Course Not Clear.

Neither Col. bishop or myself could
possibly figure of the drift of the ma
chine. AS 1t was hazy it was impos-
sible TO pick out objects clearly. The
strong north wind also made our rate
of travel much faster than was figured
on, when about 30 minutes OF search
was made for the Southern Pacific Rail
way, which | knew to be near Salton
Sea. I decided to land and investigate
"The landing was almost completed
when tho aircraft struck soft ground and
the plane tipped up. This was at IL 40

of our error after close examination We

thirty minutes on this course | could see
distinctly through haze a large body OF
water We Thought TO be tho Salton Sea.
The only map OF this section I had
showed Salton Sea much too far south,
SO this confirmed my belief that was
right. As my gas was running low. my
only course was to keep going further
south in order to strike CalcxiCo. Col.
Bishop thought this body OF water to be

Army Also Angry.

Admiral Winslow was advanced three
numbers FOR conspicuous bravery and
service during the Spanish war. After
he recovered from the wounds which
came within an ace of costing him his
life and after the value Of his service
was carefully weighed It was decided
that the reward OF three numbers addi-
tional for his work In the Spanish war
was justified. Other American officers
were rewarded In kind when their SER
vice and courage had been put to the
actual test and found deserving.

London, Oct. 9.-England has another
shock in store for that section of Am
erica which hates to see wealth do its
bit. England is preparing to eonscript
alphabetically.
There has been a great deal of talk
about conscription of wealth in connee-
tion with the war, but it has meant only
high income taxes, excess profits taxes
and levies Of that sort. The British gov
ernment today has practically decided
to take the next step and levy directly
on capital. Barring a change of opin-
ion in the meantime on the part of those
responsible for the British financial pol
lev, such levy will be made soon af-
ter the war ends.
This, possibly the most radical finan-
eial innovation that has resulted from
the war, is due to the conviction that
it is, if not the only way, at least the
best way out, from under the terrific
financial burden the war will leave.
At the end of the war, Great Britain
will face the necessity of providing
two and one-half billion dollars or more
tannual revenue. 1t will cost half that
to meet the running expenses Of the
government ard the greater part of the
other half to meet the interest on war
loans. The estimate for pensions is now
q quarter of billion dollars a year.
If the present revenue of the govern
ment could continue after the war
and the war ended now-it would meet
the expenses outlined. Last year close

BABY KEET'S MOTHER

Weeps In Court

Marshfield, No., Oct. 9.-The grue
some story of how the body of Baby
Lloyd Keet was found in an abandoned
well last June, ten days after he was
kidnapped, as told by Prosecuting At
torney 0 Day in court today, threw the
little victims mother into Mysteries.
Mrs. j. Holland Keet, the mother

trial of Claude Piersol, one of the al.
legged kidnapors. She finally burst into
tears. When O'Day concluded she was
hysterical and on the verge of a ner.
vous collapse. Her husband sat by her
side, with tears streaming down his
face, trying to comfort her.
O'Day did not mention the alleged
confession Of Dick Carter, whose test
mony was expected to be the sensation
of the trial. The prosecutor character
lied Piersol's statement that the gang
of kidnapers planned to abduct G. A
Clement, wealthy jeweler of Spring
field, Mo-, at the instigation of German
agents as a fabrication.
Following O'Day's statement, J. T
Moore ,one of Piersol IS attorneys, be-
gan the opening statement for the de.
tense.
The jury was completed shortly after
9 o'clock.

weather was ideally cool and clear. To
Gay it was sleety and rainy with strong
winds.
Today's blow comes more quickly af-
ter a great offensive than any similar
drive which the British have under
taken in more than a year. Haig here
tofore has been content to strike stag
gering blow, reach certain specified OBJ
Jects and then hold these until every
plan was perfected for a further ad-
vance-possibly for weeks.
Haig delivered such blow last Thurs
day He advanced over a front Of eight
miles. Today-five days later--he mas
again thrown his line forward.
From this change in the tactics Lon
don harbored growing belief that the
whole comprehensive British campaign
plan-to cut eff the German submarine
bases at Zeebrugge and Ostend-now
seemed likely to be realized, possibly
at an early date. In addition, it is be-
lieved that the sudden change in Haig s
customary tactics was another proof of
the complete failure of the newly adopt
ed German "pill box" system of de-
fense.
The mention of "our allies" in the
Haig statement probably refers to
French troops, which have heretofore
been reported holding part of the Bel
gian line. Portuguese troops, however,

to three billion dollars was raised by
taxation. But seven hundred million of
that was raised by the excess profits
tax, which expires with the war. Other
large additions were from taxes not ex-
pected to. produce the same ratio after
the war, 1t is roughly figured that tax
alton can produce $I,750, 100000 after
the war, when $2,500,OOO,OOO will be
needed.
A levy on capital will do it, in the
opinion of government officials. They
estimate capital in private ownership
has increased in Great Britain to one
hundred billion dollars since the war
began. One plan is for levy of 10
per cent of this-wiping out half the
war debt.
The strongest argument for the plan
is that it would not actually diminish
the nations capital, according to its
proponents. 1t would simply transfer
of ownership of part of it to the state.
The state would become a partner in
industries.

American Field Headquarters in
France, Oct 7.--( (Delayed)--A long line
of sweating, dusty men, across nndulaf-
ed hills, colonel ON another hill, roar
ed announcement from the colonel-and
a tremendous booming roar of cheers
resounding like the victory shouts at
Harvard stadium when the crimson has
put one over on the blue.
I This was how Pershing's Sammies
today received the news that their com
mander had been promoted to the rank
of full general.
1t came Immediately after the Am
erican soldiers had gone through their
very best PAGES under "Black Jack"
Pershing's own keen gaze and he had
expressed his terse, emphatic commen-
dation.
Today was competition day" for
the Sammies. Regiment was pitted
against regiment; battalion against bar
talon; company against company and
man against man in the exercise OF
war-and all for dazzling row of sill
yer cups, donated by General Persh1ngs
Major General Sibert, other American
generals and two French army comman-
ders.
The competition was held under foot
ball conditions. The judges shrill whis-
tie carried on the stiff autumn wind
ike the signal Of football referee back
home as the moleskinned warriors OF
the gridiron erouched for the kickoff.
The American expeditions IS best COM
panies dug impetuously through the rock
soil, or raced madly through trenches,
set up machine guns, fired others, or
savagely charged grotesquely swaying
German dummies, Jabbing their boyon-
cts deep into their straw vitals. The
whole field buzzed with racing fever
ishly inspired men going through the
whole program of war.
An imposing group watched the men
-Pershing, SIbert and other American
generals, with two French generals.
When it was all over and the Judges
awards had been announced, Pershing
himself presented the trophies.
He briefly commended the entire con-
tingent for the splendid program in
training tuS1 hh1 oAoRA tHN
ed the necessity for developing a
''fighting spirit. He remarked that
the German was racially endowed with
that spirit through a long line of mil
itaristic generations.
1t was the belief of all officers today
that the contests had done more to re-
vive the old competitive spirit among
the men than any other event in re-
cent wears. Soldiers have been practle-
ing for the Journeys for weeks.
American Field Headquarters, France,
Oct. 7.-(Delayed) United Press re-
ports Of Chieago's 2 to l victory over
the Giants greeted America g fighting
men here as they tumbled from their
cots today. The sammies awakened with
thoughts of the big military tournament
scheduled for the day, but the first
ceremony of the morning was a rush to
the bulletin board for the worlds series
scores.
From battalion headquarters all
along the far flung line Of American en-
campments, the results Of the games
vvere flashed by signal corps men. In
