ECONOMIC FORCE OF ALLIES IS TO BE CENTRALIZED

Applies Principles of Military Command to Raw Material, Food and Finished Products WASHINGTON. Oct. S The longplanned centralized control of all the economic forces of the nations fighting Germany la at last a fact. It applies the principles of the unified military command to raw materials, manufactured products, shipping, finance, food and the export and Import relations of the United States and the co-belligerents. The great plan was worked out by President Wilson's so-called war cabinet and the allied missions. It has been approved by the president and the premiers of the entente nations. No announcement of its consummation has been made herein fact. It has rather been withheld from publicity. Some of Its details and the fact that it actually Is in operation have become known through developments In Paris and London. Have Unified Program. - Co-ordination of effort by the associated governments in addition to military and naval activity amounting to centralized control Is build around the five Interallied councils war, shipping, munitions, food and finance. Under these special bodies completion of a common economic and Industrial program is now being undertaken, principally in London and Paris, and limited to the following cases: Where two or more governments are interested in supplies which must be transported overseas to supplement deficiencies in local production; or where several sources of supplies should be agreed upon, together with the allotment and method of their distribution or utilization; or where there might without agreement be competition between governments in procuring supplies or a wasteful duplication of productive effort. To Handle All War Materials. The committees will deal directly with virtually all materials and commodities for the prosecution of the war. These include nitrates, tungsten and tin, international pooling agreements for which have recetly been effected in Paris and London; nonferrous metals, Iron and steel, hides and leather, rubber, wool and all other raw materials or manufactured products of which there may be a shortage, or where competitive and shipping conditions and the local production and distribution situation make desirable. Pooling agreements for these latter will be effected as the necessity arises. The committees will be responsible to the five interallied councils. Focd control already has been centered in London, following Food Administrator Hoover's recent visit abroad to attend the interallied food conference in London. One of the rerults of his trip was the perfection of the president's plan for centralized control and its acceptance by England, France and Italy. . LEWISBURG, 0. Mr. and Mrs. C. V.

FIVE STATES GAVE TWO-THIRDS TAXES COLLECTED BY U. S. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3- Five states. New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Massachusetts, furnished nearly two-thirds of the taxes' collected by the government during the fiscal year ending last June 30. Of the $3,694,703,334 collected in federal taxes, these states gave $2,282,000.000. 'or 61 per cent., and of the $2,839,083,585 gathered from income and excess profits taxes, the principal source of revenue, these states supplied $1,868,000,000 or 65 per cent. From miscellaneous taxes $855,619,748 was collected In the whole country. New York paid $839,378,000, of which $689,265,000 was Income and excess profits taxes, or 22 per cent of the entire nation's collections. This was largely due to the fact that many corporations with their plants scattered through the country reported earnings from their New York headquarters. Income and excess profits taxes in 1918 were7.9 times greater than income taxes in 1917. A table of collections from these sources by states in the two years shows that West Virginia Jumped from $1,921,000 to $45,549,000, an increase of nearly 24 times proportionately greater than any other state. Utah stood lowest in the record of gains with a litle less than twice the 1917 amount. New York, which showed 36 per cent of the total income taxes in 1917, reported only 24 per cent, this year. Pennsylvania collected 11.8 times as much in 1918 as in 1917. Illinois showed a gain of 10.5 times, Ohio 11 times and Massachusetts 8.2 times. Southern states with a few exceptions reported gains exceeding the average for the whole country. Red Cross Notes Many inquiries have come into the Red Cross rooms concerning Christmas boxes which may be sent to the soldiers overseas, and in answer to those questions the headquarters have issued the following statement: The war department wishes each man to receive only one parcel of standard size and weight. To carry out this plan, the army authorities are distributing Christmas parcel labels to men abroad who will mail them to their relatives and friends. No parcel will be accepted for mailing by any postoffice unless it carries a label received from a man abroad. A few days ago it was announced that Red Cross chapters would provide cartons in which these Christmas parcels could be sent abroad, but these cartons will not be ready for distribution to local chapters until the latter part of October, which, according to advices from our national headquarters will give ample time for parels to reach their destination by December 25th. The above statement was issued by the department of publicity of the Lake Division of the American Red Cross and all persons interested in the sending of these parcels should heed this notice, as it may be regarded as authentic. The surgical dressing department of the Richmond workshop of the Red Cross will be open for workers on next Monday. Women are urged to come so that the quota may be finish ed as soon as possible. The election of officers for the Whitewater branch of the Wayne county chapter of the Red Cross will be held Oct. 4. Y. M. C. A. NEWS A large membership campaign for the Y. M. C. A. is being planned this week, and will be launched some time this month, stated Secretary Brunson Thursday morning. Since they do not wish to do anything which would hinder the Liberty loan campaign no effort will be made to secure new members until after the Wayne county quota has been subscribed. "We want you to help us make this best season yet in the history of the Hi-Y club," says the promotion committee of boys in the letter they have issued to all the sophomore, junior and senior boys of high school Thursday, inviting them to the Hi-Y banquet Monday evening. Tickets for this may be obtained by the ten members of the committee, which include Russell Crabb, Albert Chrow, Frank Crowe, Robert Giles, John Lemon, Floyd Nusbaum, Ralph Motley, Harold Sinex, Sidney Watt and Marion Zuttermeister.

PEOPLES OPPRESSED BY GERMANY UNITE TO GAIN FREEDOM

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON,' Oct. 3. With the view of erecting a , barrier against German political, military and economic aggression in the Near East representatives of eight of the nationalities extending from the Baltic to the Adriatic and including a population estimated at 65,000,000 persons who have Buffered from German and Austrian domination met here today to create a federation for the promotion of their common interests. The nationalities reported were Finns, Lithuanians, Poles, Czecho-Slovaks, Ukrainians, Roumanians, Jugo Slavs and Italian Irredentists. The aim" of the federation it was stated . is the ' co-ordination of their peoples both in Europe and in the United States for the prosecution, of the American and allied war alms and to prepare for the application of the self-determination of nations according to principles laid down by President Wilson. "The magnitude of the strength of this federation has been little realized" said Prof. H. A. Miller of Oberlin college, a speaker at the meeting. "Its strength lies in its numbers, its purpose and its strategic position-. Its numbers 65,000,000 people are almost equal - to the total number of Germans in Germany and Austria. The purpose is one of the most romantic in all history. The accumulative will to be free and self-determining is a conflagration no power on earth can quence. The strategic position is an absolute check to German aggression in the east." HOARDED SUGAR IS CONFISCATED "W. H. Gilbert, Federal Food Administrator for Wayne county, received information through government officials that Mrs. Francis Fender, a lady of considerable wealth and good standing of Centerville, Ind, had been hoarding sugar. It was necessary for the food administrator to make an investigation of the property and he discovered in the neighborhood of seventy pounds of sugar. This was reported to the government officials, and after going over the matter carefully the government decided to penalize her to the extent of $250 as well as confiscate the sugar to be sold to some dealer of that town, the proceeds of both to be given to the Red Cross society of Centerville.

PARIS, Oct. 3 Lace making has always been one of the chief industries of Belgium and many of those who lived by it are among the refugees who have left their country, some 9 koo of the 40.000 lace makers being now in France and free Belgium. They have met with great difficulties in which the aueen of the Belgians has been one of their greatest aids. The American Red Cross has now given a sum of 100,000 francs, or some $20,000 to be used as capital for supplying the peasant lace-makers with the necessary raw material. The industry is to be formed into a co-operative society and the Red Cross donation will provide a share of the stock for each worker. The scheme will insure a fair price for their lace as well as a share in the profits from the ultimate sale of it By disposing of the lace through an official committee the lace makers will also be saved from exploitation by middlemen.

Georgia Candidate Had a Good Time, Even if He Was Defeated in Race ATLANTA. Oa, Oct 3 Although defeated for county commissioner in the recent primary, John Wilson ajK parently is quite happy he met a lot of people, made many friends, and on the whole it was a paying proposition.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, at a small cost. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking' one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and atractive. Wyeth's .Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.
