Albany, Ga, April 6.-"Gladly would l have given my life to save my country from war, but now that my country has gone to war, gladly will give my life to aid it." This declaration, made by Will liam. Jennings Bryan, prefaced a lecture that he delivered here tonight under the auspices of the local Young Mems Chris tian association.
 MT. Bryan read copy of telegram he addressed to the President from Tal- lahassee. Fla, offering his services.
 We need not think of the past" the former Secretary of State said. "A dec- laration of war closes the discussion I have never doubted America's patriotism. While l was anxious to avoid war, 1 never lacked confidence in our patriotism. This government only has to state how many men are needed and they will re- spond. It only has to state how much money is needed and it will be forthcom- ing. There Is no country in the world whose citizens would be so willing to die for their liberties as this one,''

OTHER SOURCES

Revision of the excess profit tax likewise seems certain. The present measure, which allows an exemption of s5000 and taxes net earnings of corporations in excess of 8 per cent an- nually at the rate of per cent, k designed to yield s226,o0o,OO0 annual ly. Experts assigned the task of de vising methods of increasing the gov ernment's income have recently been studying somewhat similar methods of taxation in Great Britain and Frame and parallel measures in effect in Can ada which imposes taxes up to 25 per cent on net earnings.
 One estimate is that the government could obtain S1.O00. 100000 annually from this source instead of the $226,- 000.000 contemplated under the pres ent law.
 Other proposals include increased taxation on whisky, beer and tobacco, and revision of the estates tax.

Mondoy, May 2f. 1911

After weeks of uncertainty aris-
ING out Of the confusion attending
our entry into the war. Wall Street
is beginning TO form an opinion as
to what the future holds in store.
While hedged about with many
qualifications and subject to change
without notice, confidence in the out
look is nevertheless sufficiently
marked TO find more decided express
SION on the Stock Exchange than for
a long time past in the form of ac-
tive trading and higher prices.
Briefly. the current view of a ma
iority of Wall Street persons is tins:
That in spite of the huge financial
operations now under way, in spite
OF heavy taxation, which is already
being accepted almost as a matter
OF course; in spite of the certainty
of farreachng readjustments IN
business. and in spite of the spread
of a spirit of economy among the
reople. the volume of business Will
probably continue on rising scale
AT least as long as the war lasts and
perhaps longer.
1t is. of course, conceded that BUSH
ness cannot go on as usual, but, on
the other hand, it is generally be-
lieved that the great basic industries
transportation steel, etc.-have
ahead of them a long period of en-
ployment at full capacity of every
round of productive energy availa-
bic. and that can hardly fail to mean
prosperity for them. 1t is IN such
industries that Wall Street, or at
least that part of it which has main
IL TO do with the stock market, is
chiefly interested. Even allowing
for heavy taxation and for lower
prices on government supplies, the
steel trade, for instance, seems as
slred of profits which appear fan
tastic compared with those of nor
nal times. That is true also OF
other industries. Moreover, it is ar
gued that general business is bound
to receive tremendous impetus from
lavish expenditures for war. Seven
billions has already been provided
for; but that may be only the be-
ginning, and all of it is to be ex-
pended within our own borders.
Whether or not this view is war
ranted, it is the enc which now pre-
dominates in Wall Street, and it is
directly responsible for the higher
prices Of stocks.
