Coal Bills Cause Deposit Decrease in Postal Savings Winter's coal, school books, and warm clothing for these cool mornings are probably responsible for the falling off in Postal Savings last month. The report as compiled by Assistant Postmaster Henry Deuker shows withdrawals were heavy and the deposits decreased $757. However, the deposits were $459 more than last month. Total amount credited to depositors is $11,438. Total amount deposited last month, $905. The deposits are $119 less than a year ago and withdrawals $534 more last month than a year ago.

GREAT DRIVE FOR SECOND LOAM OPENS

Four-Week Campaign on to Raise Five Billion Dollars For War. WASHINGTON. Oct. 1 The big drive for the second issue of Liberty Loan bonds began at noon today throughout the country with a multi tude of activities that will last four weeks. , The campaign is planned to raise at least $3,000,000,000 in subscriptions and treasury officials have set the "amount expected" at $5,000,000,000 Half again as large as the first Liber ty loan, the second offering is the largest the people of the United States have ever been called upon to absorb. McAdoo in Cleveland Secretary McAdoo formally opened the campaign with a speech in Cleve land, the first of many he will deliver on his tour of the United States to stimulate interest In the sale of the bonds. Clubs, chambers of commerce, commercial organizations, schools, patriotic societies and like organizations have been enlisted in the great army of "boosters" for the loan, and all over the country the publicity machine set up by the treasury department has been put in motion. Newspapers, handbills and posters of every description will advertise - the bonds and speakers on the platform and stage will assist in the great drive. Postmaster-General Burleson has ordered that between October 1 and 27, all postage stamps be canceled 1 with a stamp bearing the legend, "Back the boys in the trenches. Buy a Liberty loan bond. Inquire at any bank or postoffice." FOE TRIES TO CHECK FRESH HACK BY HAIG (By Associated Press) While the fighting front in Flanders apparently is witnessing the preparation of .nother- oIcnsNe- rtroke ybx Field Marshal: llalgfhich. th Oer-. mans are. trying to anticipate by counter attacks and retaliatory fire," the German crown prince's army again Is attempting to harrass the French In the Verdun region. Attacks by the Germans were delivered last night both east and west of the Meuse in the Verdun sector where the artillery fire has been intense for several days past. The blows were repulsed by the French defenders, Paris announces. After yesterday's three futile attempts to drive the British back from the high ground they occupy on both sides of the Ypres-Menin road in Flanders the Germans contented themselves with keeping up a heavy artillery fire during the night. Silent as to Response. London official report today records this hostile demonstration but is silent as to the British response, which. Judging from past experience is deluging the German battle zones with thousands of high explosive shells. News from the Italian front Is gainContinued On Page Twelve. THREE AERIAL RAIDERS ARE BROUGHT DOWN LONDON. Oct. 1. British air raid patrols destroyed two enemy machines and brought down another, says an official announcement, A Gotha also was believed to have been damaged. All the British machines are safe. Nine persons were killed and 42 injured in last night's air raid, it is announced officially, The air raid Sunday night the fifth within seven days accomplished nothing important for the enemy. The claim that the new "air barrage" actB as a powerful deterrent to the raiders seems to have been justified farther in the latest attack.

Vice President Marshall also presented today another lot of petitions, letters and telegrams from various organizations and individuals on the same general subject.

Everyone From Cradle to Grave t!hrft&M0W War Tax

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. The $2,700,000,000 war tax bill which is up for final action today in the house, "catches" almost everybody from the cradle to the grave and for good measure, levies a few new taxes on heirs. Baby's first dash of talcum powder will, under the two percent manufacturers tax on cosmetics, help Uncle Sam carry on the war, and after death the federal collectors will te on hand to get the inheritance tax, at advances on the present rates of from one percent on $50,000 to ten percent on $1,000,000. Between birth and death most of man's activities would be taxed, voting a proxy at a meeting of a cemetery association being one of the few specifically exempted. From Excess War Profits. Those who have profited most by the war, the recipients of enormous excess war profits will pay the most to help carr it on. Almost half the total amount of the bill, or about $1,110,000,000, Is to be collected from them. The person who writes a postal card will be caught, for cards will sell for two cents each by the provisions of the bill. Letters will be three cents. One will be taxed when he goes to a moving picture show, if the admission is over 5 cents, one tenth of the cost of the ticket. That rate will affect all who attend amusements from the man in the gallery to the one in the box. A host of the stamp taxes, designed French Class Breaks Record at College One hundred twenty beginners in French at Earlham College breaks the record of all former classes. Miss Elgia Wittwer, who is, in charge of the department, has as her assistant-John Harmany of Jerusalem who will be graduated this year. Harmany speaks the French language fluently. Many of the men in the class are taking the subject in preparation for Friends Relief Work. Several of the women are preparing for social service work in France. aggressor in such fashion that never again . will there be a repetition of wrong-doing as Germany has committed in this war. Never again must we be put in such an ignoble position as to owe our safety only to others. k Next time it may not pay other "nations to save us from the effects of our folly. Uncle Sam must hereafter prepare his strength so that he himself can guarantee his own safety against any foreign foe. ; i . . "We have gone to war because Germany had during two years, committed upon us outrages to which no selfrespecting or manly nation could en

ator and cannot be forced by an indi

vidual or organization. The first step toward official consideration of the petitions was taken today when Senator Pomerene of Ohio, chairman of the privileges and election committee, called a meeting for next Wednesday. It was decided to have the committee discuss a course of action. The present attitude of senate leaders was said to be in favor of tabling the petition in the committee. SAME HERE, ONLY MORE CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Oct. 1 The Chattanooga bar association today adopted resolutions "condemning in unmeasured terms" the acts of "Senators LaFollette. Gronna, Reed, Hardwick, Stone, Vardaman, and others actr ing with them" in their attitude toward the war and demanding "their expulsion from the American senate." to raise $30,000,000 also will get the man with little money in many ways. His greatest consolation 13 that the consumption taxes, which' would have made him pay on coffee, tea and sugar were stricken from the bill. The man of moderate means as well as the wealth, is affected by the income tax section. Normal rates have been doubled and exemption low ered to $1,000 for single persons and $2,00 for married ones. Surtaxes for incomes above $5,000 range from one to fifty percent, the maximum applying to incomes over $1,000,000. This section is expected to raise $600,000,000. Included in the taxes Imposed on manufacturers are levies of one-quarter cent a foot on motion picture films; two per cent on the sale price of chewing gum and three percent on automobiles, musical instruments and jewelry. Even drowning one's tax troribles In drink or send them up in smoke will cost more, for the levies on all kinds of drinks and tobacco Boar. The new rate on whisky Is $2.10 per gallon and beer $2.50 a barrel. Wine taxes will be doubled and even grape Juice will be taxed a cent a gallon. A person cannot escape taxes by travel. Eight percent is assessed on passenger tickets and steam tickets also pay a tax. RECEIPTS OF TAG DAY ARE $1,008 Monday at noon the Tag Day receipts for Reid Memorial Hoslptal had reached $1,008.19, and the committee in charge was gratified with the report. This was the largest amount ever made from the sale of tags. The tags were donated by the Nicholson Brothers and the only expense incurred was $1.70. Mrs. George H. Eggemeyer, chairman of the committee in charge, says she was surprised at the ready respones as there are so many other things to contribute to at this time. Body, Says dure." .
