' - European War is ' Affecting Income v Tax Receipts Here Fears among users of beer and tobacco that prices) of those commodities will go up with the probable increase of internal revenue taxes to offset the loss In import duties, due to the European war, have been allayed by Acting Collector Ed North of the revenue service. "It looks as If additional taxes wilt have to be levied on. beer and tobacco it the war continues." he declares. "Such step seems pecsary to make up for the great decrease in Import revenue. But taxes on beer and tobacco can be doubled ' without - havtnc any material affect, Prices per aiaua of beer or package of .tobacco would probably remain the same, although ths size, of each might be de creased somewhat.". ' .At present the tax on beer is. $1 per barrel of thirty-one gallons, and on to- lacco, 13 cents per pound.

GREED OF THE GUNS CLAIMS HOLOCAUST Eye Witnesses of Assault Upon Liege Forts Tell of Terrori of Mass Fighting. CALLED "DEATH IN HAYSTACKS" Belgian Soldier Thus Describes Way Wounded Germans Were, Piled l' n threat Heaps of Dead. (Copyright, 1914, Press Publishing Co.) LONDON. Aug. ll.-tSpeclal Cablegram to New York World and Omaha Bee.) Despatches and advices received from Belgium are unanimous In describing the repulse of 4 he Germans in their attack upon Liege on Friday as a carnage. The correspondent of The Times in a letter mailed from Brussels tells what he had learned through personal Inter- views with Germsn prisoners and, wounded men men and officers, who of both pldcs, have been brought to Brus sels. lie says that when the' German army first advanced upon Liege the officers believed that the sole task before them waathat of pouring in a continuous fire that would wipo out all . Belgian opposi tion. But with the men in the ranks the situation was otherwise. ,. The German soldiers, lie says, were J wish to be at the front . aad acaroely realized why they were there. They had already heard terrible talea of multitudes of Cossacks who were prepared to enter upon Germsny and devour It, and they were frightened at the prospect of the great war. "Incredible as It may seein," writes the Times correspondent, "these unhappy Germans sre marched straight to death almost, shoulder to shoulder The Napoleonlo tactics of the sudden ap plication of overwhelming masses of men to achieve a desired victory or reach a certain objective point seem to have In spired the German generals. Apparently they hoped to sstlsfy the greed of the Euns In the forts by a holocaust of vic tims." . - The result of thla policy, he cays, was a terrific slaughter among the closely knit ranks of the Germans. According to some accounts, the men were actually driven forward like sheep by their of ficers. ' Terror fought against discipline and death. When the mighty fusllades of the Bel gians began, ."avenues were opened up In the German ranks," writes the corres pondent. Masses of the dead began to accumulate in the zreen stretches that lay' before the fort Quoting a Belgian wounded soldier, the correspondent says: '"It waa death In haystacks." But atlll the Germans Were pressed swept clean of living beings and Its green turf waa reddened with the alsTughter of piles upon piles of the dead." A Belgian lancer, who waa wounded said to the Times correspondent: "It was tragic to see how those poor Ger mans were driven up to the guns of the forts In massed formation. They came so- reluctantly that it was obvious they came only under compulsion. They stood not five paces apart and barely fifteen paoes between the ranks, thus presenting a solid front which even a woman who bad never handled a gun, could not have ..listed. "We simply could not fail to hit them, and before our Infantry charged with bayonets, the dead lay in the fields In great heaps. From what I have been told about Port Arthur, I do not believe that even the slaughter there waa ever as great as the first attack upon Liege. "When our men charged, many of the Germans turned and ran terror-atricken. Hundreds of them were struck mlth lances and bayonets in the back as they ran. Of my own charge .1 only know that my lance a as broken as I stack it Into some Germao." t'aaada ts Fere.
