Would Give Federal Clerks Right of
Way On Cars.
To the Editor Of THE TINES:
travel daily on Fourteenth street
cars, transferring to get to the new
Interior Department building. 1 new
er get a seat, but stand In crowded
aisle all the way, being pushed and
damned. All must thus suffer.
This congestion could easily be
remedied by citizens not in the de-
partments waiting till past $50 q. m.
10 go down town. Instead of this,
II appears many persons select the
very hour when they must know de-
partmental people are on the way
to office. These Federal employees
must get to their desks before a. IN.
Young women will sally forth from
to $50, and expect men to get up
and give them seats. As a rule, they
get left on this proposition, for street
cars have fully developed the hu-
man hog who pushes old people aside
and obtains a seat In advance, and
the aforesaid hogs keep the seats.
Still, when men and women do not
need to hurry and could easily ac-
commodate themselves by starting
from home at a little later hour, 1t
Is the proper thing to make them
stand as a penalty for taking such
an inopportune time to 60 shopping,
to visit, to make calls, or to at
tend to business which well might
walt thirty minutes.
All such people who start from
their homes about $50 a. m. or start
home about 4:3O D. m. should be
given to understand that decency
requires them to give the right of
way to departmental people.
VIII not the good people who feel
like going to the business part of
the city help the department clerks
by giving them room in the car in
the morning and evening when cars
must be used? To inject themselves
into the cars at such inopportune
times Is to make II wearisome on
many who are thereby bound to
stand all the way. II also Is weari-
some to shoppers who, II seems to
me, should have long since learned
the good practice to select a time
to attend to business when car con-
gestion would be less.
Only this morning I observed about
dozen people in my car who left
home long before II was necessary.
Will not the people think of these
conditions and help a suffering pub
lie? G. c. R

Attention Focused On Seas.

The most encouraging feature OF the
situation Is that at last there is a thor
ough appreciation OF what the problem
Is that must be dealt with. The cam
paign in the north OF France no longer
Is looked upon as probably marking the
beginning of the wars end. The public
is indulging in fascinating dreams OF an
early victory through success in that
quarter. Attention Is being given more
and more to the maritime problem. while
the military situation is considered in a
satisfactory position
The same energy and enterprise de-
voted to the submarine problem that
made 1t possible for England to raise
and equip its army Of 100000 men in
fewer than three years. will bring a solu-
ton Of the submarine problem; and re-
store something like the original rela-
tionship OF powers on the sea. Tardily.
but with all zeal and determination. the
British government Is turning its atten-
ton to this problem OF the sea. There
Is no thought OF failure. no hesitation II

DO only one result-the conquest OF the
submarine and the restoration Of the

Such a complete revolution in the
military and naval situation Is hardly
yet appreciated in all its Significance
even by experts. That the submarine
and the contact mine should have
wrested from the English navy the
control OF the seas Is an astonishing
development: yet at the beginning OF
the war II would have been reEarded
as more probable than that England
inside of three years would be able
to build an army equal to that OF Ger
many. II new weapons have given a
new power to Germany on the sea the
new English army has given a new
weight to England on the land. The
elements in this war are different
from those in any that has gone be-
fore and II has taken nearly three
years to get even an approximate ap-
praisal of their Importance.
Unless the submarine can be def
nitely subjuERted II must be accepted
as having completely revolutioniZed
the whole art OF naval war. There
will be no such thing as free ocean
highway in the future. There can be
no reasons bic guarantee OF security
in war time unde- the rules that
Germany has made in this war and
so long as the submarine continues as
effective as 1t now Is. The effetls OF

the same basis as corporations. The
individual tax would be additional to
the income tax.

sonally and not in corporate or part
ncrship form. The tax, it is expected,
will apply also TO professional men,
such as physicians and dentists.

upon corporations the committee de-
cided to allow the $4,000 exemption
and also an additional exemption OF
6 per cent upon capital actually in

three years preceding the war.

Extension Of Credit
Greatest War Weapon

Kansas City, June 22.-Extension
OF credit to small and weak countries
is one of the most powerful influences
that the United States and its allies
may develop against Germany and
Austria, said DR.. Edward E. Pratt,
chief OF the federal bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, in an address
before the National Association OF
Credit Men in convention here today,
DR.. Pratt declared that the central
powers are already planning to domi-
nate the worlds trade after the war
and that plans have been perfected
whereby l20,000,000 people, the total
population of Germany and Austria
Hungary, will buy their supplies from
the rest OF the world as unit. United
production and selling agencies also
will be backed by the German gov
ernment, he said, adding:
"One OF the most important and
effective steps that the entente pow
ers and this country can take is TO
so organize our facilities for extend
ing credit that never in the future
shall smaller and weaker countries
he forced to depend upon power so
dangerous to their freedom"
