Submarine Beaten,
Says British Expert

New York, Nov. 16.-Arthur Pol
len, noted British war expert, has
made the following statement to the
Associated Press on the submarine
war:
Anything unsatisfactory in the
military and political situation in Eu-
rope is balanced by the eXtraordin-
airy news that the German submarine
campaign las broken down alto
Sether. The submarine is defeated.
This is the most momentous event
since the United States declared war.
1t means we can all stay in and that
America can really come in.
six months ago shipping was be-
ing destroyed, according to some au-
thorities, at rate of 100000 tons
per annum. Had this loss con-
tinued the Germans had the right to
expect, not, indeed, military VIC
tory, but peace that would mean
something much less than defeat
This was Germany's only hope and
1t was the Allies only anxiety. For
every one. including the German
high command, knew that with sea
communication reasonably safe The
military defeat of the Germany army
was certain.

Wounded Prisoner Braced Up
by Cigaret Given by
American Captor

According to many letters from the
Yanks over in France the Germans
hate Americans with the same inten-
sity that they hate the English. Nu-
merous Instances of this are record
ed. This is rather singular if you
think over it logically. for no coun-
try has treated German settlers so
amlably, and just think how eagerly
the Germans have been emigrating
to this country for a century. But
the German is not bothered with
logic. Recently a French unit hoist
ed n signboard over the trenches
saying in German: "The Americans
are with u.s." Gee, whiz. you should
have heard the bonn mbardment that
sign got! Hate us-rather. And yet
when n German wounded soldier eX-
presses his longing for q smoke,
never does the American return any
but good for evil.

EXCESS PROFITS f.
TAX MAY BECOME
FIXTURE in u. S.
War Measure May Become
Part of General Plan of
Providing Finance

Atlanta ga. Nov. 16.-Belef that
1t is exceedingly probable that an eX-
cess profits tax, now imposed as a
war measure. will continue as q per-
manent part of the American tax
system was expressed by Professor
tt, S. Adams, of Yale University, in
an address he delivered here today
before the National Tax Associations S
convention. This taxation of excess
profits would be, in Professor Adams
opinion an expression of the prin-
ciple that the state and the commun-
1ty stand as silent partners in every
business enterprise. Professor Adj
ans is now serving as special adviser
on taxation to the Treasury Depart
ment.
He strongly advocated the taxing
OF all business units on their net in
come, the wisdom of which course
mas been for many years the sub
ject of considerable difference of
opinion by tax authorities and others
interested in scientific methods of
taxation. Professor Adams admitted
that the opponents of this method of
taxation were able to present sS'ong
arguments in support of their posi-
ton which undoubtedly were worthy
of full consideration but the fact re-
mains, as he said that I'VE shall
never have even an approximately
consistent scheme of taxation until
the necessity for separate business
taxation is recognized and imposts
laid which are consciously designed
to express the fiscal obligations of
business as SUCH"
According to Prof Adams, the jus
tification for this class of taxes Is
that a large part of the cost of gov
ernment is traceable to the activities
of business and to the protection
which business as such enjoys. 1t
was Prof. Adams idea that this Rs-
cal obligation of business is not ade-
quately met by the present property
tax nor by a mere personal income

Girls Earn Big Wages
Packing Sardines

With herring plentiful about Pas
samaquoddy Bay and sardine fac
tories at Eastport and Lubec running
day and night, many women and girl
packers of fish are earning the larg-
est wages of the season. One expert
packer received $50 last week, sew
eral came in for $48, while there
were other women, and even girls,
who packed enough fish in the tin
cans in one week to receive $35 to
$40 by working seventy hours. This
long period of work is allowed in
sardine factories. where the fifty-four
hour law does not obtain.
The sardine season is short, how
ever, and such large wages are not
made regularly, although the women
can earn more money in these plants
than men.-Eishing Gazette.

tax on the owners of the business.
In discussing this measure of this
tax which Prof. Adams urged should
be imposed on all business concerns,
he pointed out that there is no per-
feet measure of any tax but said that
personally he believed the most sat
lsfactory measure would be accord
ing to net income from the business.
He suggested, however, that the rate
should be graduated somewhat along
the eXcess-profits tax which he said
has now spread to fourteen or fifteen
countries and is yielding handsome
revenues in most of them.

Acts Instead of Words,
Italian Premier's Slogan

Rome, Nov. 16.-Great enthusiasm
and patriotic feeling marked the sit
ting for the Italian Chamber of
Deputies yesterday afternoon. Pro-
fessor Vittorio Orlando, in his first
speech as premier, struck the key
note of his policy, namely, that the
situation called for acts rather than
for words.
The premier spoke feelingly of the
assistance being rendered by the En-
tente Allies to Italy, and a passage
in which he expressed the cordial
gratitude of Italy to the great
American republic" for her willing
and powerful aid reused tremendous
cheering.
Ex-Premier Giolitti, who made his
first public appearance since Italy en-
tered the war, re-echoed Premier
Orlandos words, saying the whole
nation would follow the govern
ments lead, but there must be no
hesitation or half measures.

The Slightest Impurity Must BE
Promptly Eliminated

The Slightest Impurity Must Be
Promptly Eliminated
Keeping your blood free from all
impurities means that you will en-
JOY a robust, strong and sturdy vi
tally which will enable your system
to resist the numerous ailments that
are constantly assailing it, and to
which so many people succumb.
Practically everyone is subject to
the same attacks from the number
less enemies of good health which
lurk in the air we breathe and the
water we drink. Why do some so
easily throw off the attack, while
others fall a victim to disease?
1t is almost entirely due to the
condition of the blood. If your blood
is thin and impure, and your strength
