BOXING IS TAKEN
Up BY BRITISH

| London, Apdil S.-BoXing is to bt
an essential part ofthe training o.
every British soldier henceforth. The
average training period of the Brit
ish recruit now is not more than sl>
months, but several hours OF eacI
week will be devoted to boxing, part
Nv in an effort to counteIact the in
fluence of continuous drilling, anc
partly because boxing is regarded as
the best possible training to develop
the cambatAtive spirit in soldiers.
During the present summer COM
prehensive program Of boxing tour
naments will be carried out in every
training camp in England, and Amer
lean soldiers who are in camps here
will participate in this part of the
camp life.
In an instructive leaflet Colonel II.
G.. Mayes, director of the Canadian
army gymnastic staff, says:
THE cultivation of the fighting
spirit is the greatest problem with
which we are faced. For some time
past the bayonet hasbeen our espe-
cial weapon, and no other nation has
ever achieved such success with cold
steel. But there is still something
lacking in the training; the soldier is
taught the spirit of the bayonet and
that he must strike hard to kill, but
he is not taught to take as well as
give punishment.
There is practically only one pas
time to give our men this essential
experience. That is boxing. In nc
other sport is the spirit of give anG
take so strongly developed. And that
is why new era in the training of
the British soldier has come into ex
istence. We are going to try to teach
our men that an offensive, combata-
tive spirit is the greatest asset sol
der can possess.
"In order to beat the Germans, tbs
average soldier must realize that
tremendous affort must be made, both
physical and mental. Courage is
created or largely based on conf
dence. Boxing teaches a man self
confidence, how to take a blow or a
succession of blows, knowing that his
opportunity is coming.
What we owe to boxing and other
sports has tended in a measure to
keep alive the combatative instinct of
the British race, although it ust be
remembered that watching game
may increase an individuals spirit,
but does not improve his physique"

HEAVY TAXES
ON UNEARNED
INCOME, PLAN
Ways and Means Adopts
McAdoo Idet for Rev
| enue Bill.

The recommendation of Secretary
McAdoo that heavier taxes be i'm
posed upon unearned incomes than
upon those earned as salaries or
wages In return for labor was adopted
by the Ways and Means Committee
yesterday. A differentiai of per cent
against the unearned income was
agreed to. so that the normal rate on
incomes of this class will be 13 per
cent. while on others 1t will be 10 per
cent.
In defining unearned incomes, the
committee designated them as incomes
derived from dividends on preferred
stock, from interest. rentals. royalties
and annuities. Representative Long
worth, Of Ohio. gave notice after this
section was adopted that he would
move in the House to include all stock
dividends in the unearned class, rather
than limit II to preferred stock The
section was adopted by a close vote.
The committee changed the section
previously adopted providing for the
payment OF income taxes by individ-
uals and corporations in installme,irs.
The new provision will permit one
third OF the total amount to be ppi1
at the time the return is filed, one
third In two months and the balance
in two months later. II payments
were made by the calendar year, this
would mean the first payment would
be on March is, the second ON May u
and the remainder on July Is. There
is TO be no rebate or discount for fun
payment at the time the return is
made.
After Tax sIaekerx.
An amendment designed to assist
the Federal authorities in detecting
income tax slackers was adopted, I o.
viding for the posting at the coarty
seat of the names Of all persons who
file statements for payment OF the in
come tax. The names only and not
the amount OF income are to be posted,
but 1t Is believed that this form OF
publicity will make It impossible for
many to escape.
The Treasury Departments plan for
fixing war profits rates was discussed
by the committee and II was tenta-
lively decided to oppose the plan in
certain of its features.
The committee decided that corpora.
tons for the purpose of the war pro-
fits should be derived into only three
classes. mining and similar hazardous
lines of industry, miscellaneous and
financial. The committee decided
on II per cent deduction on those
in the first class. 10 per cent on
those In the second class and Q per
cent on those in the third class.
The altered plan was submitted to
Secretary McAdoo and the committee
