of the two-million-dollar Lincoln me-
mortal, in accordance with the plans or
the Lincoln memorial commission. will
be postponed until the opening OF the

secure approval by Congress of the site
and design for the memorial favored by
the commission.
The site selected is in Potomac Park
and the design is that submitted by
Architect Bacon. as improved By sus-
gestions from members Of the commits
sion and further consideration and study
by himself.
Views at Variance.
An attempt may be made at that time
to change the form OF the memorial
Some members of Congress think a road
from the National Capital to Gettysburg
battlefield the appropriate memorial to
the martyred President. while others ad-
vocate the building of a bridge across
the Potomac from Potomac Park to
Arlington National cemetery.
Other suggestions have come from in.
dividual senator's. and they will probably
be advanced at the same time.
The commissions plans will be urged i'm
both houses Of Congress by the members
of the commission itself, as the commits
sion is chiefly composed of members Of
the Senate and the House.

WHAT NEW YORK TRAINS DO.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-What enor-
nous demands are made upon the car
rying capacity of the various subway
and elevated lines of New York, es-
pecially upon certain extraordinary
occasions, is hard to realize. To those
living in smaller cities it may seem
incredible that the transportation lines
Of any city should convey one mil
lion passengers in one day. Yet, one
million passengers day would mean
but slim business for the subway and
elevated lines of Manhattan. On one
day of the week before Christmas
fully 2,500,O0O passengers were trans
ported over the subway and elevated
lines of the city. The subway carried
about 100000, the elevated abou.
100000. This number, of course, due
to the Christmas shopping, was es-
ceeded but once, at the Hudson-F Full

u. STAGE TO
FACE WITH TAX WAR
Many Nations Protesting in Effort to Force the
81 United States to Admit Their Wood Pulp
and Print Paper Free Of Duty
Western Press.

western PfeSs.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 30
The United States is face to face
with the most serious tax war In
its history. Austria and Denmark
have added their protest to those OF
Germany, Sweden and Norway, in an
effort to compel this government to
admit their wood pulp and print paper
free of duty on terms of equality
with the product of Canada.
In an interview Representative
Rucker of Colorado, said: THE ac-
ton of these governments, in demand
ing equal rights with Canada, has put
the United States in position where
no compromise can be effected. We
must either yield to their demands
or we must refuse If we refuse the
biggest tariff war we ever had will
result"
In diplomatic circles it is believed
that the administration delay in act
ing on Germany's protest, made some
weeks ago, is due to an effort to find
means by which it can gracefully yield
to the pressure brought by the Amer
lean wood pulp and print paper manu-
facturers and terminate the agree
ment with Canada. Germany has al
ready directly charged the United
States with violation Of the agree
ment made with that nation in Feb
ruary, 1910.

the celebration will undoubtedly be
somewhat less boisterous and the clos

possible against saloons, but the

earnest support Of Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, Burton of Ohio and
Crawford of South Dakota, to beg
the president that steps be taken to
organize an International committee
with power to carry its campaign into
every country of consequence on the
globe. The function ofsthis commit
tee as outlined therefore by the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
of Science will be: First to gather
available facts as to the changes in
wages and cost Of living throughout
the world, and to make international
comparisons. Second, to secure evil
dence as to the main cause of these
changes and of the international dif-
ferences. Third, to devise possible
remedies. Fourth, to ascertain the
purchasing power of the monetary
unit in the different countries. Fifth,
to determine the purchasing power
OF wages in the different countries.
Sixth, to ascertain the reasons for the
fall and rise Of the purchasing power
OF the monetary units. Seventh, to
