OPPOSEDTO BOND ISSUE Wilson Urges Reve- nue Increase. NEED ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS ANNUALLY Declares Faith in Government’s Financial Gondition Must Not Be Impaired. Washington, Sept. 5.—President Wilson, iy a special “addr to the joint session of congress, asked im- position of an internal revenue tax sufficient to $100,000,000 annual- Iy because of dwindling customs reve- nues as a result of the European war. The president said the “war tax” was necessary immediately to keep the treasury unimpaired and to place it beyond public question in strength. He. emphatically said a bond issue would be unwise. . “We ought not to borrow,” he said. “We ought to resort to taxation, how- ever we may regret the necessity of putting additional temporary burdens on our people. “An emergency exists which does not brook temporizing nor delay, al- though not of our making, and we must accept the inevitable with calm judgment and unruflled spirits,” the chief executive stated. During the month of August there was, as compared with the corre- sponding month of last year, a fall- ing off of $10,f 38 in the revenues collected from customs. A continua- tion of this decrease in the same pro- portion throuzhout the current fiscal vear would probably mean a loss of customs revenues of from $60,000,000 o $100,000,000. Decrease in Importations. “I meed not tell you to what this falling off is due. part, not to the reductions viade in the customs duties, but to the great decrease in importations, and that is due to the ext extent of the industrial a by the present war in “Conditions have arisen which no man foresaw. They affect the whole world of commerce and economic pro- duction and they must be faced and 3 vould be very unwise aling with them.

It is due,.in chief , and in the par-| now find ourselves as a nation, might involve consequences of the most em- barrassing and deplorable sort, for which I, for one, would not care to be responsible. < “It would be very dangerous in the present circumstances to create a mo- ment’s doubt as to the strength and sufficiency of the treasury of the Unii- ed States, its ability to assist,” to steady and to sustain the financial operations of the country’s business. “To sell bonds would be to make a most untimely and unjustifiable de- mand on the money market, untimely because this is manifestly not the time to withdraw working capital from other uses to pay the govern- ment’s Dbills. Unjustifiable because muecessary.” OEARTH OF NEWS WORRYING ENGLISH London, Sept. 5.—There is a dis- tinct undercurrent of pessimism in the meager news that comes from the continent. - The complete isolation of Paris is considered certain in the very near future. The one fact that prevents a depressing feeling is that the allied armies are still intact. They consti- tute an dctive fighting force that al- ways must be reckoned with. And the allied army will not make the mistake of permitting itself to be cooped up in the forts. It has an open way and will take advantage of it, although the whole of France north of the Rivers Ainse, Oise, Louvre and the lower branches of the Seine are in possession of the Germans and they are moving swiftly forward. WAR TAX FIGURES - ARE NOT CORRECT Berlin, via The Hague, Sept. 5.— The German government has taken cognizance of the report that unlaw- ful tribute has been levied upon Brus- sels, Liege and other places. It was said the report that $40,000,- 000 had been demanded from Brus- sels, $10,000,000 from Liege province, $2,000,000 from Liege proper and other similar amounts from other provinces and cities was not true. “These places will have to pay a! war tax, naturally,” says the report, i “but the amount stated by sources| close to the Belgians are not correct. The exact figures have not been set.” kbbbl EAES |+ MORE BOMBS DROPPED ON E3 PARIS. % Paris, Sept. 4.—Another Ger- < man aviator flew over Paris % and dropped bombs on the #+ city.

RUSSIA ADVANGE IS RAPID Austrians Retreat- ing in_G'_aIicia. PLANS TO BOTTLE UP THE ENTIRE ARMY Russia's Intentions, if Success- ful, Would Make March- on Vienna Easy. St. Petersburg, Sept. 4.—It is stated at the war office that the entire Aus- trian army is now in grave danger of complete annihiliation. In Galicia the fighting forces are reported as almost exhausted by rea- son of the continued Russian assault and in their rear have abandoned enormous quantities of supplies, in- cluding thousands of rounds of am- munition, guns of all descriptions and hospital field equipment. The reports state that all Austrian Galicla, from the border to the San river defenses, i8 now held by the Russians. . In addition, a Russian force is oper- ating south of the Dneister river. It is stated heavy reinforcements are constantly going forward and that al- Teady the Austrian army is so far out- numbered that its effectiveness as a potent fighting force has been great- ly reduced. It is-believed to be the intention of the Russian general staff to drive the army wherever possible into the for- tifications and leave enough troops behind to bottle them up, thus mak- ing an onward march to Vienna easy. The advance of the Russians through Galicia is declared to be ex- tremely rapid. The Cossacks are sweeping the country in front of the infantry, falling back whenever strong positions are located. To the activity of the Russian cavalry much of the present’ success is due. It has deliberately violated the rules of safety.in charging intrenched Aus- trian positions,-and as a result the opposition has lost much of its force- fulness, the official reports say. GERMANS MAY PRESS ON BEYOND PARIS Paris, Sept. 5—That the Germans will not halt at Paris unless the al- lied armies give them battle in front of the city is considered certain here. The city is very nervous. There are no high governmental officials here and officials still in the city have no actual knowledge of conditions at the front. But that the Germans really are within striking distance of the outer ring of forts is indicated by the activity of Gene Gallieni. 2 He has been rushing his troops to the point of contact .all through the night and it 18 asserted every possi- ble avenue has been taken. ' Meanwhile the exodus from the city continues and with the railway line to the north and west blockaded most of the travel of necessity is toward the south. There is no doubt that the vicinity of Paris will be a real battle- ground within the next few days. The main German army is expect- ed to attempt to force the allies to give battle almost at the gates of the city. If they do not succeed then the Germans will undoubtedly press on against the French-English column, while concentrating their attack on Paris at one particular point. AUSTRIANS LEFT4,500 DEAD ON THE FIELD St. Petersburg, via Paris, Sept. 5.— An official statement by the govern- ment says: “Concerning ‘ the operations of the Russian army in Galicia, official re- ports say that the enemy is retreat- ing after desperate fighting near Ha- licz, leaving 4,500 dead on the field. The Russians took thirty-two cannon and railway material. “In the southern front of Warsaw the Austrian attack was repulsed and the offensive taken by the Russians. “By the Lemburg. capture Russia has put out of action a quarter of the total of the first line troops and cap- tured nearly a quarter of the Aus- trian artillery, besides commanding all roads leading from Galicia into Hungary.” 7 EASY VIGTORY OVER - SERVIA EXPECTED London, Sept. 5.—A dispatch to the Chronicle from Ostend says: “A tourist who has just arrived here from Budapest said: “‘There is a feeling of despair in London’s largest electric sign, re- cently erected, contains 1,000 lamps.
