CHALONS IS AN ECHO

Sw.
Paris, Oct I.—In morn wan
one haa history repeated Itself In the
European wsr. Time and again, since
August 1, has there been notable co
incidences between the present war
and that o( 1170, the Kranco-Prussian
conflict. But la some instances, even
more ancient warn are brought to
mind by the terrlflc struggle now be

The hauls of Chalons fought In 451,
has always boon considered the blood
iest battle ever fonght on the soil of
Europe. "Savage, bugled, widespread,
dogged." Such were the adjectives
applied to It by the Gothic chronicler
Aetlus and a powerful army of Vlsl
goths under their King Theodorlc.
The rival armies met on the Plain
of Chalons, south of Marne. Attila and
his Huns chsrged the center of the
allies, pierced It, and then turned
fiercely against ths Vblgotbs, whose
king was killed by a Javelin. But the
Visigoths rallied and eventually drove
Attila back on to hb camp. There he
built that night a great pyre of the
wooden saddles of hb cavalry, deter

Ah, revenge, nature's first gift and

And It b worth recalling that Attila,

PREPARES TO HIT BOOZE
Wublngton, D. C., Oct. 8.—Liquor
would bear the heaviest burden of the
$100,000,000 war revenue tax as it Is
being revised bj the caucus of Senate
Democrats. The caucus began work
today on the finance committee’s draft
of the bill.
The first action of the caucus was to
vote an Increase in the proposed extra
tax on beer from 60 cents to 76 cents
a barrel to make the total tax $1.76 a
barrel, with a drawback of 6 per cent
for purchase of revenue stamps in
advance. The amendment urged by

Vectiflers of distilled spirits of 6 cents
a gallon also was adopted. Together
the proposed taxes on liquors would
yield an annual revenue of more than
$60,000,000.
Beer Tax Increased.
Democrats of the finance committee
had agreed to the House tax of $1.
a barrel on beer, which would yield,
60 cents over the normal tax, an added
revenue of $32,600,000 annually. The
further addition of 26 cents a barrel
by the Senate Democrats would yield
another $16,000,000. With the 6 per
cent discount for prompt payment fig
ured, the least to be derived from beer
would be approximately $46,000,000.
The proposed tax of 6 cents a gal
Ion on rectified spirits, treasury ex
perts estimate, would yield $5,000,000.
Thus the total to be derived from li
quors would be more than half the
anticipated treasury deficit caused by
the European war.
PfseuKsfons Before Vote.
When the caucus convened the first
amendment offered was by Senator
Williams to Increase the levy on beer
to $1.76 a barrel. Senator Hollis of
New Hampshire moved, as a substitute
that the tax be made $2 a barrel. This
was voted down after prolonged de
bate.
Before any vote was taken, however,
there was general discussion of the
proposed tax of 1 cent a gallon on
gasoline, the 60 cent horsepower tax
on automobile sales, and the House bill
will make a tax of $2 a thousand on
bank capital and surplus.
Numerous amendments were offered,
which were discussed In detail at the
night session.
The caucus failed to complete its
labors and recessed Just before mid
night to meet again today.
After considerable discussion
caucus struck out the automobile sales
tax which* It Is estimated would have
raised about $10,000,000.
After a two-hour discussion the cau-
voted 20 to 17 to strike from the
bill the proposed tax on gasolene. The
committee had reduced the House tax
from 2 cents to 1 cent a gallon. The
caucus then took up the proposed tax
60 cents per horsepower on man
ufacturers' sales of automobiles.

Mrs. S. E. Martin, 32 Church St
Waycross, says: ”1 had been in bed
for two months from kidney trouble.
I had sharp, piercing pains In the
small* of my back, especially when I
bent over or lifted anything. The
kidney secretions were too frequent
in passage and caused much annoy
ance. 1 had headaches and dlszy
spells and often everything before me
turned black. I was drowsy and
languid ail the time. Remedies did
me no good, and dostor’s medicine
didn't make me any better. I began
using Doan's Kidney Pills and short
ly after I was able to get out of bed.
Ry the time I had finished one box
cured. I never had any trou
ble until Just lately. Whenever i
feel that my kidneys are weak, I use
Doan’s Kidney Pills and they always
help me. Another of my family was
cured by Doan’s Kidney Pills, too.”
