DRASTIC ORDERS
ISSUED RUSSIANS
Petrograd, May 7.—General Guerko,
commander of the western front has
issued an order declaring that the fra-
ternizing of Russian troops must be
stopped. He declares that such frater-
nizing which has become a common
practice enables the enemy to learn
the Russian military dispositions,
thereby causing a lull on the Russian
front, and leaves the Germans free
to concentrate forces against the Brit-
ish and French.
General Guerko warns the troops
that if the fighting comes to a stand-
still in France the Germans will throw
their forces against the Russians, who
lulled by promises of peace, will not
be in readiness to repel the attack. He
says that three divisions of Germans
have already been transferred from
the Russian front and that others are
following including artillery and air-
craft.
The order concludes with an ardent
appeal to the troops in the name of the
emancipation of enslaved nations to
do their duty toward Russia and her
allies.
Representatives of the Belgian and
Serbian embassies have published an
appeal to the Russians recalling the
sufffferings of their respective coun-
tries and asking the Russians not to
leave them to their fate. The council
of deputies has voted to support the
Russian “loan of freedom” by a large
majority.

Baltimore, Md., May 7.—Following
the announcement that an invention
practically had been perfected with a
view of putting an end to the subma-
rine menace, it became known here
that the inventor is a resident of this
city, and that the plans on which the
invention was founded were originated
in Baltimore after much study and
work.
The discovery was made by a Balti-
more engineer, Emil Gathmann, a
German-American. Mr. Gathmann re-
fused to discuss the invention; in fact,
would not admit he was the engineer,
but he did declare that within three or
four months there will be no subma-
rine menace. When seen, he was un-
usually happy and talked with an air
which bespoke absolute confidence.

NO WAR TAX ON
COTTON BE LEVIED
REPRESENTATIVE MOORE ABAN-
DONS HIS PROPOSAL TO COL-
LECT $2.59 A BALE.
Washington, May 7.—Representa-
tive Moore of Pennsylvania, member
of the Ways and Means Committee,
has abandoned his proposed tax on
cotton of $2.50 a bale as a war meas-
ure, which would have levied tribute
upon people of the South of more than
$25,000,000. In justification of the
proposal, Mr. Moore said the Demo-
cratic organization insists upon taxing
industries but overlooking the prod-
ucts of the soil.
The Moore amendment recalls the
tax of $15 a bale levied upon the
South in 1866, which amounted to
more than $86,000,000. That money
is still in the Federal treasury and at
every session of Congress bills are in-
troduced to have it refunded to the
people of the South.
Today the Supreme Court dismissed
a case brought by former slaves and
their descendants seeking to have the
vast sum paid to them.
