afternoon on the American side of
the international bridge, in the i'm.

ments that the conference would not
have the power to decide the future
movements of the American troops in
Mexico and that there would not be
an immediate withdrawal OF the ex-
pedition. Scott viii advise obregon
that Washington has refused to con-
sent to a discussion Of withdrawal.

Obregon said he would report the
whole situation to Carranza. 1t was
indicated that the failure Of the con-
ference would result In further di-
plomatic exchanges and not in mill

Breach Between the
Packers and Striking
Workers is Widening

SIOUX CITY, Ia. Feb. 97.-The breach
in settlement negotiations between Of
ficials Of the Cudahy and Armour Pack
ing companies and the $500 strikers at
the Sioux City plants was widened today
when at mass meeting OF strikers II
was decided to demand the original scale
of 22is cents an hour for all common
laborers, instead of accepting the 2l-cent
an hour offer, which Saturday was prac-
ucally decided upon.
Unless the packers grant a written
agreement setting forth that there shall
be no deviation from wage scales for one
year, or shifting Of men from one de-
partment "a another with less wage, It
was unanimously decided there will be no
settlement.
Officials of both companies have re-
fused TO grant these demands Packers
believed today that, the strike would be
settled by the granting Of another con-
cession OF cent to the strikers. Thia
was unanimously rejected when no writ
ten agreement was advanced.
Both packing plants Will continue
closed. Meantime strike leaders are en-
deavoring 70 instigate sympathetic strikes

WAR PROFITS HARD
HIT BY TEUTON TAX
Those Who Make Money Out Of War
Must Come Across with it
for Fatherland.
NO ESTIMATES ARE YET MADE

BERLIN. Feb 25 (via London)
Feb. 27.-Germany's next expected
taxation measures were announced
by the government today. They in
clude taxes upon the war profits OF
individuals and corporations; also In
direct measures of taxation.
No estimated yield on the taxation
of war profits is given. The govern
ment, in fact, is unable TO estimate
the sum to be derived because large
number Of corporations nave not yet
sent in their reports, and only the
roughest guesses regarding the
financial status OF individuals are
possible.
The war profits measure is divided
into two sections, The section for
individuals takes the form OF a
graduated tax on property increment
between January 1. 1914 and 1917.
The tax commences with per cent
upon the first 10000 marks. per
cent upon the next 10000 marks.
and then rising in successive stages
10 20 per cent on increases over
10000 marks.
A direct tax upon increased incomes Is
avoided largely owing to objections. It Is
said. made by individual states OF the
empire, In which the income tax is re-
served. but by an ingenious subterfuge
when an Increase in the amount OF prop
erty IN accompanied by eorrespondingly
increased income, mainly. when property
increment represents hoardings from an
increased income, the rate OF taxation 10
doubled
II Is admitted that this will rebound to
the advantage OF lavish spenders who
live up to Their war profits. but It is
said that this Il unavoidable. In order
to checkmste various devices OF tax
dodgers. II is provided that gifts TO chill
dren and others, and money invested
abroad during the war must be reported
to the authorities.
Individuals who have been putting
away their profits in jewelry. paintings
and other articles OF art or luxury. which
as personal property heretofore have
escaped taxation, must return them at
their purchase value, AS a further meas
ure against tax lodgings. persons moving
out In the country or attempting to send
property abroad before the date Of the
col ection. may be forced to deposit with
the authorities enough TO cover the tax.
A Jail penalty Is provided for offenders.
The corporation tax on wartime profits
starts with 10 per cent on the yearly
profits made during the war as compared
with the a,erase ante-belum profits
when this additional profit does not eK-
reed per cent Of the corporations eapi-
tai stock. II rises TO 30 per cent when
the additional profits exceed % Der cent
OF the capital.

WHOLE FRONT ON THE ALERT

PARIS, Feb. 27.-Paris is extra
ordinarily calm in the presence OF
the great battle now IN progress
around Verdun There are no indi-
cations of tension or nervousness. but
only sober confidence in the result
prevails.
The desire among those who know
the defensive strength Of the lines
seems to be that the attacks should
continue. for. they argue, the losses
on the German side would be in pro-
portion TO their efforts.
There were few persons around
the newspaper bulletin boards today,
and no crowds at the ministry OF war
and other public offices. The whole
front from the North Sea to Switzer-
land is on the alert, and all leaves OF
absence have been recalled.

The Temps military review, which Is
usually written by General dc la Croix.
sums up the situation thus:
THE battle being fought is extremely
serious. Even should the heights OF
Poivre and the vauche be taken, the
enemy would find us perhaps stronger
on the Froideterre- Douaumont line, from
which begins the defenses, properly
speaking. OF the fortress. covered with
trenches and batteries. THIS Is a siege
by the Germans; 1t is a battle against
one Of our armies in the garrison at ver-
dun, and it's forts do not figure In these
combats as q support. The big guns of
the enemy might destroy the fort OF
pouaumont without cessroying anything
more than an inert block OF cement.
Cannot he Suspended.
The snow has not caused any diniinu-
tion of the attacks because they cannot
be Suspended. They must be continued
to the end. The troops engaged would
be unable to remain idle long In the terri
tory captured while awaiting better
weather conditions. A thaw would rem.
