TAX BURDEN WILL
BE STILL GREATER
SAYS FITZGERALD
U. S. War Expenditures Now
23 Per Cent, of Total of
All Belligerents
Washington, Sept. 15.—Represen
tative John J. Fitzgerald, of New
Tork, chairman of the House com
mittee on appropriations,. laid be
fore the House, In a two-hour speech,
a complete analysis of the financial
situation of this country and the
other belligerents. The net result of
his address was a soleum warning to
the country that a greater burden of
taxation than any now proposed must
be expected; and to the Congress
that it must adapt a strict policy of
appropriating only actually essential
moneys. He called attention to the
fact that in this the first year of the
United States in the war, the Gov
ernment proposes to spend an
amount equal to twenty-three per
cent, of all the other governments
have expended in three years.
Mr. Fitzgerald's speech foHowed
the introduction in the House of the
big appropriation bill, carrying more
than $7,000,000, virtually every dol
lar of which is for war purposes.
This measure was increased' to-day
by amendments providing for the
Shipping Board program and the re- !
cent additions of more torpedoboat
destroyers to the naval program.
There was no opposition voiced to
any phase of the bill; in fact, 1 the
ranking Republican member of the
appropriation committee. Represen
tative Gillett, of Massachusetts, made
a brief announcement that partisan
ship had disappeared in drafting the
bill to provide the sinews of war.

Give the Soldier What He Wants

postcard bearing the name and address of the contributor. The Boldier
receiving the package agrees to send a message on the card to his un
known friend back home You get your thanks from an American
soldier in the trenches.
We have taken him from a com
fortable home and given him a trench
• —damp, cold, depressing.
We have taken him from the com
petition of business and given him
competition against every barbarian
who can pull a trigger or hurl a
bomb.
We have taken him from his family
and given htm France for a sweet
heart, and. we have sent htm 3,000
miles to find her.
We have taken away his customary
food and given him an army ration;
v.e have taken his income and given
him the rank and pay of a private
soldier.
We have taken from him the
beauty and peace and quiet of Amer
ica and given him cannonades to
deafen him, fires and gases to scorch
and stifle him and the blasted area
of No Man's Land to feast his eyes
upon. We have taken from him his
ordinary diversions, his recreations,
his pleasures, and given him over to
constant peril in order that a nation
may preserve its self-respect.
And in addition to what we have
given him in place of his past he asks
for something more—something to
comfort and refresh and strengthen
him. He asks for what will aid him
to endure his hazards and his dis
comforts, for what will lift his spirits
and cheer him after the storm. Is it
for us to argue or delate?
fJlve the Soldier What lie Sara He
Wnnta
He wants tobacco. He wuuts it to
help him forget his hardsh.ps.' He
wants it to relieve him from he ter
rible nervous shock of combat. If he
is well he wajits It to encourage htm
against to-morrow; if he is hurt he
wants it to soothe him for to-day. He
M willing to live under the gruesome
conditions which surround him; he is
willing to endure the savageness of
an unnatural enemy; he is willing to
take as a matter of fact the incredi
ble privations which must sometimes
come to htm, but he must be heart
ened for the task.

Ts it for us to question the desire
of the man who is fighting for us?
Is it for us to deny him the cheapest
and simplest of pleasures when al
ready he has sacrificed so much? Is
it for us to refuse to contribute a
trivial amount for the benefit of the
man who has mortgaged his life to
William Hohenzollern?
His day is n day of cataclysm; his
night is a night of judgment. A mil
lion times between sunrise and sun

of an inch, and he knows it. As pay

Yet as it is he asks us for so little—
and he says that no matter what we
think, no matter what any one thinks,
just now he would rather have to
bacco than anything else.

Some devil has stolen my poncho,
A hell of a thing to swipe!
It gives me a pain to sit in the rain.
Thank heaven I've got my pipe!
I'd like to be out in Kansas.
Now that the melons are ripe.
The slackers will stuff till they've
swallowed enough.
Oh, well, I. have got my pipe.
I won't never be a sergeant,
I won't neher fret a stripe,
But I'm one of the best, I'm as gjod
as the rest.
And I've got a mighty good pipe.
Oh. gee, for an evening paper.
To see all the news in type!
The one in the trench is printed In
French—
Well, anyway, here's my pipe.
The war might be over Sunday,
Or I might get winged like a snipe.
If it came to the worst some shell
might go burst
And carry away my pipe.

ECONOMY DRIVER
EXPLAINS METHOD
PCny Car Owner May Get Big
Mileage if He Will Fol
low Instructions
Many people comment on the big
mileage that Mtyavell cars obtain
in day after day performances.
There are thousands of automobile
drivers who do not understand how
the Maxwell drivers get from 20 to
50 miles on one gallon.
The Telegraph is printing the
method of economy driving as told
by D. E. J.a r kin, of Portland, Ore.,
who made more than forty-siSc mil as
on one gallon in the recent Maxwell
Liberty Bond contest.
In order to get the greatest gaso
line efficiency from a Maxwell car,
according to Larkin, is to farst keep
the motor in perfect working order.
Clean oil is necessary.
The carburetor is to be adjusted
so afe thin a mixture as possible is
obtained. The bearings should be
kept clean, free and properly lubri
cated,
Another important feature Is the
oiling of all parts of the springs.
Particular attention is .to be paid to
this as 20 per cent, greater efficiency
may be had if it is done.
Tires are to be filled to full ca
pacity, about 65 pounds pressure be
ing required.
When driving the windshield is
best tifted back so as to offer as lit
tle resistance as possible to the wind.
Brakes arc not to bo allowed to drag.
It is best to maintain a speed of
twenty miles an hour or thereabouts.
The driver in keeping the feed pres
sure even and steady assures great
er economy as fluctuation uses up
more gasoline than a steady flow.
Coasting is legitimate and is high
ly important In the saving of fuel.
Where the grade is long it is best to
shut the engine entirely off. If the
grade is short better results are had
if the engine is kept barely turning
over. The gasoline consumption is
not as great by this as It is in start
ing the engine.
Evening is- the best time to make
long drives as the gasoline lasts
longer than during the daytime
hours.
By following rules which have
proved efficient any Maxwell driver
may make big mileage. It Is neces
sary to take the best of care of a
car at all times to gain the benefits
of gasoline consumption. If tho di
rections are followed any driver will
get results that will be a surprise to
him.
