A PACIFIC PORT. Aug. ls.-A Ja- panese mission to the United States arrived here today and proclaimed, aI- most at the moment of landing. that its members came officially "as com rades in ginantic struggle which in wolves the liberties and the sacred rights of mankind

 Tonight he advocated this nations war panoply and it's meaning to Ja- pan.
 America Showing Courage
 We are particularly glad to be here just at this time" he said, when all America is showing courage. patriot ism. energy and whole-hearted zeal. Naturally. Japan is interested in your preparations. We are glad to see them. Not V single sensible person in Japan sees anything in your preparations but great benefit to both countries in the future.
 We have always had confidence in the fundamental justice, sound sense and broad vision of Americans. We are glad of your preparations on land and sea because we believe they mean an earlier peace.
 Tt is not possible or proper for mo to speak of conditions. political or otherwise, on our side of the Pacific We have been oct of touch with the news. and in these days of quick changes it would be unwise to rush into print. Then you will readily un- derstand that cannot we'll discuss the object of my mission. True. there is nothing mysterious about it, and in fact you must all be getting accus- toned to war missions.

All of the gen tlemen who accompany me also con sider themselves fortunate in this op- portunity to renew old friendships.

Youthful British AUiatOr Gets His FOrtieth Plane
(By Review Leased wire)

tby heVleW Leased Wlre.) = R1TISH FRONT IN FRANCE K AND BELGIUM. Aug. 13.- ID Lens was the center of the
 most activity on the British front last night. The Germans continued to exhibit signs of appre- sension in a heavy bombardment of the back approaches near Vimy to the west and northwest of the city.
 The Canadian lines have been gradually tightening about this important French mining center. and the Canadians now hold strong positions in the west of it's en- virons. This apparently has been to the Germans, wh have placed high value on the retention of Lens, because of it's enviable position in the Pas de Ca lais coal fields.
 Yesterday was another big day for the British air squad. A num- Der of battles were fought over this front, with the honors decid- edly in favor of the British. At least six enemy planes were de stroyed and nine other machines were brought down out of con trol.
 in the course of last weeks air fighting one brilliant young Brit isher accounted for his fortieth machine.

 The fuse had burned to a crimp or break where it missed fire. That the bomb was placed by horsemen is lndi- cated by the presence of hoof-marks on the embankment near the outlet of the water main.

 Objectors Must Work.
 ''The object of the law permitting persons to be discharged provided they have persons falling within any of the classes of dependents depend ent upon them was to prevent such de- pendents becoming charge upon the American people" the ruling says. "A dependent residing abroad could not become such a charge. Persons claiming discharge because of such a dependent cannot properly be dis charged on ground that such discharge is advisable within the meaning of the act of congress-"
 That conscientious objectors to war are not to be excused entirely from serving their country was made clear

62 ARIZONA MEN GET COMMISSIONS
 AT THE PRES|D|O
A. A. Hopkins Is Now Cap tain; Shambaugh, First Lieutenant; L. w. Douglas and H. E. Hodgson, Second Lieutenants.
(By Review Leased Wire.)


 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.-Names of the men who have won army com missions from the Reserve Officers Training Camp at the Presidio were announced here tonight. Approximate ly fourteen hundred of the flower of the country's young manhood changed the red, white and blue hat coard of the candidate for the gold and black cord of the commissioned officer and hastened to place orders for uniforms, leather puttees, swords and spurs, shedding the private's khaki, now bad ly worn which they donned at the op- ening of the camp.
 The men came from Arizona, Cali fornia, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Wy oming, New Mexico, Oregno. Utah and Washington, and were nearly three thousand strong when camp op- ened May Is. The unsuccessful ones were rapidly culled, beginning the first day singly and in groups. Some six hundred losers remained until about ten days ago, standing test after test and finally failing of recommendation only because still better men were available. Many of these who failed to be recommended needed the advice of the War Department that they en- list in the ranks with immediate rec ommendation for sergeancies and a chance at commissions later. Some few were recommended for further training at the next camp which opens ta the Presidio August 27.
 Men Are Praised.
 Colonel Fred W. SIaden, command ant of the camp, said:
 'The men commissioned are splen- did examples of American manhood. Regardless of age or rank all have been subjected to the same individual training and discipline that they will be expected to exact of their future commands. The manner in which they have gone at the work and the inn provement they have shown from day to day has been a great pleasure to their instructors. They are deserving of great commendation for the sue cess of their efforts We have faith in them. Many good men failed to gain commissions simply because they lacked in different respects some of the many qualifications required of men who are to be leaders in our new national army"
 The names of those Arizona men recommended or retained for commis- sions and their grades follow:
 Majors.
 Edwin A. Sherman, Arizona Infan- try.
 Captains.
 Edward J. Mitchell, Prescott.
 Alfred H. Gale. Prescott.
 C. l.. Queen, First Arizona Infantry. E. R. Coplin, Douglas.

Cornelia, Ga, April 10, 1917.
The Atlanta Constitution,
Atlanta, Ga.
Gentlemen: | have just finished
reading your editorial in this morn
ings issue Of the Constitution under
the head: "A Patriotic Address, "
the account Of T. X Oglesby's Me-
mortal Day address, and | wish to
say q word in defense Of the Old Vets
who wrote that protest to the Daugh-
ters Of the Confederacy in Macon as
/ believe that they have been mis-
understood or grossly misrepre
sented.
1t was not because Bishop Kelley
was a Catholic that suat protest was
made as you are bound to know il
you read their litter to the Daugh-
ters. Does it mean nothing for this
subject of an Italian Pope to publish
to the world that the entire body of
the States Representatives is a body
of 'Black guards and "Ignoramuses"
and not worthy OF the name of
Gentlemen" as this same Bishop
Kelley said of our Representatives
just after they had passed the Weary
Bill? Does it mean nothing to these
Old Vets that he should insult the
Governor Of this State as he did, and
does it mean nothing to them and
the other citizens of the State when
he defeS the State and its authorities
to carry out the provisions of this
law? Is it nothing that he should
promulgate Papal Decree pro-
nouncing all marriages illegal and
void that are not performed by
Roman Catholic priest, and stigma
thing the wives and mothers Of these
same Old Vets as "flthy ccncubines'
because they were not married by q
Roman priest? Is it nothing to you
that the law of his church should
thus stigmatize your wife and
mother?
Not many months ago you pub
lished in your columns an account of
a divorce proceeding in the city of
Macon, wherein the sole cause for
divorce was this same Papal law
which forbids marriage between a
Protestant and Catholic unless con-
sunmated by q Roman Catholic
priest Does it mean nothing to us
when foreign law at variance with
our laws are introduced among us
resulting in the breaking up OF
otherwise happy homes? When you
have answered these questions read
again the letter Of protest from these
Macon Veterans and see if they are
so intolorart and unDatriotic as they
have been accused OF being.
Yours very truly,

SENATOR BoRAH AGAINST
OUR AIDING THE ALLIES
Will Support Plan to Defend Honor,
But He Balks at Loan or Sending
Army to Europe.

Washington.-Sena Borah, men,
Der of the senate committee on for
eign relations, Saturday gave out this
statement, which is certain to create
a sensation in administration and con-
gressional circles.
cit is my purpose to support the
government in any measure neces-
sary for the maintenance of it's honor
and the protection of the lives of our
citizens. But if the program includes
anything like loaning the credit of
the government or opening the public
treasury to any European nation or
sending our soldiers to the trenches
European powers, shall not support
that part of the program.
"I want to protect American lives
and American rights wherever and
by whomsoever assailed, whether in
Mexico or in Europe by one belliger-
ent or another. But will support
no alliance, and that, in my judgment
is the thing for which great many
people are driving rather than for
the protection of American citizens.''
Put another way this means that
Senator Borah, figure of influence
in the senate, is willing to stand for
armed neutrality, but not for any one
of the other degrees of delinquency
that have been advocated.
Cummins, Norris, Kenyon and Jones
are regarded as very likely to fol-
low Borah's example.

MAKE THE RICH PAY
COST OF THIS WAR
NEW, DRASTIC REVENUE LAW
PROPOSED WOULD coNFIs-
CATE EXCESS PROFITS.
CONGRESS LEADERS IN FAVOR
BY Its Terms All Personal Incomes
in Excess Of $4,000 per Year
Would Have to Pay As Long
az the War Lasts.

Make the wealthy bear the larger
proportion of the expense of war.
This is the purpose of new reve-
nue. bill which is being considered by
the administration according to infor-
nation from Washington, D. C. Many
of the leaders of congress are declar-
ed to be in favor of the plan.
Under the terms of the proposed
measure all personal incomes to ex-
cess of 100000 year would be con-
scripted by the government during
the period of a war with Germany.
Drastic increases in the tax rates
on incomes under that amount are
also contemplated. These would range
from per cent on the smaller ones
to so per cent on those between $780,
900 and 100000 year.
Make Big Boost in Income.
1t is estimated that such a law
would produce between $4,000, 100000
and $3,000,OOO,OO0 a year, which the
administration believes would be adj
equate for the necessities of the coun-
try. The purpose of such a measure,
according to it's sponsors would be to
force wealth to bear it's share of the
burden of the war.
That such law would kill the cry
that war is waged for the benefit of
the immensely rich, by wiping out
the excess profits heretofore derived
from war, is the belief Of its back
ers. 1t would also tighten the burden
of bonded Indebtedness to be placed
on future generations, 1t is declared.
1t is also urged that it would compel
the men who do not give military
service to pay for the service of 9th
ers in proportion to their ability.
In order to effect this, a large por-
ton of the revenue derived from the
confiscated incomes would be used
for the support of the families of men
who volunteered or were drafted into
the army and the navy. Under the
plan as advanced, capital would be
left intact and only the income taxed.
confiscate Excess Profits.
Profits of corporations in excess of
or per cent would be confiscated
by the government, under the terms
of the proposed measure, instead of
levying tax of 8 per cent on all
corporations incomes of over per
cent, as is done under the present
revenue bill. A confiscatory inherit
ance tax also has been proposed.
Senator Simmons of North Caro-
lima, chairman of the senate finance
committee, has worked out plan
with the following provisions:
Reduce Income Exemptions.
Increase the excess profit taz
from to is or 25 per cent. Increase
of the income tax, including a reduc
ton of the exemption from $4,000 fol
married men and $4,000 for single men
to $500. Increase of the inheritance
tax. Increased taxes on beer, whis
ky, tobacco and sugar, and taxes on
coffee and tea, with possible revi
val Of the stamp tax.
| Senator Simmons believes an add
tional billion dollars revenue would
| be realized during the next year.

er, slipped past the British warships
on guard in the North sea, has reach
ed the south Atlantic and sent II
more merchantmen to the bottom.
According to survivors from the
sunken vessels, the raider is the See
adler (Sea Eagle), a formidably arm

success and daring as its predecessor,
the Moews, which recently returned
to German port after playing havoc
with shipping to the same waters.
News of the activities of the raider
was brought to Rio Janeiro by the
French bark Cambronne, which ar
rived here April 1. She had on board
285 men from the crews of vessels
sunk by the raider.
