SEEKING EXPERT COUNSEL.

The president does we'll to ask for the opinion
of representative men concerning the financial
and economic problems that must be solved by
congress and the administration. Otto II. Kahn
was at the white house the other day, and
while he properly refuses to discuss his visit,
except to say that he went there to talk with
Mr.. Wilson about the economic condition of the
country one may be sure that his advice will be
helpful Some of Mr.. Kahn's views known,
and they commend themselves to the Judgment
Of conservative businessmen upon whose coop
GRAFTON the government must rely in the war
crisis This New York banker is a recognized
expert on the subject of war taxation, and he
has made thorough study of our own peculiar
problems.
Soon after the United States entered the war,
MIR. Kahn said that heavy tax on excess
profits would be better than a moderate tax on
general profits, and he pointed out that a forty
per cent. tax on excess profits above the aver
age earnings of the last three years would yield
q total of eight hundred million dollars in adj
dition to the yield from the corporate income
tax at the rate Of four per cent.
We are at the beginning of our part in the
war. No one can tell how much the financial
burden, already heavy, will be increased 1t
is a counsel of safety that not too heavy load
be laid on business and industry at the start
That the president is seeking expert opinion is
reassuring.

Someone has been peddling the ridiculous

: The official communication reads:
\ East of. the Adamello Missif, In the

notwithstanding the furious resistance
of the enemy. and attacked the strong

at an altitude of 3,400 meters.
ION the Ortigara our positions on
Hill 2101 were attacked with extreme
violence, the enemy, continually re-
enforced, redoubled his efforts, but
they all failed in the face of our firm
resistance. We inflicted severe losses
on the enemy, repulsing him complete
ly and capturing 81 prisoners, includ-
ing four officers.

SUBSCRIPTIONS TO LIBERTY
LOAN BONDS REACH NEARLY
THREE BILLION DOLLARS.
Eleventh Hour Rush of Buyers Con.
vinces Government that the Public
Is Waking Up to Gravity of Sit

Washington.--The Liberty loan has
been tremendously oversubscribed.
When the books closed at noon Friday
treasury officials estimated that the
total would reach at least $2,S00. .000..
900 and might soar to $4,000, 900, 900.
Every federal reserve district. with
the possible exception of Atlanta, ex
ceeded its minimum allotment.
Reports by telephone and telegraph
from every section of the country told
OF an avalanche of small subscriptions
at the last moment. Scores Of small
investors we're standing in line at
hundreds of banks throughout the
country during the final hour. The
small subscribers apparently had re-
sponded with an enthusiasm that ex
ceeded the most sanguinary hopes Of
officials.
Swelling the huge total by millions
came the belated subscriptions of the
banks that held back till the last mo-
ment The clerical forces of virtually
every reserve bank were. practically
buried under landslide of eleventh
hour subscriptions.

Paris.-Paris opened it's arms to Gen.
Pershing and his staff and welcomed
them with an outburst of spontaneous
enthusiasm such as only Paris is capa-
BILE of. No conquering hero returning
home could have hoped for or received
such tremendous reception as greet
ed the American commander as his au-
tomobile sped through hundreds of
thousands Of cheering people. +
Paris, and particularly the French
authorities, had planned and hoped for
a great reception. but 1t is doubtful
whethcr even the most optimistic pict-
ured the almost frantic crowds that all
but blocked the progress of the auto
mobiles. Men and women cheered
themselves hoarse and flung masses of
flowers into the cars. Parisians de-
clare that the only event in their life
time that approximates the reception
in enthusiasm was that accorded King
George of England in 1914.
When the special train reached the
station Gen. Pershing and Field Mar
shall Joffre were the first to appear.
Behind them came a stream of Amer
ican officers, each with French off,
Ger as his host. The first shout of well
come became a continuous roar that
seemed to shake the station to its foun-
dations.
The Americans apparently had not
imagined the heights to which Parisian
enthusiasm could rise. Boys, men and
girls and even some old women, strug-
gled to Jump on the running board of
Gen. Pershing's car to shake hands
with him. a9 7sst
