aside all party differences last night
and gathered in mass meeting in the

country in the present crisis IN the ma
tion's history.
Stirred by addresses of leading men of
this city and the community, which told
of the moves leading up to the present
emergency, and which reminded the Cit
izens of Montgomery county of the pa
triotio record of their forbears, the au-
dienoe emonstrated it's agreement with
the sentiments expressed
In opening the meeting Gist Blair, the
presiding officer, reminded his hearers
that they were there Ito lay aside fac
tional differences and party lines and
stand together as true Americans, united
by the same patriotism to uphold our
government while at war.
We democrats and republicans alike
believe our government represents us
because a majority of our people made
it. he said I'VE know We are the
freest people in the world and select
our own President and Congress, and
we think Europe would not now be at
war had democracy been recognized in
Germany as we recognize II in America
Let US remember we are fighting not
only to right our own wrongs, but hop
ing to establish the principle if war
must occur. those who spill the blood
must first consent to have it spilled in
war. And We are united with our allies
in demanding a larger democracy for
the people of the entire world, the
speaker continued.
I'VE are determined to prevent the
continuance of wrong to our fellow cit
iEenS and We appreciate the immense
stake being played for in the world
which may lift the burden from human
life in other countries" Mr.. Blair con-
ciuded.
Senator Peter G. Gerry Speaks.
Senator Gerry of Rhode Island. an
other speaker, emphasized the need of
the highest patriotism and devotion to
duty at this time. He told his hearers
how the President had labored for
months to And solution of the inter-
national problems which would not
plunge the country into war. and he
cited the continued aggressions which
finally led the President to take the
stand which we now occupy in world
affairs. In his remarks he frequently
urged upon the audience the necessity
for standing behind the country and it's
President.

Blair Lee of Maryland. sis that hers is an
imperial government, while our coun-

pared for years for the present strug-

WAR TAX BILL IN HANDS
Of TREASURY EXPERTS
Measure as Revised by Senate Com
mittee to Be Whipped Into
Legal Form.

The war tax bill. revised by the Sem
ate finance committee, today was IN the
hands of Treasury experts. who be-
into legal form, one of the final steps
before its presentation to the Senate
for consideration. This probably will
be done early in the coming week:
The committee, with its work OF re-
vision almost finished. held no session
today, but Chairman Simmons and
Senator Penrose conferred with Post
Office Department officials and publish
ers' representatives regarding taxes on
newspapers and magazines.
Tax on Automobiles.
Owners of automobiles. not used for
business purposes, are to be taxed after
July l, according to provision writ
ten into the bill The tax is to be
based upon the listed retaii Price epises: al
On motor cycles, $3.50 per annum: cars
costing not over $500, $3.50: over $500
and not over $1,000; $40; over $1,000
and not over $4,000, $40; $4,000 and over,
s25 The tax shall not apply. however.
to cars held for sale by manufacturers
or owners.
A modification to be drafted later will
provide a reduction of 10 per cent in
the license taxes for each years use
of automobiles up to five years. or a
maximum allowance of SO per cent.
Income Tax Clause Amended.
An amendment to the income tax sec
ton repeals the provision of the act of
1913, providing for collection of in
come taxes at their source, and require
those receiving the taxable incomes to
make a direct payment of taxes to the
Treasury. AS a substitute for the pres
ent requirement of collection at the
source the committee adopted a new
principle Of 'information at the source"
requiring corporations and others
under heavy penalties to report to the
Treasury Department the names of per-
sons and amounts of income subject to
taxation. This plan, the committee be-
lieves will prevent much evasion, increase
income tax revenues considerably and
promote honesty Of the laws, its operation
and enforcement Reports will be requir-
ed on all incomes in excess OF $500 an
nually.
Extra Surtax Eliminated.
The committee will make no change
in the income normal tax. surtax and
exemptions of the House bill. except the
elimination, previously agreed upon, of
extra surtaxes on incomes OF more than
| $4,000.
On the theory of exemptions from tax
alton articles used by the poor the COM
mittee in changing cigar taxes decided

made to sell for less than cents each.

GERMANY's HINT OF PEACE
Interpretation Of Michaelis Reich
stag Speech Stirs Bitter Debate.

The Interpretation by Senator
| Lewis, Of Illinois, that the new Ger
man chancellor's recent speech was
a IBID for peace" met much criticism
yesterday in the Senate. King of
utah in a glowing speech. full of fire
and vigor. declared:
$50 far as l am concerned | shall
saw that we are in this fight to win,
and we shall not talk peace until
Germany sues for peace; until the
wrongs which she has committed, IN
til the foul crimes Of which she has
been guilty have been burned away
upon the battlefelds.
LET US talk no more of Chancellor
Michaclis and no more of peace!
LET US prepare for war and fight
this war until we win a righteous
and lasting peace for democracy, for
America and for the world"
Senator Lewis started the peace
discussion, by saying: The speech
of the chancellor is a direct bid to
the United States of America to use
it's influence with its co-partners in
conflict to have hem make a request
for peace. 1t is palpable to me that
in the expression that Germany is
ready for an honorable peace, but
having previously offered it, she will
now look for the terms Of peace to
oe offered by others.
"To my mind this is a bid to the
United States which was the one ma
ton which at one time had submitted
the proposal Of peace without vac
tory. 1t is a bid for us to ask again
either for ourselves or for those with
whom we are cooperating"
Senator Lewis also said:
. Il believe the house of HohcnZoI-
}ern would rather have peace on TIC
allies terms and remain in power
than to have peace on some OF uer-
maDv's terms and be overthrow.
The time is ripe for a truce. feate
