WOMEN NEVER GAN SEE JOKE
This Was Browns Conclusion After He Had Accounted One That Had
 Been Told to Him.

Brown met Johnson the other morn- ing hurrying along the street. The latter had parcel under his arm, and Brown, always inquisitive, wanted to know what it contained.
 "Well," said Johnson, If you must know, I've just bought T pair of gaiters very nice ones, too.''
 "Where at?" asked Brown.
 "Oh, I don't know the name, but it's little shop just down that alley across there,' said Johnson.
 'Ha-ha :" laughed Brown, who all ways liked his little joke, then they must be alleygaiters.'
 This so tickled Johnson that he made up his mind that he must tell that to his wife, so. on reaching home, he burst into the room, and laughed until his wife thought he would never stop.
 She could not make out what on earth was the joke, so Johnson started to tell her.
 "IIa-ha, he-he Oh Tor, such joke !! I just met Brown, and he asked me what I'd got in my parcel.
 q told him I'd bought a new pair of leggings, but didn't know the name of the shop, but it was just down the court.

510.OO0 AMERICANS
 WILL BE IN FRANCE
PERSRlNGS EXHIBITION re FRANCE WILL BE BEGIN
 MING OF OUR FIGHT.
REGULARS NEED 100000 MEN
National Guard Will Require 17o,o0o More Recruits-GeneraI Staff Plans Gall For Army of 100000
 Witnin Year.

Washington.-Tne United States will be represented on the fighting fronts of Europe, both land and sea, by an army of perhaps 500,000 men and a powerful force of naval vessels, within year.
 The Pershing expedition to France and the f1otflla of destroyers now hunting down submarines in the war zone, are but the beginning. This was indicated in official circles.
 Beginning at once the "big push' for volunteers for the military service will begin. The regular army needs more than 100000 men to bring it to war strength and the national guard requires 170,00O additional. Besides these a volunteer force of 150,000 to fill the places of regulars withdrawn 10 train the volunteers and the 50O,- eco seIective conseripts are wanted
 With recruiting. officers shooting at total of more than 400,000-and this is regarded in War Department cir eles as the real test of volunteer meth. ods-every ounce of machinery is to be brought to bear to fill these places before the draft goes into operation, probably late in August.
 The general staff plans call for an army of approximately 100000 with in @ year. Indeed, the total will be swelled to probably 1,700,00O in that period as the second increment under the conscription bill probably will be ordered to the colors before more than nine months has elapsed.

FURTHER INCREASE
 INCOME SUB-TAXES
ALL ABOVE $4o,ooo MUST PAY 25 PER CENT MORE-KlTCHlN
 OPPOSES PLAN.

ington.-Further drastic in creases were written into the income sur-taX schedules of the war revenue bill by the House in the committee of the whole after announcement by Democratic Leader Kitchin that Sec retary McAdoo's latest estimate of one-half the cost of the first year of the war, which the bill is intended to cover, would be about $2,254,000, ,00C.
 The increases, 25 per cent on all the proposed sur-taXes between $40,- 900 and $1,000,0 900, as reported by the committee, and 45 per cent sur-taX on incomes in excess of $1,000,0 900 as proposed by Representative Lenroot of Wisconsin, were included by vote of 146 to 107.
 Representative Kitchin and others who were opposed to increased income taxes voted formally against the pro- posals, but previously Mr. Kitchin had declared on the floor that he did not see how any members of the ways and means committee could oppose them
 No attempt will be made in the House, MT Kitehin announced, to raise the total of the bill to $2,245,- 0OO,000 It is probable, however, he added, that the total will be larger than $1,SQ0.00O,000 contemplated in the original measure, and if it is found that more money is needed, another bill will be drafted at the next ses- sion of Congress. Many members be- lieve further efforts to make the bill total $2,245, 100000 will be made on the floor or in the committee.
 Regardless of Secretary McAdoo's estimate, Mr Lenroot announced ne will seek to have stricken from the bill the taxes on light and heat. Op- ponents of the second-class mail rates increases also will continue their fight

DEALERS GALL HALT
 ON WHEAT FUTURES
FIX MAXIMUM PRICE AT CHiCA- GO ESENTATIVES'
 CONFERENCE.

Chicago.-Action which it is beliey ed will remove the element of specu- lation from the grain market and fore stall any steps by the federal govern ment was taken here at a meeting of representatives of the primary grain exchanges of the country.
 It was accomplished by fixing maximum price for wheat futures at or under which sales may be made, but no buying will be permitted except to close out accounts. No trading in May options of wheat, corn or oats is permitted except to close deals.
 The same principle was extended to July and September oats and corn in principle, but action was not taken, as it was held unnecessary at this time. Grain prices were lowered.
 Milling interests were represented at the meeting, together with the grain exchanges of Chicago, New York, Toledo, Winnipeg, Minneapolis, Kansas City Omaha and St. Louis. The following statement was issued:
 "It is the concensus- of opinion of the representatives of the various boards of trade and chambers of com merce assembled that the unusually high prices are due:
 "First-To the subnormal produc- tion of grain and foodstuffs generally the world over during the preceding year, and the very unfavorable out 17 r-, 4s., yv,-sr.-4,,,r ,r s,,g,,s ae fore pI $ ! by #our. agricultural department.

 aThird-With over half the worll at war the demands from all import ing countries are abnormally high This intensified by our own industrial activity, naturally, has increased the demand for foodstuffs.
 "Fourth-To the very commendable efforts Of the officials at Washington to stimulate production which have been mfsintcrpreted not only by our own people, but by foreign govern ments as meaning that we were in a condition bordering on famine. Nat ural conditions admitted of high prices, but the hysteria is absolutely responsible for the inflated values now prevailing.

the places Of those who go. At the
same time, when the ranks OF the
regiments in battle are bowled over
by the artillery fire more workmen
are called upon to leave their en-
pigments and go to take the places
of the fallen warriors. And in this
number are usually tillers of the soil.
Again, the fields were deprived of
men when the munition factories
started up, men who sought higher
wages than those doled out on the
farm. And so it has gone.
The wheatless days and the meat
less days are absolute necessities.
Theirs~i is mighty purpose. In Ger
many they are realized under the law
of compulsion. We have as yet not
reached that stage; but we are fast
coming to it unless we realize what
punishment the sins of self-indulgence
enact in the long run,-especially
when the world is afiame with war.

A BAD TIME FOR ENEMIES.

Sometimes we wonder at the in
genuity of man. Especially is this
SO in the rumblings of those magma
tons which ramble over creation for
material with which to defeat the
American cause. There are those who
are never at a loss for material with
which to work in starting stories and
mythical tales about the war,-such
variations having always to do with
the plight of Uncle Sam.
In the communicated column on
this page will be found a letter which
is enlightening. Therein is cleared UP
much Of the misunderstanding that

exactly how German propaganda gets

from this grain of sand the pro-Ger-
man mind builded a mountain. And,
what is more. the mountain was seen

They hold in one direction. They are
forced on the one goal.-the winning
of the war. If there was divided

To the Editor Of the Herald:
Reading over your editorial In last

or three of the sentences may b mis-
understood by the public, and would
like to state that 30 far al am COM
cerned, or know, or have Thought,
there is no one guilty Of "misappro-
priating'' or misspendfng the fund OF
the charity department. Ny contafas
ton was, and has been proven by the
reports Of the board Itself, ct the
meeting, and since, that little over
$4,000 has been spent for building 4
barn for which only about $4,000 has;
been regularly appropriated to useS
1916 apd 1917. In fa4t, only $500
was appropriated for this year for
that purpose and between $4,000 and
$4,000 expended. Tho supposed dis
crepency between the boards report to-
the Common Council and my conten-
ton OF $4,000 or 20, ~ being unac-
counted for In their report ha4 been
explained by supplementary report
just placed in my hands today by tho
superintendent Of, the charity board
showing that they kept separate ac-
count Of expenditures for dlosl and
bank walls which really are part and
parcel Of tho barn, which practically
brings our figures together.

Of the charity board, for the first dme.
