SUPPLIES MORE
VITAL THAN MEN
GUARD TROOPS WILL NOT SAIL.
FOR FRANCE IN NEAR
FUTURE.

Washington, oct. 27.-The date Of
the departure of the Kentucky Ma
tional Guard for France is farther
away than at first expected.
Americas allies across the ocean,
while desiring man power, are even
more in need of supplies than OF SOL
dicrs and the whole character of the
over-the-ocean movement is likely
to be changed for Il time until their
wants arc supplied.
Therefore it is proposed to halt the
troop movement in order that the
shipping that is available, which IS
far below what is desired at best
may be utilized in the transportation
Of supplies.
10 Winter In Camps.
This means that the National
Guardsmen OF Kentucky and other
States may be held in their camps
in the United States all winter.
The call now from the Allies is
for foodstuffs. rather than for men
The winter season coming on means
there will be more or less of a stale
mate along the fighting front and
men can not do much in the way Of
accomplishing results until spring,
while the addition of many more
American soldiers would simply add
to the burden of maintenance.
France Needs Supplies.
France wants food. coal, structur-
al steel and other supplies from the
United States. instead of men. Food.
especially. is her primary demand.
Italy wants food and coal chiefly.
Italy practically is without coal. Eng
land, having her navies to keep the
channels of commerce open, is not
in as bad shape for food as her two
principal allies but there are many
supplies which the British army
needs that America can furnish.
So there is every reason to believe
that the troop movement will be
abated for an indefinite time while
supplies are pushed to the other
side as fast as ships can be found to
take them.

BIG INCOMES TO
 SUFFER IN SENATE
 SENTIMENT WINS
Discussion of War Profits and Incomes In Upper Branches of Congress Reveals Senti-
 ment to Raise Taxes There.
(By Review Leased Wire).

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Senate sentiment for higher taxation of in. comes and war profits was given initial expression today by rejection of fin ance committee recommendations and tentative adoption of provisions add ing $72,00O, 900 to the war tax bills on individuals incomes subject to surtax.
 Surfaces Raised
 After three days spirited discussion of tax increases the senate returned to consideration of committee amend ments and voted "A to for Senator Gerry's amendment to greatly raise surtaxes on incomes of more than s500,000 estimated to secure s46,225,- 900 more revenues.
 As the revised house bill formerly stood, it was designed to raise from individual incomes S417,764.000 in ad- ditfon to the amount collected under the present law. When the senate re- cessed tonight there was pending Sen ator La Follette's substitute, which would increase the additional levy on individual incomes to s723, 3,616,0 ,000. The Wisconsin senator also has two other tentative amendments in abeyance pro- posing levies of respectively s65S,7O0.- 900 and $505, 1928, 1000, as compared with S417 ,764, 900, under the finance commit tees revision.
 Incomes Threatened
 That the senate's decisive stand for increasing income rates may be the forerunner of further material in- creases was admitted tonight by lead CTS opposing drastic advances. They prohibited defeat of Senator La Fol lette's bill tomorrow, but admitted that they would get large vote. The sentiment for tax increases is expected to result in a bitter contest over the war profits section.
 Would Raise Taxes
 Preliminary to the initial voting on the income tax section today. Senator Lodge, Republican member of the fin. ance committee, made a two-hour speech in opposing increasing the bills levies. Senator Townsend, another Republican committee member, how ever, advocated an increase to s3,000.- 000,0 ,000 to be secured by much higher rates on war profits, incomes and also from liquor, tobacco and a few other articles, including automobiles. The Michigan senator urged taxing 80 per cent of war profits.
 Senator Lodge insisted that the bill provides an ample proportion-over3 90 per cent-of this years war expenses by taxation and should not be increas ed so as to injure business.
 Charges Income Frauds
 Senator Lewis charged that the treasury has evidence of income ta, frauds by wealthy persons defrauding the government of s300.000,000.

GUN CREW OF CAMPANA IS PRISONER OF
 GERMAN SUB
American Tank Steamers Bluejacket Defenders Spend Last Shell In Defense and Surrender to German U Boat.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

. N ATLANTIC PORT, Aug. 22.-
 The Standard Oil tank steamer,
 Campana, whose captain and five
 of her navy gunners were taken prisoners by German submarine Aug ust 6, surrendered to the U-boat but only because she had not another shot to fire. The Campana's ammunition, after firing 1S0 shots, became exhaust ed. This was the story told by J. H. Bruce, third mate of the Campana, who with 40 other members of the Campana's crew and eight gunners arrived today on French battleship. The battle began at a. m. and was waged for four hours at range of between 700 and 7500 yards.
 campana Hit Twice
 The U-boat fired 400 shots. only two of which hit the mark. The Campana nevertheless was outranged by the two guns, one four-inch the other two-inch, with which the submarine was armed. Te U-boat also was fully as speedy as the American vessel.
 Fires After Surrender
 After the Campana hoisted the inter- national signal of surrender, the last shell gone, the submarine nevertheless continued to fire, he : said, and all hands took to the boats. The U-boat commander first approached the boat commanded by Bruce, which had aboard the Campana's 13 naval gun ners, and ordered it alongside. He then went to the life boat occupied by Captain Albert Oliver of the Cam pana and took him prisoner.
 Room for Six
 Having room enough only for six additional men aboard his craft, the German skipper made only five of the gunners prisoners, Bruce said. These included the chief gunner and two pet ty officers. One of the gunners, whose name was Miller, was included because he could speak German. The sub marine was the U-2. Bruce did not learn the commanders name. The NSAAhoh Soiu hAiAi, HS S-iu, IHot hS hou first fired a torpedo at the Campana but had missed, the projectile appar- entity passing under the steamship.
 Sent to Bottom
 The Campana was sent to the bot tom by bombs after her crew had been allowed to get their personal effects. Directions were given to Bruce by the submarine commander how to reach the nearest port. He told him at the same time that he had heard wireless messages exchanged by the French war vessels in the vicinity and
