J. P. Morgan ti Co., American fiscal agents for the British Government, an nounced here the initial sale of $15,000,000 of ninety-day British Treasury bills on a &'A per cenv basis. The new plan of finan cing contemplate the offering of approxi mately J1.-..000.000 of these shnrt-erm bill every week, the total amuuntot these ob ligations outstanding at nny one time never exceeding J 1 50.000,000. The proceeds of the sale of the British Treasury bills will be used to reduce the existing demand bank loans of tho British Treasury, the total of which has varied nnci at times has, been very large. The offerings of the bills will not bo pressed In the rnnr ket, but n supply will nlways be Sn hand up to tho weekly limit set. The Morgan firm disposed of 315,000,000 yesterday in leis than nn hour, and many applications were received after tho bills had all been absorlmd It might have been possible, bankers said, to havo sold '.wo or three tinier the amount offered Tim iatc of Interest will not be fixed; next week's Issues may be slightly higher or slightly lower than G'.i per cent, depending upon market conditions. The bills will bo Issued In denominations ns low us 10000 nnd 310,000, and It Is cxp-cted that they will have wide distribution tnroucnout the country. When tho limit of $150,000,000 Is issued new offerings will not be made until the payment of maturing bills reduces the total. Tho bills aro the direct obligation of the Government of the United Kingdom of Oleat Britain nnd Ireland, nnd they ore payable. In dollars at the oince of J. P. Morgan & Co., In New York. Bankers generally commented favorably on the sale of Treasury bills anil pointed out the advantage of having the existing de mand loans of no fixed maturity converted Into short-term obligations which are so much more liquid It was said that Ben jamin Strong, Governor of the Federal Re ero Bank of New York, was very much pleased with the new financing arrange ments. While the British Treasury bills are not available for rcdlbcount at the Federal Re sen e Banks, they are acceptable as collat eral security for tho dejwjslt of Govern ment funds. The British Treasury bills have no rela tion to the advances rmde by the United States Government to the British Govern ment.

Aug 23. Germany is bringing pressure on the Netherlands with n threat to give lier no more steel for shipbuilding unless these ships nie used in Gernptn Interests during the war and for fle jears after. In addi tion, Germany has told Holland that she can have n certain allotment of coal, but If she wishes more coal she must send her own miners Into Germany for It. State Department advices today, outlin ing this new German maneuver. Indicate that the prerstire Is chiefly economic. Denmark, too, Ih under similar prcssmc ftom Germany though Its nature Is un certain. Germany apparently Is beginning to feel the pinch from the Amerlcnn embargo, nnd Is using strong-arm methods on her neigh, bora The Dutch Government Is understood to believe that shipyards must close If the German steel threat Is carried out, but the messages here do not Indicate Just how far Holland will go in opposing the Teutons.

Md Aug 23. Camp Memlo is establishing a lecord that other cantonments will have a hard time to equal. Every day for the last three weeks nH dusk has compelled the men to lay down their tools, thero have been completed to the last detail nineteen wooden barracks. Tho building of one is a task In Itself, for the structuie Is 142 feet long and forty two feet wide. Furthermore, the buildings uio erected with considerable care to with stand onslaughts of wind, rain nnd cold. In all there are to be $000 of these quar ters and they will be In readiness not many days after September 1, Camp Meade Is getting quite chesty. It now boasts of a fire department that Is the last word In efficiency and speed, A half dozen experienced fire-fighters composo the company and for apparatus they have six powerful chemical engines and any number of hand extinguishers. For some time the Government has been working on plans for separate fire companies for each group of buildings and as a consequence when the troops are finally ensconced at the camp they will be afforded ample fire protection. The guardsmen also will lend a hand In case of Hie. They will be drilled In forming bucket brigades nnd manning the engines. The problem of fire protection Is a big one, for more than 38,000 men will be quartered in the wooden buildings and at least 6000 animals. The "mosquito squad" has now turned Its attention to swatting the fly. Every morning, armed with the latest "weapons," the squad sallies forth and engages the foe. Casualties are tremendous, it Is said, for the squad Is as ruthless as uny com mander of a U-boat. $55,000 SCHUYLKILL HAVEN FIRE CAUSED BY LIGHTNING Factory Struck With Loss of $25,000.

Including one report that the Germans have taken tho city of Riga, ftom which an nssault can be di rected sgaliist Petrograd, were widely cir culated here today. They were unconfirmed from any official source, but caused deep concern, nevertheless, when taken In con nection with reports that Von Hindenburg had launched the greatest offensive of the war In the north against the demoralised Russian armies. Officials made no effort to disguise their fears that the general situation In Russia Is again very serious. It was admitted that the dispatches from Ambassador Francis rontalned both political and military Infor mation of the utmost Importance. The State Department Is withholding the Infor mation contained In these dispatches, and Secretary Lansing has declined to discuss the Russian situation nt this time Secretary Lansing nnd Secretary of War iiauer new n long conference this morning. It was admitted that the Russian situation was frely discussed. Information regard ing tho meeting was refused by both offi cials. Tho report that Russia lias asked for both Japanese and United States troops was again widely current here today. The Russian embassy this afternoon stated that It had been unable to recure con firmation or denial of the rumor that the Germans have taken Rlgn. In this connec tion an embassy official said- "We arc utterly without information on this point. However, even It Riga should have fallen to the Gerninns It would not bo considered here ns a very great dlbastcr. Certainly It would not have tho effect of causing Russia to sue for peace. Rather It would stiffen resistance." Officials at the embassy, commenting on the reports that Amerlcnn and Japanese troops would be asked for, expressed doubt that this was true, "Russia liss more men than she needs," thoy said, "ond has plenty of ammunition nnd abundance of food and fuel, but Is short of transpoit. Railroad equipment Is needed badly and ships to carry It across the ocean from the United States. That Is our great Immediate problem " Riga Is one of tho most Important Rus sian ports on the Baltic SeR. and If reports of Its capture are true It would mean thut the city could bo used as a base for com bined lnnd and i-ca operations against Petrograd. Riga lies 320 mlleR southwest of Petrograd, with which It Is connected by a direct railway line The capture of Riga would give the Ger mans :i great strategical advantage for an cni'lrclliig movement against the Russians holding the Uvlna River line nnd n suc cessful drive eastwnrd from that point would probably mean the evacuation of Dvlnsk, which the Russians have been using as a base. When Von Hindenburg made his great drive through Poland and Cour land In the summer of 115, the advance came to a halt In front of the Dvlna fortress Kor weeks the great Get man strategist tried to captuie Dvlnsk. but nil his efforts resulted In failure The great guns of the Germans could not batter unipenlng for the Infantry to cioss the river, with the lesult that the Teutons finally gave up and settled down to tiencli warfare on the western fringe of marshes which skirt the city on Its western side. Another Important lesult of the capture of Riga is that It means the breaking of tho Russian hold upon the coast Just ns the Allies In their latest drive In west Flanders have been trying to shake the German hold on tho North Sea. Riga lies on the Gulf of Riga, an Inlet of the Baltic, nnd Is 100 miles northwest of DvIn,t ft WISH EXTORTION CASE JURY DISCHARGED BY COURT AGAIN REFUSES P. R.RS CLAIMS TO BOND FUND Judge Dickinson Reaflirms De cision Denying Plea for Nearly $2,000,000 Deposited With Court Failed to Find Verdict in Trial of Strike Organizer Accused of Demanding Cash The jury In tho trial of Robert Walsh, a strike organizer for the International Mulders' Union, on charges of extorting money from Gouverueur Cadwalader, sec retary and treasurer of the Cressnn-Morrls Company, was discharged todav by Judge Rogers In Quarter Sessions Court after It had deliberated for several hours yesterday and failed to nrrlvo at a verdict. It Is thought that Walsh will ba given a retrial at the September term. Upon mo tion of Walsh's counsel. Judge Rogers said he would consider a request for the reduc tion of Walsh's ball, which K now $2000. Walsh Is charged with having taken $G00 from Mr. Cadwalader in return for his promise to call off a strike ut the Cresson Morrla plant. While he was talking with Cadwalader, detectives, who had been In the next room, arrested htm. Walsh declared that ho had been made the victim of a "frame-up," asserting that he had not accepted the money. Rob Three Homes in Gcrmantown Germantowu police today reported to Superintendent of Police Robinson several robberies which have occurred within the last week In the vicinity of 6400 Wayne avenue, Germantowu. The victims were all away on their vacations when the robberies occurred. The homes of W. H. Stone. S400 Wayne avenue; John Hubbs, 5404 Wayne avenue, and Frank O Shane, E410 Wayne avenue, were ransacked. Tho losses were small. Reaffirming his decision of several months 1 ago, Judge Dickinson today denied two clnlms presented bylhe Pennsylvania Rail road Company to win back n fund of nearly $2,000,000 which It had been obliged to deposit In the treasury of the Fofltral Court to pay bondholders of the Pennsylvania Canal Company, one of Its subsidiaries JtidffB Dickinson's decision sustained the opinion of the special master In tho case, who hud already disallowed both claims. The first of the two claims made by the railroad as the holder of detached interest, coupons from the canal company's bonds, with a face value of $3,110,400, ngalnst which a credit of $826,045.97, derived from the sale of the canal company's property by the railroad under foreclosure proceedings, left a claim of $2,590,354.03. Tho second claim, based on the face valuo of 17,280 In terest coupons attached to 384 bonds pur chased by the railroad from canal bond holders, would, with the Interest on tho bonds from maturity, also have been suffi cient to regain tne fund, which now amounts to 11,023,408.10. Judge Dickinson held that to allow either of these claims would be to make n lullng Inconsistent with the one he handed down previously, In which he held that tho loss suffered by the bondholders of the canal company when It was unable to meet Its bonds nt maturity was due to tlm failure of the railroad company to malntnln a sink ing fund under the terms of n mortgage under which the bonds were Issued In 1870. Labor Chief Assails High War Profits i -- Continued from Pose One cous task to win the war for justice, free dom and democracy, the world over. In recognition of the unusual conditions attending war production, In my opinion the r.ito of taxation upon war profits should be brought down to nearly normal peace profits, and surely the history of Industry of the United States demonstrates the fact that those profits are not niggardly to cntei prise nnd wealth. It Is my judgment that It would be ex tremely unwise for our Government to rni'-o all the revenue of this war for democracy and humanity through borrowing nnd moit gaglng the future. Under the borrowing principle afo loans aro made to the Gov ernment, for which full compensation Is guaranteed. Interest on loans and often loans them selves must be repaid by taxation levied upon the people and which, of course, fall inoro heavily upon tho poor than upon tho wealthy. By taxation on war pioflts. Incomes and Inheritances, our country can In large part meet me expenses ot mo war as we pro ceed with that great enterprise. The American labor movement has of ficially Indorsed the principle of taxation of war profits Indeed. Uio Justification of the principle cannot bo questioned. In de fense of tho principles of this republic the Government has the right to nrk the service of the citizens of the countiy and to ute for defensive purposes all of the resources of the country. WASHINGTON. Aug 23. Senate leadets opposed to the piopotal to place the chief tax burden of the war upon great Incomes and war profits today opened a great counter-offensive. In the Scnata Senator Simmons said: "That class of people In this, lountrv not in sympathy with the war demand we pay the bill for war by taxation. They are exceedingly sensitUe about placing a dollar of the burden upon fututo generations. Their consciences nre punctured to tho core at the suggestion that fifty years from now men may have to bear a share ot the cost. "If jou want to make this war revenue bill unpopular; if you want to make this war Itself unpopular with tho people of bmall and moderate Incomes, ou can do It very effectually by adopting the La Folletle amendment." Simmons analyzed La Follette's late of Increasing Income tn'xes. In an effort to show that the La Follette plan Is "an In genious scheme for lifting (he bin dm from the big Incomes and placing It on moderate ones." Ho said I..i l-'ollette's amendment would forco the man with an Income between $0000 and $6000 a year to pay twenty time as much, in propoitlon to his Income, as the $S0n000hOSe "U'0me S belwee" '60-000 and "He would place suilax of but 4 4 FOOT and LEG TROUBLES Quickly relieved by our apeelnl arch nun port fitted mid ad Jutted bv expert. tlur Seamless KUatlo Hoalery thu most comfortable "upport for vnrleoKa fUH, ee ulcers, swollen limbs, weak Mieea nnd nnklrn. turers or .leformltv fppllnnr.. inbe' w'rM I'lllLADKUHIA OI(Tlllin:i)() Clj;r,a' 4B .North 13th Street 'VsBl L Hupftortt-is Ladies' ShirtWaisls Best quality; whlta and colors. 1 to $6 Special Value Also full lino of ladies', thildren's and men's hose.

That Is not a Jargc Income. He has dealt much more leniently with Incomes nbovo $30,000 than with those between $5000 and $30,000." La Folletle, replying to Simmons, said 360 of the country's leading economists signed a petition urging Congress to pay for the war by taxation. "Theso men, who have given their lives to the study of finance," said La Toilette, "are entitled to respectful consideration from tho Senate without being put under tho charge by the Senator from North Carolina that they are disloyal, I know many of them and not ono of them was opposed to this country's war on Germans'. "I might retaliate. I might say that devotion to this Government Ih not meas ured by devotion to big Incomes and big war profits. The Senator from North Caro lina was so tender about the men who havo incomes of $60,000, He might have saved some of his tenderness for the people from whom his bill will wring $S4,000,000 through taxes on tea, coffee nnd sugar "Ho might have reserved some of his ex pressions of grief for tho people who must pay $70,000,000 on the tax on freight or those who must pay $60,000,000 by putting a three-rent stamp Instead of two-cent stamp on r letter." Senator Trammcll, of Florida, said that the nation, having demanded that Its young men give up their means of livelihood to go and fight, "must not allow wealth to be exempt from Its proper share of the bur den," Senator Vnrdamnn, of Mississippi, termed the La Kollette amendment "a good law In peaco time and n very good law In war."
