THE REICHSTAG HEARS
SUBMARINES ARE WINNING
and More Than That Number Built
Thinks England Will Quit.

Amsterdam.-Acco to the &C
count given by the Tageblatt of Ber-
lin of the statement regarding subma-
rine warfare made to the reichstag
main committee by Vice Admiral Won
Capelle, minister of the navy, the Ger
mans in the first two months of unre-
stricted submarine operation lost only
six U-boats, number of which in the
same period was surpassed several
times by new construction.
The minister gave information re-
garding the number of submarines I'M
der construction or ready to be COM
missioned showing considerable in
crease. He said there was available
a sufficient stock of oil for the big
fighting ships and the submarines and
that all shipyards were fully occupied
with orders. He asserted the prestige
of the British had been shattered more
by the Skagerrak battle than by
U-boat warfare.
Dwelling on the submarine campaign
the admiral said neither the British
nor their allies dared publish the name
and tonnage of ships sunk The min
lister expressed the opinion that the
day was not for off when. Great Britain
must declare her readiness to enter

GENERAL JoFFRE's MESSAGE TO
PEOPLE OF THESE UNITED

ADDRESS TO NEWSPAPERMEN
the Line of Batte-Hasten End
of War-Favors American Of
ficers to Train Our Men.

hington.-Marshal Joffre told
the people of America Sunday through
Washington newspaper correspond
ents who called upon him that France
cherishes the confident hope that the
flag of the United States soon will
be flying on her battle lines.
The marshal, replying to questions,
said he deemed it advisable to send
one American unit at time to France
rather than to wait for the complete
equipment of big army, because of
transportation problems. He said, too,
that he did not think Americans now
with the French army should be with
drawn to serve under the American
flag, except, possibly, few specialists
who might be useful in developing
the training of the new American
force. He paid hearty tribute to the
valor of Americans now fighting for
France
American officers, he believed, were
fully competent to train American
men, and he gave it as his opinion
that an American army would devel-
OPP rapidly.

Submarines Do Great Work.

London--Sir Edward Carson, first
lord of the admiralty, told the house
of commons Monday that as the num-
Der of German submarines had in
creased, the danger to shipping must
be expected to increase in proper
ton. During April, he said, the loss
to shipping in the English channel
had been less than in any preceding
three months. This was partly due to
the increase of submarines in other
areas and partly as the result of an
increased number of patrol boats.
Generally, the first lord said, the
losses were increasing.

BIG FUSS is AROUSED
BY NEW WAR TAX BILL
Items on Excess Profits and Incomes
Cause in Split in the House
of REPRESENTATIVES.

Observation-Disclosures accounts of
the work in the house ways and means
subcommittee framing the war tax bill
have aroused storm. Democrats are
understood to be divided on the pro-
posed income taxes, particularly the
rates on incomes of more than $780,
900, while republicans threaten trouble
over plans for taxes on excess profits
and incomes. They also promise to
fight for tariff legislation to raise part
of the $780, 100000 or more to be pro-
vided during the coming year.
Reports that the income tax exemp-
ton for single persons had been low
cred to $1,000 came as surprise to
many committeeman. The understand
ing reached at an early meeting of the
full committee was that this exemp-
ton should be $500, and objection to
the $1,000 proposal probably will be
nonpartizan and strong.
An amendment of the excess profits
tax law to include many corporations
and persons not now embraced, instead
of merely increasing the present rates,
will be urged vigorously by republic
ans. The present law, committeeman
said Monday, affects only one corpora
ton in three earning more than the
present exemption.
Efforts. also will be made to amend
the law to reach unincorporated in
vestors such as individual sheep and
cattle raisers. The fight for taxing
large corporations with inflated stock
making less than per cent will be
continued vigorously.

SAYS RUSSIA IMPROVES
AT WAR PREPARATION
Minister kerensky Declares Army in
Better Shape and More Willing

Observation-Disclosures of Justice Ker-

ISOLATED Press recently that not only
is the army better prepared and more
willing to fight than before the revo-
luton, but that the factories are put
ting out more ammunition than at any
previous stage of the war.
Regarding peace, the minister said:
Russia wants peace on the terms pro-
posed by President Wilson. The revo-
luton and entrance of the United
States into the war have somewhat
changed the objects for which we are
fighting. We want peace restored
without annexation or indemnity and
favor conference with the allies to
determine how this can be attained"

clared their first aim would be to

inquisitorial and corrective powers,

Washington.-By an overwhelming

selective draft.
The final roll calls brought into
