AVIATORS IN PISTOL DUEL AMONG CLOUDS German Tells of Bravery and Dar ing of British After Scout ing Trip RUMANIA READY FOR WAR Strong Sentiment in Favor of Rus sia May Cause the Govern ment to Act By Associated Press Berlin, Sept. 8, via London, Sept. 9, 8 A. M.—Sergeant Major Werner of the aviation corps returned to-day from the front after making repeated scouting flights over the French and British troops. Speaking of his expe riences he took the opportunity to pay a tribute to the valor, bravery and daring of the British troops. He de scribed as his most thrilling flight, one In which he battled with two aero planes of the enemy, one a British bi plane and the other a French mono plane. Both were much faster than his machine which was old and bat tered. "My two enemies flew beside and ebout me for a long time,'' he said. *'X expected momentarily that they would throw bombs but apparently they had none. Both of them tired re volvers repeatedly in my direction and I replied with my revolver, but none of the shots were effective. After an anxious quarter of an hour I drew them toward the German lines and they were compelled to withdraw." Wires Are Silent The wires were silent to-day and there was no important news from either the eastern or western fronts, but the quiet is probably only a pre liminary to events of great import ance. All eyes here are turned east ward to the hard pressed Austrian army in Galicia where the importance of administrating a check to the Rus sian Invading army appears quite as great from a general point of view as the vigorous pursuit of the French campaign. The Cologne Gazette dorresponden* reports from Montmedy in the French department of the Meuse, 22 miles southeast of Sedan, that German trains are already running into France as far as that place. The German engi neers are building a railway line around the city and French prisoners are being employed in clearing the railway tunnels. The death of two military aviators, Lieutenant Count Uexkull and volun teer Raymond Arthur Breton is an nounced. Dispatches to the Cologne Gazette from Bucharest report that there is ;i strong sentiment in favor of Russia throughout Rumania. The dispatches suggest that the popular sentiment is so strong that it is likely to force the government to act. Rumania has 200,000 troops ready for war. 3,000,000 Men Engaged in Death Struggle on French Soil Near Paris London, Sept. 9, 10.06 A. M.—lf in spiration means to the French soldiers what it did in the time of the First Napoleon, the situation to-day on the allies center, on the historic field of Chalons should offer compensiation for a disheartening month of rear guard actions. At any rate the allies, now superior or at least equal in numbers to the Germans, evidently have begun the of fensive. At least 3,000,000 men are engaged on both sides, and as the center of the allies lies on the plains of Chalons, true to many prophesies, another Ar mageddon may take place where At tila surnamed the "scourge of God" we 'lefeated by the allied Visigoths and Romans in the bloodiest battle in the world's history. On these plains i centuries later. Napoleon conducted the most brilliant defensive campaign of his wireer. The French soldier* will not be allowed to forget also that on this field a French army fought a victorious action after its commander had surrendered his sword. Logically a great and decisive battle j ought to be under way from Paris to \ Yerdune, but the veil of secreev and I the meagerness of the official com munications preclude positive predic tions regarding the nature of the en gagement proceeding in the eastern war theater. News from Austria indicates that the dual monarchy is in grave danger of internal troubles while her military situation is daily becoming worse. Germans Plead With Jews For Assistance London.

The great, unwieldy and bankrupt empire, drag ged reluctantly at the heels of Ger many. \§ in a State of desperate mud dle and fear.

WILL AGAIN HAVE HIS HAT IN TUG Colonel, Speaking French, Told That in Pennsylvania He Is Dutch New Orleans. Sept. 9.—During his tour through the sugar belt district of yesterday Theodore Roosevelt practically announced that he will be a candidate for the presi dency. His pronunciamento was made at a conference of Bull Moose leaders at New Iberia. There it had been de cided in a stormy convention to choose John M. Parker as the Progressive candidate for Governor. Colonel Roosevelt said: "We will need John M. Parker to run with me as our vice-presidential nominee. Had T been elected before he would have been the first man called to my Cabinet." Throughout the sugar belt Colonel Roosevelt was introduced as "our next President." He made more than a dozen talks and one set speech. In all of them he attacked the tariff on sugar, rapped the Republicans and criticised the Democrats. Through a part of the district he rode a white horse at the head of 200 Rough Riders. At several of his stops Colonel Roosevelt noticed that the ma jority of his audience as composed of French. He then tried to make his speech in French, but admitted that his handling of the language was "rotten." "Mes amis." the Colonel would shout. "Je regret due je no parle pas bien le Francais." The crowd would shout back: "Vive Monsieur Roosevelt! Monsieur the next President!" At his New Iberia, meeting the Colonel had to divide the time with a big Frenchman who Insisted on being heard. This is what the Colonel had to listen to: "Yas. thta iss all right. Monsieur talks to us now in French and is glad to be one of us; him, yes. We are his amis and he wants us to vote for him. yes. Back up there in Pennsyl vania, up there in the North—how about that, heh? Don't he suppose we know he tell the Pennsylvania Dutch the same thing, heh? He was proud up there of his Dutch ancestry, yes, him. He does not say nothing about that here, no. Maybe the war is the reason, heh?" HUNTS ICE CO.

The purpose of the proposed cor poration was stated by Oliver Lent*, one of the organizers, to be the unit ing of the ice consumers of Harris burg to secure a reduction of the ice price in this city to a basic rate of two dollars per ton, instead of four dol lars per ton, the rate now prevailing in this city. Tells of Heading Co. Joseph R. Dickenson, of Berks county, attorney for the Merchants Ice Company of Reading, described the growth of that company from its inception in 1910, as a plant producing fifty tons per day to Its present con dition as an enlarged and improved plant producing 200 tons dally. This Plant paid C per cent, dividends the first year, has paid 8 per cent, since, and showed a net profit in 1913, after paying all expenses, of 34.8 per cent.

Urged That Second Dock Shall Be Placed at Foot of Broad Street or Somewhere in That Locality Above are two etchings showing the coal dock on tne river wall at Paxton street. This is a concrete wharf scheme where large quantities of coal will be delivered from the river operations. It is now proposed to put another such wharf from a point south of the Market street bridge northward almost to the bridge at Walnut street. There is much opposi tion to this plan since it seems to be entirely unnecessary and will spoil the general wall treatment in the center of the city. It is alleged that some provision in the John Harris grant makes neces sary the keeping open of a wharf at this point, but It is urged by those who regret the installation of another wharf so close to the one at Paxton street that it will be an easy matter to overcome the provision of the Har ris grant by a simple driveway to the river without the unsightly dock scheme. It is stated that if the necessity exists for a second coal dock it should be placed at the foot of Broad street or elsewhere in that locality owing to the large amount of coaf that Is de livered from the river at that point. TAXING OUR PEOPLE TO BENEFIT EUROPE Revenues Under Underwood Law $30,000,000 Short; "War Tax" Necessary Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Sept. 9.—lmports to I the I'nitcd States uniler the operations 'of the present tariff law for ten ! months, to July 31, increased $102,- ; 475.621, according to a table of the j Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com j merce. In the same period, as shown j by figures from the same source, du ties paid on imports decreased $30,- 1770,000, which is more than 30 per ■ cent, of the deficiency which the Ad , ministration, preparing to levy special | taxes, attributes to the European war. j A gain in imports, it was pointed ! out by manufacturers, was to be ex- I pected under the lower duties im ! posed by the Underwood bill, but, said a producer of worsteds: "We did not j look for any such decreased revenue jas would necessitate taxation above I that provided by the income tax law. "Had a deficiency occurred under | duties such as were levied by the Payne-Aldrich bill, it was asserted, we j would have the satisfaction of having produced in our mills, with American | labor, a larger part of the manufac itures accounted for in the increase ;of more than $100,000,000 in imports. Ar. the matter stands, we have not made the goods, our work people do not get the wages, and we are more than $30,000,000 short In revenue, which is to be made up by further taxing our people. This is charged to the war account." An "Amazing Ejpnise" William T. Tllden, president of the Union League and president of the William T. Tllden Company, Inc., yes terday described the revenue defi ciency as an amazing expense. "If the President was sincere,' he said, "he was fooling himself when he at tributed this remarkable deficiency of more than $30,000,000 to anything di rectly or indirectly pertaining to the war. "The previous tariff,' he continued, "not only provided a large revenue, but what was more important, put even larger sums in the hands of the peo ple to spend as they saw fit." "Not only has the income through the customs house to the government grown less, but in addition there is an even more serious situation, in the reduction of the purchasing power of the people. I "It has always seemed to me strange that the American voters, to a man, could not comprehend the fact that the man who sent merchandise to this country paid the duty—not the American people. It is so easy to learn, for the reason that whenever the United States reduces duty, the foreigner immediately secures higher prices for his goods. "The President, good man as he is," added Mr. Tllden, "always has been a theorist. A theorist, to be use r ful. must at the same time be prac tical. Unfortunately, he has never been willing to listen attentively to the opinions of such citizens as knew from experience about the problems which he has been compelled to con front He has not only run riot him self in connection with theories, but through the patronage of his high office he has apparently forced his party in Congress—in both houses— to follow those theories, willy nilly. "Every dollar of decrease of In come must necessarily be made up by taxation of our own people, inasmuch as the customs house Is the only place where we can tax the foreigner." said, they paid no dividends, turning entire profits to surplus.
