MARINES ANXIOUS
TO GO OVER THERE
Trained to the Minute and
Full of Pep They Chafe
at Delay
KNOW WHY WE'RE AT WAR

Possed by the Committee on Public Inform alton
A MARINE CANToNMENT IN AMERICA,
oct. g.
The marines are waiting the word to go
over there" Thousands Of them-the
number cannot be rcvealed-are trained TO
the minute. All they need is the order TO
embark And it is plain, from watching
these soldiers OF the sea" on review and
in action, that not much tune will be re-
duired after they get to the battlefront TO
show they are ready for front-lne trench
duty.
As the period Of training OF company
after company OF marines approaches its
close this great cantonment is fairly vibrant
with expectancy. Almost unbelievable
strides have been made in whipping into
shape the thousands Of recruits in this pop
ular arm of the service. The yearning for
the great adventure thrills officers and men
alike. Rumors that certain companies
soon will be on their way are eagerly dis
cussed, but none could say just when. and
so the excitement from commander TO pri-
vate remains at well nigh fever heat.
"Ready to 60? Sure VIC are ready to
go!" exclaimed a major Were ready TO
get off the boat shooting
The prospect Of two or three more months
of training on the other side is not looked
forward to with pleasure by the marines.
They believe they are ready to go into the
trenches today. So do their officers
The marine corps en- duty here, from
general to second Lieutenant, believe their
men form the finest army the world has
over seen. Thor fine spirit is but ono Of
the qualities Of which their commanders
are proud More than so per cent Of the
men at present in the marine corps, Il was
pointed out today are men with at least a
high school education. Among the enlisted
men are many college graduates.
Marine corps officers are proud too, Of
the fact that every marine knows what the
war Is about why the United States is I'm
the war and what we hope to get out of
IT, in the ranks are some born fighters
who do not care what the fight is about
so long as there is fight. Many Of them
are Irish The vast majority of the men
enlisted five or six months ago because of
a firm conviction that the Kaiser must be
whipped if the world Is TO bo made fit
place to live in.
"Do you mean TO remain in the marine
corps after the war IS over?'
The question invariably brings this an
swer.
Certainly not. I've got wife Cor bust
| ness or youngster) at home that must be
taken care Of. All enlisted for was to he'll
| settle this thing right. After that there
won't be any more wars. What use would
| be in the marine CORPSE"

.STOKOWSKI ADVOCATES
FINE ARTS MINISTRY
Orchestra Leader Believes Presi-
dents Cabinet Should Have
Additional Member
Bv MIISS

Leopold Stokowskl, looking as brown as
an Indian, has come back from his summer
vacation in Seal Harbor, Me- with his
blond head chock full Of ideas enough to
last him all winter
After the rehearsal OF his men today the
leader OF the Philadelphia Orchestra sat
down and expounded some OF them with
enthusiasm.
In the first place Mr. Stokowsk has de-
cided that President Wilson ought TO have
another member in his Cabinet-a Min
lister OF Fine Arts-whose one concern would
be to foster the talent OF young and impe-
cunlous musicians and artists, who would
put art into politics, II necessary--auythlng
to give 1t hearing In America.
They do 1t in France" Mr. Stokowski
said why not here?" And even the
ribald suggestion that a Chicago pork
packer or n gang leader Of the Bloody
FIFTH" type might be slipped in as a Min
lister did not dampen his enthusiasm
But ono OF the plans most interesting TO
those who look for musical Innovations is
the symphony leaders, determination TO give
as much impetus TO American music as his
patrons in his judgment will stand
while was on my vacation" he said.
Il went over the works of some 200 young
American composers. I was looking for
material and / sifted and I sifted until ]
found that there were about eighteen that
l Coulu use Ot these works OF Stillman-
Kelly, Philip Goepp and Arthur Foote will
be given very soon.
II found among this American music some
very decided talent; real musical ideas
Often il was badly expressed But the
symphony composer does not have a real
chance. That Is why we should have n
minister of fine arts and n national con.
servatory where these young men could hear
their works played and could see their
errors. That is the only way we shall
develop music in America

BRITISH PLAN FOR REAL
WEALTH CONSCRIPTTON
Government Virtually Decides on
Direct Levy Upon Capital
After War Ends
BEST WY OUT OF CRISIS

LONDON. oct. ..
England is preparing to conscript capital
literally.
There has been a great deal of talk about
conscrption of wealth in connection with
the war. but II has meant only high income
taxes excess profits taxes and lcvies Of that
sort. The British Government today has
virtually decided to take the next step and
levy directly on capital Barring change
of opinion in the meantime on the part of
those responsible for the British financial
policy, such a levy will be made soon after
the war ends.
This. possibly the most radical financial
Innovation that has resulted from the war,
is due to the conviction that it is, If not
the one way out. at least the best way out,
from under the terrific financial burden the
war will leave the empire.
At the end Of the war Great Britain viii
face the necessity Of providing two and
one-half billion dollars or more annual
revenue. 1t will cost half that to meet
the running expenses of the Government,
and the greater part OF the other half TO
meet the interest on war loans. The est-
mate for pensions is now $25O,OOO,oOO
year.
II the present revenue OF the Govern
ment could continue after the war-and the
war ended now--it would meet the ex-
penses outlined. Last year close to $1,000
100000 was raised by taxation But $1OO,-
100000 of that was raised by the excess
profits tax, which expires with the war.
Other large additions were from taxes not
expected to produce in the same ratio after
the war. 1t is roughly figured that taxa
tion can produce $1,750OOO,OOO after the
war, when $4,000, 100000 will be needed.
A levy on capital will do it, in the opin-
lon of Government officials. They estimate
capital in private ownership has increased
In Great Britain from $4,000, 100000 TO
500, 900, 900 900 since the war began. One
plln IS for a levy of 10 per cent of this
wlping out half the war debt
The strongest argument for the plan is
that it would not actually diminish the ma
tion's capital. according to its proponents
1t would simply transfer ownership Of part
of II to the State. The State would become
q partner in Industries.
From the standpoint OF the social reor-
Ranzation which the Government agrees is
coming after the war, one conservative Off
cial said
Nothing would go farther to remove the
danger OF discomfort"

"GULF OIL" LOSES
INCOME TAX SUIT
u. S.. Court Reverses Lower
Courts Ruling Made Against
Revenue Collector

Reversing a decision by the Federal Court
at Pittsburgh, Judge Mcpherson, Of the
United States Circuit Court Of Appeals, In
an opinion today upheld Collector Of Inter-
nal Revenue Lewellyn in imposing income
taxes amounting to S114,244.40, against t:,e
Gulf OIL Corporation, of Pittsburgh, Pa.
This sum, however. is increased to nearly
100000 through interest accruing while the
case was awaiting decision.
One of the main points upon which the
case hinged was whether dividends earned
by corporations prior to the passage of the
income tax law of 1913, but declared and
paid subsequently to that date, were tax
able The present case presented such an
issue. Dividends amounting to $11,424,440
earned by five subsidiaries Of the Gulf Com
pany during several years prior TO the in
come tax law of 1913 were declared and
paid to- the parent company in 1914
Judge Orr, of the Federal court at Pitts
hurrh. upheld the contention Of the Gulf
OH Corporation that the dividends, were
not subject 10 the income tax because they
had been earned prior to it's passage, and
Therefore the parent company had an ac-
cfned Interest in them. As result Of
Judge Orr's decision the Government was
ordered TO refund the taxes collected, with
Interest TO the total amount OF Si2s,524.95,
Through United States District Attorney
ri Lowry Humes. Of Pittsburgh, the Gov
tfnrnent took an appeal and Mr.. Humes's
c0ntention that the dividends are subject
to the income tax is sustained by Judge Nc
Fherson IN his opinion. In reaching this
conclusion. Judge Mcpherson directs atten-
iion 70 the important fact that the levy by
the Collector for the taxes was not upon the
snbsldiaries Of the Gulf Company but upon
lls principal stockholder, the Gulf OIL Cor
uorall0n itself.
f'onrress. declared Judge Mcpherson has
attreed that dividends are income, and as
the dividends in the present case are In that
class. the fact that they had been earned
before the income act went into effect, but
raid subsequently. did not relieve the Gull
Eofporaflon OF the payment Of the tax.

Court No. from the decision of State
