ed to produce 81 1,SO0,OOO,OOO for the eX-
penses Of the war;, was completed by
the ways and means committee Tues
day night and introduced in the house
Wednesday.
If the trainers overlooked any tam
gible article upon which it Is possible

any desire to do so.

its, amusements, liquors, tobacco, auto
mobiles, moving pictures, baseball
games, medicines, letter postage, trans
.portation and jewelry are among some
of the things which will feel the bur
den Of taxation.
Tariff Will Yield $2OO,00o,O0O.
The committee found it necessary to
go to the tariff to make up deficit or
something like $2OO,0OO,OOO. This was
done by an agreement to tax Of 10
per cent upon all articles now on the
free list and 10 per cent additional
upon all articles now upon the dutiable
list.
IncOme-tax increases as made public
by Chairman Kitchin follow:

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Probability That One Committee Will
Purchase All Supplies Needed by
the Allied Countries.

WashingtOn.-Crea of a central
purchasing committee in Washington
for all supplies bought in the United
States for the allied governments was
forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever,
financial expert of the British. war
mission. The committee will supplant
J. P. Morgan & Co.
Discussing the world financial situa-
ton, the British expert expressed the
opinion that Germany will be practical
ly bankrupt in the credit markets
after the war.
"Our enemies" he said, "for all their
boasted efficiency, have never had the
courage to face their financial prob
lens, with the result that when the
war is over they will be hard put to
it,"
The Teutonic governments having
pyramided one internal loan upon an
other, he explained, their interest
charges would be so great that he be-
lieyed they would either have to repu-
diate large part Of their debt or face
inability to buy the enormous quantl-
ties of material they would need Tor
reconstruction
The allies, he added, had paid their
way in the war "by the Straightfor-
ward and natural means, by pouring
out their gold, by selling enormous
masses of American securities, by rails
ing loans" AS result, he predicted
that the end of the war would find the
allies in good shape financially, despite
their enormous permanent debts.
