BY TAXREVENUE Entire Amount Only Enough to Pay Nation's War Bills for Two and Half Months. WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. How the government war coffers were filled with billions In taxes, gathered from a wide variety of sources, ranging from stamps on playing cards to huge levies on excess proUs, was shown in detail today by a report on Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper to Secretary McAdoo for the year ending last June 30. . The figures are considered especially Important because they will be used by the House Wnys and Means Committee as a partial basis for higher taxen in the new revenue bill, which is to raise $8,000,000,000. Total Internal revenue for the year nmaunted to $3,694,703,000, of which $2,839,083,000 came from income and excess profits tax payments in June, and $855,619,000 from a multitude of miscellaneous sources, collected largely in pennies, dimes and quarters added to the prices of various articles paid by consumers and poured into the treasury by retailers, wholesalers or manufacturers to help meet war costs. . Not Enough to Pay Bills Huge as these taxes seem In the aggregate, collections for the entire year were only enough to pay the nation's bills for two and a half months of the war at the rate the government is now spending money. Next to income and excess-profits taxes the backbone of the revenue schedule liquor taxes brought in the most money, $443,838,000, including , $317,553,000 from whisky, brandy, wine and spirits, and $125,285,000 from beer and other fermented liquors. Taxes on cigars, cigarettes and other tobacco products yielded $156,188,000.

U. S. Transport Brings Down Foe Plane

German hydroplane captured by American transport

American transports must be on the alert for German aircraft as well as U-boats. The German plane in the photo, camouflaged to look like an American aircraft, was brought down by gunners on an American transport in the Mediterranean sea en route for a foreign port. The pilot and observer of the plane were made prisoners and the plane was taken to a base.

WAR MOTHERS PLAN REGISTRATION OF LOCAL SOLDIERS

Over eighty war mothers were present at the meeting held In the Commercial club rooms, Tuesday afternoon. Representatives from eight townships were present. Plans were made to attend the first national convention of American War Mothers which will be held next week, Aug. 15 and 16, in Indianapolis. Every War Mother whether a present member of the Richmond chapter or not, may go on record as a charter member at the meeting to be held in Indianapolis. A list of the Wayne county delegates, however, must be sent in by the secretary, so that all war mothers who expect to attend,

must send in their names to Mrs. R. P. Whisler, 113 South Fifteenth street before Aug. 10, Saturday. The Old Settlers' meeting, which will be held Saturday, Aug. 17, formed another topic of discussion at the meeting, since a request has come from the committee in charge, that the Wayne County War Mothers take part as a bpdy In the patriotic parade. Registration of the Wayne county boys who are in service in order that they may vote was again presented to the War Mothers, and plans were made to complete the work by the middle of the month.' "Twenty-five mothers with sons overseas were present, and several letters were read from the boys. Since $1,400 has been raised by the War Mothers, and the desire to knit was still so prevalent, more yarn will be ordered at once, and more socks added to the already large supply. Community dances for soldiers under the War Mother's direction will

I be continued, but a central committee

to arrange for the entertainments will be appointed by Secretary Ullman and members of the Commercial club. Miss Pound of Reid hospital presented an appeal for War Mothers to influence all girls possible to become nurses.

I took them because another in my family had used them with such good success for backache and irregular action of the kidneys. Doan's relieved me in a short time." On November 23, 1917, Mrs. Routh said: "I am always glad to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me wonderfully and I know there is no better remedy for kidney trouVtle."
