world. King George v and Queen
Mary of England arrive April II Tor
a four days stay here as the state
guests OF France, and during these
four days France proposes to come to
an understanding with England. II
such thing is possible, settling once
and for all the rumors which for
some time have been going around
that England, In the event of war,
would not come to Frances assistance
unless England saw where she should
get the usual lions share of the gate
receipts. Again there is deal or
pessimism here in regard to Russia,
Frances only ally. Russia is accused
of being actually more intimate with
Germany, Frances mortal enemy,
than with France herself. What
would Russia do in the event Of war
between France and another power?
France has her doubts in this d:rec-

ment is but tentative. and IL II should

jority of the committee was for q change
In the proposed tax on domestic wines.

gallon on sweet wines. containing more
than 3 per cent Of sacchArine, and IL
cents a gallon on all other domestic
wines. The Democratic members OF the
committee agreed today to apply the tax
Of 20 cents generally upon domestic
wines. regardless OF the saccharine con-
tents with a rate Of but 5 cents a gallon
on dry wines The tax will be collected
from the seller. t

Of the committee agreed today to impose
a tax on automobiles at the rate of 50
cents per horsepower, to be collected

Of striking from the House bill the pro-
vision for a tax on bank capital and
surplus. and recommended the substitu-
ton for It as a revenue measure Of stamp
tax on negotiable instruments. The full
committee has not yet acted. upon the
recommendation made to the subcomnit-
tee, but Il IL likely to approve It in
general way. The tax proposed IL a fiat
rate upon all checks, which will probably
be 3 cents upon each check; a graduated
tax on certificates of deposit, and a
graduated tax on foreign exchange, a
BIT higher perhaps than that levied
against certificates Of deposit
