Not the Fault of the Law.

Secretary McAdoo is overhasty in asking Con
gress TO amend the income tax law. The law has
not yet had a fair trial The first payments under
II have not all been made and its failure cannot be
reasonably announced just because 1t does not
promise to bring in in the first year actually ten
months instead OF year. much money the
Treasury Department experts had counted on
raising
The application Of the law for the year 1918 was
made almost farce by the multiplicity Of contra
dictory regulations and instructions issued by the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue. Nobody could
have followed the bureaus advice and made cor
rect return Of income, or one complying with the
letter and spirit OF the law. The text of the law
is somewhat Opaque, but in many respects inter
probation has confused It instead Of clarifying it,
There is more hope Of making it workable through
better construction Of its provisions than through
amending II and thus. giving the Internal Revenue
Bureau new problems 20 get muddled over.
Mr. McAdOO seems especially dissatisfied with
the returns OF income from stockholdngs made by
taxpayers That was one Of the weak points in the
form Of statement issued by the Treasury. tax

sorry OF it. as after several years hearing

THE NEW WARFARE
Why the Militants Destroy Property to
Benefit Life.
New York, June IS, 1914.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Could 1t be possible that your cor
respondent, II. Everett Russell, NJ. D..
does not know that the 'cat and mouse"
bill was passed to fit the refusal Of Mrs.
Pankhurst and her followers TO eat and
obey prison laws? They were willing to
die, but the English government is afraid
10 '1et them die" 1t would cause public
opinion to turn on the government. So
they passed a special law to fit the case
and save their faces"
The English government is assuredly In
a ridiculous position. 1t would be more
ludicrous, however, to repeal the cat
and mouse" bill than to enfranchise the
women, and the time for the latter alter
native is close at hand, thanks to the
determined efforts OF q handful OF brave
women.
II is a new kind of warfare-the de-
structlon OF property to protect and bene-
III human life. The old style is the de-
struction Of life to protect property.
Which do you prefer?

Sir: II Christianity is not responsible

quite strange that the non-ChristIan races

was being called to the fact by the
military experts in the Paris news
papers today that this battle cannot
be actually decisive. If the Germans
lose, and all of the military experts
here agree that to all intents and
purposes they are now losing, in that
they are unable to assume the Of
fensive at any point, they will retire
slowly and in good order to their next
line of defense, which is known to be
just inside of the Southern Belgian
frontier.
In the unforeseen contingency that
the allies should have to give ground
they have a secondary defense line
south of the Marine, where they in
turn would reform and continue the
fighting. Neither army can be de-
stroyed or even seriously crippled by
this greatest battle in the history of
the world, which started three weeks
ago as a rear guard action and two
days later became transformed into a
pitched battle.
Vienna, via Rome.-Because of the

Galicia, 1 only in Moravia and 8 in
Silesia.
It is also announced that extra

to stamp out the disease, that all sus-

cholera caseis reported is immediate

was reported today from both the
eastern and western line of the great
battle of the north. The German
right wing was again repulsed in an
effort to break through the line be-

heavy fighting has been in progress

The Germans are also reported to

1t is reported here that the armies

1t is the presence of so many vet

responsible for the long continued

lines and divide the allied armies, so
that the armies operating with ATras
and Amiens as bases can be isolated
and destroyed.
This operation will prove unsuc-
