By Gilson Gardner WASHINGTON, Aug. 12—Con- gress will be obliged to remain in | session to meet emergencies which are likely to arise in consequence of the Buropean war. One of the most certain, ff not pressing, of these emergencies will be the re-establishment of govern- | ment revenues. Tariff dutios furnish the greater part of the money on which the federal government does business. But tariff duties depend on im- ports. Stop imports and the tariff revenues stop. These receipts at the customs houses have been av- eraging over a million dollars a day. Need Billion a Year Almost a8 much revenue is add- led by the {nternal taxes, namely thous on tobacco, snuff, brews and liquors, million dollars a day go on despite the war, | Supplementing these two sources of revenue are the corporation and income tax, producing about 85 or }40 million a year and a few miscel- larfous revenues.

In the treasury offices there are at the present time in gold coin, $80, $45,926.08; !n standard silver there are $22,395,111.97. This is in addition to the gold Teserve of $150,000,000, reserved against the United States notes and the treasury notes of 1890. These together aggregate approximately $348,000,000. In case congress finds it necessary to provide new reve- nuee to replace the Interrupted tariff revenues, several will be considered. | erease in the percentage levied on incomes, particularly the greater Incomes, would be an e way to add to federal revenues.

NEWSPAPERS CUT DOWN THEIR SIZE LONDON, Aug. 11.—With the “biggest story” in history at their front doors, newspapers in Paris and London may be forced to sus- pend before they can print it. Tho supply of paper is very lim- ited. Paris papers now print but two pages in small sizes and have cut out the margins in order to hus- band their resources. In London, the great Times has cut from 14 to six pages and other papers have reduced cordingly. All advertising has disappeared. The house you want is ad- vertised in STAR WANT ADS. U.S. WOMEN AS WAR NURSES Mrs, Potter Palmer, the fa- mous Chicago society leader, and Mrs. Francis Carolan, daughter of Mrs George M.

HER TINY KINGDOM IS FOOTBALL OF WAR Matie: of Luxemburg A girl of 20 rules the tiny prin- eipality which has become a foot- ball of war. Marie Adelaide, grand duchess of Luxemburg, may lose her kingdom in the clash of great powers. Luxemburg covers but 998 square miles, wedged in between Germany, France and Bel- sium. tt is the gap through which the nations will try to send their armies. It has been assured of independence, but it is predicted that probable partisanship for the kaiser, if he is defeated, will de- stroy its independence. RUSSIANS TAKE | MANY PRISONERS ST.
