(Period Ending; August 15 1U.)
During the great battle of the Marne
salient the French aviation service once
more played a memo rs ale part. On the
flrst day of the German drive July 13.
1911 tt tons of high explosive bombs
were dropped on the enemy and during
the night 14 tons more. In the flrst eight
days and eight nights -of the battle the
total quantity amounted to 117 tons. In
the same period the French airmen de-
stroyed 171 German airplanes snd burned
2t observation balloons.
Even more valuable was the observa
tion work which kept the French com
manders well Informed of N the enemy's
movements. For example it a as the
aerial observers who Informed the staff
of the fact that the Germans were plac
ing pontoon across the Marne. In addl
tion to throwing bombs the French avia
tors fired more than 1.000000 bullets
from) She ajaajahlivl guns. The success
of tfte Fretich troops was due in large
measure' to the Cff-operatloTi of the air-
men. . i
Summing up the work of the aviation
section for the month of July a French
official report announced the following re-
sults: "One hundred and eighty-four enemy
airplanes were downed. One hundred
and fifty-four airplsnes Wei's seen falling
out of control Inside the enemy lines of
which number IS had been damaged by
the fire of our aircraft guns. Thus 33S
enemy machines were destroyed or badly
damaged.
"In addition our airplanes set on tire
49 enemy captive balloons.
"During the same month our bombard
ing squadrons in the daytime dropped 194
tons of explosives and In the nighttime
more than !( tons thus making a total
of 660 tons dropped on bridges in the
Marne valley on enemy troops that had
advanced south of the Aisne and on
railroad stations in the region of Laon
Hlrson and Bethel.
The British aerial services did eaually
well. During the year ended June 30.
1(18. enemy aircraft to the number1 of
2160 were destroyed on the western front
while royal air force units working with
the navy accounted for ill more. The

ish offensivs In Plcardy the airmen were
still more active going far behind the
German lines In raids on military object-
ives and still further" to the rear to attack
Oerman towns. Considerable attention
was paid to the German bases on tha Bel
gian coast..
RAIDS ON GERMAN CITIES. .'
In a series of 35 separate raids on Ger
man towns the British airmen attacked
the railway stations and sidings at Thion-
ville the poison factory at Mannheim
works and blast furnaces mt Urbach the
Bens chemical works and the Oebrudar
Glullnl munition factory at Mannheim;
railway factories at Off en burg the rail-
way station at Heidelberg the powder
factories at Rottwsli and Obendorf the)
furnaces at Wsdgassen and Hagendange
and the airdromes at Boulay Disuse and
Morhanse. Photosrnohs securad durlnar
and after the raids showed that these at-
tacks were effective In causing Bras and
much destruction bv axnloalonn.
" The constant attacks on Oenrmany had
a direct and rapidly growing effect upon
the German power of offense and ma-
neuver agauut French sectors of front
Th raided area contained in addition to
Its vast Betworfc of strategic railways
a very considerable number of munition
factories. Thane factories had their full
shara of attention from the) British raid-

of prisoners repatriated civilians snd
others was highly instructive. All went
to show that not only was a great and
ever Increasing amount of German
energy trained man power and war ma-
terial diverted to the defense of the
Rhine towns but that the Interruption
of wai work caused by the raids became
an increasingly icrlous problem for the
German authorities.
According to a report dated August 8
the allied aviators during a raid over
Saarbrucken encountered 40 German
fighting planes which had been with-
drawn from the front to protect German
towns.
The British aerial attacks on the Stutt-
gart and Coblens railway stations on
August 3 were reported to have been the
most terrible experienced during the
war. Many tons of bombs were dropped
large portions ot the stations were de
stroyec. and serious interruption to rail
way traffic was occasioned. The Royal
palace at Stuttgart was damaged while
at Coblens a newly built ammunition
factory was partially destroyed. All
travelers in Switzerland from across the
frontier declared that the terror of these
successive raids was increasing in the
Rhine towns and that for- Istein near
Basle the exodus of population continued
into the Interior.
The moral effect of carrying the war
in tne air into Germany was seen in the
protests of the people which wei'e given
expression in a proposal to come to an
agreement with the allies to restrict aerial
operations to the actual fighting fronts.
German air raids on Paris and towns In
England showed a decrease while allied
attacks on Germany increased. Practi
pally the only German attempt to raid
England in two months was that made
by five Zeppltns on the east coast on Au-
gust S. They were attacked by airplanes
about 40 miles from the coast' One was
shot down in flames and another was
damaged. The other three escaped. In

Associated Press Report
WASHINGTON. Best t New war

ing the civil war in the minds of most
peoDle they wiU be considered In the re
latlon to the system by whioh the war
with Spwin was financed and that of
course is because the Spanish-American
War was ot such comparatively recent
date that it Is still fresh In the minds of
most peoplo. In fact the last $16000000
of Spanish-American war debt was paid
off only a few weeks ago but that fact.
which would have been of potent interest
la times of peace passed unnoticed as it
was less than a day's cost of the present
war to the American people.
Coming as the Spanish war did after a
political change In the national admlnls-
t H..n i woo Anitf tn tw avDected that
some sweeping changes In the financial
system of the country would take place.
The panlo ot 183 had left its mark upon
tha nation's hualnaaa. and while industrial
conditions had begun to assume a brighter
aspect when President Mosuniey toon dii

a minor consideration during tne cam-
nalan of 1896. President McKinley imme
diately called for an extra session of con
gress Wltn tne ioaa OI consiaering uie
need of further revenue. This resulted In
the adoption and passage of the Dingley
bill which because it formed tne oaca-
bone of Spanish-American war revenue
must be given consideration in a uiscus
slou of that subject.
THE DINGLEY LAW.
The Dingley law was thoroughly pro
tective In its provisions and called for the
restoration ot Import duties upon many
articles which under the Wilson tariff
law of 1894. had been admitted free. On
some commodities a compromise was ef
fee ted between the duties of 1890 and
those of 1894 in a few instances the Wil
son rates were permitted to stand but In
most others the rale were greeny in
creased.
It mav be seen that a substantial In
crease in revenue was bound to result
Nevertheless the SDnnlsh wsr brought
about the necessity or an emergency In
ternal taxation and the loan act which
authorised the Issue of 8200.000.000 of
per cent bonds was supplemented by tne
war revenue bill of June 13 1898. Con-
gress also voted 8S0.OO0.0OO for national
defense this to be expended by the presi
dent free or all restrictions.
There was no need to disturb the pro
visions of the Dingley tariff bill which
In spite of the disturbed commercial con
ditions wan functioning admirably but
congress devoted Its entire attention to
the placing of new internal revenue du
ties. The feature of the war tax hill or
rather the provision which may be con
sidered a feature because of Its novelty.

. TAXE8 ON CONSUMERS.
Taxes on tobacco and fermented liquors
were doubled while banks brokers pro
prietors of theaters bowling alleys bil
Uard rooms and amusement places in gen-
eral were taxed in a special manner. A
large variety pi commercial transactions
involving the use of documents were sub
jected to a stamp tax and these stamps
were also placed upon express and freight
receipts telephone and telegraph mes-
sages insurance policies and many other
leeal and commercial papers. Duties ware
also collected through the use of stamps
upon patent and proprietary medicines
and toilet articles chewing gum and
wines. An excise duty was placed upon
the renners ot sugar ana petroleum.
During 1898 these taxes returned $170
000.000 in revenue and the amount In
creased annually until 1901 when the
total was $306800000. During the fcur
years that these taxes were In operation
the government reaiisea siosiwvu or
about one-eighth of the amount which
must be raised by internal taxation qur-
