PRESIDENT WILSON ABHoRs
RASH ACTION BY U. s.
Declaration of His Definition of vaIor
Brings Gridiron Club, Washing
ton, D. c., to Feet.

Washington, D. C.-President Wilson
told members and guests at Grid
iron club dinner Saturday night that
America ought to keep out Of the Eu-
ropean war "at the sacrifice of every
thing except this single thing upon
which her character and her history
are founded, her sense of humanity
and justice"
The address was confidential, since
the speeches at the dinners of the
Gridiron club, composed of newspaper
correspondents, are not reported. 1t
was made public, however, because
many of those who heard it urged that
1t should 60 to the country.
The president spoke at the nations
affairs with unusual gravity. His hear
ers, including several hundred mem
bers of congress, government officials,
business men and correspondents,
were brought to their feet cheering
when he concluded with these words:
I would be just as much ashamed
to be rash as would to be a coward.
Valor is self-respect. Valor is cir
cumspect. Valor strikes only when it
Is right to strike. Valor withholds
itself from all small implications and
entanglements and waits for the great
opportunity when the sword will flash
as If it carried the light of Heaven on
Its blade"

FEDERAL ARMY RESERVE
PLAN GROWING IN FAVOR
House Committee Agrees on Bill Pro-
vIding for $4,000 Regulars, Fed
eraIIzaton of National Guard,


eraIization of National Guard.
Washington.-A growing tendency
to provide for federal army reserve
in addition to the regular army and
federalized national guard was man
Tested this week in both the house
and senate military committees. Mem
bers Of both committees said they IA
vored practical test Of the posi-
bility Of forming federal volunteer
army in peace times on lines some
what similar to the continental army
plan. The apparent intention to aban-
don the continental project wholly
was one of the causes leading up to
the resignation Of Secretary Garrison.
The house committee has agreed up
on the general terms Of bill it ex-
poets to get before the house within
1G days providing for regular army
with an authorized peace strength of
$4,000 men; federalized national
guard, which would reach fixed min
imum strength of $4,000 in five years,
adequate reserve systems for both of
these forces; and organization OF
civilian training camps with wide dis
erection reposed in the war department
as to the terms of enlistment, training
and government.
The senate committee has agreed
tentatively to plan under which
training camps would be authorized in
every congressional district where suf-
ficient men volunteered for training
under an obligation for war service.
The maximum force to be thus raised
in any district would be battalion,
or substantially the same number as
proposed for the first year of the
Garrison continental army plan. The
camps would be under command of full
compliments Of regular army officers.
Members of both committees, while
saying they would support any good
plan for federalizing the national
guard as first line force, frankly ad-
nit that they have doubts whether
a requisite force could be enlisted in
the national guard, even under the pro-
posed federal pay and regulation pro-
visions

GERMANY PLANS A
TAXONWAR PROFITS
INDIVIDUALS AND CORPORATIONS
HAVE GOT TO PAY
THE "PIPER."
is DIVIDED IN TWO SECTIONS
Sliding Scale Method Is Adopted-No
Chance for Any One to Escape the
Payment of Their Share-Per-
sonaI Tax Charged.

Berlin-Germany' next expected
taxation measures are announced by
the government. They include taxes
upon the war profits of individuals and
corporations and also indirect meas
ures 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 a large
number of corporations have not yet
sent in their reports and only the
toughest guesses regarding the finan-
cial status of individuals are possible.
The war profits measure is divided
into two sections. The section for in
dividuals takes the form of gradua-
ted tax on property Increment between
January l, 1914 and 1917 The tax
commences with five per cent upon
the first 10000 marks, six per cent on
the next 10000 marks, and then ris-
ing in successive stages to 25 per
cent on increases over 100000 marks.
Direct Tax.
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
reserved, but by an ingenious subter-
fuge when an increase in the amount
of property is accompanied by cor
respondingly increased income, main
ly, when property increment repre-
sents hoardings from an increased in
come, the rate of taxation is double.
1t is admitted that this will rebound
to the advantage of lavish spenders
who live up to their war profits, but 1t
is said that this is unavoidable.
Catch Tax Dodgers.
In order to checkmate various de.
vices Of tax dodgers, it is provided
that gifts to children and others and
money invested abroad during the wal
must be reported to the authorities.
Individuals who have been putting
away their profits in jewelry, paint
ings and other articles of art or lux
ury, which as personal property here
tofore escaped taxation, must return
them at their purchase value. AS 6
further measure against tax lodging
persons moving into the country OF
attempting to send property abroad
before the date Of the collection, may
be forced to deposit with the authori
ties enough to cover the tax. A jai
penalty is provided for offenders.
Heavy on War Profits.
The corporation tax on wartime
profits starts with 10 per cent on the
additional yearly profits made during
the war as compared with the average
ante-bellum profits, when this add
tional profit does not exceed 2 pei
cent of the corporations capital stock
1t rises to 80 per cent when the addi
tional profits exceed 20 per cent Of
the capital.

5OO,0OOMENBATTLE
AROUND VERDUN
BOTH GERMANY AND FRANCE
CLAIM THEIR VICTORY
LEGIoNs RUSH TO AID.
HEAVY ARTILLERY IN ACTION
British Lines Extended in Belgium
and France to Replace Soldiers
Rushed to Big Battle, Now Called
The Terrific Slaughter.

In the great battle, centering around
Verdun, in which half million men
are engaged, Champneuville, to the
west, and the fortified works of Hard
aumont, to the east Of Fort Douau-
mont, have been captured by the Ger
mans, Berlin reports.
Berlin also claims to have captured
the Cote de Talou, to the west of Dou-
oumont, but, according to the French
official statement, the artillery fire
coming from both sides has rendered
this position untenable for either the
French or Germans
The French are hurting attack after
attack upon the Douaumont positions
held by the Germans, who are declar-
ed to be maintaining themselves there
with difficulty, but in the Woevre re-
gion, to the east of Verdun, the French
advanced posts have been withdrawn.
British lines in Belgium and France
are being extended to replace French
soldiers who are being rushed to the
Verdun region to take part in the
fighting, (which has settled down to
terrific slaughter" according to ad.
vices received at Ottawa from the bat
tie front. Approximately twenty army
divisions have been thrown into the
battle by the Germans. while the
French troops number fifteen divi
sions, cable messages say.
French RepuIse Told at Berlin.
Berlin.-Five determined attempts
made by French troops to recapture
from the Germans Fort de Douaumont
one of the outlying Verdun fortified
lions, were repulsed Saturday with
sanguinary losses, according to the Of
fetal statement issued by the German
headquarters staff. German troops, II
was asserted, had stormed the fortified
works of Hardamount, as we'll as the
town of Champneuville and the Cote
de Talou. The number of unwounded
Frenchmen taken prisoners, it was
added, totaled $4,000
Fierce Fighting Continues.
Paris.-The fight for the possession
Of Verdun goes on with increasing vic.
lence, multiplying the dead and wound.
ed to a point where the losses have
gone beyond the calculators.
1t is impossible to verify how many
reenforcements the Germans have
brought up, but the military critics be
lieve that Of the 100000 men that be
gan the attack few will be left at the
end of the first fighting.
