HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF,

a new public danger threatens, 3:
England in the difficulties d. burying
the dead, 1t is caused by the scarcity
of undertakers, coffin-makers and
grave-diggers, and has resulted in de-
LAYING funerals for days, condition
which, if aggravated by an epidemlie'
would become very serious. To fore
stall that danger, and also to remedy
the present situation, compulsory
cremation is being advocated:
The history Of the ravages OF the
plague in London two centuries ago
is, akin to prevailing conditions IN
England at this time. During that
terrible period undertakers, hearse
drivers and grave-diggers were
worked night and day and the VIC
tins Of the black death were buried
in trenches. The doleful rumble OF
death carts was heard in the streets
of the city night and day. Those In
charge would place their ears to Key
holes in the doors of houses. When
thew heard no sounds within they
broke in the doors to find sometimes
fathers and mothers of families
dead and infant children, greatly
emaciated, trying to obtain nourish-
ment from dead mothers. The corpses
WERE take from the houses placed IN
carts and dumped into trenches oy
NIGHT It was necessary to keep the
men thus employed under the in
fluence of liquor all the time.

WILSON'S ADDRESS

1t is generally admitted that Presl-
dent Wilson's address to the Senate
Yesterday was mastery effort ana
should have the effect Of concentrat-
ing the attention of the American
neople upon the question of TINS
country's relation to the terms Oh
peace which shall bring the great
war to conclusion, and particularly
to that definite concert OF power
which shall guarantee peace IN the
future. 1t is a bold utterance in it's
assumption that peace, if it is to De
lasting, must come without victory
It will irritate both groups OF con-
tending nations, But neither OF them
will be able to ignore it and neither
of them. in view of the unansWer-
able logic of those paragraphs refer
ring to this country's interest IN a
settlement that will create peace
worth guaranteeing and preserVihs'
will deny, the Presidents right TO
speak.
As is suggested by one Of our CO.
temporaries, if the peace that ends
this war is to last, it must be based
upon Justice; it must bring humllia-
tion to no nation; it must guarantee
equality of rights to all, little as wei
as big; it must insure security OF
life, of worship, of social ana III
dustrial development to all peoples
that is the Presidents text. VI Inc
detailed terms of such a peace ne
does not speak, EXCEPT in his refer 7
ences to Poland. But as to the souhe,
ness of the general principles stated
so felicitously there will be httie
dispute in this country.
1t is generally agreed that II Sucl
peace as the President outlines can
he secured, then the United states
will ioin the other civilized nations
Of the world in guaranteeing Its per
manence.

nation" Senator Johnson of Califor.
MIA also advocated call for volun-
teers to place an American force il
Europe Immediately. After the Nc
Kellar amendment had been rejected
Senators Kirby. Hardwick ani Gronna
protested against conscription.
| Senator Trammell reopened the
draft question by offering an amend
| ment proposing to substitute the vol
unteer system throughout the bill.
1t was rejected by an Overwhelming 6
roar of "noes"
In the house there was no roll call.
| The long fight came to a close early
in the afternoon when Representative
Kahn Of California moved to strike
out the volunteer provision written
. into the bill by the house military
committee. AS the result became ap-
parent the members and those in the
galleries broke into cheers, while
Speaker Clark, Chairman Dent Of the
military committee, Chairman Pad
sctt of the naval committee and other
Democrats who had fought the ad-
mini"tratiOn plan sat silent. Miss Ran
kin OF Montana voted with the vol
unteer advocates.
Throughout the remainder of the
house debate pro-volunteer members
frequently reopened discussion Of
their proposal, the climax coming
when Speaker Clark declared he
might drive out of his district some
OF those who had urged that he vote
for conscription.
"a lot of old sIlunkers all over the
countrJ' who think that nobody is go
ing to be forced into this war except
boys from 10 to 25," the speaker said.
'and that their miserable, cowardly
hides will be safe, have been sending
kilograms here. I know them. I
know every man in my district who
has telegraphed me and know who
Is at the bottom of 1t, and I can take

out of my district every man who
sent me a telegram to vote for con-
scription, and, if school does not keep
too long, l will run a few out. too"

FIGHT ON WAR TAX BILL.

he Prepared to Object to Provisions.
Washington, April 29.-Unofficial
accounts of the work Of the house
ways and means subcommittee franz
ing the war tax bill have aroused
something of a storm among both
Democrats and Republicans. Demo-
Gratis are understood TO be divided or
the proposed income taxes, particu-
larry the rate on incomes of more
than 100000, while Republicans
threaten trouble over the subcommit-
tees plans for taxes on excess profits
and incomes. They also promise to
make a fight on tariff legislation to
raise part OF the $500, 600, 900 or
more to be provided during the COM
ing year.
Reports that the income exemption
for single persons had been lowered
by the subcommittee to $1,000 came
as surprise to other committeeman.
The understanding reached at an
early meeting Of the full committee
was that this exemption should be
$1,000, and objection to the $1,000
proposal probably will be non-partisan
and strong.
Amendment of the excess profits tax
law to include many corporations and
persons not now embraced instead of
merely increasing the present rates,
as now proposed, will be urged Wig
orously by Republicans.

again advancing Their progress is
slow, but there are many signs. how
sver, Of the resumption Of fighting on
a more terrific scale soon. Not the
least Of these are the frantic appeals

throughout Germany as the result of
the seething discomfort among the

granted that there will be a. strike
throughout Austria Hungary on May
1st, but urges that it be limited to one
day.
Germany appears to be divided into
three great factions with feeling
of growing bitterness The old junk-
ers still talk Of victory, annexations
and indemnities; the Socialist major
ity seeks to force the government to
declare that it desires neither anpex-
ations nor indemnities: the third led

an unknown but considerable number
of workers, seems to want peace inn
