is supposable that Ho will OBsIst In the wholesale murder of Ills children, In tho desolation of homes, In the slaughter that means untold agony? Go to church and pray for what? That the' licit made by the "djrlno right of kings to govern wrong" shall be hotter and more destructive thcro than hero, that mpro Innocent 7Uislans shall bo slain than Innocent Germans, or that more German fath ers and sons shall fall than French fathers and sons, or that more Aus trian wives be widowed and more Austrian children be made father less than Itussian wives and children. When men worship Baal, why do they insult God by addressing their murderous prayers to Him? When they follow Baal, why not follow him openly? When they engage In the devil's work of slaughtering men, why do they pray, "Oed bless our slaughter?"God grant that, when this wholesale murder Is oyer,, it will never agsn be' within the power of three men to have power'of life and death over millions, and to cause un told misery, to stalk like plague through the land". Many reorts of a nrc reported by the. Fruit Exchange in u recent report to their growers!

A report from one of the prominent European operators, who is nt this time in the I'nited Nttlteo, nnd Whose expression is tnken from the promising view which seemed pos. siblc in regard to shipping, U in brief ns follows. As his report stntes, however, everything is dependent upon the condition on the other side. "I nm glad to say that one phase of this export problem seems to he nil justing itself in our fnvor. Today we have been ndvNed by our steam ship friends thnt to a great extent from September onward they con template resuming their regular ser vices from New York and Boston to English porta. If this in so, nnd if, ns we led, will be the cfte, we rtNii get the benefit of rcitsbnuhle lutes of freight nnd insurance, it freo ex port of movement of npplcs will be possible. The other side of the prob lem, however, is still to he determin ed." No"w we arc given the "other side," reports the NorlhweStcm Fruit Exchange, through direct word from correspondent both in Englund nnd the eontjuent. Tlio "other sidt' to the nbovo report Is shown by the following excerpts from reports. One dated August 10 .nyst ''Choice fruit i n drag here. Fin est English hothouse grapes arc go ing nt about 10 cents per pound and very little demand tit thnt flggure. You can luiv English plums nt Xt to 40 cents per twenty-eight pounds.
