MONGOLIA ATTACKED
 TWICE BY U-BOATS
GUNNERS ARE CONVINCED THEY SANK SUBMARINE ON OUT
 WARD TRIP.
LIEUT.. WARE FIRED SHOT
On Return Trip Torpedo Was Fired at American Ship Of sciily Islands Wake of Missile Seen By Gun
 ner in the Clear Moonlight.

New York-The steamship Mongo- lia of the Atlantic Transport Line was attacked twice by German submarines, once crossing the Atlantic and the sec ond time returning, according to the story told at an Atlantic port by the United States naval gunners assigned to protect the vessel on the high seas.
 The steamship, the ginners are con- fidant, had narrow escape from being sunk on the return voyage. They related that while off the Scilly Is lands, about 12 o'clock on the night of May 4, and with the moon shining, the lookout discerned the white wake of a torpedo extend itself across the bow, stretching from right to left. The missile, it is declared, passesl close to the vessel.
 The gunners sprang to their posi- tions and brought their defense gun to bear on the spot whence the torpedo was supposed to have come. No signs of a submarine, however, could 2e seen. The gun was discharged and q careful watch maintained for some time, but the submarine gave no tur- ther evidence of her presence.
 On the voyage over, the gunners said, they saw the coming tower of a U-boat off the port bow and the G. inch stern gun was fired, the tower, however, having disappeared in the meanwhile Then periscope pro, iected itself above the water off the starboard bow and the gunners fired again.
 The periscope immediately disap- peared and above the surface of the water there arose a white gas or va DOT. The gunners are convinced from this that they had succeeded in send ing one of the kaiser's U-boats to the bottom of the sea for good.
 The gunners were confident that the attack on the way over was conducted by a submarine and that she diyed right under the Mongolia in order to secure a more advantageous position from which to launch torpedo.
 The Mongolia's gunners number 1T men, under command of Lieut.. Ware, T. s. N. They include men making the best records at target practice in the Atlantic feet. They could hardly repress their pride in telling of their escapes.
 The gunners on the Mongolia were jubnant upon their arrival. They re- iterated their conviction that the shot on ApriE 19 sank the submarine. It was fired, Lieut.. Ware said, by James A Goodwin, gunner's mate, of Ports mouth, Va.

BILLION ASKED 10
 BUILD FOOD FLEET
CONGRESS- WILL BE REQUESTED TO APPROPRIATE THAT SUM-
 IS SHIPPING BOARD PLAN.

ington.-Congress will be ask ed to appropriate $1,000,000000 for the building of the great American merchant fleet, which is to overcome the submarine menace.
 The programme evolved by the ship ping board contemplates the diversion to government uses of the products of every steel mill in the country, can cellation of existing contracts between those mills and private consumers and, where necessary, payment ot damages by the government to the parties whose contracts are cancelled.
 Estimates of the shipping board are that 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 tons of steel and wooden vessels will be construct ed by the government during the next two years.
 The only manufacturers of steel to be exempted from the programme will be those needed otherwise for the na- tional defense. Bills for introduction in Congress have been prepared and the administration hopes to get them under way so promptly that the first of the ship building operations may be in motion within two weeks.
 Cooperation of the labor organiza- tions has already been pledged, it is understood, and there will be no legis- lation, unless the present programme is changed, looking to the drafting of the labor necessary to carry out the plans.
 The only other exception to the gen eral cancellations of private contracts with steel mills will be those of rail roads. Steel mills, it is contemplated will be permitted to supply them with the minimum amount of steel prod ucts with which the railroads can get along.
 It may be unnecessary for the gov ernment actually to take over the ship building yards of the country and they probably will be operated by their present owners under strict govern mental supervision.
 The programme contemplates the use, to the maximum, of every re source within the United States speed fly to design and build the largest number of ships possible. Should the number of vessels thus turned out be Inadequate to meet the German sub marine ship building facilities will be increased.

INCOMES ARE HIT HARD
New Revenues Will Produce Total of $1,8OO,o ,o0o 900 for the Year-Ex- emption Limits on Incomes Reduced to $1 900 for Sin
 gle Men and $2,oO0
 for Married Men.

Washin@ton.-The war revenue bill, largest in the nations history, estimat- ed to produce $1 S00,000,000 for the ex- penses of the war, was completed by the ways and means committee Tues day night and introduced in the house Wednesday.
 If the framers overlooked any tan gible article upon which it is possible to levy tax, it was not because of any desire to do so.
 Incomes, inheritances, business prof its, amusements, liquors, tobacco, auto mobiles, moving pictures, baseball games, medicines, letter postage, trans portation and jewelry are among some of the things which will feel the bur der of taxation.
 Tariff Wifi Yield S2o0,0o0, 900. .4 The committee found it necessary to go to the tariff to make up a deficit of something like $200O00,000. This was done by an agreement to d tax of 10 per cent upon all articles now on the free list and 10 per cent additional upon all articles now upon the dutiahle list.
 Income-tax increases as made public by Chairman Kitchin follow:
 Taxes for the year ending December 31, 1916. have been increased exactly one-third. These taxes are due in June.
 Exemption limits have been reduced to $1,ooo for single men and s2,ooo for married men.
 The normal tax on new classes of incomes to be taxed, those between s1 900 and $3,ooo for single men and between $2.C0o and $4,o00 for married men, has been fixed at 2 per cent. Normal taxes on all incomes former Iy taxed, those above S3,oo0 for single men and $4Iooo for married men, have been increased from to 4 per cent.
 Increases in All Surtaxes.

The Hull House, one of the first American settlements, was established in Chicago in September 1889. It rep resented no association, but was opened by two women backed by many friends, in the belief that the mere foothold of house, easily accessible, situated in the midst of the large for eign colonies, would in itself be serv- iceable in a large city. The Hull House work consists of class lectures, public discussions, trade unions, arts and crafts, a music school, theater, a

"There is no occasion for a food panic in this country nor any justifca- ton for outrageous prices unless the opposition of special interests defeats the president in obtaining the neces- sary power to control the nations food fully and adequately" he, said, Ameri- ca's problem isn not one of famine, for we have now and will have next year a large surplus.
 "Our problem is, after the proper protection of our own people, to give to our allies the last ounce of surplus of which we are capable"
The Green Forest tribune., 1917-05-18

Eleven million male citizens from twenty-one to thirty years old, inclu- sive, will be subject to draft by the president of the United States.
 But in order that men under twenty one and over thirty may serve their country if they so desire, the measure provides for the acceptance of Volun- teers over eighteen years and under forty years.
 The gigantic number of men subject to draft will not all be called to the colors by any means. The proposed law gives authority to the president to draft as many men as he deems nee .essary to fill up the regular army, the National Guard and the conscription force of 100000 men.
 2,oo1 ,ooo Armed Men.
 It is estimated by the war depart . ment that as result of the authority conferred and the action to be taken 2,001 ,000 officers and men will com prise the military establishment of the United States.
 Under the new bill agreed to author ity is given to fill up by draft the reg ular army and the National Guard to war strength, and to raise outside this 100000 men, 100000 to come as the first quota.
 The war strength of the regular army is about 29O000 men. It has about 155,000. The National Guard has war strength of 625,000 men. It has now about 125,000 and is short about 500,000 men.
 Therefore, on the first call there can be taken for war service about 655,000 men to fill up gaps in the regular army and National Guard and in addition 500,000 as the first quota of the con- script army of 100000 men.
 In the first draft it is possible about 1,155,000 men will be taken for active service, leaving authorization under the present bill to call out immedl- ately 500,000 more for another con script army.
 No Place for Roosevelt.
 The action allowing Col. Theodore Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for eign service has been eliminated.
 What the colonel will do now that his pet project is incapable oferealiza- ton is a question. It is generally un- derstood that President Wilson is ab- solutely opposed to the idea of vol unteer organization under command of the colonel.
 Pay for enlisted men and non commissioned officers was agreed upon as follows:
 Men now receiving less than $21 !. per month are increased to $31 per month; those who received $24 are increased to $32; men who receive $50, $36 or $40 are increased $6 each; men who receive $45 are increased to $50.
 Army Officers Pleased.
 Army officers received notice of the age limit with pleasure. They had expected a higher maximum, though they would rather have had the orig inal ages of nineteen to twenty-five.
 A new section in the bill authorizes the president to organize and equip three machine-gun companies for each infantry and cavalry brigade and four machine-gun companies and an armored motorcar for each in- fantry and cavalry division,
 An interesting change is that the draft will not be based upon the num- Der of persons available for serv- ice," as first proposed, but upon the population.
 A man may register by mail, if nee essary Fraud in registration, exam ination, etc, is punishable by the same Imprisonment, "or, if subject to
