Great indignation is expressed, as the British admiralty positively assert that the Maloja was not anywhere near the British mine field, and that it was none of their mines which sunk the vessel. That the government will take official ac- tion tending to place the responsibility elsewhere seems certain.

RENDERS REVENUE
 PROBLEM EASIER
Supreme Courts Decision Upholding Constitutiona1ity of Income
 Tax Law

Washington, Jan. 25.-Legislation to increase governmental revenues to meet the expenses of national defense is expected to take definite shape now that all doubt as to the constitution ality of the income tax has been re- moved by the supreme courts dec1- sion. Congressional leaders have taken no definite steps toward a solu- ton of the revenue problem pending the courts decision.
 On all sides today the leaders eN- pressed the belief that the decision had paved the way for increasing the tax rate on great private fortunes to aid in paying for national defense Bills to tax incomes of more than s1,OOO,O0O as high as fifty per cent are now before congress.
 The democrats naturally are grati- fled over the decision. In the opin- ion of administration leaders the de- cision has unfettered a fruitful source of revenue and rendered easier the revenue problem confronting the gov ernment.
 Representative Hull of Tennessee, author of the income tax law, ex presses the belief that congress will take advantage of the decision to amend the law materially. He de- clares that without any unusual or un just changes it can be made to yield an additional s1OO,OOO,OOO annually. The law now brings into the treas ury sS5,000,O00 to s9O,O00,0OO.

HILLES PREDICTS
 i. 0. P. VICTORY
Republican Chairman Issues Chal-
 lenge to President Wilson

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Charles D. Hilles chairman of the republican national committee, uttered yesterday a caro- fully prepared challenge 10 Presto: ent Wilson in anticipation of the presi- dents swing around the circle.
 Chairman Hilles was speaking at the Hamilton club luncheon in honor of the national committee officials who met here to make preliminary ar rangements for the party convention at the Coliseum on June '.
 Draft of Platform.
 Mr Hilles' speech is accepted by politicians as the first rough draft of the Coliseum platform of 1916 if the elements whom Chairman Hilles rep resented as head of the organization in the Taft campaign are in control of the committee on resolutions and of the convention.
 dozen particular points of at tack aside from the tariff, Chairman Hilles said, are available for a, winning fight by united Republican party
 War Only Mainstay. "If it were not for the abnormal conditions created by the war in Flu  would have no argument to offer for his reelection" said Chairman Hilles.
 Every recently I sent a question naire to each of the $500 members of Republican state and county commit tees throughout the nation, to which I had a prompt response. It is the consensus of opinion that record of the Wilson administration insures re- publican victory this year. Wilson's conduct of affairs of government has been a keen disappointment, even to men who supported him-and he re ceived 2,Oo0,0OO less than a majority of the votes cast.
 Breach Practically Healed.
 "An expression of my own opin- ion as to the course that will be pur- sued by the general staff officers of any other political party would be an injudicious obtrusion, but from every state, save Maine, the republican com mitteemen report that the breach of 1912 may be regarded as practically healed. There is no silly sentiment that victory will come no matter what our party may do between now and November.
 We know that there is a mans size fight before us Our victories of last November did not come as mama, but were achieved in the sweat of our brows. Wise action will bring victory, and that kind of action will be car ried on.
