 Meanwhile Villa activities are being watched with considerable interest. Ac- cording to official information Villa has ordered general withdrawal toward Juarez, the purpose apparently being to transfer his forces to Sonora. The Villa agency here emphatically contradicted re- ports that the mobilization of Villa troops at Juarez had any sinister aspect with respect to returns with the United States. AS a precaution, however. Act ing Secretary. of War Breckenridge, after conference with President Wilson, or dered the Seventh infantry and the Fourth Field artillery regiments from Galveston to strengthen the garrison at Fl Paso

 The chancellor estimated that the new tax on war profits will yield f30,000,000 in the full year. Including the income tax the new assessment works out at 50 per cent of the profits.
 Mir. McKenna said that simultaneously with the increase in the sugar duty to 9s 4d per hundredweight the royal commis- sion on sugar supplies would reduce the prices to refineries by sod to 36d. The net effect would be an increase of 6s per hundredweight, or 1h penny pound. The will produce additional revenue of f5,360, GOO this year and s11,700OoO in the full year.
 Imported LVxuries
 The 50 per cent increase in the duty on tea is expected to yield an increase in the full, year of 94,50O,000; in tobacco. a5,1oo0Oo. Beer and spirits remain un- touched. The necessity of keeping down expenditures in imported luxuries twas emphasized by the proposal to double the duty on patent medicines. Imposition of a duty of 3s 1-3 per cent ad valorem, or it's equivalent in weight. on automobiles, moving picture films, clocks, watches, mu- sical instruments, plate glass and hats will yield in the full year about f1,95000O. of which automobiles will contribute e1, 100000 films, 9400,0O0
 The proposed changes in postal charges will bring in G1,975,0O0. Saying that the country would start the new financial year of 1916-17 with dead weight of debt of a2,2O0, 100000, the chancellor esti- mated the revenue for next year at f3S7.- 100000
 We have trebled our debt and doubled our taxes,' he added. s'If the war con tinues these proposals cannot be our last word Our great resource is the continued willingness of the people to bear theii share"
 Fiscal theories must go by the board MT. McKenna declared The chancellor was actuated by the twofold principle ol raising additional forces and enforcing economy on all classes by means of tax ation.

 am confident that if the proposed taxes
 are assented to by the House they will be accepted by the country"
 MT. McKenna said the revenue for the
 current year would be f272 100000 and the expenditure 91590, ,000,000
 Referring to the gigantic total of ex- penditures the chancellor said the navy
 was costing sf190, ,000000 and the army
 E715, 00000. The country also had to bear
 external advances amounting to 9423, ,000,-
 GOO. The total daily rate of expenditure
 would be upwards of 94,50O, GOO, and in the
 latter part of the year might rise to
 s5,0O0.000.
 Ordinary services, he said, absorbed f170, 000, 900, excluding the army and navy but including provisions for the national debt.
 Temporary Tax Proposed He pointed out it was necessary to imposes a tax for this purpose, purely temporary, without regard to the per- manent effect on trade. Consideration must be given to rates of the foreign exchange and imports must be re- stricted
 ports, reduce consumption and bring revenur," he continued, i've shall have found an ideal fiscal system" The main standby of Mir. McKenna was the income tax. He proposed, he said, to add 40 per cent to the existing income tax ,rate. combined With inn proved machinery for assessing em- ployes and relieving cases in which there had been falling off in income of more than 10 per cent. In addition to reducing the exemption limit from E160 to f130 far-reaching alteration was proposed permitting payments by half yearly installments. For employees of all descriptions both the assessment and the collection are to be quarterly. The effect of these changes for the present year, the chancellor estimated. will be to bring in f11,2T4,000 and for the full fiscal year fS7 100000. The super tax is to be increased on l incomes of fS000 and over from 34 pence to 42 pence per pound. This will produce in the current year additional revenues of f2,150,O00. War Profits Taxed It was proposed to introduce spe- cial tax on profits which had increased during the war. Fifty per cent of the proceeds above the amount assessed | for the income tax last year will be subject to the tax
 The chancellor dwelt on the sums the super tax income will bring in. The man with an income of f20,00O, he 1 pointed out. will pay f6029 income tax l and super tax of virtually six shil-
