EXPRESSES GRATITUDE
IN SMUGGLED LETTER
Cardinal Mercier Thanks Philadel-
phia for Its Gift Of $500.
Praises American Nation.

PHILADELPHIA. May 8.-Smuggled
through the German lines in Belgium,
a letter from Cardinal Mercier, the ia
nous Belgian prelate. has reached the
local Belgian relief committee. thank
ing Philadelphia for its birthday gift of
$500 to the cardinal last November
The letter is dated February 1S, hav-
ing taken more than ten weeks to come
from Malines.
The letter, addressed especially to the
people of Philadelphia. praises the en-
tire American nation for its generosity
to Belgium.
1t reads:
you have had the touching and deli
cate thought of making a special ap-
peal to the generosity of the fellow
citizens Of Philadelphia on the occasion
of my birthday. 1 have been deeply
to thank the committee most sincerely.
1t is a great comfort to feel ourselves
thus supported financially and morally
by the noble American people. They
are deeply enamored Of liberty and
realize that our cause is not that OF a
small territory. hardly perceptible on
the map of the world. but 1t is the
cause of right and humanity. The fact
that you understand us is a compen-
sation for the oppression that tempo
rarily weighs on us, and helps US to
wait. without yielding, for our liberia
ton.
"I beg the committee to accept, with
the renewed expression Of my graft
tude. my respectful and devoted homage.

Forecasts of Little Value.

The pending proposition before the
committee, which seems most in favor,
Is reducing the subcommittee recon-
mendation of 16 per cent express pro-
fits tax to IL per cent. but that may be
changed again. Few details on the
bill of a dependable character are
available, and it is generally conceded
that forecasts will be practically
valueless and nothing positively de-
cided until the bill is finally reported
to the House.
A member of the majority of the
committee said this morning it is hard
" probable that the bill will be finish
ed by tonight.

Local Movement One Month
Old and So Far Only 800
Have Subscribed.
STATEMENT BY CHAIRMAN

One month today-the American Red
Cross and it's 400 chapters in all the
states of the Union have been watching
the fund being raised in Washington
for support of Red Cross activities as
an example for the entire country.
Nearly s150,0o0 has been pledged and
nearly two-thirds of this has been paid
in cash And thus far only about 500
persons have subscribed.
Speaking for the finance committee, in
charge of this collection, Henry B. f.
mcfarland, tho chairman. said today
that Washington was well able to give
much more and would undoubtedly
do so.
THE bank deposits of Washington
now stand at los millions" he said,
ten millions more than last May, so 1t
is evident that Washington, though not
rich, is not poor"
Vice President Marshall has repeated
his fifty-dollar contribution and hopes
but does not pledge-a monthly gift
of that amount.
The office staff of the National Geo
graphic Society sent, through Gilbert
H. Grosvenor, $201.
w. w. Bowie, railroad member of the
Rotary Club, handed in subscriptions
in the sum of $955.50 of himself and
other railroad men.

"Star Chamber" Protests Heard.

When the subcommittee was preparing

the denunciations of star chamber

followed, the erstwhile grumblers being

TAX BILL IS PROVING
HARD PUZZLE TO SOLVE
New Complications Keep Arising to
Prevent an Agreement on
the Answer.

Who remembers the old-time puzzle of
"16-15-14." when you moved the blocks
around, trying to get the numbers to run
consecutively?
Well. that's just about what the ways
and means committee is doing in framing
its new tax bill Every time suitable
combination seems in sight somebody
moves block-that is to say. eliminates
a tax or adds one-and the whole thing
has to be gone over again. Up to this
morning the committee had reached with
in about s165, 100000 of the revenue esti-
mated by Secretary McAdoo as necessary

taxable objects to conquer, a consumption
