People Favor War Tax Plan
Found Disposition Everywhere Support Raising Of
81 800 900 900 by Levy Now, Says Secretary-Sent-
ment of West Is That Uncle Sam Shall Not Be Licked

passed the demonstrations of patriot
ism and enthusiasm were wonderful
Everywhere assurances were given OF
cordial support Of the government;
everywhere intense desire was exhibit
ed to bring the war TO a quick and sue
cessful conclusion; everywhere there
was eagerness 70 learn how each citizen
best could help the government in car
rying on the war.
1.-THE sentiment throughout the West
may be summed up as follows: This
war was forced on Uncle Sam. Now
that he is in il, we don't intend that ne
shall be licked
Nothing could be more inspiring
than the unity and enthusiasm of the
people. All political differences and
racial antagonisms have disappeared
before the united purpose to uphold
Americas right and reestablish peace
and liberty throughout the world"
Much still has TO be done, the Sec
rotary finds. to make the Liberty Loan

poets it to be.
"While there is everything in the
prospect TO encourage" said he in his
statement, nevertheless ! wish to re-

mism about the Liberty Loan. II the
people are aroused to its Importance
there will be no doubt about its sue
cess, but continuous hard work must
be done until subscription day, June 10
Every Person Must Aid Loan
"There is now an enthusiastic i'm
pulse behind the loan which, IL main

oversubscription. What | said at the
beginning Of the campaign still holds
true, that every man and woman in the
United States must, within thelr
means, subscribe for the loan, no mat

sential to success. Every $50 bod

Agree on $15,OO0,000 In
crease Over House Bills
Levy on Advertising
Plan Direct Auto Tax
Assessment on Manufactures
To Be Considered; Reduc-
tons Total $317,750,O0O

Washington, May 27.-Soluton OF
many difficult problems faces the SEN
ate Finance Committee this week in
continuing revision of the Sl,sOO,OOO,OoU
House war tax bill.
Estimates of revenue from changes
in the House bill already agreed upon
by the committee were announced TO-
night by Chairman Simmons az fol-
lows:
From war excess profits, taxes on
corpsrations, joint stock companies
associations, insurance companies and
partnerships, s550,000,000, an increase
over present excess profits taxes OF
$3.50 100000 and an increase OF Slo0,'
100000 over returns provided in the
House bill.
From new taxes upon advertising OF
all forms. including newspaper. maya.
zine, billboard. poster. streetcar and
others, Sl5,00e,000, a net increase over
the House bill at a general rate OF
probably 2 per cent.
Reductions Only Partly Met
These increased revenue levies, how
ever. but partly offset the slashing re-
auctions already ordered by the COM
mittee in the House bill, aggregatine
s3l7,75O, 900. These were divided as
follows: Rejection of further income
surfaces on persons having incomes
of $40, 900 and above, s66,000,0OO; elimi-
nation of per cent taxes on gross
sales of automobiles and other manu-
features. slls,75O 900; striking out OF
retroactive income taxes, Sl08,000,OOO;
of inheritance taxes, 100000, and OF
zone taxes on second class mail, $751;
100000.
The committee EXPECTS to bring in
large sums from direct automobile
tax and some form Of manufactures tax
TO be substitute for the section
stricken from the House bill. Th-
latter subject will be considered TO-
morrow.
That the House principle Of taxing
manufacturers gross sales had been
definitely and finally abandoned by the
Senate committee as "unsound" was de-
clared tonight by Chairman Simmons
License taxes on the cost or horse
power of motor vehicles, to be paid by
the owners and not manufacturers, are
planned. Stamp taxes on o'1er manu-
features are being considered.
Aim Is General Distribution
The trend of the committees work
thus far, it was officially stated, is tow
ard general distribution and indirect
imposition of the wars tax burden. with
relief of manufacturing, industrial and
business interests from especially heavy
drafts. Consumption taxes on some
merchandise are being considered to
that end.
The liquor, soft drink and general
tariff sections. it is believed, will be
left to the last in the Senate commit
tees deliberations. While it had beer
hoped to complete the redrafting work
this week, Chairman Simmons indicated
tonight that in proceeding carefully
and deliberately the committee might
take considerably longer.

Germany Refuses to
Spare Relief Ships
Suggests That Commission
Charter Steamers as
Escorts

Amsterdam, May 27.-The "Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung," a copy
of which has been received here. con-
tains Germany's reply to the request
Of the Belgian Relief Commission,
made through the Dutch government,
that the commissions vessels now in
England should not be attacked ON the
voyage from the Thames to Rotterdam
and back.
Germany rejects the proposal, say
ing it would mean the suppression OF
submarine warfare on the days the
vessels were passing through the
barred area, as this would be the only
way of excluding the possibility. OF
firing on the ships through mistaken
identity, while the British on the same
days would be enabled without danger
to get food transports from Holland.
Germany proposes that the commits:
sion charter steamers of the iceland
Line and use these with their pre-.
scribed markings as escorts for relief
vessels on the Southwold-Flushing
route.

Refers to Hague Terms

The utilization of these ships will
be found to be justified by the prin-
ciplS of the convention signed at The
Hague in October, 1907. The vessels
will be held without compensation
until we have been able to verify
whether they are properties of pri-
vate character (Which. even in time
of war, must be respected, and which
Brazil will do, or if they belong to
enterprises having some connection
with the German government.
Whatever method is adopted, it is
essential that the government cannot
suffer any delay in taking measures
which are imposed at the same time
by the public interest and by the dig
nifty Of the nation.
Milo Pecsnha. the Brazilian Foreign
Minister, to-day had a long converse
ton with Or. Roy Barbosa, leading
Brazilian statesman. A conference will
be held tomorrow to discuss the ques
ton Of the governments foreign
policy, in which ex-President Rodri
.guez Alves and the Vice-P President o.
the Republic will participate.
The representatives in Congress from
Rio Grsnde do Sui favor the revocation
of the neutrality declaration.

Cuban Sugar Crop Big
Only S Per Cent Les Than
Record Production in 1916

This years Cuban sugar crop will be
approximately 100000 tons, according
to an official statement issued in
Havana. Compared with last years

crease of only 5 per cent.
This showing, in view Of the present
high prices of sugar, and the certainty

Neutrality Decree To Be
Cancelled by Act Now
Before Congress
Nation Is Angered
By New U.Boat Raid
President Braz, in Message,
Says Government Must
Protect Shipping

Rio de Jsneiro, Saturday, May rs
(delayed).-The Committee on For Reign
Relations in the Brazilian Congress
to-day drafted a measure recommend
ing the cancellation Of the decree of
April %, 1917, which declared the neu-
trality Of Brazil in the war between
Germany and the United States. Presi-
dent Braz, under the bill, would be au-
thorized TO take necessary steps for the
carrying out Of this law, and 10 put
into practice "the acts which result
from the cessation Of neutrality"
The Brazilian Foreign Minister to-
day presented TO Congress a message
signed by President Braz. in which 1t
was stated that the sinking Of Bra
lillian merchant ships by German sub
marines obliges the government TO
take measures of defence against the
Teuton U-boats. The utilization. but
not confscation, of German vessels in
termed in Brazilian sesports is sug-
gested.
Message of President Braz
The text Of the message follows:
have the honor TO bring to-day
to your knowledge confirmation OF
the information which we have re-
ceiyed from the Brazilian Legation
at Paris concerning the SINKING OF
another Brazilian merchantmen oy
German submarine.
The entire nation is cognizant OF
the attitude which this government
adopted when Germany announced to
all neutrals the establishment Of a
submarine blockade, restricting. as 1t
did. the freedom of the seas and ex-
tending, without distinction, to coun-
tries not engaged in the conflict-the
most violent process of warfare. The
Brazilian government then formulat-
ed a protest, and after the sinking
OF the steamship Parana broke on
diplomatic relations with Germany.
To-day the sinking of a second
steamship without warning and the
menace Of decreasing constantly our
shipping and foreign commerce
obliges the government TO put into
practice measures of defence to be
suggested by the high advisers of the
National Congress.
However, the government, In sub
hitting this matter for your consid-
Grafton, does not attempt to escape
the responsibility which is incum-
bent in it, or to give frankly its
opinion, which il is its duty TO do.
The utilization of the German
merchantmen interned in Brazilian
seaports appears urgent TO the gov
eminent. The idea of confscation,
however, is excluded. this being re-
pugnant to the spirit of our laws, as
we'll as TO the general feeling of the
country.

Sea Serpent Stealing
U.Boat's Thunder
Berlin Accuses Maine Visitors
of Inventing Submarine
MYTH

Berlin, May 20 (via London, May I'D.
The Associated Press was informed
to-day by officials of the German For
eirn Office that no German naval
forces had been dispatched across the
Atlantic recently. A rumor that a Ger
man submarine was at present in Amer
lean waters was dismissed by the gov
eminent officials as probable inven-
t,on of early summer visitors to the
Maine coast resorts. who are endeavor-
ing to deprive the familiar sea serpent
of its prerogatives."
There have been frequent reports OF
German submarine activity on the At
lantic seaboard. On April II the
American destroyer Smith was said to
have narrowly escaped a torpedo fired
by a German submarine when at
point east Of Ere Island. This report
elected the official denial from the
German Admiralty that any submarine
boats we're in the western half OF the
Atlantic. More recently it was re-
ported that German U-boats had been
sighted OF the Maine coast. According
TO shippers arriving at American ports
last week from Newfoundland, these
reports were inspired by the antics OF
a school Of whales which were disport-
ing themselves in the waters between
Montsuk Point and Newfoundland.

Teaching Your Child the Value of Money Through Experience
 By sIDONIE M GRUENBERG
By sIDONIE Nj. GRUENBERG

| tbe @oor there usually develops rather early in life Il keen appreciation oi the value of meney. Whatever money there is is quickly spent, and comes te represent pretty definitely the ne cessitfes and the luxuries of life. \ nickel means q loaf of bread and penny means q stick of candy. Money is hard to get and good to have. and without it there is privation and mis- cry.
 On the other hand, in the homes of the well-to-do and in the country, where comparatively little cash Is handled. the opportunity to become ac- auainted with the sources and proper ties of money are comparatively mar row. Here people somehow have what they need, and no special effort or hardship is associated with getting these things.
 Money plays so important role in modern life that we are apt to take it fer granted without thinking especially of teaching children what they should understand of the matter. Children should learn these things definitely end practically, beginning as soon IS they are old enough 10 appreciate rela- tive values. A child can begin by buy ing things for the household when he is able to distinguish the coins and count up tie amounts. The age for this will, of course, vary with different children.
 In households that do not manifest through their activities and eanversa- ton the methods by which the family income is obtained children should be explicitly informed on the subject. It is not only embarrassing to the child to display his ignorance when compar- ing notes with other children but it is necessary part of his understanding of the world ta know just how people obtain the precious tokens by means of which they secure all their necessi- ties and luxuries.

Loving a Crouch Away

..s.'.s=s.S There's a look on the face you can love away, There's crease in the brow you can smooth today; There's a gleam in the eye you can change to one That is sweet as the ray of the morn ing sun It's the touch of our loving, the sweet of our wifi, That scatter the shadows of anger and H. There's 8 grouch that you think will be always the same, So grim and so dark; but it goes as it came When you love it away with tender ness born Of the spirit of brightness and glad ness and morn There isn't a grouch ever lived very long Meath the spell of a love that is sweetened with song. You can love it away. love the ache and the care, Love the heart that is heavy with grief and despair, Till it lifts to the sunshine, as flowers in the spring, And responds every time to the song that you sing Forgetting it's wrinkles and creases and frOwn At the touch of loves fingers like velvet of down.

Made Leather From seaweed.

Shark skins are not the only product of the sea one can make leather from. A French chemist more than 30 years ago succeeded in making leather from seaweed by washing it with potash and steaming it in a boiler. The r0- nance of leather lies in the tanning Of it, for the whole vegetable world is pressed into service. Russia leather owes it's delicious aroma to the birch bark it is tanned with, and the inap- preeiative moth so dislikes it that the presence of one volume in a row will keep all free from insects.

Forestry in Germany.

Forestry is one of the chief sources of revenue for the numerous small towns like Oberndorf, Germany, and the conservation of tree wealth has been developed to an almost exact science. Both on the royal land and in the community forests the amount of timber cut annually is not allowed to exceed the annual growth. Numer- ous fir tree nurseries are scattered throughout the region.
