In a fortv-flvc-pHge opinion made pub

Court, absolves the Cunard, Company

when peace terms are made.
Relatives of victims of the lusltania's
sinking and survivors of that disaster
had sued the company for damages ag

panv had applied for a ruling on Its
lliblllty, contending that under the na
tions inirltlme laws It could not be
held responsible for more than the value
of the cargo and baggage of passengers
Judge Mayer found the ship was not
armed, that she can led no explosives
and that her destruction was a willful
act of piracy . for which the German
Government alone must be held respon
sible He pointed out tint there was no
negligence on the part of the hlp s
officers and tint there was no panic dur

This is the first time that an Amerii.an

Closing Week of the Biggest
Sale in the History of This
Foremost Furniture Store
TfiiL JdIvAjLo I ugust sale we have ever neld, and deservedly so,
because we have presented the largest, most varied and beau
tiful stock and reduced our prices to the point where they
represent savings not equalled, not even approached elsewhere.
So tremendous was our reserve stock that dispite the heavy, rapid selling of
the past three weeks, our floors are still fully stocked, for our vast storage houses
have met the daily demand for replenishment and, aided by constant incoming
shipments (and our own output), promise to meet it until the very last.
Yes, in this closing week, you will find here, as thousands of people have
already found, the most extensive, complete and interesting collection of furniture
ever assembled under one roof. Final reductions have been made; the inevitable
accumulation of odd pieces and unreplaceable suites have been marked down to
close-out prices and we remind you, this is the first of the five final days of oppor
tunity opportunity for saving perhaps not to be duplicated for an indefinite 'time.

URGES HIGHER INCOME TAX
:y McAdoo 'Wants Larger Rate on
Unearned Moneys
By the Associated Press
Wmnlitntton, AUB. 26 Secretary McAdoo,-
In conference today with Chair
man Kltchtn, of the House Ways and
Means Committee, renewed his recom
jnend&tion that a higher tax be levied
on unearned than on earned Incomes as
a means of encouraging Bale of tax-free
Government sccuritle..
The Secretary pointed out that If the
revenue bill is not enacted by Septem
ber 28, the opening date of the fourth
Liberty Loan, the loan may be some
what hamnerd because business men
t iwill not know definitely what their tax
, burdens are to be. For this reason the
:' establishment of a different rate on

Red Cross Base in Switzerland'
Anticipating the problems which
arise as a result of American partici
pation in the war. and knowing that
Americau piUoneis would have to be
clothed and fed tluotiRh an American
relief committee, the Red Cross estab
lished a babe In Switzerland and ap
pointed Ellis Lorlnc Dresel, formerly
a voluntary attache of tha American
embassy in Berlin, to dliect the work.
Dresel. a retired Boston banker, was
a hard-worklne, capable, efficient ad
ministrator who had been helping of
ficials of the American legation in
Berne since the United States had be
come an enemy of Germany. Dresel's
tnsk was to get food and supplies into
Switzerland In such quantities as to be
able to care for any number of Ameri
can soldiery who might bo selected by
Fate to live the life of a "prisoner of
war. No one could supply him wltn
figures; no one could tell lilm how
many men we would send to France,
and there- was no way to tell what
proportion of them might be captured.
The misfortunes of war do not follow
known formulas. V,
Dresel had often inspected German
prison camps' for Ambassador Gerald
and he knew, at least, what the needs
of our men would be. He had visited
virtually all important German camp
before diplomatic relations were
broken. He knew the good points and
the defects of the Britiuh and French
systems of relief. He had all the
quallflcatlonswhlch a man in his po
sition would need, but he could only
speculate as to the number of men he
would have to caro for and the time
when aid would be necessary.

Dresel began with a stenographer,
a code book and a head full of plans
He decided to be ready, within 'the
shortest ' possible time, to feed and
clothe. If necessary, 10,000 Americans,
He ordered food through the American
