MAR TAX BILL IN
 REVISED FORM |S
 F|NALLY REPORTED
Republican A.P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Aug 6.-The war tax bill finally revised to meet latest estimates was favorably reported today by the senate finance committee. It proposes to raise $2,0O6, ,97O, 900 by taxa ton.
 The house bill proposed $1 ,S67 ,00O, 900 in new taxes. No provision for addi- tional bonds to be considered later by the house is made in the senate bill.
 Chairman Simmons plans to call up the revised bill for debate the latter part of the week and hopes for it's final enactment by congress early next month
 Among the new taxes proposed under the revised bill for war expenses for the nresent fiscal year would come incomes, war excess profits, liquor and tobacco taxes
 The revised senate bill strikes out the retroactive tax upon last years incomes put, princIpally by increasing surtax on wealthy persons and by doubling the normal tax on corporations, proposes to raise $777 ,000. 900 in addition to the S330, 000, 900 now secured from incomes. It proposes a levy of $562, 900 900 on war profits and extends the tax to individ- uals in trade or business as well as corporations
 The house tax yield on distilled spir- it's of $100,000, 900 is raised to $135, 900, = 900: that on beer from $37,500,000 to $456 O00,0 900. and that on wines from $6,000,000 to $21,000,000. A prohibitive tax on further manufacture or importa- ton of distilled beverages also is pro- vided.
 fhe original senate committee pro- vision for an increase of one quarter of one cent a pound in publishers mailing rates and a per cent tax upon their net incomes over s4,000, in lieu of the house plan for increasing postal rates by zone system, was retained.
 The house provisions reimposing Spanish war stamp taxes were sub stantially retained.
 The total estimated increase in fed eral revenues of $2006, ,670000 proposed under the amended bill was said today by Chairman Simmons and treasury ex- perts to be conservative. Many of those i'll charge of the revision believe the bill will in actual operation yield many millions more.
 The majority report was submitted by Chairman Simmons, who explained that the committees revision of the house bill waJ on the principle of rais-

 The books and papers of an embassy. including those relating to the affairs of foreign nations temporarily in the embassy's care are universally recog- nized in international law as not sub ject to seizure nor did the fact that I was carrying on this work outside the actual embassy building have any bear ing on this point. so long as the build ing was directly under my control. especially as the only work carried on was work properly in my hands in my official capacity.
 The foreign office saw that it had made a bad mistake. But at Zimmer- mann's earnest request 1 agreed, as it were, to forget the incident.
 Later on this precedent might have been used by our Government, had it desired to press the matter of the seiz- ure of Von Igefs papers. Won Igel, it will be remembered. was carrying on business of a private nature in d pri vate office hired by him. Neverthe- less, as he had been emp owed in some capacity in the German embassy at Washington, Count Von Bernstorff claimed immunity from seizure for the papers found in that office.

 Senator Hollis said the anti hoard ing section would subject labor union heads who might call strikes on rail- roads transporting or in factories pro- ducing necessaries to two years inn prisonment and $10,000 fines
 If movement similar to that in Russia is found in the United States said the New Hampshire senator, 'it will be on the heads of the senators.
 The conduct of the war depends on the frame of mind of the laboring men of the country. Our one hope in Ger many is that workngmen there will no longer obey constituted authority. This bills provisions are more stringent than the Sherman law.
 The senate is not composed of empty headed men and should face the ser iousness of this situation. The draft riots are an omnibus symptom. Lynch ing of an l. w. w. leader in a northern state might start a boulder rolling in the vitals of labor. To start that boulder would be the most foolish thing capital could do.
 "The rights of labor have been much neglected by this administration since the war began" Senator Hollis con tinued. No member of a labor union has been placed by the administration on either the coal committee or the railroad committee. Mr. Gompers was placed on the labor committee and is doing creditable work. The presi- dent is not asking for any legislation which would permit a peaceful strike.
 He has had several opportunities to do SO"
 Senator Chamberlain denounced Sen atOr Gore and others who are opposing the bill when the Oklahoma senator suggested that senate members of the conference committee who favored the report should have the word ''receded' | written on their bTows
 1 "'To those senators who have been | opposing the administration not only l in reference te raising an army. but l in supplying the army" Senator Cham | berlain continued, we have the dis tinguished and illstrious example of men Of their sections standing out l against the president in raising an
 army'
 Senator Gore denied that he had i obstructed the food bill, but said that 1 he would continue to discharge the duties of a senator without any threat 1 of power or the smiles of brandishment | of power.
 The Oklahoma senator declared he
 had done everything possible to speed both the food bills through the senate and to make them constitutional He also denied that he had obstructed the passage of the selective draft law. and
 said that the present trouble in Okla 1 hcma over the enforcement of the draft
 law was due to a grievance originat- ing among the Seminole Indians over
 delay in the government paying certain
 money due them.

House taxes on club dues were elim- mated, the report said, because it was difficult to reach clubs properly tax able and at the same time exempt those which should not be taxed.
 Most house stamp taxes, virtually those of Spanish war days, the report said have been retained.

 Senator Williams declared that there is either more intended than is ap- parent in the language of the proposal to create the joint committee on war expenditures. or it is unnecessary.
 The Mississippi senator pointed out that congress already has power to in vestigate every item of expenditures and cited the experiences of President Lincoln with congressional committee on conduct of the civil war as a Warn- ing of what could be expected from the creation of a committee on war eX- penditures.
 Most of today's debate was occupied by democratic senators opposing ap- proval of the conference report. Re publicans were said by their leaders to be almost a unit for immediate and favorable action.

The chancellor gave me on Septem-

the planned French advance. He also declared that England, regardless of consequences to the white race. had in cited Japan to a pillaging expedition, and said that Belgian girls and women had gouged out the eyes of the wound ed, that officsrs had been invited to dinner and shot across the table and that Belgian women had cut the threats of soldiers quartered in their houses while they were asleep. The chancellor concluded by saying in his statement that every one knows that the German people are incapable of un- necessary cruelty or of any brutality.
 We were fully occupied with taking care of the English prisoners and in- terests, of Americans and with negotia- tions relating to commercial questions and to getting goods required in the United States out of Germany, when on October : a most unpleasant incident, and one which for some time caused the members of our embassy to feel rather bitterly toward the German foreign office, took place.

Raid on American Embassy in Berlin

Raid on American Embassy in Berlin
 A great number Of British civilians men and women, were stranded in Berlin. To many of these were paid sums of money in the form of small allowances on behalf of the British government. In order to facilitate this work, we placed the clerks employed in this distribution in the building former ly occupied by the British consul in Berlin. Of course, the great crowds of Americans resorting to our embassy, when combined with the crowds Of British, made it almost impossible to enter even the embassy, and establish ment of this outlying relief station ma terially helped this situation. l occu- pied it and emp.oyed English men and women in this relief work by the ex press permission of the Imperial foreign office, which l thought it wise to ob- tain, in view of the fact that the Ger mans seemed daily to become more ir- ritable and suspicious, especially after the battle of the Marne.
 On the night of October ?, our second secretary Harvey, went to this relief headquarters at about 12 o'clock at night, and was witness to a raid made by the Berlin police on this establish ment of ours. The men and women working were arrested and all books and papers which the police could get at were seized by them. The next morn ing l went around to the pace, and, on talking with the criminal detectives in charge, was told by them that they made the raid by the orders of the foreigh office.
 When I spoke to the foreign office about this, its officials denied that they had given directions for the raid and ! made sort of half apology. The raid
 was all the more unjustified because only the day before I had had a con- versation with the adjutant of the Der lin Kommandantur and told him, all though l had permission from the fore 1 ign office, that I thought it would be better to dismiss the English employed jeans, or Germans. 1 sent around tC my friend Herr von Gwinner, head oi
 the Deutsche bank, and asked him to recommend some German accountants to me.
 The Kommandantur is the direct of flee of military control. When the adjutant heard of the raid, he was al most as indignant as I was. and on the
