.PR0HIbITIvE TAX PUT ON WHISkEY
 IN REVENUE BILL
Impost of $20 a Bushel on Foodstuffs Means Levy
 of $9 a Gallon.

Washington, June 5-Distillers' rep resentatives declared today that the manufacture of whiskey and other spirits during the war would be vir- tually stopped under the prohibitive tax on grain, molasses and other in gredients, written into the war tax bill by the senate finance commit tee.
 The prohibition feature still has to be acted on by the senate. and the house before being effective.
 The committee reviewed today wine and beer taxes and documentary stamp taxes in the bill.
 General suspension of beverage production by distil1eries, and use of liquor now in bonded warehouses, probably would be the effect of the new tax section if enacted into law. Curtailment of liquor consumption during the war and conservation of foodstuffs used in manufacturing dis titled spirits, Chairman Simmons said constituted the dual object .of the committee in adopting the substitutes for the House rates. Manufacture of alcohol for industrial, mechanical or medicinal purposes would not be af- fected, he said.
 In addition to the present tax of $2.20 per gallon on liquor, a tax of $20 per bushe1 (from $5 to $9 a gal lon) upon all grain, cereal or other foodstuffs used in manufacturing whiskey or other distilled spirits for use as beverages was written into the bill
 Senator Simmons said the increase would be prohibitive upon manufac- ture while the law is in effect, or during the war. Increased taxes of $5 per gallon upon molasses, syrups and substitutes used in distillation for beverage purposes also was agreed upon. Permits for exportation would be given only for war purposes upon application by a nation at war with Germany

M'ADOO MAKES
 PLEA 10 PEOPLE FOR LOAN BONDS
Subscriptions of $50 and / $100 by Mass of People

WBLLnA 1CiffifT'

Boston, June 5-Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo arrived here today to make an appeal ro~ the people of New England to subscribe hberally to the Liberty Loan.
 In statement Secretary McAdoo laid stress on the need of small sub scriptions to the bond issue. Our people," he said, rmust be made to reaiize that a loan of this size is too great for the banks to handle alone, and that this great volume of money must be made up by the $50 and $1O0 subscriptions. of the mass of the peo- pie. Moreover, wide popular sub scription to this loan indicates great CT national unity in this emergency and provides a more effective answer to the Kaiser's challenge to civil1za- tion. Wide distribution of this in vestment means also less displace- ment of business.
 The first necessity in carrying on war is money. This is called the Liberty Loan because the money de- rived from it will be dedicated to the cause of liberty throughout the world We are now engaged in a death strug- gle between progressive civilization and the foes of progressive civilization Free and progressive America belongs in a fight of this kind ~
 eve are sending our soldiers to the field and expecting them to make the supremist sacrifice that a patriot can make. We must not be less willing to acquire the sacrifices of property needed to make our soldiers effective on the field. The soundness of our prosperity can only be conserved by the application of wholesome taxa ton, because we cannot afford 70 take the risks of the unrestrained in- fiation that win come from bond 1s- sues alone."

that on the night Darcy died in a
