The A. o. HIS and the A. P. A. 5
May Upset Judgment Day

This Irishman on Sunday heard a
clergyman preach on the judgment day.
The priest told of the hour when the
trumpet shall blow and all peoples OF
all climes and all ages shall be gath
cred before the seat of God to be
judged according to their deeds done
in the flesh. After the sermon he
sought out the pastor and ne said:
Father, / want to ask you a few ques-
,ions touching on what you preached
about to-day. Do you really think that
on the judgment day everybody will be
there"
The priest said: THAT is my under
standing
"Will Cain and Abel be there"
Undoubtedly"
"And David and Goliath-will they
both be thcre?"
That is my information and belief"
"And Brian Boru and Oliver Crom-
well will be there"
"Assuredly they will be present"
And the A. o. H.'s and A. P. AS ~
81 am quite positive they will all be
there together"
Father" said the parishioner
".here1l be little judgin' done the first
day!"-From a speech by Irwin S. Cobb
TO the American Irish Historical So
ciety.

May Soon Be Eating Kahr
War Likely to Bring Us New
Asiatic Cereal

Kafr is edible. palatable and nutri-
tious, says "The Implement and Tractor
Trade Journal" So those who have
eaten il testify. Farina from kahr
stands somewhat on the scale of food
products between wheat -four and corn
meal. As F. d. Coburn, the great
Western agricultural authority, states,
kafir is already used as daily article
of diet by 700,00o000 persons, mostly
in Asia.
Odd as it seems to Americans. the
people Of the British Isles knew little or
nothing about the food value and pal
atabilitv of corn bread and beans be-
fore the present war. But the exigen-
cies of the situation forced the knowl-
edge upon them. Now they are the
better of for it. II we on this side OF
the Atlantic can likewise gain new
item for our diet. why wouldn't 1T be
the sensible thing to do so?
One of the virtues of war is that II
is a great educator. Isn't it reasonable

age persons that kafr products are

1t is true, therefore, that the larger

they received months ago, before the

Y. vi. G. A. to Erect
"Huts" at Officers
Training Camps
Each Wooden Building
Will Have Hall Seating
1000 Men

Chicago, June S.-Fourteen "huts,' as
they will be officially designated, have
been established by the Young Mems
Christian Association in each of the
camps where officers are being trained
for the new army.
These huts. however. are commodious,
elaborate. lumber structures, quickly
erected. That at Fort Sheridan, Chi
cago, a typical structure. required $4,000
feet of lumber Neil Mcmillan, Of the
bureau of material IN the war work
council OF the National Young Mems
Christian Association, describes these
huts as follows:
at is planned to erect a building and
provide its equipment and five secre-
taries for work in il for each barrack.
That is to say. there will be a complete
unit of building, equipment and secre-
taries for every six thousand men.
"These buildings will be approx
mstely 116 feet long by 40 feet wide,
with a small wing 20 by q feet in size.
The buildings will contain large au-
ditorium seating between 500 and 1000
for motion picture entertainments and
religious and educational addresses.
There will be large facilities for
correspondence, both in the auditorium
during the day and in the special
auxiliary writing room, for use when
the auditorium is occupied.
-Four classrooms are being provided
for the educational work, which will be
carried on in most of the camps, and
for use of religious groups as well. For
the men who wish to get alone for
study or for conference with leaders
FIVE small studies have been included
in the equipment.
"In addition to the business Office and
administration centre, five bedrooms
for the staff and a motion picture
booth will be provided. The latter is
arranged TO make possible projection

Lenroot Amendments, Aim
ing to Bring $66, 900, 900,
Also Stricken Out
Munitions Levy Is Off
Corporations Are Made Ex.
empt from "Double Charges"
on Their Dividends

Washington, June IL Radical
changes in the income tax section OF
the House war tax bill, previously
agreed to tentatively, were finally ap-
proved to-day by the Senate Finance
Committee. The retroactive tax on 1916
incomes, designed to raise sos, 100000,
and the so-called Lenroot amendments,
increasing surtaxes on incomes Of more
than $4,000 to bring in about 6,000,-
600, were stricken ou,.
The committee spent the entire day
on the income section, and at adjourn
ment proposal by Senator Penrose
and Senator Lodge for further reduc-
ton of surtaxes on incomes over s4O,-
600 was pending.
Important amendments regarding tax
alton Of corporation stock dividends
and receipts from subsidiary corpora
tions were adopted. Stock dividends,
the committee proposes, shall be taxed
the amount of earnings or profits so
distributed, in accordance with the
present Treasury Department practice
To prevent double income taxation OF
corporation profits IL was decided 10
exempt from taxation income received
by a holding or other corporation from
another corporation upon which the m
come tax has once been paid. This
change has been urgently advocated
by representatives Of corporations.
Formal approval was given on amend
ment TO repeal the present special tax
of l2i2 per cent upon war munitions
This had been informally agreed to on
the ground that munitions manufactur-
ers must pay the proposed increased
income and excess profits taxes.
Most of the days debate centred upon
the Penrose-Lodge proposal to further
reduce surtaxes on incomes Of more
than $4,000. 1t is understood that
Senators La Toilette, Gore, Thomas
McCumber and others vigorously OPP
, posed any further reduction in view
of the committees action in rejecting
the Lenroot amendments. The present
House surtaxes on such incomes range
from per cent on those between $40,
600 and 100000. to SO per cent on in
comes Of more than s500,00o. The
amendments proposed would reduce th'
minimum and maximum rates to ant
90 per cent, respectively, with CORE
spending reductions in intermediate
grades.
The committee plans TO conclude th'
income tax section tomorrow and pro
ceed to settle the rate on excess profits
with an increase from the House rate
of Is per cent TO at least 20 per cent
Generally predicted settlement Of tn
tax on newspapers, magazines and othel
publications, it was indicated tonight

FOUR MERCHANT
 SHIPS ARE SUNK:
 AMERICANS LOST
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Mar. 31- The state department tonight receiv- ed official reports from its rnpresen- tatiyes in England which state that al least five Americans were killed. and probably several moro also met death. when four merchant ships were submarincd without warning.
 The British steamer Crispin car ried several Americans in her crew. and the dispatches received state that most of them are unaccounted for and are probably dead Two American negroes perished in the submarining of the Portuguese bark Argo, and eighteen others are re ported missing Three American ne groes are missing from the British steamers Eptafolos and $nowden Range, both of which were torpe- doed without warning
 The department is awaiting com plete details from the American con sul at Queenstown before submitting the papers to President Wilson. These losses of life will probably be men toned in the Presidents message to congress as additional ground for a declaration of war, as the admins tratiOn considers such submarining acts of hostility. and so informed Germany prior to the break of dip lOmatiC relations.
 Officials here state that while there was nothing needed to add to the tenseness of the situation, the deaths of these Americans will undoubtedly strengthen the Presidents hold on congress and tend to render more futile the endeavors of the pacifists to hamper the President by trying to influence congress to withhold it's declaration of war. The feeling of indignation against the German government has been greatly increas- ed by the latest advIces of these losses, and practically the entire coun- try is demanding that action be taken to put an end to such deeds
