THE WORLD ADVANCES

War always will remain pretty
much what Sherman described It,
but never before have the ways of
ameliorating its horrors been. 81
much in evidence as during this
European struggle. One must be
on his guard to keep from falling
too easily into agreement with ~
pacifsts who will tell you how
this war has robbed belligerents
and neutrals Of civilized and hu-
manitarian idealS
All sorts of efforts to relieve the
wounded prove that even war of
the horrible proportions Of the pres
ent one cannot stife humane in
stincts, But here is one quotation
from report of the American Re-
lief Clearing House in Paris which
tails its own story;
AT the time OF the attack In
September we were completely IN,
prepared. We know of one hospital
in the Vosges, where IL was neces-
sary to operate for three days on
constantly arriving stream of
wounded without any anaesthetic
whatever"
As recently as our own civil war
anaesthetics were unknown. Not
for three days, but for four years,
surgeons, not then highly skilled,
went about butchering the wounded
without this palliative. If science
has made instruments infinitely
more deadly, and has insured
o devastation vastly more hor-
rible, it has done something
TO ameliorate the sufferings
Of the wounded and stricken. That
an agency working in a region
where the death had been heavy is
so keenly sensitive to the sufferings
entailed by a three-day lack OF
anaesthetics, it is sound proof that
even the sight of the goriest bat
tlefield in history has not yet stifled
sympathy for those in pain.

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
l am addressing the following letter
to President Wilson:
Kindly consider the following:
THE case OF the Eastman Kodak
Company, Of Rochester, N. Y.
"A well meant but mistaken policy
toward this country's and even the
ticular field. the Eastman Kodak Com
pany. of Rochester, N. Y. threatens to
deprive us OF its numerous benefits and
the honor of it's worldwide prestige. At
least most extensive plant has
been erected for the Kodak Company In
will be fully equipped for the undis-
turbed manufacture OF the products of
this unequaled enterprise. Had not the
Kodak Company made every possible
concession within reason to the Gov
ernments demands In Its recent suit for
its dissolution there would be some
shadow OF excuse for Its persistence in
lis present course. Now there Is none
whatever. The only effect It can have
Ia the probable development for the
future on foreign soil OF this unexam-
pied enterprise. Before that step has
been irrevocably taken II would be well
for our Government to consider when
the utmost concessions possible have
been made, whether II Is good policy
and desirable to drive the greatest un-
dertakings from our midst to seek fair
and reasonable treatment on foreign
soil and under another government.
what encouragement do We afford the
greatest enterprises when extinction
faces them II they become too success
full? The eminent fairness your Admin
istration has shown In dealing with the
country's leading industries Is the
ground OF my present appeal for your
careful consideration OF this matter
also.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE GEN ERAL STAFF IN FRANCE, AUG ,, CVia London) General Joseph Joffre, generalissimo of the French army, and the guidign spirit of the united army of the entente allies, today received the Associated Press correspondent hr and for upwards of an hour talked freely and fully on many interesting phases of the war. He expressed the view that the turning point of the conflict has been successfully reached and passed and with the united action of the allies on many fronts, they were pressing forward to the certain collapse of the German efforts and to an assured victory.
 It was an exceptional opportunity to see and talk with the military com mander who not only is head of the French army, but also is in supreme authority over the French. British and Belgian forces on the western front and the French, British and Serbian armies of half million men around Saloniki. as well as being senior com mander in the united action by which the allies are conducting simultaneous offensives on the French, Russian. Italian and Balkan campaigns.

General Joffre was in his private office at headquarters when the party of American correspondents arrived, the visit having been arranged for the anniversary of the opening of the war.

COPPER EXCISE TAX
 TO BE REDUCED
Lead, Zinc, Iron and Steel to be Added to Munitions List, Liable for Heavy Excise Tax.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-Reducuon Of the income tax exemption from s3O00 to 5000 for single persons and from S4OOO to $3OO0 for those with families was ordered recommended to the Senate tonight by Democratic members of the finance committee who are revising the House revenue bill. The change is proposed in an amendment which would put the ad- ditional 5000 taxes in a separate classification and impose on it a normal tax of one per cent instead of the two per cent assessed against incomes over S3000 for single per sons and over $4O0O for married per sons.
