People interested In t'- t'ihaci',1 market have tuceeJed ,vi.iniii the last few days In securing j 11,0 awurawc of Irrigators nd 'beads ! of t!l" son inment departments, that I w hatever relief measures are extend 1 ed to eollun growers and growers of I other commodities would be afforded j tobacco growers also. If there is spe cial lelf lation tobacco will have a share In it. If the treasury department perfects plans for assistance, the to bacco growers would be benefited as much as anybody else. The tobacco Interests will be represented at the conference which Secretary McAdoo will hold with bankers and others from Southern States. The Independent tobacco manufac turers who have been in Washington for the last two days attempting to prevent the levy of an internal reve nue tax on tobacco to raise revenue, can hardly be said to have met with the same response. C. l. Harris, for merly of Raleigh, now with a large independent tobacco firm in Louis ville, Ky is one of those who have been interviewing various members of congress and treasury department officials. Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, is openly opposed to a tax on tobacco. Mr. Har ris says he believes Commissioner Os borne is opposed to it also, but that Representative Underwood, chairman of the ways and means committee, he thinks, is for the tax. Mr. Harris says the tax would be a heavy burden on the independent manufacturer who will have to bear the greater part of the tax, while placing part of It on the consumer and a part on the man who sells the leaf. The trusts, he says, make more profit on their goods and are In a position to bear all the tax on their &oods themselves thus gaining an ad vantage In sales cn their rivals. Still, he believes the' trust people are also opposing the tax. Mr. Harris states that if the United States were at war the Independent would not he here, but would bear heir share without a murmur. As the United States is not Involved and 's tobacco has borne a great share of revenue taxes heretofore, however, he thinks other commodities should be taxed. He suggested several arti cles that could be taxed, including coca-cola, automobiles, chewing gum, theatre tickets and like articles. Appoint Delegates to Road Meet.

ALL CLASSES SEEK SERVICE Shopkeepers ' Organize Clerks Into Fighting Forces and All Are En thusiastic Over Prospect of Going to War. By HERBERT TEMPLE, European Manager of the Internation al News Service. London. Shopkeepers of London now are organising their clerks Into lighting forces. Every evening In tbe streets of the business districts may be Been companies of shop employes, earnestly drilling to be soldiers. They are getting ready to change tbe yard stick for a musket and the counter for the trench. In the big department stores, where there are many em ployes, whole regiments have been or ganlxed. In leaser establishments, companies are being formed, and where there are email stores with only a few clerks, two or three employers are putting their men together to form a company. Apparently, all of the clerks are en thusiastic over the possibility of going to war. They seem to take to the drilling with interest, and when they are being put through their paces, the streets ring with good-natured shouts and laughter. This military organization of clerka la not a haphazard movement It la being supervised by the government and the men thus enlisted will form a fifth line of defense. The companies thus formed are In addition to the thousands being recruited for the reg ular army and the military organiza tions In the various cities. From tbe appearance of the recruit ing stations, it would appear that all male England la trying to get to the fighting front. Men of all classes and degrees besiege the offices, standing half the day In long lines In the streets, sllk-hatted peers rubbing el bows with grimy laborers. Consumer Benefited. It 1b an undoubted benefit to the British consumer that war was de layed as long as possible. It did not come until the first sheaves of the borne crop were already In stack, while bo much wheat land was ripe for the harvester that a scarcity of food could be at least but a matter of days. Had war broken out In June, the matter of harvesting the grain would have been a far more serious problem. , The days when British ports held a month's supply of wheat and ample reserve of feeding stuff for stock ap pear to be paat, and' trade profits In time of peace are now so small that there la now no longer a margin for carrying charges, for paying for the warehousing. That flour and wheat have risen even slightly In price since the war scare became apparent, shows what might have been expected bad war come, when the harvest was two months off Instead o? Iwo weeks. The first but least Important Issue of tbe war Is that of the British mar kets being cut off from certain arti cles much In demand, but not absolute ly necessary. Austrian rolls have al ready disappeared from tbe dinner ta ble and the fine Hungarian flour, so much In demand for pastry has gone up 100 per cent It la doubtful If Austria-Hungary will continue to export flour, for the .wheat crop of the dual monarchy, even bad there been no war, Is very short-this year. The eastern part of the empire, that near- REFUGEE AS A STOWAWAY ' Mrs, Margaret F. K. Swift of Los Angeles, Cel., was on deck on the Holland-American steamship . Potsdam, which arrived at New York recently. Mrs, Swift, whose passage- had been booked on the steamship Imperator, was so determined to leave war-ridden Europe, when tbe sailing of the Im perator was canceled, that she resort- ad to tbe stowaway means of making room for herself aboard the Potsdam whn she discovered there was room est to the seat of war, will barely be self-supporting. The hard wheat from Servla, Bul garia and Itoumanla, also will be miss ing from England for a time, but hap pily there Is no reason to fear that con fectionery will disappear, for the chief Loudon millers and those of other Brit ish cities are now making excellent pastry flour by Hungarian processes, no longer the jealously guarded secret of the mills of Budapest Servian exports of silk cocoons, plums, prunes, cherries and liquors al ready have been stopped by the war, but such things are regarded as lux uries and the British consumers are doing without them without complaint. War is Approved. Through England, the people of ev ery . claea regard the war with one mind. They approve of It because they believe there was no honorable way for England to stay out of the con flict. Not a man but wants to go to the front and all the people, high and low, are accepting the privations of war, slight as yet but apt to become heavy before long, with great good humor and grace. Perhaps one of the most unexpected results of tbe war was tbe absolute ending of suffragette militancy. For years the BrltlBh public had been ac customed to the depredations of the "wild women" manifested . In the smashing of windows, crusades on par liament, burning of bouses, mutilation of pictures and explosion of bombs. One of the first things King George did after England declared war, was to pardon unconditionally all the suffra gette prisoners who are In the various Jails for militant offenses. The mili tants reciprocated Immediately by de claring a cessation of their violent campaign for ballot. The suffragette organizations volunteered to take charge of the work of providing for the needy women and children made de pendent by the war, and some of them volunteered to act as nurses at the front WAR SCENES IN AUSTRIA Chicago Girl Glvea a Vivid Picture of Experiences at Seat of War. War scenes In Austria are vividly described In a letter, ripped open and mutilated by military censors, which was received from a Chicago girl, Miss Lillian S. Franks, who fcs touring Eu rope, as companion to Miss Fanny Mayer, Bister of Levy Mayer, the at torney. - ' "I wonder if this letter will ever reach you," she Bays In her closing paragraph. "I am afraid It won't. Things are In such a terrible condition over here that I hardly know what to expect." "But for the time being I am safe. I have never In my life experienced such excitement. About six o'clock on July 27, while I was oh my way back to Carlsbad to rejoin Mies Mayer, our train was held up twice by hundreds of soldiers. At every railroad station soldiers were telling their wives and children good-by. It was such a sad sight! , . "Thousands of Americans are fleeing from Carlsbad, and Miss Mayer and I will endeavor to get Into Germany Im mediately. We' are In a terrible hurry to get back to America before things get any worse If Indeed they could be any worse." Tells Scene of Carnage. A corresnondent who visited at V1m fend Liege writes: "Not far ?rom the little Dutch fron tier Tillage of Mesch I passed the re mains of a big German camp. Dead soldiers, civilians, horses, wagons, carts, automobiles and bicycles lay In confusion. "Germans and Belgians lay aide by aide evidence that they were fight ing man to man. Houses had been sacked because the soldiers wished to avenge themselves on civilians who Ored upon them from windows." for no more 'on the vessel which ar rived at New York safely.
