been made along lines such as have
been followed during this session,
The manner in which the privi-
lege accorded has been taken adyan-

THE oPTIMIsT VIEW.

There Is ground for hope. says George f.
Roberts, author. publicist and former director
of the mint. that the present alliance OF the
chief dernoeracies OF the world viii lead to a
permanent organization for the judicial treat
raent of all questions arising out of interna-
tional relations 1t is clearly desirable also
that a more cooperative organization OF the
productive forces of the world shall follow the
war and more general understanding OF the
fundamental truth that the real interests of ali
peoples are naturally complementary and har-
monious instead OF antagonistic and conflict
ing
Notwithstanding al the horrors OF this con-
fIic1 the feeling Is everywhere IN evidence that
out Of II Is coming good 10 the world Ii IS not
altogether easy tc see how s1ch enormous waste,
debt. suffering and privaIion can benefit human
ity: still the belief persists ike a sub-consclous
conviction not TO be reasoned away. Yet civil
za1icn was never before subjected TO such a
strain rs this. and epochs Of eAhaustlng wars
hare In the past brought barbar1sm In their
train.
And yet humanity Is expected to come i'm
proved ont OF the most flghtful war OF all
Civilization Is thought to be strong enough to
Withstand the depraved Influences, and so far
seems to be- Certainly the nobler nations have

kind for German barbarities. They have NAL
treated no prisoners, murdered no non-com-
batants but have spared the lives of their en-
enlies wherever possible. The great democracies
have not relapsed into sayagery, and there Is
reason 10 hope that their civilization may
stand the strain, as ours did IN the civil war
and come unbrutaIzed and undegraded out OF
the conflict.
AS for the cohesion of the interests OF the
nations Of which Mr.. Roberts speaks, men are
coming 10 hold conception OF the world as an
organization Ike the human body of which all
the nations are members and so related that all
OF them share In the suffering or the welfare
OF one No body be well if part of it Is Ill.
and so we may in time discover that the
world can never be at IFS best until all the
peoples OF earth contribute to and share in the
common prosperity.

The excess profits tax provisions Of the war
revenue bill, as rewritten by the finance com
mittee, are better than those, Of the house meas
ure. Intelligent students of the war taxation
problem. including Otto H Kahn, have pointed
out that no one, so far as it is possible to pre-
vent ii, should be permitted TO make money
cut of war In which the country is engaged,
and the senate committee did well to decide up
on a tax on excess profits Of industry due to war
conditions. War profits are to be determined
BY deducting the average for q prewar period
from the net income for the taxable year. Much
will depend on the way this provision is en-
forced. but no mistake viii be made if an ex-
ample set by the British government is fol
lowed. England has imposed an excess profits
tax on business during the war, but merely to
the extent that these profits are attributable to
the war.

"The Little Yank." /"

Dorothy Gish is the star of the Tri-
angle play, "The Little Yank," which
will be the Sunday attraction at the
Gem. ''The Little Yank" is a civil
war drama in which the heroine, a
northern girl, living on disputed
ground in Kentucky, becomes the
sweetheart of-sa Confederate officer.
She is loved by Union officer, and
both she and this northern suitor find
their way into the Confederate lines,
he as spy and she to nurse her
wounded brother. The complications
that ensue come very near to costing
the young Confederate his life, but
the girls strategy saves them both.
There are a number of realistic bat
tie scenes, with many hundreds of
men, horses and guns. The picture is
full Of war and romance, and Miss
Gish is said to have one of the most
appealing roles in which she has yet
appeared.
