HOUSE ID PASS BIG REVENUE
 BILL TODAY
Will Raise $25O, 900, ,OOO from
 Inheritances and Excess Profits, and Issue $1OO,- 100000 Bonds.
(By Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.-The ad- ministration revenue bill designed to raise about s25O,OOO,OOO by increasing the inheritance tax and by a new tax on excess profits, and containing au- thOrization for an additional bond is sue of Sl0O.OOO.O 900 was taken up in the House today with prospect of passage by tomorrow night.
 Discussion of the measure develop ed into an old time tariff debate The Republicans accredited the prospect i've treasury deficit to Democratic mis- management and eXtrayagance. and extravaganza. and urged as a substi- tute for the administration bill measure to raise the necessary rev enue through higher customs duties. Democratic leaders replied that the shortage was due almost entirely to the Mexican emergency and the unus ual preparedness expenditures, and ar gued that levies on excess profits and inheritances would place the burden where it belongs and would be least felt
 Majority Leader Kitchin had charge of the bill, and the Republican attack was led by Representative Fordney. ranking minority member of the ways and means committee.
 You have been crying prepared ness" Mir. Kitchin told the Republi- cans. until the people think the Japs are coming over from the west and Germany and France and Russia are all coming from the east. The excess profits tax will in large part be paid by those who were loud clamorists for preparedness. who demand of their representatives here these immensely increased appropriations for the army and macy"
 Mir. Fordney said that had the Payne-Aldrich tariff law remained in effect no deficit would be in prospect. despite the expenditure of $160.000,- 900 in farcical chase after Villa.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.- Informa- tion has reached here that Germany and her allies are considering com municating to the state department a virtual warning that Americans should keep off of armed merchant ships of belligerent nations. This be- came known today following the in timation in official circles yesterday that the United States might issue soon a new memorandum setting forth its attitude toward armed mer- chantment.
 It is not known just when or in what manner the warning may be conveyed, but Germany apparently had been paving the way for such a step several weeks past by submitting

First in Three Years.
 There has been no American am bassador at Mexico City since Henry Lane Wilson was recalled after the killing of Madero and Huerta's as- sumption of power and formal diplo- matic intercourse has not existed since Huerta handed Charge Nelson O'Shaughnessy his passports April 9, 1914. upon the landing of American marines at Vera Cruz. The Brazilian minister cared for the interests of the United States for a long time, various unofficial agents have been sent to Mexico on special missions: and since the recognition of the de facto consti- nationalist government subordinate of ficials have been in charge of the en- bassy.
 Carries Stern Policy.
 Ambassador Fletcher will carry with him complete instructions on Ques- tions now pending which President Wilson and Secretary Lansing desire taken up with the Carranza govern ment. These include strong protests already made against provisions of the proposed new Mexican constitution discriminating against foreigners and their interests.
 MT. Fletcher will go by steamer from New York to Vera Cruz and from there to Queretaro or to Mexico City, if by that time General Carranza has re-established his capital there. He IS expected to arrive at his post a few days after the last American soldier has crossed the border into the United States. Captain Frank R. Mccoy, of the Third Cavalry, has been detailed as military attache of the ambassador and with other members of the staff appointed in time, will make the trip with the ambassador.
 Although no official notification of the intention of General Carranza has been received, it is taken for granted that he will reciprocate at once by sending to Washington an accredited
