Nearly Six Thonsand Officers
Killed and Wounded Along1
Arras front During:
the Month. .
London, May 31. British casualties,
is. published in May. show total of
5,902 officers and 106,331 men.
The British offensive on the Arras
front, involving some of the severest
lighting of the war, naturally has re
suited in a large increase in casualties
aver the inactive winter season. Cas
ualties for the last few months have
not besn received, but in February
'.he total reported was only 1,243 ofli
:ers and 17,185 men.
The assertion of the British that
their losses are SO per cent smaller
than in the battle ot the bomnie, not
withstanding the fact that larger
forces are engaged, is not borne out
by the May figures, although in tne
absence of the casualties report for
April, early in wnicn month the of
fensive was launched, the showing is
not conclusive.
The casualties recorded in the first
three months of the Somme drive
were 307,169 officers and men. In Au
gust of last year, the second month
of the Somme battle, the casualties
were 1J7.V45, as Compared with 112,
233 for May, the second month of the
Arras battle. ' .

WAR TAX ON COFFEE,
SUGARTEA, COCOA
Senate Finance Committee De
cides to Raise Eighty Mil'
lion Dollars from These
i Prodncts.
Washington, May 31. The senate
finance committee today decided to
provide in the war tax bill to raise
$80,000,000 by consumptions taxes of
2 cents a pound on coffee, S cents on
tea, cent on sugar and 3 cents on
cocoa.
Another important change agreed
upon was the elimination of the pres'
ent tax of M't per cent tax on war
munitions, now raising $25,000,000.
Substitutes for tea and toffee also
will be taxed. ' ' : '
From the new taxes the committee
estimates the following revenue bill
De raised:
Sugar. $50,000,000: coffee. $18.000..
000: tea, $3,000,000, and cocoa. $7,000.'
000. Coffee and tea taxes will be
levied upon imports. Arrangements
arc ucing mine 10 laitc care or im
port contracts made before May 1, by
requiring purchasers from importers,
instead ot tne latter, to pay the taxes
Under the house bill it was proposed
to tax coffee 1 cent a pound and tea
2 cents.
The decision to abolish the present
special tax of 12 per cent on war
munitions was said to be due to two
reasons diminishing of the tax and
imposition of increased excess profits
on all corporations which will reach
the munitions makers. While this
year' revenue from the munitions tax
was estimated . to yield $25,000,000
treasury experts told the committee
it would be much smaller next year.
Another provision adopted today by
the committee would exempt from
taxation alcohol reclaimed by refining
beer and-reducing its alcohol content
in tr making of "near beer" when
such alcohol becomes denatured for
commercial purposes.
The committee did not discuss the
proposed postal .increase on second
class publications. '

WHITE FEATHER FOR
DRAFTSLACKERS
State and Nation to . Co
operate in Effort to Run
Down Those Who At
tempt Evasion.
Slackers who deliberately try to
evade conscription by not registering
will find themselves up against a stiff
proposition.
The registration board for Omaha,
with the co-operation of the federal
government, has perfected an elabo
rate machine to deal with young meji
of the "white feather" type, between
the ages of 21 and 31, who may in
tentionally forget that June 5 is reg
istration day.
The law excepts no one within the
prescribed age limits. Rich and poor,
sick and well, fat and lean, citizens
and aliens, patriots and pacifists all
must register their names June 5 for
selective army conscription.
"Drastic" is a mild term for the
law governing punishment ot con
scription slackers. And worse than
the law is the moral disgrace.
Conscription is honorable, evasion is
dishonorable in the extreme, regis
tration officials point out, and worse
than that dangerous.
Slacker Despised.
In England men of eligible age who
attempt to evade military service are
ridiculed and despised. Patriotic
young women pin white feathers on
them and then the authorities step
in, not to molest the young women,
but to take charge of the slackers.
The day after registration June 5
conscription officials, assisted by
the city, county, state and federal au
thorities, will begin rounding up
siaeners.
"We hope there will be few slack.
ers," said Election Commissioner
Moorhead, but people may be sure
we'll corral what there are and make
it tough for them."
Round Up the Holdouts.
Registration officials have received
orders to prepare voters lists in trip.
ticate within three days after June
It is predicted that by a week after
registration day the authorities will
have a line on all young men in Doug
las county between the ages of 21
and 31 who have failed to register.
ine election commissioner has re
ceived additional instruction from
Washington which should be of par
ticular interest to. men who will be
out of the city on registration day.
These instructions advise Mr. Moor
head that traveling men, telephone
men and others who may be else
where on June 5 can fill in cards and
leave them at the court house.
More than 350 absentees and sick
person have registered so far. The
election commissioner's office was
open Memorial day. for the benefit of
these classes. About fifty registered.
The office will also be ooen Saturday
afternoon.
Volunteer Help Moorhead.
Because of the rush Mr. Moorhead
has been forced to call in volunteer
registrars .to serve in the court house
from now tilt June 5. About a dozen
registrars will be on hand to file reg-

FORT SHELLING MEN
TO GET $0 A MONTH
Salary Guaranteed from Time
They Began to Take Offi
cers' Training at Big
Military Camp.
St. Paul, May 31. Members of the
officers' reserve training camp at Fort
Snelling who have been wondering
since they began training there two
weeks ago, whether they were donat
ing .their time and services to Uncle
Sam or were to receive a salary while
fitting themselves to wear shoulder
straps, today received gladdening
news in the form of an announce
ment from Secretary of War Baker
that the army appropriation bill's
provision for a $100 a month salary
guarantees them that salary from the
time they began training.
the announcement was made in a
bulletin issued by Adjutant General
W. T. Johnson, U. S. A.
Official announcement to Colonel
Sage, commanding the camp, had not
been received up to last night, but
military officers announced that pas
sage of the measure as a part of the
appropriation bill provided the sala
ries without further congressional ac
tion. The men at Fort Snelling have
been awaiting announcemtnt of ac
tion on this measure by the army
committee of congress.
Steamship is Wrecked
By Explosion Off Maui
Honolulu, Hawaii, May 31. Two
members of the crew were killed
when the steamship Hamakua, carry
ing explosives, burned yesterday off
the island of Maui, of the Hawaiian
group, according to word received
here. The vessel was a total loss.
The ship's mate and a sailor were
reported lost, but no detail were
available. The survivors are due to
arrive here today.
The Hamakua, owned by the Inter-
Island steamship navigation com
pany of Honolulu, was built in Fair
haven, Cal., in 1908, was 646 gross
tons, 125 feet long and 38-foot beam.
George Nystrom, first officer, was
killed while directing the fighting of
the flames. Boatswain Kaiki is miss
ing ano is believed to have perished.
Captain Wychert stated the fire was
caused by an explosion, which blew
off the hatches and caused the ship
to be enveloped In flames almost im
mediately. The gasoline drums on the ship's
deck exploded shortly after, making
impossible a successful fight against
the flames. Captain Wychert said the
cause of the explosion was a mys-
istrations from absentees and sick
persons.
Mr. Moorhead wishes to correct a
mistaken impression that registrars
who serve June 5 will also be called
upon to do duty on the exemotion
board. Registrars will have nothing
whatsoever to do with exemptions.
Volunteer registrars will serve only
on June 5 at the different voting
places. After this their only duties
will be to enroll an occasional
stacker rounded up by the authori
ties. .

FINAL ARGUMENTS
IN MDRDERMYSTERY
Lawyers in Triple Killing Suit
Describe Fourth Man Who
Shot Victims From '
Ambush.
Lawyers made their final argu
menta yesterday in the $25,000 dam
age suit arising out of the sensation
al Rapp-Schroeder murder that
shocked Omaha three years ago.
A. S. Ritchie, chief counsel for the
defendants, Peter Moscrey, former
saloon keeper at 1202 South Twen
tieth street, and his bondsmen, insist
ed that the triple killing was the work
of a professional gunman who fired
upon his victims from ambush.
"Dastardly assassin, never brought
to justice." "Apache-like gunman,
with the blood of three men on his
hands," and "devilish fiend uncaught,"
were a few of the phrases applied to
the word-sketched murderer by the
saloon keeper's counsel.
Mrs. Marguerite Kapp, wisiw m
one of the slain man, is plaintiff in
the case.
Additional evidence purporting tc
show that the murder was committed
by a fourth person was introduced
yesterday morning.
Mrs. Rapp is suing on behalf ol
herself and her four young daughters,
alleging that liquor purchased in
Moscrey's place on the night of tha
murder, July 14, 1914, caused the
three men to "loiter and delay on
their way home and to become bois
terous, noisy, careless, reckless and
quarrelsome.
Shot Down in Street.
The Schroeder brothers Fred and
Peter and William Rapp, were shol
down in the -street near Twenty
fourth and Pacific streets between 10
and 11 o'clock at night.
Mrs. J. B. McBride, whose home is
about 150 feet from the scene of the
murder, testified that she beard five
shots fired. She said that afterward
she went to the Glen Hanna home
nearby, where Rapp was taken, mor.
tally wounded.
She told- the court that she heard
Rapp say "a couple of dagoc?
done it."
The court room was crowded when
the Case was resumed Thursday
morning.
- Arguments Wax Bitter.
Cross-examinations of witnesse?
were marked by bitter arguments and
wrangling between attorneys.
Judge Sears "called down" A. S
Ritchie, chief counsel for the saloon
keeper and his bondsmen, and W. A.
Slabaugh. one of the attorneys rep
resenting Mrs. Rapp.
"You gentlemen will have to qui)
trying this case across the lawyers'
table, he warned. "The case wi U be
tried before the court and the court
alone."
