The first attempt to found an African
settlement for liberated slaves was
made 100 years ago when Sierre Leone
on the west coast of Africa, was or
ganized for that purpose. DR.. Sheath
man was the author of the scheme, and
Captain Thompson, in 1856 purchased
the territory from King Tom, of the
Timmanehs and commenced the settle
inent with 400 negroes and sixty En-
ropeans. The hostility of the natives
and the shiftlessness of the black col
onists resulted in the failure of the first
attempt. In 1891 the survivors were
collected and new settlement was
started. with a colony Of 1900 negroes
from Nova Scotia and the Bahamas.
The American negroes were much more
successful, and Sierra Leone is now a
prosperous colony. In 1922 a similar
colony was established to the south Of
Sierra Leone, and it became the refuge
for freed blacks of the United States,
as Sierre Leone had been for those Of
British possessions. The American
colony became the independent republic
Of Liberia in 1S47.

BILL FOR
 RAISING WAR REVENUES
To be Submitted to Ways and Means Committee Not Later Than Mon day.

Washington, April 26.-A tentative bill for raising war revenues during the coming year probably will be pre- sented to the ways and means com mittee not later than Monday by the subcommittee drafting the measure. The list of suggestions submitted by Secretary McAdoo for the information of congress is expected to be followed closely, though it is said to be unlikely that it will contain provisions for re- troa ctive income and excess profits taxes, consumption taxes or tariff changes.
 Present indications are that the bill will carry items totalling only about $1 800 900 900. The secretary's sugges- ton would have brought in s1, ,SO0,- 900, 900. which. it was thought, would meet half the expenses of the first year of the war.
 Three or four weeks may be spent in deliberation on the bill in full com rnittee. Provisions for obtaining all has been made and the committeeman are inclined to take their time about formulating fair revenue bill.
 While no vote has been taken on committee. its members are virtually agreed on all features except income and excess profits taxes. These are causing much discussion and the sub committee did not meet today in order to give it's experts an opportun- ity to prepare statistics on excess profits for resentation tomorrow.
 There has been a great deal of ar gument over whether the income tax exemption shall be lowered to $1oo0 for single men and q, 800 or $2.000 for married persons, from the present figures. $3,o00 and $4.000. Most mem bers of the sub committee are under stood to be willing to lower the exemp- ton for single persons to $1,000 if the full committee deems it advisable, but they arc at loggerheads on the figures for married persons. Some maintain that the married persons should be al- lowed $1 900 greater exemption than single, while others are holding out for only $500.
