BRYAN ASKS NBLLION FOR WAR EXPENSES TT" Tl WASHINGTON, ikt. ,). Bccre iavry Momh MUd eiirww today for Mt mifMlN(1mi nf $l,iWtM t" mi tJ )miw of the d!Jowl(t iui ! r MM'vlfxw to cmlii fr i 1mm Urn dM U tfrrp ft BOUND TOOK THE FOOD PRICE EXTORTION RELIABLE press dispatches from Berlin nnd Vienna . , judicata, that there has boon no increase in tho price oftfoodstuffs in those capitals since -the initiation of the war. On the contrary, America, lias advanced the price of nearly crory commodity to the point of extortion. In view Qf the rccord-brcnlring JVnwrionn crop tuul the fact that we d'd ijot import brcadsnffs, these advances can only he charged to the selfish greed of speculators who purpose holding back thosQ supplies until starving Europe is ready to pay their price. Tho American surplus in wheat is said to exceed 000, 000,000 bushels, the latter figure being the average amount of that commodity imported annually for Europe's needs. Of the ships calling at Atlantic ports, ;1 per cent arc lirit ish and 20 per cent German. These two nations subsidize their merchant ships on condition that the officers and crews belong to the naval reserves during time of war, so that 70 per cent of the bottoms normally carrying this trade may be eliminated from moving the enormous American surplus. The full complement of merchant ves sels plying between European and American ports in time of peace would be taxed to the limit to handle the Amer ican surplus in foodstuffs, so that there may be some question as to whether any appreciable amount of it will find exportation, at least while the Avar is on. It is almost certain that after peace litis been declared in Europe and transportation available, that Europe, re covering from the devastating influence of the war, will undergo a prolonged era of retrenchment and economy, at least in the matter of meats and kindred foodstuffs. These features, together with the changed industrial I conditions at home, which of ncccessity will enforce eeon fomy, ought sooner or later to bring tho combinations in control of the food commodities to a realization of their position and brjug prices in and demand. . , . THE WAR TAX MESSAGE JLi PRESIDENT WILSON" in a sane and admirable mess age to congress has asked for legislation creating a war tax that will, approximately add $100,000,000 to the annual governmental revenues to cover the deficit caused by decreased importation on account of the Avar. While the conditions making this step imperative were unforsccn and could not lun'c been forestalled by any American policy, the opposition political organs niay be expected to make great capital of the Avar tax and to criti cise the administration for conditions over which it has no control. The calm, sane judgment of the president through these trying times of Avar is daily being vindicated. His Mexican policy, so ridipuled by his politcal cnomes and jingoes, has vindicated the proverb, "That peace hath its victories no less than war." While other nations are declaring mora toriums, avc arc paying" pur debts; Avhile civilized Europe 'smashing treaties and dishonoring its bonds, avc are giA' ing to the AA'drld a great altruistic Avatcrway, Avithout stain or blemish on our treaties and' -with equality to all. Let us be thankful that at this time wchavc no spirit of militarism, nor big stick, like that Avhich is smashing the intricate Avhcels of ciA'ilization abroad. History Repeats in Seige of Paris, Prepared Now Almo( exactly one month after the beginning of tho Franco-Prusinn war of 1870-71 Paris closed her gates and prepared to stand a siege. Now, a month after the beginning of war, Paris is preparing to close her gates again. In 1870 the Prussian mobilization uns ordered on July 15. No fighting of consequence occurred until August 1. Itetween August 1 and September 1 tho battle of Wcia cnburg, Speebeni, AVorth, flravclottfl nnd Sedan were fought. On Septem ber 2 Napoleon surrendered his nrtiiy at Sedan and Paris realized taat France was beaten. And on Sep. tembcr It), n few days more thnn two months after war commenced, Paris closed her gates and was iniestcd. Il September 21 the Germans surround ed Pari?, a eity of 2,000,000 tM-opIe, the proudest, loveliest eity in P.urop, was cut off from tho world. When the gates of Paris were closed that day, General Trocher, its military governor, hud 100,000 troops, mostly untrained, hurriedly organized levees, under his command. So uwift hud been the PruMnn ad vance, so undreamed of its ucccs, Paris was ill prepared and unprovis ioned for a siege. OuUide its walls nearly 1100,000 Prussians camped. The Prussians counted upon n short siege. Paris achieved the mir aculous, di the fuce of starvation, internal strife and cut off from all the world, it held tho invader off for four months. It was not until January 27, 187J, its gates wera op cued fo admit its conquerors. It was only when the gates of Paris closed that Franco began to fight. Army corps after army corps wus raised' after Paris was invested. iGainbuttfi who escaped from tho cap. ita in a balloon on October 7, al most succeeded in wresting victory from defeat. His raids on the I'riis siiW lines of crimmmiicntioii more than once brought Von .Molt I; o to tho pojnt of retiring from Pari.

MM !itEDFOTlT)jrATT TRIBUNE, man greater harmony with supply held off the invaders until February li, 1871, afler peace was declared. Whilo Paris was starving and fighting prance put armies in the field. A little better co-operation between them might have changed history. If Gnmbettn, Chanzy and Pourbaki could have brought their raw nrniies together, if the army He znino led info HVdnn to starve had been available, victory might have been -to France or so the French hUtorinns say. Starvation more thnn arms gave Paris to the Prussians in 1870, and then, compared to today, its fortifi cations were weak. There was no ring of steel and stone around the city in 1870, no outer rings of bomb proof forts ns now. And France had not Fnglnnd at her back nor the ir resistible Itussinn bear lumbering to her aid. The siego of Paris in 1870 did not cud the war; it went on moic dcxperately after Paris closed her gates, llio co-tt of taking it then win terrific; the cost of taking it again will bu greater in direct ratio to the multiplication of men and uuus in- Ivolved. What Paris endured during the winter of 1870 may be imagined from (ho fact that day after day in tho later stages of the siego between .'J00 and -100 Itf-ccntimclcr shells dropped into tho heart of the city. A'on -Aloltko had nearly .'100 heavy siege guns around Paris. The French, ac cording to A'on Sfoltkc, had in all 2(127 pieces of artillery, including 200 of the largest caliber of naval ordnance. For each gun nt the be-, ginning of tho siego the French had .'100 rounds of ammunition. Long before tho end they had none.
