Petrograd, June 2.?From amid the
ruin3 of autrocracy the serpent of se
dition raised its head today. It
crept rapidly through the barely fin
ished groundwork of the new freedom.
It spat phillage, arson, murder. To the
tune of "down witn aumoruy it uait
ed at the throat of the capital where
a makeshift government was strug
gling hard to find its bearings. In
the throttling grip of this new reptile
of revolt, more poisonous than any
fought before, the coalition cabinet is
tonight fighting its "life and death bat
tle.
Back to Czar.
* iWhile bands of anarchists, enlivened
by the uniforms of soldier? and sail
ers, were tearing through the streets
of Petrograd flourishing rifles, revolv
ers and grenades and indulging in as
orgy of brigandage and murder; th<
telegraph brought alarming news
from far away Tiflis. There, in th<
heart of the Caucasus, the cry 01
"baick to czardom" has been raised. Ii
a flash it dawned upon the people her<
what War Minister Kerenski mean
when he said the other daj Russia war
in danger of losing not only Armenia
but also the Caucasus. All along botl
fronts the Turks have been rallying
of late.
In the wake of this news came thi
most sensational information of thi
day?Grand Duke Nicholas Nichalaie

breaks in the Caucasus could meai
"but one thing?a plot to make the ido
of the army czar, if not of Russia
then of an independent ^auciisrcu

Promptly the Petrograd authorities
turned their attention to Ttichola

j others. The decision to send the

Washington, June 1.?Five very im
' portant changes were made today b>
the senate finance committee in the
war revenue bill, which is now under
t consideration. These were:
1. An automobile tax based on the
cost of the machines and designed to
rak $42,000,000.
2. A new tax on cigars, ranging
j from $1 to $7 per hundred.
j 3. Repealing the "drawback" on su
gar on which the government paid
I $16,000,000. last year.
I 4. Exempting from taxation tickets
J to moving picture shows, costing 25
I cents and under.
| 5. Making it mandatory to reveal
when your income is $800 and over
and thus subject to taxation.
(Automobile Tax.
The automobile tax is as follows:
On machines costing not over $500.
$7:50; on machines costing $500 to
! $1,000, $10; on machines costing $1,000
j to $2,000, $15; on machines costing
I ($2,000 to $3,000, $20; on machines cost
ing more than $3,000. $25. Motor
's cycles will be taxed $2.50.
'( The tax will apply only to automo
< biles costing the prices indicated when
t brand new and will not apply to auto
j mobiles held for sale by a dealer. A
' proviso will be inserted reducing the
\ tax 10 per cent, each year for five
years on the machine you own. The
j purchaser, not the dealer, pays the
j tax to the government,
i Large Number.
!! Estimates by the committee show
I that there are about 3.650.000 pleasure
, vehicles and some 2,260.000 business
II vehicles in the country. According to

'j The man who smokes cigars costing
less than 4 cents will pay no extra
I cost. But cigars from 4 to 7 cents in
| cost pay $1 per 100 in addition to the
present tax. The other scales are:
7 to 121-2 cents. $3 ?<iditional; 121-2

Ontrol of Exports. ' !|
''It "will, of course, be impossible,",
said Mr. Hoover, "for North America!
j to furnish this quantity, although the:
major load must fall on us. In any
i event it emphasizes the necessity for
control of exports in oraer 10 couum
j prices and protect our supply and the
: necessity for conservation and elimi
J nation of waste in order to increase
j the volume of our exports."
Mr. Hoover believes the 'United
' States and Canada can export this
i year at least 600,000,000 bushels of,
grain. If the winter wheat crop im-|
i proves and the spring crop is larger
| than normal he believes this may be
! increased to 800.000,000. Shipment of
; j that much grain, much of it wheat,
' however, will force American consum
L; ers to eat less wheat than usual and
eat more of other cereals.
Coordination of Purchases. !
Coordination of allied food pur
chases will be Established as soon as
. the food bills and the export limita
: tions act beoome laws. At present the
allies and neutral countries are pur
chasing in large quantities for future
; delivery. There is no guarantee that
i sioiivpripc; will be made, as
; an uiv^ov/ \<va? > w*
this government may hold up contracts
1 to assure of an Adequate food supply
at home. The food administration as
; soon as it is created will begin to pass
on these purchases to protect Ameri
can consumers.
Mr. Hoover denied a report today
that the food" administration will buy
the country's grain crop for distribu
tion.

Mastering the Submarine
.'Indianapolis News.
' While the battle against the sub
marine has not yet been won, encour
f. aging progress has been made in the
j campaign against it. There has been
i a marked decrease in the number of
I.sinkings. For three successive weeks
. the losses have been held substan
r tially below the large figures whick
> caused so much alarm last month.
Certain it is that the hope of "bring
ing England to her knees" by Junel
> must now be abandoned, since June 1
i is now but one week away. It is un
| derstcod that the date has been ad
vanced to October !. Thus for there
is no evidence thai any new devises
have been used against the submarine.
The British admiralty, which gives
I full credit to the American contingent,

i royal road to success against u-boats.''
i The sole reliance, as far as known is :
' on "hard work and infinite pains." "It
is," we are told, "the American doc-,
J trine of keeping everlastingly at it.*',
j However, there are possibilities of,
| which, of course, little or nothng canj
! be said. It was announced yesterday:
t that Marconi had a device which the
j Italian government had already used j
: with great success against Austrian,
j submarines. Maxim also thinks that
he has discovered a way of makijjg,
vessels proof against submarine at-:
tack. Other men are working on an,
undersea merchant service on a large,
scale. "What is certain is that the1
best scientific brains in all lands are1
| working oil this problem. That being
the case, there ought to be a fair
; chance of solving it completely.
Meanwhile the war in these pests
j will go on with increasing vigor and
! efficiency. It is known that already
: the imports into Great Britain and
! France are showing the most encour
aging growth. The day of an under-,
; sea triumph for the Teutonic powers
! has at least been postponed. Per- j
haps before long it will be possible
to announce that the postponement is j
indefinite. When the ^ar is over, the
; powers of the world must, as Mr. I
j Balfour said the other day in Newi
: York, lay down such rules as will
