On Pope's Proposals;
Germany's Hand Is Seen

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The proposals OF
Pone Benedict, notwithstanding many
wholly unsatisfactory features, "Ihe
Daily Telegraph" thinks, mark per-
ceptible advance toward the formula
ton of such a peace as the Allies de-
manG and the world needs. The note,
Il SAYS, creates a new situation, ana
il NAV we'll represent what Austria
Hungary, South Germany and a strong
body Of opinion in East Prussia Itself
are trying 70 force upon the German
imperial government.
Nevertheless, as the basis Of peace
negotiations the note is, IN The Iele-
graphs" opinion, wholly inadmissible
and very far indeed from the satisfying
requirements Of just peace as stated
in the Allied note to the United states
in January.
"The Daily News" finds the note con-
siderably less important than the sum-
maries indicate and described 1t as a
rather weak and plaintiye document.
1t adds:
at is a series of ASPIRATIONS. not a
basis of settlement. II the Pope can
persuade the warning nations to build
on his foundation, well and good. but
if he has reason to believe his efforts
will be uccessful it must rest on some
other basis than the proposals them
selves. To take one instance only:
Germany is to guarantee with the other
powers the independence OF Belgium.
That is master stroke of irony, but
it is in place in an earnest and sim
cere appeal for peace"
THE Daily Chronicle makes a SIM
liar point, saying: is it safe TO stake
our whole future on scraps OF paper
signed by the Hohenzollerns and the
Hapsburgs? President Wilson has
ASKED this question, though the Pope
does not.
The Daily Maip declares that the
suggestions in the note are impossible,
because the note is so clearly OF leu
tonic origin. 1t adds: THE harder
Germany is pressed the more des-
perately will she seek expedients TO
deceive her enemies. The more reso-
lutely. therefore, must We be TO discuss
no terms of peace until We have gained
the victory"

WAR REVENUE BILL PASSED
Went Through Yesterday by Vote OF
a29 to 76.

Washington, May 24.-The war
revenue bill, framed to bring into the
treasury $1,S00,000,000 through new
taxation during the coming year,
passed the House by vote OF 1923 TO
rs late yesterday in almost the same
form that it was presented by the
ways and means committee two weeks
ago.
All the opposing votes were cast
by republicans, although there are
many members on the democratic
side strongly opposed to certain sec
lions OF the measure. Virtual re-
drafting of the bill in the Senate is
regarded as certain. Material changes
already are contemplated by the Sen
ate finance committee as a result Of
public hearings held during the long
debate in the House. Final passage
OF the bill probably cannot be accom-
plished in less than a month.
Outstanding features OF the bill are
the greatly increased income. inher-
itance, excess profits, liquor and cigar
and tobacco taxes. virtual abolition of
the present customs free list and a
10 per cent addition to existing tariffs.
new taxes on manufactures, amuse-
ments clubs, public utilities and in
surance. a far-reaching stamp tax and
greatly increased second-class mail
matter rate based on the parcelpost
zone system;
In only four particulars does the
measure now differ substantially from
the original draft Surtaxes on in
comes above $4,000 have been in
creased about one-fourth above the
committee schedule Several articles
including print paper and pulp and
gold and silver slated for a 10 per
cent duty, have been kept on the
free list. Slight reductions in the
second-class mail matter rate have
been made. Proposed per cent tax
on all advertising except newspaper
and periodical Is eliminated.
Attacks on the bill in the Senate
will center around the excess profits
income and manufactures taxes and
the second-clcass mail rate increase
sections. Business men generally are
protesting vigorously against the
taxes and virtually every publisher in
the country is opposing the drastical-
" increased mail rate

his party votes in support OF the meas

clared that he had been informed

aiNrsLEN PLEADS AGAIN
Faces 81 Years in Prison If Found
Guilty OF New Charges.

New York, May 24.--Captain Fran
Won Rintelen, who was sentenced Il
term OF one year on Monday for con-
spring to violate the Sherman Anti
Trust act in trying to block shipments
of munitions TO the Allies, pleaded
not guilty before Federal Judge Mar
tin T. Manton nthe Federal District
Court yesterday to three other indict-
ments charging crimes which might
be punished by sentences aggregating
twenty-seven years.
One charges forging the name of
Edward V. Gates to a passport. An
other indictment charges Won Rintelen
with committing perjury in obtaining
this passport. The third indictment
charges that he conspired with An
drew d. Meloy to defraud the Govern
ment by obtaining the false passport.
This is not necessarily all that Won
Rintelen will have to face. His alleg-
ed part in the conspiracy to send
Huerta into Mexico in 1915 with an
expedition TO raise q new revolution
against Carranza is still under inyes-
tigation. Assistant United States
District Attorney John C. Knox said
the German Captain would probably
be put to trial on one of the new
charges during June.
