 WASHINGTON. May 19.-In an ef- fort to whip the war tax bill into shape for final passage by Tuesday night, Democratic Leader Kitchin to- night called a special meeting of the ways and means committee for tomor- row to consider amendments Final dis position will be made then, if possible, of the troublesome second class mail rate increases and the advertising, au- tomObile and musical instrument taxes.
 Defeat of a proposal by Representa- tive Lenroot of Wisconsin to strike out the five per cent light and heat tax, and the adoption of an amendment low sring the express transportation tax from 10 to per cent were the out standing results of todays debate in the house. The Lentoot proposal was voted down 5S to 116. despite the fact that the Wisconsin representative had effected a S66,000, 900 increase in the income tax surtax scheduled largely by the argument that he intended they should substitute the light and heat levies.
 The proposed second class mail rate increases and the advertising tax are causing the committee much concern. With the committee virtually agreed to accept the Moon amendment on the second class mail rates. and stand by the five per cent tax on all advertis- ing except newspapers and periodicals low in the bill, Representative John- son of Washington, a newspaper pub fisher, and representative Fitzgerald ol New York, injected new proposals into the situation today which resulted ir he committee deferring final action until tomorrow

 With American destroyers al ready in European waters and army regulars ordered to carry the
 flag to the battle lines in Belgium and France, a regiment of marines was designated today to join the expeditionary forces and round out the national representation in the field.
 The marines will be attached to the army division under General
 Pershine, which is under orders to proceed abroad as soon as practic
 able. Although details are not being
 made public, 1t w>,s calculated to-
 night that with the marine regi
 nent the total American force now
 designated for land service in Eu-
 rope is close to 40,U0O. An army dI- vision at war strength comprises about 25,000 men and upwards Of 12,uoU are expected to be in the nine volunteer regiments of engineers
 now being recruited. The forestry regiment and the marine regiment each will number more than 1000.
 The strength of the naval force in European waters has net been
 revealed.
 general Pershing and his staff
 will sail for Europe ahead of the troops to pave the way for final
 training of the huge army the
 United States is preparing to pour
 across the seas as rapidly as men
 can be trained and equipped.
 For obvious reasons, no information as to the time of the American com departure or his destination will be made public.
 When General Pershing leaves, every detail of the organization and equip ment of his troops will have been worked out. Presumably he will have wide discretionary powers to cooperate With commanders of the French, Brit ish and Belgian forces.
 While attention here was centered on these immediate matters today the whole strength of the federal and state organizations was being prepared to complete a military census on June , Of the 10000. 900 men from whom will be selected 500,000 for the war army. For purposes of distinction the wal department has named the new force the national army.

Comparison Of Soldiers Pay

The American second-cIass pri-
vate receiving his foreign-ser-
vice pay of $33 month will be a
pIutocrat compared with the
French soldier who draws $3.50
every 80 days, scarcely enough
to keep the American in cigar
cites; but the French soldiers
wage is, in its turn, princely with
the 32c month which Russia al
lows its privates. Great Britain
is the most generous, paying its
privates $3.50 month at home
with an additional allowance in
foreign fields. Germany pays
her soldiers from &C to Zoe a day.
The French government has re-
vised its scale of pay since the
outbreak of war and the man in
the first line trenches now re-
ceives a franc a day $500 per
month"; but all others still re-
ceive 25 centimes five cents) per
day.
The pay of the American cap
tain compares favorably with
that of a British colonel, a French
brigadier-general, G m a n
brigadier-general, an Austrian
brigadier-general and an Italian
acknowledgement.
