Commerce Attorney Pays
Tribute to Mr., GRAY

Another tribute to Mr. Gray is con-
tanned in this letter from r. L. ]. Smith,
the attorney, of Commerce. Ca:
Commerce, Ga. June &c, 1917.
The Atlanta Journal, Atlanta, Ga.
THE sad news of the death of Hon.
James r. Gray, president and editor
of The Atlanta Journal, has just
reached Commerce. and 1 am writing
by first mail to extend to you and
through you to the other members of
The Journal staff my sincerest sym
pathies.
MIR. Gray was to my mind in all
respects an ideal citizen and editor,
who was no time server and who did
not hesitate to cry out from the house
tops against the evils of the day, and
best and biggest of all, was a Christian
gentleman.
THE citizens of Atlanta, the people
Of Georgia and of the entire south have
suffered a distinct loss in his death,
and his friends, who are numberless in
this section, will long mourn his sud
den demise Faithfully yours.

Spartanburg Editor
Extends His Coincidence

Charles o. Hearon, editor of the Spar
tanburg Herald. has written The Jour-
nal the following letter of coincidence
on the death Of Mr.. Gray:
"Spartanburg. S. c., June 81, 1917.
The Atlanta Journal. Atlanta, Ga.
Though l knew Mr.. James r. Groy
very slightly in so far as personal rela-
tions go, L want to express my SYM
pathy for the death of your chief, which
removes one of the thoughtful, coura-
geous and constructive newspaper men
of the south.
There are so few men in the south
who labor constantly and intelligently
for the development of the region in all
directions without personal gain being
uppermost in their minds, it is, indeed,
a loss when one of them is taken. At
lanta and the south has lost a leader
of the finest ability.
Very truly,

u. S. PLANS BIG FOOD ARMY
Secretary Houston Favors Enlisting
100000 Men and Boys for
Farm Work.

Washington, April 16.-Proposals for
enlistment of a work army of 100000
men and boys for agricultural service,
and other drastic steps to increase food
production during the war, were given
enthusiastic encouragement on Friday
at the department of agriculture. Sec
rotary Houston ordered wide publicity
given to resolutions adopted at the re-
cent st. Louis conference Of agricul-
ture' experts looking to production OF
greater crops as an emergency meas
ure. They recommend that con-
gress appropriate S25.OOO00O for use
by the secretary of agriculture in such
a campaign.
upon the farmer rests in large
measure the final responsibility of win
ming the war" declare the resolutions
made public here. Because of the
world shortage of food it is scarcely
possible that the production of staple
crops by the farmers of the United
States can be too great this year.
1T is recommended that boys under
military age and men beyond the age,
and those physically disqualified should
be enrolled in the national army for
labor in the production of food, muni-
lions and supplies.

VOLUNTEERS FOR U. S.
100000 RECRUITS TO BE RE-
LEASED AFTER WAR.
Believed by This Plan That Feasibility
of Depending Upon Volunteers
Will Be Determined.

Washington, April 1.-THE war de-
partment prepared to issue instruc-
tons to recruiting officers which will
be in effect call for 100000 volun-
teers to fill up the regular army and
the existing units of the National
Guard. All recruits enlisted since the
declaration of war and those to be en-
listed henceforth will be notified that
they will be discharged at the close OF
the war, putting them in the status OF
wartime volunteers.
Four thousand three hundred and
fifty-five men already have been en-
rolled into such status. This is the
number of recruits since the passage
of the war resolution.
Analysis Of the pending administra-
ton bill as it affects the regular army
and the National Guard shows that
provisions is made for the absorption
of 517,86S volunteers. OF these 1888
will be needed to fill up the regular
army and 2O6,349 for the National
Guard. AS 10000 men must be with
drawn from these two services within
six months to train the first 100000
increment of the selective conscript
army, their places must be taken by
that number of additional volunteers.
BY this plan it is thought the feast
bility Of depending entirely upon vol
unteers will be determined. Army offl-
GERS are certain that it will show con-
gress where there are some doubts of
the selective conscript plan, that

Paris, April 17.-The French began
an attack in the morning after several

lines were carried and more than 1O,-

The official announcement of this
success, issued by the war Office, de-

The attack was on a front Of more

"A desperate battle was fought
along the whole 'front.'" says the re.
port, where the enemy had grouped
very important forces and great guam
titles of artillery. Everywhere the
valor of our troops overcame the en-
ergetic defense of our enemies"
Between scissors and Craonne the
whole German first position fell into
the power of General Nivelle's forces.
East of Craonne the French occupied
the enemy's second position south of
,Juvincourt. Farther to the south the
advancing French carried their line as
far as the outskirts of Bermericourt
and up to the Aisne canal at Loivre
and Courcy.
Violent counter-attacks launched
several times north of Ville-Au-Bois
were broken down by French fire with
considerable losses to the enemy.

u. S. WAR TAX PLAN
McADoo SUGGESTS EXTENSION
AND INCREASE ON INCOMES.
Names Profit Tax Rates, Import,
Stamp, Liquor, Amusement, SUI
gar, Coffee, Tobacco, Etc.

Washington, April 16-Administra-
ton suggestions as to possible new
sources Of taxation through which TO
raise approximately one-half of the es-
timated cost of the first year of the
war, or 81, 1907, 25O00O, were submitted
by Secretary McAdoo to the senate
finance and the house ways and means
committees. The other half of the
cost is to be provided by $2,O00,000,O00
of the bonds authorized by the war rev.
enue bill passed Saturday by the house,
which is expected to pass the senate
this week.
Outstanding in the suggestions are
greatly increased income and excess
profit tax rates, taxing of many inn
ported articles now admitted free, and
stamp, liquor, amusement, sugar, cof-
fee, tobacco, soft drink, freight and
passenger transportation receipts, and
automobile taxes. All of the data is
sent to congress for its information
and without recommendations from
the treasury.
Probably the most far reaching pro-
posal concerns income taxes. The sec
rotary estimates that a so per cent in
crease on both individuals and corpora
lions for 1916. collectable next June,
would yield $165,OO0,OOO additional For
1917 he points out that to lower the in
come tax exemption from $4,000 to
$1,000 for unmarried persons, from
$4,000 to $1,000 for married persons, to
leave the normal tax at 2 per cent, but
to raise the supertaxes materially,
would make the law produce $340,O0O,-
600 additional in June, 1918, without
changing the corporation tax.

FEAR RUSS WEAKEN
UNITED STATES AND ALLIES
PLAN TO PROSECUTE THE WAR
AGAINST TEUToNs ALONE.
WEATHER Fkv0Rs THE SLAVS
When Ground Becomes Dry 1t Is Ex-
pected Won Hindenburg Will Direct
Advance on Petrograd-The Duma
Government Lacks Military Strength.

Washington, April 18.-There is no
longer concealment in official circles
Of the apprehension felt over the
progress of events in Russia.
Disquieting news has been reaching
the state department from Petrograd
for some days. 1t backs up the judg-
ment of expert military and naval Off
GERS of all the Russian allies that the
great country, with its vast resources
Of men and material, cannot be real
contender against the central powers
in the near future.
The duma government lacks the ele-
ments of strength which are absolutely
essential for the effective supply of
large armies. Officers no longer have
the control of the men which they pos
sessed under the empire.
The socialists are conducting an ac-
tive propaganda, and in this are aided
and abetted by the German socialists.
There is need of food for the people
and the army. munitions for the army,
and, above all, transportation.
So grave are the problems, so con-
slant the intrigues against the govern
ment, which are in part German in
spired, which the American people and
the allies must prepare for the eventu-
ality that the Russian troops will no
longer be of much service.
That the present government will
make peace is not believed. 1t may
be driven to extreme lengths, how
ever. in order to save itself from over
throw.
Fortunately for the Russian armies,
the Germans are prevented from max
ing a vigorous offensive, largely be-
cause of weather conditions, and to
a minor extent because of the heavy
attacks which the British and French
are delivering on the west front.
When the weather let's up and the
ground becomes dry it is possible Won
Hindenburg may direct an advance,
with Petrograd as the objective.
