.DRAF TING NATIONAL GUARD INTO SERVICE
 MAY BE DELAYED
Plan of Taking Units in Three Increments May Work Unfairly in
 Grade of Officers

Washington, June 22.-Drafting of the National Guard into the federal armies for war service may be de- layed until August 5, because it has been found that under the present plans for drafting the guard in three increments, July Is, July 25 and Au- gust ,, the relative rank of it's off cers would be established on an unfair basis. The national defense act pro- vides that National Guard officers shall take rank as of the date of draft
 The additional time gained by post poning the draft until August would be valuable to the department in mak ing ready the divisional camp sites at which the state forces will be mobil- ized.
 The desire of various parts of the country as to the time when the guard shall be assembled have been conflict ing. The department has receiys4 nu- merous requests on the one hand for early drafting of forces from some states, members of Congress stating that the troops were ready and eager foll the call, while from other sections, notably agricultural regions, requests for delay have come as the loss of the number of men involved during the harvest period might create labor shortage.
 Reports from quartermaster con- tracts show that clothing, tentage and other equipment for the troops will be available. There are sufficient rifles in store to arm every regiment fully. Signal corps and engineer equipment will be available on time and the only delay anticipated will be with artil- lery.
 On the basis of present returns there will be enough infantry regiments to organize immediately after the draft IS or IA of the 16 divisions with d number of regiments left over from the nucleus of the other divisions

Intricacies of Excess Profit Tax Takes Time
 of Senate Committee

Washington, June 22.-Intricacies of the excess profits tax occupied the Senate finance committee all of today in it's re- vising of the war revenue bill, and fur Ither discussion of the publishers tax
 probably will be postponed until next week.
 Application of the excess profits tax to individuals in addition to corporations and partnerships has complicated the work of completing that section. Ex- emptions still are under discussion and the rate to be levied remains to be finally settled.
 Undisturbed surplus of corporations. the committee has decided. will be reached by surtax in imposing the ex- cess profits tax. Some surtax ex- emptions, however, will be allowed on undistributed surplus.

REED DENOUNCES

Senator Reed, speaking in the Senate, again denounced the bill as a viola ton
 of constitutional rights. He said he fa- vored punishment of food spectators and headers, but maintained it is mot neces- sary to punish the vast multitude of peo- pie in order to reach the occasional crim- inal.''
 This bill is not the innocent mild, . gentle and persuasive measure which has been presented to the pubic,'' he said. 'It does, in fact, create not only food dictatorship, but also business and wage dictatorship. Tn some respects it is with out precedent or parallel in the legislative
 enactments of any modern nation, repub- lican or monarchy
 Senator Reed said if spectators have been able to control the food products of l00,000O00 people and the facts are so well known as to warrant congressional action and to demand the appointment of food dictator, why have the conspirators not been brought to condign punishment
