Instead they were pinched but il took nineteen
months to start them on the road to the pen.

Recasting the Revenue Bill.

The senate is making fairly rapid progress
with its big job OF recasting the hastily formed
revenue law passed by the house. Very general
reductions so far announced may be taken as
presaging determination on part of the senate to
lower considerably the amount that is to be raised
Immediately for war purposes. Several Of the
novel sources OF revenue proposed in the house
measure have been abandoned, while old familiar
forms of taxation have been retained. The prn-
ciple involved in taxation, that of sezins no more
of the income OF the country than may be taken
without endangering extension Of productive en-
terprise and to establish the balance between the
amount to be Immediately paid and that which is
to be set over for the future, is being more
scrupulously applied in The senate. The measure
is not yet sufficiently advanced to give an ac-
curate idea OF what levies finally will be made,
but the cut Of s3ooo0O0OO already announced is
likely to be increased. Until the bill emerges
from conference much OF uncertainty must pre-
vail, and business conditions necessarily will be
disturbed to that extent Undue haste is not to
be desired when great revenue measure is being
framed, but the sooner the senate gets through
with its present job, the quicker the country can
get down to real work on its war basis.

minder Of the work left unfinished along the. Mex
ian border, His ability to remain in the field at

PEELED to use considerable part Of its available
force to guard its citizens against the predatory
activity OF bandit belonging to aneighbor with

potence OF the Carranza administration is mani

But Let Us Not Fool Ourselves. ,

With the rules and admontions of the COM
mttee on Public Information with reference to
printing items that may be useful to the enemy,
no patriotic newspaper will find serious fault,
for the rules laid down are in substance precisely
those every well-meanng editor would lay down
for himself. Oversights and mistakes Of judg-
ment may permit publication of information to
which exception will be taken, but with the arter
les OF news dissemination officially supervised and
censored such unintentional slips are not likely
to be numerous. There is, however constantly
this danger: that the zeal OF the censorship to
keep information away from the enemy may re-
suit in keeping our own people in the dark and,
therefore, receptive to all Sorts OF nsidious gossip
and false reports. We naturally expect to keep
ourselves fairly well posted as to the movements
and the strength and weakness Of the enemy and
it is no concession to the efficiency OF the Ger
man secret service for TO proceed on the theory
that the Germans will keep themselves reasonably
well posted as to what is doing over here. The
prospect of fooling the Germans by news re-
striction is small where the dangerous conse-
quences OF fooling ourselves are great.

Russia's Fair Promises to America.

Prof Boris Bakhmetief new Russian am
bassador to the United States, heralds his ap-
proach with fair words from Toxic 1t Is easy
for Us to comprehend that Russia's aim is similar
to our own, the elevation of democracy and the
establishment Of peace on the firm footing Of
government by the people themselves. The ele-
ment represented by Prof. Bakhmetief, the
middle class of Russian society, is in full accord
with American thought along these lines. Its
problem is not so much to convince Americans
as to hold the Russians in line. Assured OF the
unrelenting hostility Of the reactionary aristo-
cracy, the new government has on the other hand
the greater work OF restraining and directing the
masses into the orderly operations and activities
OF their new life. Peasants and laborers, long
submerged in the hopeless darkness, OF despotic
oppression, find the strong light of freedom too
much for their powers Of vision, and blindly go
about tasks to which they are unaccustomed and
for which in a great measure they are untitled.
These must be brought 10 development where
their strength may be integently directed fer the
good of all. Statesmen ii America fully appre-
cate the perplexities Of the new regime in Russia,
and want to help in every way to bring about the
perfect fruiton OF the revolution. Fair promises
from the men at the head Of the new government
are encouraging, but frank dealing is also re-
quircd, and mutual confidence will bring general
benefit

Readjusting the Army Unit.

Latest reports in regard to the formation OF.
the new army indicate reduction in the numeri-
cal strength OF the division, which has come to
be accepted as the tactical unit of an army The
brigade is also to be reduced while the company
and battalion will be increased in size. These
changes will in some ways increase the mobility
and will simplify the administrative work Of hand
ling the men. The real unit Of the American army
has always been the individual soldier. The
American soldier leads the world in point OF in
itiative OF ability to take care of himself under
any circumstances, and to remain effectively in
action when his. officers are missing. This dis
tinguishing quality has long been recognized, with
the accompanying condition that its maintenance
calls for uncommon efficiency Of the company
commanders, on whom falls the task of directing
the potential energy Of the individual soldier.
More general officers will be needed under the
new plan, which will facilitate troop movements,
as it reduces the size Of the bodies under conf
mand Of division and brigade officers, making the
unit for tactical manipulation more flexible and
responsive. Decided advantages will follow This
arrangement, although these will be of char
acter more appealing to the trained soldier than
to the layman who will concern himself chiefly
with results obtained.
The order just now Is interesting as proof
that our general staff is ready to apply lessons
learned from the present war, and that when our
army does enter the conflict il will be on a basis
that has avoided all the early mistakes Of the
other nations
