Uncle Sam Taking Steps to Keep
| Down Vice In Camps Abroad

Above all things the American
army is trying to avoid the pose OF
savior or 'Ereformer" either in
France or Britain.
France is ablaze with posters warn
ing the soldier against the perils OF
vice. France has taken other steps
and the same is true of Britain.
1t is probable, however, that
ther country has resorted to as
much outright repression as merlca.
AS to conditions around American
camps, the reports made to the Sur
geon General of the Army and made
public Nov. 166, show that the vice
menace is practically mastered.
In most of the camps the percen-
tage of cases is so low that it is not
believed to equal the rate in civil life.
This pretty thoroughly disposes of
the British "war baby" scale re-
vamped in this country by publicity
seekers. The stories of hundred of
young girls about to become mothers
around army camps are not only un-
true, but are being taken up for the
deliberate purpose of getting public
itv, according to Bascom Johnson OF
the u. S. Training Camp Commission,
who has bossed the cleaning up of
cities and neighborhoods around man.
army camps.

VOL. XX.-NO. 321.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 24.-The
Var Department is making an effort
t. extend to American camps in
rance the same protection from al
cohol, vice and disease that has been
thrown around them in this country.
In America the screen of protec-
ton has been thrown far around
camps and embarkation points. Wide
zones of cleanliness have been
created.
To establish similar conditions in
France or Britain involves delicate
diplomatic negotiations and questions
or legal jurisdiction and national
sovereignty.
To give American military authori-
ties extensive military authorities ex-
tensive police powers in strips of
foreign territory may require legis-
Lition by the British and French par
farfents. The utmost care must be
taken to avoid ill-leeling on the part
OF our allies.
The request will, or has been made
and the negotiations fall to the State
department.
1t is to be emphasized to the al
Led governments that in requesting
such powers, the American govern
nlent is not rejecting in any way on
the measures the allies take in their
territory, but simply as matter of
military efficiency it is desirable that
M the American zone of operations
ne American authority be made fair
= comprehensive.

Washington. June 1.-THE dicta-
torial powers allowed President Will
son under the preferential routing bill
were assailed by Senator Lodge. Of
Massachusetts. and Senator Reed, Of
Missouri, in the senate today. The ex-
ecutive was defended by Senator New
lands.
Il have not charged nor insinuated
that II we grant these powers to the
president he is going to set up a des-
potism,' said Senator Reed. But
you cannot grant the powers bestow-
ed In the bill without setting up petty
despots and dictators in the persons
OF men that will be appointed. And
this Is undemocratic and infamous"
Granting the powers will save de-
mocracy. If we have got to Prussian.

Newlands.

by the constitution the executive
may recommend measures which he
may think proper and he may veto
those he thinks improper; and 1t is
supposed he may add to these GER

action Of congress. My political edu-
cation strongly inclines me against the
very free use of any Of these means
by the executive to control the legis-
lation of the country. As rule. I
think II better that congress should
originate as we'll as perfect its meas

FIVE PER CENT TAX on

IL Piaced IN War RAvelns Bin
~ Finance Cemnattee.

Washington. June IA nvs Der
cent tsx on the pronts OF any matter
entitled to second -class postal faciii.
Mes was placed In tho war revenue
bill by the senate finance committee
this afternoon. This would include
prohfs from the receipts Of Newspaper
and magazines. Tho tax was paused
by . bare majority of one. Senator
Psnrose. who had voted aye" after
wards moved to reconsider the vote
and rediscuss the subject Monday. The
committee expected to derive some 315,-
100000 from this tax. Another inter.
esting step taken by the COMMITTEES
was the reduction Of the tax on bank
checks over S. from two to one cent,
1t IL estimated that the tax as II now
stands will realize about $25.QO0.ooo an
nually. The committee feared the
higher tax would have acted as a de.
torrent and might actually not pro.
duce as much as the lower tax.
There will be an exemption Of 5000
for each dependent minor in the income
tax provisions. The committee refused
to exempt bequests and legacies from
income and inheritance taxes.
The "drawback" on sugar was for.
mally repealed, thus fulfilling the com.
mittee tantAtiye agreement This rev.
enue would have meant about $4,000
600. At the some time 1t was decided
to exempt from taxation cheap molasses
and syrups used in munitions manufac-
ture.
Senators Lodge and Penrose gave mo-
tice they would not as expected offer
amendments affecting the income tar.
But Senator LaFollette has a propo.
sition on foot to offer a substitute for
the entire bill. He would raise all
the desired 1880, 10000 by income

bacco taxes.
