To Boom Patriotism.

Early in the new year. Mr.. Roper said.
competent revenue officers will be sent
into every county of the United States
to aid inexperienced persons in making
out their income tax forms, endeavoring
10 facilitate not only collection of the
taxes. but to stimulate a spirit Of pa
triotism in regard to the governments
war needs.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw. chairman of
the woman's section of the. Council of
National Defense, urged the editors to
use their influence to compel technical
schools to give training to women who
are needed in government work. Wom-
en- should not be called into service. she
declared however, until it became alb
solutely necessary. their paramount
duty was to maintain existing moral
and educational standards, to guard
against school hysteria," which would
take children from their studies prema-
turely for war work, and to safeguard
the country against child delinquency
and lowering of standards after the
war.

Liberal Construction Placed on Ex-
cess Profits Law, Commissioner
Roper Tells Newspaper Men.

Many phases of the governments
wartime activities were explained by
federal officials to an editorial confer
ence OF the Associated Business News
papers, representing more than $50
trade and technical journals, which as
sembled here yesterday.
Internal Revenue Commissioner
Roper told the editors how liberal con-
struction had been placed on certain
provisions of the excess profits law to
make the tax burden as light as pos
sibIe for partnerships and individuals.
Reasonable salaries will be allowed as
deductions from profits determining
the taxable residue in order to place
them on an equal basis with corpora
lions which pay specific salaries. He
also indicated in the case of profess
sional men the cost of a small amount
Of equipment will be considered merely
professional adjunct and not in
vested capital"
Another important announcement was
that merchants probably will be per-
mitted to make inventories either at
cost or market value. This was con-
sidered especially significant, since
brokers are to be regarded as "mer-
chants Of securities" and therefore
may inventory stocks and bonds at the
low prices to which many have fallen
recently.

Washington, June 22.--Camps for
the National Guard organization will
be- located at Augusta, Macon, .Annis:
ton, Montgomery, Spartanburg, S. c.,
and Greenville, n; c. Other camp sites
will be selected later.
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, command
ing the Department of the Southeast,
was in favor of locating all the troops
in the State of Georgia, but was over
ruled By the War Department, which
directed that wider distribution be
made if possible.
Representative Dent of Alabama,
chairman of the House committee on
military affairs, has been making a
most earnest fight to have large
| number of troops located at Montgom-
cry, in his district. Political pressure
has also been brought by other con-
gressl1len from the Southeast. But be-
| cause of the strategic position of Geor-
gia points for quick mobilization and
easy movement of troops to the Sea-
board, Gen. Wood, considering moth
ing but sound military reasons, favor
ed Georgia. In addition to railroad
facilities, water and sanitary condi-
tions are prime considerations in To-
| eating camps.
Improvement in the sanitary ar
| engagements at Fort Mcpherson were
discussed today with Secretary of War
Baker and Surgeon General Gorgas
| Of the army and Representative How
| ard. Following the interview he ex-
pressed the belief that present condi-
lions, which grew out of the fact that
men were modified faster than hos
pital equipment, would be speedily
remedied. More adequate provision for

tional army. to be called to the colors
this fall will also be made, according
to Gen. Gorgas.

ENORMOUS GAINS IN
CLEARlNGS Is SHOWN

Savannah, June 22.-For the week
ending yesterday the Savannah bank
clearings were $6,95S,2O9. This COM
pares with $5,501,2 last year, and
shows an increase of $1,456, 558, or a
little over rs per cent.
At this time last year the clear
ings were exceptionally large and
for the corresponding week showed
an increase of 50 per cent. over the
year before. This years gain is there
fore all the more remarkable, and
shows an increase over year before
last of over 100 per cent
At present the cotton movement is
larger than at this date last year,
and at about double the price. The ma
val stores business is running about
even with last year, and the volume of
general business is ahead of last year.
Bank clearings should run very full
for some time yet.

lBy Basil M. MAINLY

Washington, Sept. 6.-What is the
most powerful corporation in the
world? The steel trust! You're
wrong. Guess again, and keep on
guessing.
The most powerful corporation in
the world today is the United States
shipping board, operating in part
through its subsidiary the emergency
fleet corporation. Today oceanic
shipping board comes very near con-
trolling oceanic transportation.
Most Americans have an idea the
shipping board Ia doing a big job
building cargo vessels to circumvent
the U-boat, but they have no coDcep-
ton of the part in making the United
States ruler Of the seas.
Submarines or no submarines, the
program the shipping board is putting
after peace comes to haul every pound
of goods she ships abroad, instead OF
paying heavy tribute, as in the past
to British, French, German, Italian
Scandinavian and Japanese merchant
men.
Think what this means. The ship.
ping board is going to put the Stars
and Stripes on all the seven seas, tc
carry commerce where Old Glory ha.
not been seen since the days Of oul
clipper ships.
The shipping boards -co4structior
and Communicating program will ado

Only England will contest maritime
supremacy with us. She has toda,
some 100000 tons. most of which
is ocean going, while a large part o
our pre-war tonnage consists Of lax,
and river boats, SO she probably will
have the edge on us when the wa
ends.

Germany, which had about $780,

pletely o~utclassed, while all the rest
will drag along with less than u, 000,-
600 tons each.
But mere ship tonnage is only a
small part Of our enormous maritime
influence now and for the future. The
United States, through the shipping
board is the arbiter of ocean trans
portation rates throughout the world.
These rates r o under discussion
with representatives Of the allies and
revolutionary readjustments are soon
to be announced.
Furthermore, through the seamen's
act the shipping board is now de-
termining labor conditions ior the
sailors of all nations. The act, by
making the sailors of every nation
free men when they are in American
ports, opens the way for them to force
the vessel owners Of other nationali-
ties to come up to American stan
dards. And as the ships Of all the
world must now come to America for
cargies the leveling process Is pro-
ceeding with great rapidtty.

The Lord God looked from His home

And He turned to a seraph strong:
whence comes this plaintive. piteous
How long-o Lord!-how long,?"
'"Tis the children's cry" the seraph.

Whence comes their lack?" the Lord
God cried.
And the seraph bowed his head.

And ruleth IL in Thy stead.
For peace he hath given the earth a

He saith it is Thy decree. good Lord.
"A day there was when he seemed
content
To be hailed Thy son by choice:
But pride hath nourished a mad intent
To speak with the Fathers voice.

The meeting was interesting for an

two points:
First-That he and Chairman Hur-

Staff Special.
Washington. Sept. 5.-The first ship
in that famous bridge of ships, which
the United States is to build across
the Atlantic to defeat the German u
boat campaign, will be completed in
November. Of this year.
A few more will be completed IN
December of this year and January
and February of 1918. The great bulk
of those contracted for will come in
the spring and summer Of 1918.
So it turns out that while Major
General Goethals n William Den
man were having their controversy,
which resulted in their both getting
out, work was nevertheless actually
being lone on the ship-building pro-
gram.
Here are the facts as they stand
today:
Contracts for 353 ships of all kinds
have actually been signed. sealed and
delivered and work OF many of these
lis being pushed.
Contracts for lib more ships of all
kinds areyin complete shape, rave for
the final signatures, which will come
very shortly.
And here are the kinds of ships
provided for in these contracts:
Seyenty-seVen are steel ships whose
tonnage ranges from 5000 to 9,400.
Forty-eight are composite wood and
steel ships, whose tonnage averages
$500.
The balance are wooden ships
whose tonnage is $500.
One hundred and ten ships OF all
kinds have been contracted for on the
Pacific coast.
One hundred and sixty-six ships
have been contracted for in the south.
The lumber men OF the south were
one cause for a slowing up in ship
building. They were under pledge to
furnish lumber at an average price Of
$35 per thousand feet. or the first
