further promise was made that the
emergency bureau would endeavor To
get other mills not AFFILIATED with the

The lumber men have been notified

homeward bound. but not vitality dsm-
aged and able to make a foreign port.
Nothing definite Is stated as to whether
there was loss Of life or injury TO any
one aboard. While awaiting moro de-
tails the Navy Department has author
lied the following bulletin:
The Navy Department has received
dispatches stating that tho transport
Finland was torpedoed while returning
from foreign waters. Tho damage to
the ship was slight. and she returned
to port under her own steam. The
Finland was under escort. but no sign
Of the torpedo or the submarine was
seen.
The Finland is the second American
transport torpedoed by tho U-boats. The
Antilles on October II was torpedoed
and sunk with the loss Of sixty-seven
lives. The Antilles sank in less than
i've ninutes.
In this former case as in the case Of
the Finland nothing was seen Of either
the submarine or the torpedo. This Is
taken by naval experts here as an in
dication that the transport in each case
stumbled upon the U-boat. which per-
mltted the submarine commander to
FIRE the torpedo without being under way
with the submarine.
Under ordinary circumstances the lack
Of mention Of casualties b taken to In
dicate that none occurred. But the Navy
| Department nevertheless is awaiting
| further news.
The Finland is one OF the largest
steamers flying the American nag. Be-
fore going into the army transport ser
vice she piled between New York and
| European ports in the International
Mercantile Marine Compang's service
under the Red Star and other lines
! She has a gross tonnage Of 12.S06, and
| normally carries a crew Of 257 men. She
was built In Philadelphia in 1908.
! This IL the second attempt Of the Ger
mans to get the Finland. A determined
effort was made early last August on
Belle isle on the French coast. and It I:
reported that a defective torpedo savet
/ the ship.
| 1t has been said that the German Ad
miralty had advices that the FINLAND
was commanded by German American
whose answering loyalty to the United
States particularly nettled the Germans
with the result that his ship has bee,
marked as one or the special prospective
victims for the u-boats.
Naval officers here say that the new
German methods of camouhage as ap
piled to periscopes may have assisted
the submarine commander In esca pinJ
detection. BY use Of neutral tints tn
Teutons have, It is said. succeeded II
making periscopes practically invisibl
excepting at q short distance. In SOM
cases a seagill has been painted on tn
periscope to account for the disturbanc

Geddes Says War on Sub
marines in Last Quarter
Equals All Of 1915.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-sir Eric Geddes,
who recently succeeded Sir Edward
Carson as First Lord Of the Admiralty.
made his flrst address in Parliament to-
day and gave some interesting and anx-
iously awaited figures on the work Of
the navy and shipping in general.
His declaration that between 40 and
so per cent. Of the German submarines
operating in the North Sea. tho At
lantic and the Arctic oceans had been
sunk was not the least interesting of
his announcements. and there was an
indication Of the unceasing war the
British and American patrols are maH-
ing on the submarine in his statement
that during the last quarter the enemy
had lost as many submarines as during
the whole of 1916.
The First Lord. speaking directly OF
his department, said that In addition TO
an increase In the personnel the services
OF younger officers had been requisi-
toned to add strength to the experience
Of the older officers on the naval staff.
Question of SInI<ings.
Referring to the question Of publish.
ing the tonnage OF British mercha ntnien
lost through submarines. he said he had
made a most careful Investigation and
had approached the subject with the
idea that II was desirable and 1t ought
to ne possible to give the public hguTes
because, he added. at Is hardly con-
ceivable that the enemy does not know
what he ia sinking.
He regretted 10 say. however. that he
had not found It possible to arrive at
any form of publication which would not

Flat Rate to BE Proposed at
Coming Session of
Congress.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-When Con-
gress convsnes IN December It will have
to frame and pass another tax bill to
raise the right proportion OF the ex-
pensee Of the war. Instead Of additional
ievies on war profits. II was learned to-
large hand in the preparation Of the
new law. a straight additional tax on
the incomes Of all persons. companies
and corporations of at least 10 per cent.
probably will be imposed.
Tho two tax laws now in effect are
expected to raise only 100000, 900
by the end Of the present fiscal year. on
Juno 30 next. When the new war
taxes operate for a full twelve months
In the next fiscal year the present taxes
are expected to raise In all $780, .00o.-
900. Tho expenditure OF the Govern
ment during the next fiscal year II the
war continues are expected to be $26,-
900. 100000. 1t will be the general pol
Icy Of tho Administration to raise at
least one-fifth Of this amount in taxes.
A minimum Of $4,000, ,00o. 900 must bc
raised, 1t was pointed out. This will
make 1t necessary to raise. roughly. an
additional $1,000. 900. 900 in the new tax
bill to be prepared at the next session
Of Congress.
Fiat Tax Proposed.
II was said to-day by q we'll informed
o6icial source that the idea Of increasing
the supertaxes on incomes Of all sorts
to raise this additional revenue Is al
most impossible because when the time
comes to draw the new bill there will be
no accurate means Of knowing how the
present supertaxes are working out
and therefore impossible to be sure Of
raising any definite additional sum in
the same manner.
Under existing law incomes are SUBJ
ject to a number of taxes already. Cor
porations pay 6 per cent. Of their net
incomes regardless Of their magnitude.
Unmarried individuals pay per cent
Of income between $1,000 and $4,000.
Married persons pay per cent on in
comes between $4,000 and $4,000. Un.

for unmarried and married persons

Internal Revenue Bureau officials fg
ure that with the present low .exemp
tions about 100000 persons will b.
reAohed in the whole country. Tho oil

It II estimated officially now that in
