the field, will likely continue to over
shadow all other war areas for some
day's to come. Even the London press
is devoting more space to the battles
there than to the conflict in Flanders.
This partly is due, of course, to the
fact that there has been so little
Change in the western situation, con
ditions which may persist until some
sharp turn occurs in the eastern
struggle.
Throughout Belgium the Germans
are remaining, generally speaking, on
the defensive and immediate signs of
a renewal of attempts to hack their
way to the French coast are lacking.
Some dispatches say the Germans
already have begun to fall back from |
their rear entrenchments, but as the
official statements make no mention
of this it is assumed it is only a guess j
of correspondents working on the the- :
ory that the Bussian success has been i
overwhelming and final.
King George's visit to France seems !
greatly to appeal to the popular imag- I
ination? The newspapers are featur
ing His Majesty's trip, pointing out
that it is the first time a reigning Brit
ish monarch has been with his armies
on the field for 171 years, George II j
being the last predecessor to do so.

mately 50,000 cubic yards of material j
will have to lie removed. Incidentally:
It has been pointed out that another i
chance to secure ample material for |
the completion of the treatment of |
the city's Biver Front will be available
for City Commissioner M. Harvey Tay
lor, Superintendent of Parks.
In addition to the 50,000 yards of
excavation, the job will include about
2,000 feet of sewer piping and approx- I
imately 2,500 feet of concrete. The
concrete will be used in the construc
tion of a retaining wall to extend from
the subway abutment on the east side
of Second street along Mulberry street.
This wall will support the tracks out
to the yards beyond Third street. Be
sides the placing of additional sewer
ing, another important pipe change
will be the removal of the 16-inch gas
main controlled by the Ilarrlsburg
Gas Company from Meadow Lane to
Mulberry and Second streets.
Just when the contract will be
awarded Is a matter of conjecture, but
it is understood the requirement that
April 1 shall mark the completion of
the job means an early settlement of
the award. With the steam shovels in
operation the excavations can be pro
ceeded with right through the winter,
even during snow falls, provided haul
ing is possible.
All told about forty contractors have
put in their bids for the work.

TUESDAY EVENING,
DEMOCRATIC TAX TO

offices and banks vehemently declared
their opposition to the tax. All brand
It as a scheme of the administration
to blame the results of the low tariff
on the war.
Delays on the part of the govern
ment in getting tho stamps to Harris
burg added to the troubles of tho col
lectors. Many businessmen need
stamps of certain denominations and
many were told they must wait until
to-morrow. In the meantime they 1
take chances of arrest If tl}ey sell j
goods without the stamp.
Too Few Stamp* On Hand
At the office of William S. Bricker. j
deputy revenue collector, no docu- j
mentary stamps were sold. These
stamps were turned over to the banks.
Ballroad companies, express compa
nies and business and manufacturing
firms making shipments had great dif
ficulty In getting the necessary stamps
to do business. According to Deputy
Collector Bricker, everything will bo
moving with regularity by to-morrow.
Business handled at the Federal
building was mostly for druggists,
cigar men, brewers and liquor dealers
and manufacturers. In addition to
taking care of the stamp sales, hun
dreds of telephone calls were an
swered. None of the local collectors
have the assistance of clerks and at
times the line of stamp purchasers
reached through the office doors to the
corridors.
Boer Stamps Here On Time
Until the arrival of the new beer
stamps this morning it was feared that
the local brewers would have to shut
down until stamps arrived. Deputy
1 'ollector Bricker wns in his office until
2 o'clock this morning arranging the
various denominations of stamps for
prompt handling.
Stamps sold at the Federal building
to-day varied from one-eighth of a'
cent to 23 cents each, with the excep
tion of a half-dozen fractional series
of stamps, which have been delayed in
delivery.
The war tax in effect to-day effects
men. women and children. Toilet
soaps, cosmetics, chewing gum and the

all freight and express shipments.
Railroad companies must pay for the

and telegraph messages. Here are
some of the provisions of the war
i stamp act.

cents a barrel; manufacturers con

It Will Cost Yoa More
to Phone Under the
Afew Democratic Tax
As for the tax on telephone mes
sages, S. B. Watts, local manager of
The Bell Telephone Company of Penn
sylvania, when seen this morning, told
Mow the Bell Telephone Company has
prepared to collect the tax as directed
by the government.
"The preparations for the collection
of the one cent tax on all messages
of 15 cents or over has been a big job
for the Telephone Company," said Mr.
Watts. "A special piece of mechan
ism had to be devised and placed on
many coin box telephones. This meant
changing thousands of coin box tele
phones In the system, a tremendous
job in itself. The tax of one cent is
to be inserted as directed by the op
erator in the quarter slot of the coin
box by the person who sends the mes
sage.
"Special preparations for billing
regular subscribers correctly for the
tax Imposed on their messages of 15
cents and over also had to be made.
New collection routines had to be pre
pared and new systems of accounting
worked out. The company has advised
all telephone users of the new law and
the methods put Into effect for collect
ing the tax. Notices giving full direc
tions have been placed on all public
telephones and all subscribers have
been advised by means of a circular
enclosed with their monthly bills. This
circular explains the method of mak
ing the charge for the tax and gives
a digest of the law relating to It.
"The "law applies not only to all
messages on which the rate is 15 cents
or more per message, but also to all
messages on which the total charge,
including overtime, amounts to 15
cents or more. Thus, while a single
call at the rate of 5 cents bears no
tax. should the conversation be pro
longed over a period which would
make the aggregate charge 15 cents or
more, the tax of one cent is imposed.
All telephone bills rendered during
the life of this law will Include a toll
service statement that will show those
messages on which the tax is to be
levied, together with the amount of
such tax. The law directs that this
tax shall bo collected from the person
paying for such message or conver
sation and places the responsibility
for collection upon the company."
TAX NEARLY CAUSES RIOT
New York, Dec. I.—A throng of
more than 10,000 persons stormed the
United States Internal Revenue Offi
ces In this city to-day endeavoring to
buy the new war tax stamps that have
to be affixed to many documents and
proprietary articles. Thousands who
had to wait in line for an hour or
more became so demonstrative that
extra police were called to keep them
quiet.
Collector Anderson estimated that
20,000 persons will have received the
stamps before night, ,
