WAR TAX BILL IS
STILL IN DEBATE

Washington, May 1.-THE war tax
bill provision to greatly increase pos
tai rates on newspapers and maga-
zines again was under fire today In
the house. General debate on the
bill was nearing its final stages in
the house, while before the senate
finance committee newspaper pub
fishers continued their attacks on the
bills post rate provisions Samuel
Gompers, president Of he American
Federation Of Labor, presented the
protest of the labor press.
The publishers of sc of the largest
and most influential monthly and
weekly magazines said under oath
that their average net earnings for
1915 were only $4,000 each, where
as the increased postage bills charg-
ed to these magazines under the pro
posed rate would be in excess Of S40,-
900 each. The increase in rates
levied on the few survivors Of this
strain, they said, would have to be
passed on to the reader, not merely
in the form of higher subscription,
but as an increased advertising tax
on many articles Of food, apparel. or
toilet and househo1 use.
Suspension of publication by mag
azines would throw out of employ
ment thousands who have devoted
their lives to the printing, engraving,
electrotyping and allied trades.

GERMANS STORM
CUSTOMS HOUSE
TO Get PERMITS
No Appeal Nor Bonds For
Those Without Passes
Who Are Arrested.

Although they have been repeatedly
advised that there would be no one at
the Room 8 of the federal building to
issue permits to them until Thursday
at the earliest, German residents of
the city are so anxious to obtain their
passes that they have been coming in
numbers to the headquarters every
day.
In his announcement yesterday,
United States Marshal Chester c..
Middlebrook of Hartford, again en-
phasized the fact that German aliens
without passes who ventured into the
prohibited area for amy purpose after
June l. would he summartly arrested
and detained. Such an arrest will not
afford any chance for a hearing be-
fore court or an appeal or the fur
nishing of bonds for appearance for
trial. If the government authorities
believe it is for the best interests of
the country, the aliens will be kept in
Jail during the war.

BRIDCEPORTERS
In BATTLE line
AT WEST FRONT
Friends Here Receive, Word
of Privates Mannion, Har-,
ris and Snader.
WORK In AMERICAN
AMBULANCE FORCES
Plan to Join Foreign Lega-
tion at Expiration of
-. Present Service.

Howard Mannion, who left this city
about three months ago to join the
American ambulance forces in France,
has been heard from by friends in this
city. He reports the arrival of Ernest
Snader and John Harris, also of
Bridgeport, who are employed in the
same service with base hospitals at
Paris.
Mannion Is driving an ambulance
and often sees service at the front.
Because of lack OF sufficient an1bu-
lances to keep all drivers busy, Sna-
der and Harris are in the hospital
staff. They have been at the battle
line.
So enthusiastic are the Bridgeport
boys that they declare upon the ex-
piration of their ambulance service
enlistment all will join the regular
fighting forces of France in the For
eign Legion.
The necessity OF the average Amer
lean learning the words to the '4Star
Spangled Banner is pointedIy shown
in a paragraph OF letter received
this week in which Mannfon details a
humorous incident connected with
Americans serving in Paris At a
concert in which the entire ambulance
corps participated, singers and others
entertained in the French language.
At the conclusion it was suggested to
nearly 100 Americans present that it
would he patriotic for them to sing
the '+Star Spangled Banner A-
though only three present knew all
the words, by volume of sound and
lack OF familiarity of the audience
with the English language, American
bluff saved the day and provoked sus-
tained cheering and applause at the
conclusion. Mannion asserts that all
Americans who participated in the
1mpromptu event are now fully cog
infant Of every word contained in the
American anthem.
The letter relates how Snahier and
others worked with wheelbarrow
piling up sand for defensive lines
against enemy bullets. .5.--.
