BRITAIN PREPARING
TO cONScRipT CASH

LONDON, Oct 10--England has
another shock in store for that sec
ton of America which hates to see
wealth do its bit. England is prepar-
ing to conscript alphabetically.
There has been great deal of talk
about CONSUMPTION of wealth in con
nection with the war, but it has meant
only high income taxes, excess prof
its and levies of that sort The Brit
ish government yesterday has prac-
tically decided to take the next step
and levy directly on capital. Barring
a change of opinion in the meantime
on the part of those responsible for
the British financial policy, such a
levy will be made soon after the war
ends. This, possibly the most radi
cal financial innovation that has re-
suited from the war, is due to the
conviction that it is the best way to
meet the financial conditions the war
will leave. 8.

Cecil Kane. his newsboy friend. be-
fore May 10. That's the last day OF
the term of court in which he can
hope TO win his appeal from sen.
tence to McNeil's island.
This was the assertion OF William
II. Bell. Billingsley's attorney. to-
day. following the granting OF lib
erty to Fred Billingsley on $4,000
bail yesterday by Federal Judge
Neterer on the formers appeal to
the L. s. circuit court OF appeals
from his sentence OF six months at
the Whatcom county farm
Judge Neterer indicated that he
would grant Logan his liberty on
appeal bail as soon az he surren-
dered and was actually in custody
OF the court again.
Logan escaped from the immigra-
tion detention station after he was
sentenced to l3 months at McNeil's
island for his part OF the whisky

acquittal OF Mayor Gill
II is thought that he felt sure OF
gaining his liberty by appeal from
Judge Neterer's refusal 10 allow
him 10 change his plea OF guilty to
one Of not guilty. and that he es.
capped in a desperate effort TO avoid
going TO McNoil's island. even for
