(COn61nue0 from rage Ouesl
of bonds, house and senate leaders had
virtually decided today.
1t is proposed that most revenue
should come from increased taxes on
income. inheritances and excess profits
and that an issue of 1-2 per cent bonds
be authorized for So, 900, 600, 900 of which
$4,000, 900. 900 would be invested on war
bonds of the entente nations, and ST.
900, 900, 900 would cover the balance Of
the war expenses not met by taxation.
All of the two billion might not be
needed within the year, according to
advance estimates.
Members Of the house ways and means
committee today discussed details of the
finance proposals, and there was some
TALK of pressing Immediately only for
the Ss.O0U, OO0,O 900 bond issue for the
entente loan, allowing the $4,000, 0O0, 900
issue for army and navy expenses to
await more deliberate legislative ac-
ton
OBSTACLES SEEN.
Indications were that the bond issue
would have little effective opposition
in either house, although the problems
of taxation of the war are likely to
prove more difficult.
Secretary Baker. Major General Scott,
and Judge Advocate General Crowder
testified today before the house military
committee on the bill for raising up to
100000 men by selective CONSUMPTION.
They took up the technical details of
the bill, explaining 1t section by sec
tion with a view to giving the commit
tee a clear understanding of the pur-
pose of every provision and to explain
objections.
The opposition to CONSUMPTION within
the committee is based on the view that
the volunteer system should first be
exhausted. Some members believe an
adequate army can be raised by calling
for volunteers. Secretary Baker and
army officers believe voluntary enlist
ment cannot be relied upon to meet the
emergency.
The question of whether an army
should be sent to Europe and the prop
osition of universal military training
we're the big issues thrashed out from
all angles at the executive session of
the house military committee today. No
decision was reached The two mat
tiers will come up again tomorrow.
Chairman Padgett. of the house naval
committee, today introduced a bill ex-
tending the right of citizenship to all
aliens who serve one year or more in the
naval reserve.
The session was attended by Secretary
Baker Chief of Staff Scott, Brigadier
General Crowder and General Pierce.
The administrations bill was taken up
paragraph by paragraph. There were at
least three members bitterly opposed to
any kind of universal service or draft
system.
Chairman Dent, who opposed these two
propositions. announced he is to see the
president this afternoon at the White
House.
Representative Dill introduced a bill
empowering the president to call for
voluntary contributions to the amount of
IS. 600, 100000 to finance the war.
The bill also empowers the president

Chairman Fitzgerald, of the appro-

appropriations asked by the administra-
ton for war purposes.

executive branches of the government
but that is my position"
Congressman Sherley and Garner.
Democrats, said they had talked with
executive officers and 1t was their pur-
pose to give congress detailed estimates
of the war funds requested. Mr.. Mann
called attention to the unprecedented
estimates Of $2.932,000,0OO which the
war department sent up last week with
out explanation except that it was for
the national defense. to be expended
under the war department. Mr. Sherley
said these estimates would be submitted
later, as the department had prepared

Ever since the discovery of uric acid
in the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood of
this poison. Because of its over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
matism, govt, gravel, neuralgia, and
sciatica. 1t was DIR. Pierce who dis
covered a new agent, called Anuric,
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the
system. Anuric has proved to be
many times more potent than hthiG,
