ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Aug. 29.-The Senate
finance committee has agreed to
amendments carrying war profits
taxes of 80 per cent. in place of the
present provisions for 26 per cent.
This is to meet the radical movement
for greater taxation of war profits.
War profit taxes under disagreement
will yield third of the bills total.

PEACE CANNOT Be NEGOTIATED WITH PRESENT UNRELIABLE GOVERNMENT BUT MIGHT

Washington, Aug. 29.-The presi-
dents note rejecting the pope's peace
proposals is regarded here as finally
settling the question of dealing with
present German rulers. The president
makes it clear that lasting peace can
be negotiated only on complete un-
derstanding with the German people,
and not on the unstable guarantees of
the existing government.

Moscow, Aug. 29.-At the third sit

way representatives said that trans
portation was utterly demoralized,
and unless it is improved will cease
completely by November. They gave
warning that the consequences would
be terrible at home and at the front,
and said the army might turn on the
country and commit excesses. The
extreme demands of the railway
workers, the speakers said, played a
big part in this disorganization.

OLD ARMY MOST EFFECTIVE

General Alexieff, former command
er in chief of the Russian army, drew
contrasts between the army of the old
regime, poorly equipped with with a
strong, warlike spirit, with the pres
ent army, well equipped but complete
ly poisoned by i'll applied doctrines. He
said the army was split into groups
of officers and soldiers. He maintain
ed that respect for officers disappear
ed after the publication by the gov
ernment of the declaration of rights
of the soldiers. He told of one in
stance where a force of twenty-eight
officers, twenty on-commissioned of
ficers and two soldiers marched to
their death while other soldiers look
ed coldly on.

OCALA, FLORIDA, WEDNESDAY,, AUGUST 29, 1917.
To DWELL IN THEIR TENTS
SOLDIERS At MACON WILL LIVE UNDER CANVAS
INSTEAD Of UNDER SHINGLES

Following is a sketch of Camp
Wheeler at Macon, where the men of
the Florida National Guard will train
Contrary to the idea generally pre-
vailing, there are no barracks being
built at Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ga,
where Florida's federalized national
will be trained, says 7. j.
Bryson in an article in. Sundays Ma
con Daily Telegraph. The men will be
quartered in their tents just as they
have been at Black Point and just as
they were on the Texas frontier The
buildings which are going up, the ar
ticle continues, are all dining rooms,
bath houses, toilets, store houses, hos
pitfalls, officers mess halls, and the
like.
On one stretch of road inside the
reservation there are more than $50
dining rooms. Each of these will ac-
$50 men. For the infan-
try alone there are more than 125, all
in one closely packed row. Inside
there are plain pine tables where the
men will eat without anything resem-
bling a table cloth. But since the
boards are kept scrupulously clean,
being scrubbed with soap and water
three times day, this isn't one-half
as bad as it sounds. In fact, anyone
who has tried it finds it vastly more
than the prospect facing
one who enters a restaurant and finds
a somewhat soiled cloth on the table
to which he is assigned

Regiment, including Hood Hampton of
Tampa.
Riding through, one sees one gang
of men slapping on roofing by the
hundred squares, another raising
building frames so rapidly that it
seems like magic; a third filling an
immense hole where the plans call for
a building; another still connecting
water pipes, and yet another busily
swarming over whole train, dump
ing out the material that is to keep
the other gangs busy, Mr.. Bryson
writes. And everywhere is evident
the same orderly but none the less
evident rusn-the strain to get ahead
just little faster, the effort to "put
have promised.
And one sees here and there and
everywhere reserve army officers
men who have turned their backs on
their own private affairs, men whose
time at their own desks would bring
them in many times over what the
government is paying, men whose
ability to handle such enormous tasks
have been amply proven in civil life,
but men who have left their own
work to answer the governments call
for help.
The Soldier Spirit
And as one watches them, intense
ly interested in their task, sees them
giving unsparingly of their talents, of
their time, of themselves, working all
day and often late into the night, one
cannot but read here the real answer
to the kaiser's oft-repeated taunt that
America won't fight, that our nation
has no national spirit, that if left
alone to their money-making Ameri-
cans care for nothing else.
The men who are doing the work at
Camp Wheeler are soldiers and they
look upon their work as part of our
campaign against Prussianism just as
truly as though they were digging
first-line trenches. They are really in
earnest and no one who comes in con-
tact with them can fail to feel this in
stantly. From them minions of the
kaiser might learn much to enlighten
them as to American traits and Amer
lean spirit.

AUTOCRACY ARRAIGNED

In his note the president says that
while every heart not blinded and
hardened by this terrible war must be
touched by the moving appeal of his
holiness, it would be folly to talk
about peace. He points out that if
it does not lead to the goal he pro-
poses, to deal with such powers as the
present rulers of Germany upon the
pope's plan, would involve recupera-
tion of the strength and renewal of
world domination policy by that pow
er.
The president said that Germany
was baked but not defeated, and af-
ter sweeping a continent with the
blood of innocent women, children,
the helpless poor as well as soldiers,
permanent peace must be based on
the faith of all peoples, as we'll as
justice and fairness.
eve cannot" he said, "take the
word of the present rulers of Ger
many as a guarantee of anything
that is enduring, unless supported by
conclusive evidences of the will and
purposes of the German people them
selves"
The president said it was manifest
= that no part of the pope's program
could be successfully carried out un-
less restitution of the statu quo fur
nished the basis. The object of this
war is to deliver the free peoples of
the world from the menace of a vast
military establishment controlled by
an irresponsible government, which
having secretly planned to dominate
the world proceeded to carry through
the plan without regard to the sacred
obligations of treaties. 1t stopped at
no barrier, whether of law or mercy.
WILSON IS SPOKESMAN FOR
THE ALLIES
President Wilson's rejection of the
peace proposals is regarded in Wash
ington as the high water mark of the
war. 1t is Indicative of the virtual
selection of the president by the AL
lies as their spokesman before the
whole world, and the general tenor of
the reply was anticipated.
There was, however, no inkling OF
the force of the terms he would en-
ploy in saying the world would have
no faith in autocratic government for
Germany.

Men Will Sleep on Cots

Between the line of dining rooms
for the infantry, which all stand along
one street, and the bath houses and
latrines, which are along a back street
some $50 yards away, the large peri
initial tents now in use in the army
will be erected to house the men. In
these tents the men will live, II to the
tent. And since, the men will sleep on
cots, there will be comparatively little
room left for passageways when the
II cots are placed inside their tent.
The Macon Telegraph writer ex-
poets the "city" at Camp Wheeler to
be established inside of two weeks, it
is evident from his comparison with
the growth of the city of Macon. 1t
took Macon the better part of rs
years to become a city of 10000 peo-
pie, he says, while the city the gov
ernment will establish at Holly Bluff
within the next two weeks will grow
to that size in less than week. Ma
con was all of seventy-five years pre-
pairing to take care of her 10000
souls.
Army officers, when the troops ar
rive at Camp Wheeler, will have turn
ed tract of farming land into a COM
plete city ready to receive its $4,000
men in a little more than 80 working
days.
And if the average layman doubts
that Camp Wheeler will be a really
complete city, that provision has been
made to furnish practically everything
necessary to the health and comfort
of the soldiers who will be stationed
there, he has only to glance over the
list of improvements being made at
H6lly Bluff to be convinced:
