WASHINGTON, Aug. .11. 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.

BRITISHER AT CURE
HELD 6Y GERMANS
Hunger tames. A linry. ',
loses much of its courage and cftic
iencv. 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.
KactMKl's Xavjr Her Bulwark

bulwark, her very life in time of

ly small stocks to have in reserve, lie

Tho hard, nlarnu'ng facts answer
the frenuent nuestien: "Wliv doesn't
.Europe disarm f" The powers of
Europe will not trust each other. 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.

(From 8. F. 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! The situation Is one
in which wo eniMot Inke Unity judg
ment uor export ndvioos nnd opinions
without first going for ill confirming
same, An illustration oi me nut lire
of the situation iV given in the sev
eral reports received liy the ex-
ehanco in icspeot to uliliMiig the
London markets this year, even if
there he no nmvket in continental
Europe. 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.
English apples of nil description,
eating and cooking, can be had for
3." td 40 cents ri buliel. If the war
continues for very long, matters will
be pretty serious."
A later report wiys;
"Stagnation not confined to ap
pleS. bui same with all fruit nnd
produce. Peoptu not buying nnything
but necessities. - People have been
exhorted to buv from liand to mouth'
ns rieeexsaryv There are some Aus
tralian Jonathans -.knocking . around
for which the holdifr will be glad to
ueUlO cents. Almost nnything in tho
fruit line can be bought nt your own
figgure."
A.still Inter report says: ".
''It will probably be, October before
wo, breathe freely agnln. Now choked
up with home supplies. Would hnvn
estimated New (owns, $2 to .2.'J." bo-
fore the war. Now we can't anv any
thing. There nre so ninny jrv in Iho
proo.sition thnt we ciinnnt make
forecast. 0ienltig of trade routes
mn.v, stimulate trade, hut conditions
here nrc not pointing to improvement
now.
"Many people out of work nnd on
half pay. Stores sell very liltle.
Miitiufiicturers of foodstuffs nro de
manding cash against orders, which
action is putting many small men nut
of business.
"As we have said, however, things
cltnngo so quickly that wo- nuiy Iinvo
another story to toll within n short
period,"
