WAR IS CHANGING

Measures Never Before Dreamed of
F'assed by Congress.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, June 13. Special. So
muich can be done In the name of war
necessity that it is quite likely that our
government will be considerably chang
ed if the war lasts long. It is an old
adage that "necessity knows no law,"
but that goes double when it is a war

the driver.
The man or group of men who stand
In the way of what is declared a war

we are going to see important changes
in our methods and we will undergo
strange conditons, particularly if the
war lasts any length of time.
Even in the enactment of laws wo
have seen rather strange innovations.
arge grants of power and propositions
that have been rather startling. There
have been protests and sometimes the
legislation demanded has been defeat
ed, but a new crop of measures keeps
crowding forward, and It will be found
that we have greatly changed the char
acter of the government under the ne
cessities of war.
Too Much Garrulity.
There has been too much talk in
'higher circles." There has been too
much discussion of the motives, moves.
orders and actions of men and ships
among those who are supposed to be
exclusive" In the world of official and
social life. The spies have not been
hovering about the byways and scan
ning the newspapers for military and
naval secrets. They have been busy
in the "salons," drawing rooms and at
dining tables, listening to the tittle-tat
tle of women and men who have had
knowledge of what orders have been
issued by the departments affecting the
movement of officers, ships and troops.
Topic of Discussion.
As long as Theodore Roosevelt Is a
presidential possibility he will be a
topic of political discussion. Senator
Stone of. Missouri In his rapier-like
manner of discussion took a turn at
Roosevelt several weeks ago. Of course
he started talk, and quite a number
of the colonel's friends came to his
defense.
The main subject of contention was
n regard to what Roosevelt did before
the capture of Santiago, when he had
his rough riders with him. Stone re
turned to the charge after giving a
hearing to one of Roosevelt's captains
and printed a long extract from a book
written by a woman who was rather
unmerciful toward the colonel and his
military record. And by way of sar
castic emphasis the Missouri senator
showed that this book was largely
purchased and circulated by Charles
D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican
national committee In 1912. But Stone
did not add that Roosevelt was then
bolting the Republican nominations of
that year.
The Need of the Canal.
Congressman Frear of Wisconsin ws
making hi3 annual fight against the
river and harbor bill and hit the pro
posed lntercoastal canal. "Mr. Mad
den of Illinois," he said, "discovered
the only valid use for that lntercoastal
waterway. He says it is to take the
seasickness out of the sea."
"Called Back."
Congressman Dan Stephens "called
back" Dave Mercer for one issue of the
Congressional Record by having a
speech by Mercer printed in that or
gan of congress. The speech was de
livered on the fiftieth anniversary of
the admission of Nebraska as a state
and was replete with the history of
the state, the discovery and develop
ment of the territory from which it
was carved, etc. Dave Mercer was an
able member of congress along about
the time of the Spanish war.
Prohibition "Inching Up."
The legislation for war purposes gives
the anti-liquor people their opportunity
to further restrict the use of liquors.
It often happens, however, that the
legislation which is enacted is not what
many want. For instance, in making
it more difficult to manufacture dis
tilled spirits, but not entirely stopping
their manufacture, the Prohibitionists
Insist that the government continues
in. partnership with whisky and is mak
ing money out of it. Although making
gains, they do not get all they want.
- Causes of Delay.
"One reason -why it seemed as if we
never would complete the revenue bill,
remarked Senator Thomas of Colorado,
"was this: We would agree upon a pro
vision and give the statement to the
newspapers. Then about midnight and
continuously until morning our door
bells would ring and messenger boys
would deliver telegrams which would

buf and then would follow a pro
test against what we had done. There
ought to be a tax on messages pro
testing against the war revenue bilL
It would have raised a large sum."

TREASURY RECEIPTS
ARE ABOVE A BILLION
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR
Early Returns On $12,000,000 Cam
paign Show Generous Contributions.
Washington, June 19. The nation
wide campaign to raise a fund of one
hundred million dollars for th3 Red
Cross a in full jwir? toay, with
indications of Jro-rcus contributions
from thrountit -h country.
Campaign comvr.iUee-s from many
cities reverted to Red Cross head
quarters the raising of sums in ex
cess of the amounts allotted and had
set larger figures as goals. New York
alone reported 512,000,000 had be?n
pledged in the first twenty-four hours.
A larcre clerical force was at work re
ceiving and chalking up returns on
the big bulletin boards at headquar
ters. No attempt was made to esti
mate the total amount already donated
but Red Cross officials expressed con
fidence that the campaign would be
success.
Miss Mabel T. Boardman of the
Red Cross, today appealed to the
women of America to do their part in
the campaign. "As women we must
give quickly our share of the fund,
she said.
Washington, June 10. For the first
time in American history, ordinary
receipts of the tieasury have passed
the billion-dollar mark in a fiscal year.
The great sum has been anticipated,
however, in the plan of raising war
-revenues and it dees not r.iter the ad
ministration plans for taxation, as all
the available money from ail sources
will be needed.
Up to today the total was $1,015,
331,517, as compared. with $600,400,
C53 -a year ago today, an increase of
approximately $335,000,000.
The bulk of the huge increase is
due to increased income taxes and
earlier payments. A total of ?294,-000,27-3
has b3en collected thus far
this fiscal year. The next largest item
is from other internal revenues total
ing approximately $425,000,000, an in
crease of about $00,000,000 over last
year.
Customs receipts show a total thus
for of $217,578,-108, an increase of ap
proximately $14,200,000.
During the last twenty-four hours
approximately $41,500,000 was re
ceived at the treasury, the largest
day of the year thus far.
MAY DELAY THE
CALL FOR TROOPS
Washington, June 10. The war de
partment is considering plans to keep
the national guard of the northern
states in their home states until about
September 15.
The question of climatic etlecc oi
Fendinc them to southern comps in
the middle of summer has been raised.
This will not affect the time of calling
out the guard.
Another important phase of mili
tary matters is that the the calling
into camp of conscripts may be de
layed until October 1 or lo.
The war department cannot pro
vide all the equipment by September
1. Moreover, states like Iowa are urg
ing that it would be wise to-leave men
at home as long as possible to com
plete the season's farm work.

WOMEN PLEDGE
HOOVER SUPPORT
IN SAVING FIGHT
Washington, June 19 Heads of
the principal women's organizations
of the country, meeting here with
Herbert ' C. Hoover today, promised
their full support for the food admin
istration. About 150 societies were
lepresented.
Mr. Hoover said the success of the
food administration's plans depends
largely on the co-operation of the
country's housewives. Women, he ue
claied, are as much a part of the na
tional armv as are the men fighting
at the front.
After the women are enrolled,
bakers, butchers and members of
trades havinsr to do with food distri
Lutioh will be ashed to register for
service.

long enough Americans may be forced
to wear unstarched 'clothes to pre
serve the starch supply for food."
