cigarettes, milk and many other articles
which used to be priced with the nickel

ASKS CHURCH TO GRASP
PRESENT OPPORTUNITY
Rev. DR.. John Mockridge Says
Spiritual Help Is Needed in Army
Training Camps.

With hundreds of thousands of young
men in the training camps throughout
the nation needing and desiring spirit
ual help and guidance, the church must
seize the opportunity which is pre-
sented-an opportunity which has never
been equaled before in the history of
the United States.
This point was emphasized by Rev.
DR.. John Mockridge, rector of ST.
James Episcopal Church. Philadelphia.
In an address before the Churchmans
League at Rauscher's last night. DR..
Mockridge was at Camp Niagara for
three months and has been engaged in
work for the soldiers and sailors in
Philadelphia.
DIR. Mockridge said that, while the
work being done by the Young Mems
Christian Association and the knights
of Columbus was good, it should not
be allowed by the churches to take
the place of church guidance.
Experienced Ministry Needed.
trained, ordained, experienced ministry
was needed, it is in the training
camps" he declared.
The government has called upon
1000 physicians to help in physical
>and sanitary matters. To aid in
spiritual and moral problems the gov
ernment has been unable to call upon
the ministry. That is because of our
divisions.
IF the Christian churches have no
message which they and they alone
can give to the camps and canton
ments, then the churches have no right
to exist" he said.
He urged that the power Of prayer
be used to accomplish the work neces-
sary.

troops from our own District. clergy
man Of our own church.
Second-That the league encourage
and help in such entertainments as
have been conducted and are being

rection Of some Of the parishes OF the
diocese.
Third-That as churchmen and as
times to lend a friendly hand and
cheering word to our soldier boys.
We cannot too strongly dwell on this
suggestion. and any one who will In
dulge in the experiment will be more
than fully repaid by the smile Of 2, ta ap- aI..
courtesy. And. SO far as possible, let
our homes be kept open to the so
journers in our midst, where they may
be certain of a pleasant evening and
healthful surroundings.
Fourth-That those clergymen of our
diocese who may not be attached to

may deem helpful and proper.

committee on church activities of the
war recreation committee Of the Dis
trict, spoke of the work being done by
that committee. He urged that each
denomination in Washington should
make one man responsible for the
men of his denomination with the
colors in the camps in and around
Washington He recommended that
the churches near the Washington
barracks and Camp Ordway should so
arrange social activities as to have
something for the soldiers to do each
night He also urged the establishmen mt
of sleeping quarters for men who wish
to stay overnight in the city. He sug-
gested in connection with this last
point that cots might be placed in
rooms of church buildings.
He declared that as the men are now
treated by the churches so will they
be prejudiced for or against the in
stitution when they return from the
war.
He advocated that the National Capi.
tai should lead the way. saying: THE
city of Washington is the focal point
for the eyes of the whole nation. This
community has the chance to take the
lead. Washington has the most com
pick and interesting problems of the
entire nation. and therefore Washington
has the greatest opportunities and re-
sponsibilities.'

Committee and House
Leaders in Harmony
on Measure

Washington, Jan. 10 Chairman
kitchin of the House Ways and Means
Committee, after several hours CON
ference to-day with Secretary McAdoo
over the revenue situation, announced
that "the Ways and Means Committee,
the Secretary Of the Treasury and the
Administration will be in perfect har-
mony on a revenue bill"
The committee Democrats will meet
tomorrow to agree upon and formu-
late a policy for the first time and will
meet practically daily until the reve-
nue. measure is complete with view
TO passage by the House by January
80 at the latest.
Mr. Kitchin said that none OF the
propositions TO be considered to-mor-
row had so far been made the subject
of any conclusion or agreement. He
said that a Bond issue was certain;
that there would be no tax on tea
coffee or other foodstuffs, and that
there would be no lowering Of the ex-
emption under the income tax.
"The committee majority members
will be called together to consider sew
ersl alternative propositions" said Mr..
kitchin. I'VE Will pass the bill in the
House the last of next week or the
first part Of the following week, but
what it will tax ! cannot say yet.
There is, however, certain 20 be an
authorization for bond issue to take
care Of the Mexican border expendi-
lures These border expenses. it is
estimated, will reach Sl62,000,000 by
next June. The bond issue will also
take care Of the purchase Of the Dan
ish possessions in the West Indies, to
cost S25,000,000; the armor plate pro-
iect, to cost Sl1000,000, and the
Alaska railway. to cost s2i, S3s, 900"
Some Democrats of the committee
are known to be considering seriously
a new internal revenue tax Of from
to s per cent on corporation profits OF
more than per cent Of capital stock.
This would be calculated TO raise ap-
proximately S200,000,000 a year. Re
vision of the inheritance tax by in
creasing the rates is also under con-
sideration, and there has been talk Of
issuance Of Treasury certificates OF
Indebtedness, to run from one to three
months at per cent interest, 70 take
care Of the Treasury until the end OF
the fiscal year.
