WELROY INSPIRES | FOUR MINUTE MEN Princeton Professor Speaks at Meeting in State Capitol Hartford, Oct. 9.—More than 100 Connecticut men and women who have enlisted as speakers in the cam- paigns conducted by the publicity | committee of the Connecticut State Council of Defense and the “Four- Minute Men” received inspiration and ammunition for future addresses when they met late yesterday afternoon at the state capitol to hear Professor Robert M. McElroy of Princeton Uni- versity, educational director of the National Security league. Professor McElroy’s address to Connecttcut war speakers had been arranged by the publicity committee of the State Coun- cil of Defence in co-operation with the National Security league. As a result of the meeting increased activity in war speaking campaigns in Connecti- cut is assured. George B. Chandler, chairman of the publicity committee presided. He pointed out that the war'will be won by the will power of the people, The development of this will power in Connecticut is the task of the de- fense council’s speakers, he sald. Professor McElroy he explained has been loaned by Princeton university to the National Security league as its educational director. Representative Government onr Trial. “This war is most vitally and most fundamentally the concern of the American people,” he said. “It be- longs to America in a very speclal sense. It is our war because it is a ‘war for the preservation of free gov- ernment, for the right of representa- tive government to develop, not only in America but throughout the world. Autocracy has failed. Representative government is on trial and the day of its test is now. This war began with the deliberate intention of Ger- many to conquer the world by arms.” “‘The dream of greater Germany,’ said the Kalser in addressing his troops in June, 1916, ‘is the dream that some day greater Germany must dominate all Europe and is the single end for which we are fightng.’” “Think of the idealistic expression in Washington’s farewell speech; in Lincoin’s first inaugural; and in the myriad other utterances of our pub- lic men. Compare them with the ideals of which Frederick, the Second, the greatest of the Hohenzollerns, wrote by way of advice to his successor to the Prussian throne, deals of ruthless- ness beyond description, one of which was, ‘No ministers at home but clerks; no ministers abroad but about 600 articles which freed from the general embargo. No LY NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1917. London advocated straight-from-the- shoulder talks, not over the heads of the audiences. She suggested a plan of speakers to accompany moving pictures. Following the meeting there was a conference of “Four Minute Men” presided over by the state chairman, Morris E. Alling. PROGRAM FOR WINTER. A series of entertainments for the coming winter months to be held under the auspices of the social com- mittee of the educational department of the Y. M. C. A. has been arranged. The entertalnments have been ar- ranged for the benefit of both mem- bers and friends. The following pro- gram is announced: October 16 “‘Quality Folks”; November 13, “The Sunbeams”; December 4, ‘“The Bever- ly Entertainers”, January 1, “The Saxonians”; and on February 26, “The Parbells”. In past years these programs of entertainments have been arranged by the association and has always been largely attended. It wasg at first decided to have the Whit- ney players head the program but as two members of this organization ‘were drafted into the service they had to cancel the arrangements. Those to take part in the “Quality Players” are as follows Miss Anna Eichborn, vielinist; Miss May Parker, mezzo- soprano and Miss Nita Cowlishaw, soprano and pianist. EMBARGO REMOVAL BOON TO COMMERGE Will Permit Export of $700,000; 000 in Merchandise Annually New York, Oct. 9.—The removal of | | the export embargo from a long lis of articles if sent to countries other than the European Neutrals and Cen tral Powers, will permit the exporta- tion without license of approximately $700,000,000 worth of merchandise per annum. An analysis by the Na- tional City bank of New York of the list of articles from which the ban is thus removed indicates that they ag- gregate approximately $750,000,000 in value in the exports of the fiscal Year 1917, and that only about 5 per cent of them went to the Euro- pPean countries to which their ex- portation is still restricted. The official announcement by the Exports Administrative Board of the merchandise which may be exported without license if sent to countries other than Norway, Sweden, Den- mark, Netherlands, Spain, Switzer- land, Greece, and the area controlled by the Central Powers enumerates are thus spies.” America knows what this last phrase means. We have had spies un- der the guise of special representatives of the Imperial German government. We would greatly prefer any other kind of vermin.” Vandals of the Soul “Representative government was born in the forests of Germany. These Prussians who have blotted out the soul of Teutonic government should be called the vandals of the soul. This is our war because that exact figures as to the aggregate ex- port value of these 600 articles can be made by reason of the fact that many of them are not named in the government’s published figures of ex- portation, but a compilation of the value of all articles in this list of which the export values are officially stated brings this known total for the while it is probable that the hundreds of articles enumerated by the board but not named in the government's fiscal year 1917 to over $700,000,000 | ideal of representative government, having vanished from the home of its birth, having lived a precarious existence in the British Isles, whither it was borne by the Saxon conquerors, has its full development in the peace- ful seclusion of the American col- onies. The old Whig regencies and the Hanovarian despots, by the man- ipulation of the Rotten Buroughs, de- stroyed the representative idea in -England. America developed and saved to the world the idea of rep- resentative government, which is now menaced again.” Professor McElroy quoted from speeches of the Kaiser and of German philosophers and teachers. He spoke of the activities of German spies in this country and referred to Von Bernstorff, the privi- leged host of ¢his country, who con- spired against the United States. He showed in his clear and forceful ad- dress that Germany is prepared for any ruthlessness which may appear to Kaiser necessary or desirable to gain his ailms. The war will never be over, he made plain, if Germany is not coriquered.” Professor McElroy then spoke of what every man not clad in khaki can do to save the world for democ- racy. There is no escape from re- sponsibility for any one. If Germany wins this war it means a reign of ter- rorism and broken treaties,” he said, and future generations of Americans will have to fight Germany. “If we | make peace with Germany without victory, glve her twenty vears and she will win the world by default,” he de- clared. “If you do not organize every state and get the whole power of the American people behind your army, we will meet disaster.” Pressing the Thought Home. A number of one-minute speeches on how the message can best be car- ried to every man, woman and child in Connecticut were called for by Mr. Chandler. Rev. Dr. H. J. White of Hartford suggested the use of the schoolhouses as the key to the situation. Professor Henry W. Farnam of New Haven said that by thorough or- ganization, sending men of national importance into every town, the con- science and will power of the peo- ple can be awakened and strengthened. Dr. Flavel 8. Luther, president of | Trinity College expressed the view | that “speakers of national reputation should visit the large places, men of | Connecticut reputation in smaller towns and men of no reputation in | the smallest towns”. He offered to | g0 to one of these smallest towns. Robert P. Butler of Hartford felt that a “flying squadron” plan would produce the best results. Rev. M. E. Alling of Rocky Hill, state chairman of the “Four Minute Men” said his organization reaches twenty-eight towns and includes 150 speakers and pledged the “Four Min- ute Men” to aid the campaign. Mrs. Rose M. Hartshorne of Newl which general embargo, biles, steel bars, steel rails, locomo- tives, published reports will easily bring the total to $750,000,000 and that fully $700,000,000 went to countries other | than those to which the exportation is still prohibited. ‘The more important of the articles the exports administrative board has thus removed from the includes automo- nails, iron under 1-8 sewing railway cars, wire, pipe, sheets and plates inch thickness, typewriters, machines and many other manufac- tures of iron and steel, also agricul- tural implements, paper, paraffin, tobacco, vegetables, dried and canned fruits, cereal preparations for table food, toys, books, and numerous other articles. ‘While it is not possible to state in exact figures the share of these var- ious articles which went last year to the countries to which exportation is still prohibited, it may be said in general terms that no more than 5 per cent., of the total value of the articles from which the ban is now removed went in the fiscal year 1917 to the European countries still on the prohibited list. Of the $120,000,000 worth of automobiles exported in the fiscal year 1916, the latest for which details of distribution are available, only $3,000,000 worth went to the prohibited area the Central Powers and the European Neutrals. Of the $15,000,000 worth of type- writers and sewing machines export- ed only about $1,500,000 went to the prohibited area; of the $18,000,000 worth of steel rails only a quarter of a million went to the area in ques- tion; of the $26,000,000 worth of agricultural implements the prohibit- ed area took about $2,000,000 worth; of the canned and dried fruits export- ed, amounting to approximately $20,- 000,000, less than $2,000,000 worth went to the prohibited area, and of | the $8,000,000 worth of railway cars the prohibited countries took about $300,000 worth. ‘The statement which follows shows the full list of articles, about 600 in number, which do not require export license except when shipped to Ger- many and her allies, or the neutral countries of Europe, Denmark, Nor- way, Sweden, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and Greece; also the value of the principal articles of this list exported in 1917, 1916 and 1914. LINCOLN ST. SCHOOL MEETING. The Parents and Teachers’ associa- tion of the Lincoln Street school will meet Wednesday evening.

INTERNAL REVENUE MAKES BOLD CLAIM Say That Cigar Manulacturers Ar¢ Making Dealers Pay The internal revenue collectors of this district, who have been making a canvass of liquor and cigar and to- bacco dealers and taking inventory of their stock, claim that cigar man- ufacturers are making the dealers pay wholly the tax on five-cent cigars, and these latter in turn are imposing the extra cost upon the consumer, that is, instecad of dividing it be- tween himself and the retailer the manufacturer has seen fit to place the burden upon the retailer. Under the new revenue act which went into effect October 4 all dealers who have over 1,000 cigars on hand must pay tax of $1 per 1,000 on the five-cent Variety. To meet this tax the manu- facturers have increased the price $3 per 1,000 cigars. This pays the tax and $2 per 1,000 extra which they Bet out of the retailer. The retailer must then sell the six for a quarter cigars for five cents straight to break even. The cigars cost him four cents and he must sell them for only five cents. The tax on the sen-cent cigars is $3 per 1,000 and the manufac- turers have increased the price exact- ly to meet that tax. The cigars sell jMow for ten cents straight instead of three for twenty-five cents. A large number of small dealers and saloonkeepers will find it difficult to pay the internal revenue tax upon ‘Zl.H forms of spirits and distilled | liquors. The law went into effect last Thursday. It raises the original tax from $1.10 on a gallon of liquor to 3.20. Dealers who have, for in- stance, ten barrels, amounting to about fifty gallons, will have to pay the government a tax of $1,000, and many saloonkeepers may find trouble in raising immediately this amount { which must be paid by October 12, | twelve days after the enactment of | the law, if they are able to pay. If they are not able to pay cash for the tax they must certify that they can- not pay, and they must file a bond of a qualified surety company for twice the amount of the tax on the day they file their inventory. They are then given thirty days leeway ’ from October 16 in which to pay the amount due the government. Dealers have already received their official in- ventory from the government collec- tors as of October 4, and they must make oath before a notary or go to the revenue collector’s office and swear to the inventory which they make, which will correspond with the government’s for its representatives have carefully ascertained the exact amount of cigars, liquor and tobacco in the country. The increase in the tax will, of necessity, raise the price of all liquors, and some of them have already jump- ed sky high. For instance a drink of whiskey which sold two weeks ago for twenty cents is now forty cents, and all whiskey will probably cost least twenty-five cents a drink within a short time. The internal revenue officers say that there is misapprehension on the part of many as to the time when the income tax must be paid the govern- ment. The report on incomes need not be made until January, and after that the limit of two months has been set. Hence a person has the 59 days between December 31 and March 1 in which to make the return. The report must be made by individuals and cor- porations alike. All wage earners may be affected vet as well as all salaried people, men and women. In paying the tax a married man is exempted in the sum of $2,000; a single man is exempted in the sum of $1,000. In making a report a person | is required to name his gross income first. He is then permitted to deduct his taxes, interest charges, repairs and like legitimate expenses. From the balance a person married may then deduct $2,000 and a single person may deduct $1,000. On the net amount thus determined a person is to be taxed next year. SHOOTS AND KILLS. After Murdering Woman in Akron, Kills Himself.
