Younger Men May Replace
Elders in Army Places

Washington, d. c.. May 1O.-Selec-
tion of general officers is the biggest
problem confronting the War Depart
ment with regard to the new army,
according to military experts here
The age of many generals" in the
source of surprise to both the British
and the French commissions.
The greatest blunder of both Brit
tsh and French Governments concern
ing their respective military forces. it
was admitted, was the placing of old
senior Officers in high command. As
the war fought itself out. this tre-
mendous mistake was recognized, and
during the last six months has been
partially remedied. The process of
wedding out the older officers and sub
stttuttng younger men is proceeding
rapidly, both in France and in Eng
land. The changes made in both
armies have been radical and rapid.

Bills to Colleagues

Members of the House of Represent
atives were in "show me" mood yes
terday and the late afternoon session
was marked by skirmishing all along

along state roads. whether owners are
willing or not, was assailed by Phila :

Walter had explained what 1t meant
to rural townships.

Dauphin county tax receiver was laid
over at the request of Messrs. Lanius
and Spangler, York, who will discuss
1t. but the Spangler third class city
planning commission bill went
through without trouble, only a few
members voting against it and some
of those came from York and ad-
joining counties.
Mr.. Cook, York, got the idea that
the Siggins bill to reorganize the bu-
reau of township highways meant
more jobs and started a crusade.

others against it.

the House, being reported from COM
mittee. 1t is the bill to boost the

eral salary raiser is in hand.

building inspection in the State De-
partment of Health and for an addi-
tional judge in Montgomery county
were returned to the House with neg

CONF1SCATION FOR WAR.

There * a vast difference in princi-
pie between a progressive income tax
and the suggestion that has been made
AT Washington TO cpnfiscate for wal
purposes all incomes In excess o!
$i0h. SEQ a year,
No one viii deny that the larger tht
income the heavier ought to be the in
come tax. simply because the amount
taken nv the government will be miss.
ed less by the person with the large
income. But at the same time TO con
fisCate all the income above a certain
amount would mean stopping the ac-
cumulation Of new capital and the linn
itation Of commercial development.
Any ma will work to increase his
Income. ven though the government
tax is heavy. provided that when the
tax on the Increase is paid he still has
left more than he had before. His ef-
fort receives some reward.
Contiscation of income above a GER
tain amount will make stale individ-
ual enterprise. for If the government
is to take all ones income above Il GER
tain amount. why should II strive tc
get IA income larger than the min
imum allowed?

would rather see somebody else fight

into the thick OF the fray with a flag in

Every town and hamlet had its star

hurled defiance at the foe between CO.
pious chews OF tobacco. As soon as
the call for volunteers came, however,
thousands of these orators d~isappeared'
from sight and had to be dragged out
of a hair trunk in the attic. with terror
all over their knee joints. This
Iirnpresscs the lesson thai you never
can tell by the size OF a mans NOUN
how far his spinal column VIII carry
him in the hour OF need.
The lingo has always tried TO plunge
this country into a war which other
people would have to fight. his is be-
cause the average lingo has never been
in battle himself and doesn't kno"
what it feels like. If all the jingoes
who nave been doing business on the
American continent for the past twenty
years could be gathered together ana
thrust into the first line trenches IN
northern France. those h returned
home in one piece would ave more re-
spect for war and would not be so anx-
ious to introduce their friends and
ne,ghbors to a life-sized specimen.
The lingo is sometimes a politician
who started out by bunking the com
mon people and is unable to learn n
az the new steps 1t isn't always the
