We are not sure that we under

il means that all profits over 20 per

So bad. AS we see il. 20 per cent net
is enough for anybody to make. either
in times of war or times OF peace.

The delay of congress in reporting
the war revenue bill has been attribu-
ted To a desire 10 wait 10 see how the
fourth Liberty loan sale turned out.
OF course there was nothing in that.
Now II is said that the senate is wait
'u= until after the elections. We sus-
pcct that there is something in this
idea. or course congress is doing the
best il can with the war revenue bill:
but then such taxation as it will carry

No More Turks In Palestine.-The
Turk is gone from the holy places.
Step by step the British advanced out
of Egypt through the land of Edom
and the Philistine littoral. pressing the
Turk northward until the tangled
highland Of Judea and the plain of
Sharon were cleared of the deflement
of his presence. And now all Samaria
and the Plain Of Esdraelon have been
liberated by the great victory OF Cen
eral Allcnby. There remain doubtless
demoralized bands of Turks in the
hills OF Galilce but they will soon have
to he hunted down. All the lands on
this side OF Jordan up to the bounda- :
ries of the Lebanon. where for two
generations Turkey has held only
nominal sway. will have been redeem
ed. And beyond the Jordan the rem
nants OF the Turkish force are dart
ing wildly about in Gilead and Am
mon, seeking desperately an escape
from between the British in the Hau-
ran and their Arabic allies moving
north through Moab. There is no way
out for the Turks except over the
deadly Arabian desert to the east.
Whether they go out into the desert
or remain to be made prisoners Is all
ore to the world. They are thrust out
OF Palestine and that stricken land
will know their misrule and greed and
cruelty no more.-The New Republic.

Gen. G0ethaLS

San Francisco, Dec. 23.-Wflliam
Denman, former chairman Of the
United States Shipping board, tele-
graphed today to Senator Fletcher,
chairman of the senate commerce
committee, a statement charging re-
sponsibility for the Hog Island ship
yard contracts to Maj Gen. Geo. w.
Goethals. former administrator Of
the shipping program.
The statement deals in part with
the controversy between the two
former officials over the wooden ship
program, which was advocated by
Denman, and then takes up the de-
lay in construction work on the Hog
Island plant. This delay, the state
ment asserts, was due to the fault
of General Goethals to present fig-
ures to the shipping board on the
cost Of the plant. After an eight
days effort by Denman to obtain
these figures from the general, both
officials resigned their positions on
the shipping board
General Goethals vouched to me
for the character and the construc-
tive ability Of the gentlemen Of the
American International corporation
and its allied associates, with whom
he had been negotiating for two
months" The statement says: "He
insisted that we should accept their
figures on ship construction without
giving to the shipping board esti-
mates on which they were based He
asked us to allow them compensation
double that finally agreed upon by
Admiral Capps."
