Government Will Remove Negro
 T rnnns From Texas,

WNSllINGTON. Aug. 2I. Tine negro troops engaged in the riot at llous
 tom last night will be immediately
 withdrawn from Texas, according 1o a statement made by Secretary of War Baker today. Baker did not say where the troops will be sent to al- though 1ntimating that in future they will be kept out of the southern states as the general attitude of the whites renders the problem of quar- tcring them in the southern sections one of pcrpIcXing difficulties to the department. Baker said that to let the negroes remain in the south was simply to invite further trouble. IL is expected that the negro regiment will be sent to France for training

TO coNsCRIPT THE INCOMES.
Millionaires Are Urging Congress To
Take over All Incomes Over
One Hundred Thousand,

A marked impression was made on
the Congressional Ways and Means
committee Wednesday by the testi-
mony of several milliOnaires who ask
ed the committee that their incomes
be conscripted for war purposes.
Among those VINO appeared were Sum-
neT Gerard, Amos PinchOt and Robert
Scripps, representing f. w. SCripps
They asked for a graduated increase
on the super.taX on incomes and a TAX
ing over by the government of all in
comes over 100000
You have helped the committee
very much, gentlemen" said Chair
man Claude Kitchin 1T is a new ex-
perience to listen to men who are not
trying to get us to tax the other fel-
low.
I'VE have on our hands the prob
lem of raising ,6OO,OOO,OOO Of new
revenue by taxation"
The Democrats have indicated their
approval of the plan to take all or
nearly all incomes above 100000
LOngworth favors the principle, but
leans toward the plan to take only
about 90 per cent of incomes above
100000.
What would you think of a plan" +"
asked Longworth, "tO take about $45,-
600 from every income of 100000?
That would be about four times what
we are taking now"
Pinchot thought this would be let
ting the rich off easy.
Il am no more anxious to get rid
of my income than other people are" 1"
he said.
" like money and what it will buy,
but | realize war is not a pink tea
and when we are asking other people
to give their lives-the rich should not
hesitate to deny themselves a little
and get along on a pittance like $780,
600 a year"

U. S. TROOPS TO WAR ZONE,
Preparations Are Being Made For an
Early Participation in Actual
Warfare.

The French commissioners have as.
surances that the American govern.
ment is willing to send troops to
France-one of the urgent reCommen.
dations they brought to this country
when the allies believe they can af
ford to spare the necessary ships for
transporting an army and its equip
ment across the Atlantic.
The administration has put aside
the objection Of the army general staff
to sending any troops to the battle
front until big force has been raised
and trained for nearly a year, and
has decided that for the sake of the
moral effect of Americas actual par.
ticipation, a small contingent shall go
forward as soon as possible.
This will be soon, it is believed, al.
though the government is mindful
that nearly 100000 tons of shipping
would be required for a regular army
division of 24,O00 men and the same
amount would have to be diverted
IRON carrying food
Whether the force to carry the stars
and stripes into battle in France
shall be made up Of regulars or ma.
tional guardsmen, or both has not
been worked out
State department officials have con.
tinuously urged the sending OF an
army solely for its psychological eff.
feet, not only in encouraging the al.
lied troops, but in discouraging the
Germans.

NO GRAIN SHORTAGE AS VET.
Grain Men Say II Is Lack Of Trans
portation and Speculation That
Has Raised Prices.

That there is no grain shortage in
this country especially as to corn and
oats, and that the apparent shortage
OF grain products is due to lack of car
accommodations is asserted by Off
GERS Of the Grain Dealers National
Association and representatives of the
Farmers Union.
Representative men in the grain line
are in Washington to confer with the
national defense council, the secretary
OF agriculture and the members of the
International Commerce Commission.
To the latter organization they will
recommend that the railroads be com
PEELED to furnish an adequate supply
OF cars to move the grain now stored
in the farmers warehouses of the
west The supply OF corn and oats is
said to amount to a surplus, while the
stock of wheat now stored in ware
HOuSto 10 lcpltStllltu dS SllOlli luOuBu
a plenty for the needs of the consum-
ers of the United States. Locked up
in the farmers warehouses of the
west are said to be millions of bushels
of grain and this enormous supply OF
foodstuff only awaits railroad accom-
modations for general distribution.
The recent sensational advance in
the price of wheat, the grain men say,
was without warrant, so far as the &C
tual situation is concerned. They aver
that the supply of last years wheat is
ample to carry the United States over
to the new crop, and as to corn and
oats there is a surplus. The trouble
is insufficient railroad accommoda-
tions for the proper distribution Of
this big stored amount of grain.
The railroads, it is claimed, have
been obliged to furnish cars for the
movement of war materials until their
equipment is all but paralyzed. The
grain men are insistent that there is
no shortage of grain that cannot be
overcome by adequate railroad accom-
mOdatiOns.

C. H. BROUGH,
Governor of Arkansas.
Administration plans for raising an
army on the principle of universal liza
bility to service are based on select
i've cOnsCriptiOn of young men to be
summoned to the colors as rapidly as
they can be trained and differed A
detailed scheme for the registration of
eligibles has been worked out
After married men, others with de.
pendents, those whose service is re-
quired in industries have been ex-
empted, others within the age limits
fixed will be examined physically, and
those found fit, will be selected pos
Sibly by lot, until the first 100000 to
be trained are secured.
1t is clear that 100000 is nowhere
near the limit needed, and that it is
expected that more than 100000 avail
able will be found in the first classi,
fiCatiOn. Others will be trained as
rapidly as possible by officers from
the regular army, national guard and
officers reserve corps.
