JULY 5, 1914.
Whatever you may have suffered or what you will yet suffer in this war reverts back to a certain July day three years ago. A statement of the first importance now comes from Germany that it was on July 5, 1914, that the present war was definitely arranged at a council at Potsdam, at which the kaiser was present. This date recalls a speech made in the reichstag by Herr Hasse. independent socialist, whd said that the meeting of July 5, 1914, is one of the matters which 'would have to be explained before the origin of the war is fully understood. At the meeting in question there were present: The kaiser. Herr von Bethmacn-Hollweg (chancellor). Admiral von Tirpitz (minister of marine). General von Falkenhayn (minister of war). Herr von Stumm (head of the political department of the German foreign office). The Archduke Frederick (cousin of the late Emperor Francis Joseph, who took command of the Austrian forces at the outbreak of war). Count Berchtold (Austro-Hungarian foreign secretary). Count Tisza (Hungarian premier). General Conrad von Hoetzendorf (chief of the Austro-Hungarian general staff). The conferees discussed ani decided upon the main points of the ultimatum that was to be sent to Serbia eighteen' davs later, and althourh it
was Been that Russia, refusing to submit to a direct humiliation, would go to war. a result that was anticipated. Following the meeting the kaiser
aeciaea xo go to .Norway to tnrow other powers oft their euard. and a. Khnrt
time later when von Bethmann-Hollweg learned that England would not
remain neutral it was too late for Germany to withdraw. July the fifth will go down Into history as a black day in a black year just as Wilhelm will go down as the black ruler.
POLITICAL TRICKERY IX THE GUISE OF REFORM. TV " - TJ . - - ....
iiio rusi, waU;a serves as a sewer ior tne political department
c" Wall street whenever its agents 1n Gary and Chicago seek to engage in character slandering or to cover up shady purposes that tend to their own
enrichment by means of "reform" moves, denies that, any political influ
ences surround the Committee of Fifteen." Yet they do, and of the type
that are of the Capt. Kidd variety.
Adding that the "committee" is above suspicion, the Post says that any
attack on it is a reflection upon such men as Rev. Seaman, Rev. Pyatt, Father
Ryder and Secretary Dickson of the Y. M. C. A. These men would lend
respectability to any committee, but their presence on thi3 politicallyconceived board cannot change its real character. One does not see the clergymen, who have been in Gary long enough to know of the foul atmosphere of intrigue and "within the law methods," belonging to an organization that is packed with the servants of Wall street; nor does one see other members, who are cognizant of the steelized methods in vogue, remaining in the organization. Father Ryder has already got away from' the "comip.ittee." The out-of-town gentlemen who, wholly unmindful of President Wilson's plea, do not hesitate to cruelly burden the country with huge prices that they may reap blood profits, do not refrain from stooping to certain tbings in Gary. Just as they seem to consider the American people so many humans ready to be plucked, the question of their control of politics in Gary is merely the moving of pawns about on the chess board. Wall street's political agents in Gary, who have been charged with even seeking indictments of those who dare oppose their masters, are adept manipulators of reform movements, and in the past some of these have been successfully politically as well as profitable in a financially way. Now Messrs. Seaman, Pyatt and Dickson are new churchmen in Gary, and deppite the assertion of the partly brewery-owned and trust-controlled Post (beer and steel and politics get along famously well in Gary) the "Comnittee of Fifteen" did not originate with churchmen, and there are certain members on the board who fully know that they have no right to be there correcting the morals of others. Dr. Seaman, a learned clergyman and a man who has been a college president, has no little distinction as being a sincere advocate of prohibition. Yet is Dr. Seaman or Dr. Pyatt cognizant of the fact that the largest saloon in Indiana 13 on steel-owned land, maintained at the main gate of the greatest steel plant in the world? Employers see to it that the 10,000 workmen of the steel plant have every facility for getting beer or whiskey either before they enter or when they leave the mills by the process of setting aside part of their land for booze purposes and letting it for that particular purpose. And if Dr. Seaman will look about

Postoffice Protest Made Against Taxes
WASBIITOTCm, Aur. 18. A protest asalnst the committee's provision la the war tax till for a stamp tax on parcel post packages was filed yesterday hy the postoffice tie. partmeat, which contended that th tax of one cent for each 25 cents paid would Injure the parcel post and discriminate against the farmer. This year's war expenditures were esti. mated fcy Senator Curtis, of Kansas, were $18,000,000, COO. He allocated raising necessary revenue principally from Incomes, war profits and luxuries, opposing the proposed taxes on sugar ,tea, coffee and cccoa and urging a substantial federal inheritance tax on large estate. Protest against leryinj a tax of 31-10 a gallon on brand used la fortifying wines was made by Senator Fhelan, of California. He urged retention of the house rate of ten cents a gallon.

And now that Douglas Fairbanks has become a regular photographer he will no doubt have to give up acting if he wishes to "omply with tlie thousands of requests for 'sittings" that
are bound to pour in on him from his thousands of admirers. The versatile Douglas, not satisfied with his mauy other accomplishments, has taken to photography with all the enthusiasm
of the amateur and Is here shown snapping a pose of his leading lady, Eileen Percy, between scenes of his new Artcraft picture. "Down to Earth," to be released shortly
among the forty-five members of the "Committee of Fifteen" he will see on it men who have to do with the leasing of property for saloon purposes and the collections cf fat rentals therefrom, lias Dr. Seaman ever asked himself who are the men thriving off the sale of drink to workmen who buy at the steel-site saloons? As for Secretary Dick3on, late of the Panama Canal Zone, where he directed the government Y. M. C. A. work, he must recall that General Goethals never found it necessary to engage in any deals with brewery politicians and set aside choice sites near where men worked. Also, Mr. Dickson perhaps secretly abhors the hypocrisy of Wall street's viceroys who sustain a Y. M. C. A. in a less favorable location in a side street, and then permit a dispensary for beer and whiskey near the main gate, giving the saloon instead of the Y. M. C. A. the first chance at the men. He must even wonder how it is that Wall street through its bank .provides every attraction to lure the workmen into the mill gate saloon on paydays by providing the thousands of dollars necessary to cash their pay checks. And yet the same gentlemen in Gary who have to do with reform booze and politics are the same who are trying to use the "Committee of Fifteen" to eloct Wall street's "reform" candidate for mayor.
IF a few of the men who have joined home guards in some parts of Indiana will be willing to serve as privates the surplus of officers will not be too great.
NOW that two high Bteel officials, who are members of Gary's reform "Committee of Fifteen," have gone on their vacations, piloted by an amiable brewery agent, it is hard to tell just when the "committee" will resume business.
FREIGHT SERVICE
CHICAGO. Aug. 22. Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the Railroads' War Board, issues this statement: "With an Increase in equipment of only 3 per cent, the railroads of this country rendered nearly 26 pr cent more freight service in June of this year than in the same month last year. "These figures are contained in a report on freight operation which has just been received by the Commission on Car Service of the Railroads' War Board. They furnish additional proof on the vigorous and successful efforts which the railroads of this country are making to help win the war by producing greater transportation efficiency. They al?o indicate that the shippers are doing- their part, too, as freight traffic could not have been increased to such an extent without a prompt and intelligent response by the shippers to the request of the Railroads' War Board to load cars to full capacity. "The report on freight traffic for
June was compiled by the Bureau of Railway Kconornics on returns from twenty-nine railroads having a combined mileage of 125. 43 miles, or approximately half the total railroad mileage of the United States. In June, 1916. these roads gave freight service equivalent to carrying 1 5,65 0.1 9 4.737 tons of freight one mile, while for the same months this year they carried 1,6,463.318 tons one mile, an increase of 25.7 per cent. The magnitude of this achievement becomes more apparent when compared with the slight increase in equipment which the railroads were able to sstjre during the past year. "In June of last year the roads in question owned 1,24. 160 freight cart. June this year found them with only 1.284,644. an increase, of barely 3 per cent. Moreover, the number of locomotives used by them to haul freight has been increased only one-half of one per cent. Intensive car loading, plus an increase cf 13.6 per cent in the number of miles a day which the railroads have been able to make their freight cars travel, is largely responsible for the excellent freight showing for June. "The distribution of empty cars. Irrespective of ownership, into districts
where they have been moat neeaea, has also helped to increase the railroads' efficiency in handling the abnormal amount of freight that the war has produced. "Both the railroad men and the shippers are to be congratulated on the teal and skill with which they have carried out the requests of the Railroads- War Board 'to make one car do the work of two.' Intensive loading has increased the number of cars available to meet the demand? of the government and the shipping public by many thousands. Prompt loading and unloading of cars and the efforts which the railroad employes are making to keep cars out of the repair shops have also done much to facilitate the movement of freight."
