BILLION MARK IS PASSED BY LIBERTY LOAN Unofficial Figures Are Much Higher Thau Those He ported by U. S. Dy Associated Press Washington, Oct. 17.—A1l indica tions to-day are that subscriptions to the Second Liberty Loan have passed the one billion-dollar mark. Official figures compiled last night showed only $528,000,000 reported to Federal reserve banks, but later semiofficial returns and estimates made to ;he Treasury Department demonstrated that the official fig ures were far too low. * In some quarters it is thought that the bond sules have passed $1,200,- 000,000. It is probable, however, that slightly more than $1,000,000,- 000 is nearer correct. Ncxv York's unofficial estimate to day was $413,000,000 or $106,000,000 more than its official report showed, while the Chicago district claimed at least $200,000,000 or $164,000,000 more than its official figures. Esti mates of other districts are: Phila delphia, $90,000,000; Boston. SSS,- 000.000; Cleveland. $75,000,000: Richmond. $45,000,000; St. Louis, $40,000,000; San Francisco, $32,000,- 000; Kansas City. $25,000,000; Min neapolis, $16,000,000; Atlanta, $15,- 000,000; Dallas, $12,000,000 Assuming that these figures are approximately correct, about $400,- 000,000 a day must be raised be tween now and the close of the cam paign, October 27, if the $5,000,000- 000 goal is to be reached.

One comes also | to realize that when the American I soldiers assume the offensive there i will lie back of them the necessary weeks and months of distinctly . American training. Have I.earned Much There is much to be learned from the experience of the French and much from the British, and possibly something from the known training policy of Germany herself. But, gen erally speaking, the methods to be employed with the American soldiers must remain or become clearly our own. Different temperaments re quire different methods. The train ing the first American contingent has had With French divisions has been invaluable. The instruction they now are getting in various special ties from British officers and men will equally leave its impress on the entire American Army. But as British methods differ from the French, so American methods must differ in many details from either the British or the French. The longer the American officers study problems of war in close proximity to the firing line, however, the more they are convinced that the general principles governing martial combat remain unchanged in their essence. Special Training This war has developed special features which involve special phases of training, but the fundamental ideas enunciated in the pre-war drill regulations, small arms firing man unls, field service regulations and other service manuals, appear more and more to remain the guide for both officers and soldiers and to con stitute standards by which their ef ficiency is to be measyred. There have been modifications, of course, and there will be more be fore the war has ended. Methods of application constantly are changing and improvements of all sorts con stantly are being carried out. But the effort for the higher training of the officers is being directed just now toward assuring the younger charges more recently arrived from America that it will not be necessary for them to "scrap" in Europe the general principles of warfare they learned in the United States. To Use CoUI Stcc! As a concrete illustration of their line of reasoning, the training offi cers point out the fact that, notwith standing all the bombs and grenades invented and employed during the three years of the European war the rifle itself and its bayonet remain the principal weapons of the infantry soldier. Consequently, it is pro posed that the American infantry men shall be trained to a high de gree of skill as a marksman, both on the target ranges and in field fir ing. while at the same time an ag gressive spirit will be developed in him until he feels himself as a bayo net fighter Invincible in battle. Get at Foe Although troops are used in mass in this war as never before the American commanders are endeavor ing to preserve ir. their men the spirit of American initiative and American self reliance. They will impress upon the men that each one of them has a personal responsibil ity in the war and must himself get at the foe if it is humanly possible for him so to do. As the masnitude of the task be fore them becomes more evident, as actual war comes gradually nearer and rearer to the reality, officers and soldiers alike of the American ex peditionary force realize that at no time in our history has discipline been so important.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH RUSSIAN CROWD MOBS LEADERS OF REVOLUTION Korniloff Supporters Barely Escape With Lives in Demonstration By Associated Press Pctrograd. Oct. 17.—The generals arrested for participating in the Kor niloff uprising, on their departure from Berditchev, province of Kiev, on* October 10, were compelled to walk three miles to the railroad station, while they were jeered, pelted with missiles and threatened by a mob of several thousand persons. The offi cers barely escaped alive through the strategy of a member of the cadet guard who started the train out of the station as it was being tired upon by the mob. according to reports which have just arrived here. The prisoners were brought from the guardhouse at 8 o'clock n the eve ning to where motor cars, surrounded by a hostile crowd, were waiting. The thirty-six cadets who formed the guard, had difficulty In standing off the mob which demanded that the generals be surrendered to them for summary punishment. The mob re fused to permit the prisoners to ride in the automobiles and insisted that they walk the longest possiUle route to the station through the principal streets. The mob followed, throwing sticks and stones. The procession was stopped at each street lamp to pro long the baiting, while the crowd shouted, "Kill them! Kill the trai tors!" General Arloft was struck in the eye by a missile while General Vanoufsky's spine was injured seri ously. When the prisoners arrived at the station the mob demanded that they be put in a convict car instead of the coaches prepared for them. The guard "impromised on the baggage car, but the mob still refused to permit the train to depart. The situation be came menacing and when the mob opened fire on the train one of the cadet guard ordered the engineer to pull out quickly. Austria's Desire For Peace Leads Empire to Hit at Michaelis London, Oct. 17. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung. of Berlin. as quoted in an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Amsterdam, says that Count Czernin. Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, recently requested the German Chan cellor. Doctor Michaelis, to state Ger many's peace terms, urging that Ger many make concessions In the west. Count Czernin received a vague reply, whereupon he stated that he could no longer negotiate with Doctor Mich aelis, inasmuch as the Chancellor made vague statements when clear ness and frankness were imperatively necessary. These statements of the Tages Zeitung are not denied, the dispatch says, and have made a great sensa tion, being particularly illustrative of the fervent desire for peace on the part of Austria. SCHOOL LESSON ON WAR Harrisburg sc hoolchildren nre be- 1 Ing given lessons on the world war with the object of developing a deep er spirit of, patriotism. Superinten dent Downes ban requested the teachers to read each lesson which has been prepared by the school mo bilization committee, and the pupils will be encouraged to talk the mat ter over at home. The lesson on "Raising: Money by Taxes" follows: Governments obtain money for the extraordinary expenses of war in two ways: First, by taxing: the people: and secondly, by borrowing from those who have, money to spare. Let us look to-day at the first method. A tax is a specified portion of a person's properly or income which he is compelled to give to his gov ernment The citizen may or may not be willing to make the payment, but the government will take it from him if he refuses to pay. Ordinarily the taxes collected by the national government of the United States do not bear heavily upon any person. The war tax bill, however, which was signed by President Wilson on October 3, provides for the collection of about $2,500,000,000 within a year, or nearly $25 for every man, woman and child in the Country. Of course, not every one will pay this much, ami some persons will pay much more. For it is a principle of taxation that every one shall be taxed in pro portion to his property and income. The wealthy will pav large amounts, while the poor will pay little. Some facts concerning these new taxes will be interesting to us. A large amount of all the new tax es will come from persons and cor porations who are engaged in the manufacture of munitions of war: because it Is agreed by all that per sons who make a profit out of tho war should be compelled to give up a STATUS OF MEN INDUCTED IS UNDETERMINED State Headquarters Does Not Have Any Ruling 011 Calling of Men A peculiar situation involving the district exemption board of the sec ond Middle Judicial District and the United States government has arisen through inducting D. W. Witmer, of Lemoyne into the service. Witmer is an employe of the Penn sylvania liailroafl and several days ago with other men was summoned to appear at the local recruiting sa tion to be sworn into the service. This induction was in keeping with the intention of the government to send skilled mechanics to France to supervise and direct the big engineer ing projects that are being carried out. Witmer is a registered man in District No. 1 of Cumberland county. He was cailet) for examination and passed. He filed a claim for ex emption on the ground of a depen dent wife. This was disallowed by the local board, but on an appeal to the district board the claim was al lowed and Witmer was given a dis charge. At the state draft headquarters to day Colonel Frank Sweeney stated that there had been no ruling on this question. He was not certain if the dischaige of the district board would hold, in face of the calling by the government. The discharges granted by the local and district boards are of a temporary nature, and may be rescinded at any moment. No spe cific time has been allotted to the duration of a discharge. It is pos sible that the action of the district board, which is acquainted with the facts and saw lit to grant the dis charge, may have some influence on the action of the government in in ducting men who have already been called and granted exemption. Wash ington has not informed the state headquarters just what will be done in a situation of this kind. The lo calizing of the incident, however, may bring information to the local office, for the benefit of some of the inducted men who have claims for exemption. 2,711 Colored Men The state draft headquarters an nounced to-day that so far reports from 178 districts throughout the state show that 2,711 negroes will be ready October 27 to report for Camps Meade, Liee and Sherman. Ninety-six of these men will come from the Steel con District No. 1 of Dauphin county. Of the 2,711 men. 1,654 will be Kent to Camp Meade, 921 to Camp l.ee and 136 to Camp Sherman. There will be a negro regiment in each camp in the coun try. The stale headquarters also stated that there will be no contin gent of white men sent away before the negroes. It had previously been stated that the white men would leave on or near the nineteenth. The departure of the selected colored men will start, on October 27 and will be finished in five days. A demonstra tion in honor of the Colored men who will leave Dauphin county is being arranged. The date has not been set owing to the uncertainty of the time of departui-e. Nothing has been heard regarding the order to examine all the men registered. Allow One Out of 12 On the second day of its session the district board acted on the claims of the men fvom Columbia No. 1, York No. 2, Cumberland Nos. 1 and 2, and several of the claims from Dau phin county. The majority of these claims were disallowed, and the ratio was one allowed out of twelve. The Steelton board has issued the red tickets to the colored men of that district, ordering them to re port to that board on Friday, Octo ber 26, at 9 o'clock. The board has not received any specific orders other than to have the men ready to leave on or within fi\ e days of the twenty seventh. The Paxtang board met this after noon and acted on several claims for exemption. Several claims of this board were acted on this afternoon by the district board. MRS.

Welling ton Deibler and Mrs. William Haw thorn/ large part of thteir war-proflts to the government. Another large amount of taxes will come from incomes. Any unmarried person having an income of more than SI,OOO, and any married per son with an income of more than $2,000, will have to pay a part of bis income to the government. The greater bis income, the gteater tlio proportion he must give up. Thus, a married man with an Income of $4,- 000 will pay I per cent of his total income: with an income of SIO,OOO, he will pay 3V& per cent, of his in come. and with an income of SIOO,- 000, his tax will bo 16 per cent, of his Income. Incomes and war-profits will fur-j nish the great bulk of the new taxes: ] but there are many other taxes which will soon be apparent to all of :is. AfteV November 2, every letter put into the mat! will require 3 cents In stead of 2 (except letters sent with in the city limits); every postcard, 2 cents, instead of 1. Taxes will bo laid on railroad tickets, Pullman and sleeping-car tickets, telegraph mes sages, telephone calls costing 15 cents or more, and theater tickets. Higher taxes will be placed on to bacco and liquors, upon corporations and partnerships, and upon many other forms of production or service. Some of these taxes will bear heav ily upon the people of our country. Put we are ready and willing to pay them, because we know: (1) That this tax bill is the most just tax! measure that our Congress has ever passed: (2) that this money Is abso lutely needed to equip our armies: (3) tbat only with a thoroughly equipped army can we help over throw the Herman military govern-] ment, which has committed such awful crimes, and which now threat ens the liberties of our nation.
