KILL MORE GERMANS,
URGES FIR. VAUGHAN
II They Played War Game Fair
They Would Be Admired,
Says Noted Priest.

LONDON. Jan. 26-In a speech at the
Mansion House Father Bernard Vaughan
said that II Prussianized Germany
would play the game according to the
rules laid down by international law.
he thought 1t would command the adj
miration as well as the respect Of Eng
lishmen; but the Germans had failed
to play the game.
our business" he cried, vehemently,
is to keep on killing Germans! Some
body has to be killed. and do you think
we ought to be hllcd in view Of the
motive We have gone forth to fight for?
say we have to kill a sufficient num-
Der OF that tremendous army, so as to
entitle us to dictate terms Of peace
that shall be rooted in a victory to be
heard and shouted from Faris to this
mammoth metropolis"
Referring to the reports Of German
atrocities, he said, he was sometimes
told that the newspapers were exag-
gersting. His answer was that IL the
Germans had not done what was
charged against them, they were fall
ing to carry out the laws laid down
by their war lords--to leave women and
children nothing but their eyes to weep
with.

Administration Members OF
Ways and Means Committee
I Plan Meeting.
no DISCUSS INCOME TAX
Retention of a Duty on Sugar
and Creation of Tax Board
Considered.

Democratic members of the Ways and
Means Committee will meet next week
to begin consideration of the revenue
situation. After conferences among
the party leaders, including the Presi-
dent the majority members of the COM
mittee have before them program
calling for:
A revised income tax.
Retention of duty on sugar.
Creation of q tariff commission.
lnactment of anti-dumping legislation.
There probably will be discussion OF
an inheritance tax and an internal rev.
Gnue levy on war munitions, but these
suggestions are not likely to reach the
legislation stage. The income tax Will
be the principal revenue producer for
the Democrats and will be amended to
bring in about $780, 900 additional
Must Retain Duty.
Retention of duty on sugar is regard
ed as imperative in view of the present
condition of the Treasury and the con-
tinued falling off in imports. That the
President approves the creation of
tariff commission and legislation to pre-
vent the dumping of foreign goods on
American shores after the war has been
made known to Administration leaders.
Majority Leader Kitchin said today
that party caucus will be held event
not such a bill will include Semi-pro-
'tectivc rates for the dycstuffs industry
has not yet been determined. The
committee is at present up in the air
over the dyestuffs problem.
The preparedness bills will be nom
partisan and not subject to caucus
action. but the revenue bills, as mat
ters Of Democratic policy and re-
sponsibility, will be subjected to the
caucus procedure, with attempted en-
action of solid Democratic support.
Might Have Excise Tax.
The proposed taxation of war
munitions. leaders said today. will be
in the form of an excise tax If at all.
1t is opposed chiefly as uncertain and
unstable because cessation of war
would stop beth sales and taxes.
Opposition has developed against
lowering the. income tax exemption
limits. Leaders and rank and file,
however, are unanimous in planning
increase of SurtaXes on larger in
comes. But many are opposed to tax
Ing smaller incomes than those now
reached
Early action on the tariff commits
sion is planned. a separate bill will
probably be reported. Indications to-
day are that it will give little in
!tiative to the commission, which will
be empowered merely to collect in
formation and becOmG practically a
statistical and information gathering
bureau, to report to Congress, and not
to the President. but without pow er
to make any revenue revision recon-
mendations.
Despite the Presidents approval OF
the tarif commission plan. many
Democrats today indicated determined
opposition. The so-Callnd "independ- =
ent" wing is already privately in
surging.
