Where Safety Lies,

country will be perfectly safe in the
hands OF a Republican Congress. and the
President will have Its support in all
army and navy measures looking to in
creased efficiency; but such a Congress
would not support him in any plan for
depriving American labor OF a chance
to earn better wages than the average
Of European labor by the enactment of
measures calculated to flood this coun-
try with foreign made goods. The Re-
publican party stands now as always,
for the protection OF American labor and

100000 INCREASE.
Eighty Per Cent Levy Is Recommend
ed by Treasury Chief and

Washington, Aug. 16-Secretary Of
the Treasury McAdoo laid before the
house ways and means committee on

profits tax with an alternative war

cent affecting about 30 per cent of all
the business corporations coming un-
der this schedule.
Secretary McAdoo estimated that
the treasury plan would produce from

under the plan tentatively agreed to
by the committee recently.
The secretary was accompanied by
Assistant Secretaries Leflingwell and
Love, Internal Revenue Commissioner
Roper and other treasury experts.

Kitchin of the house ways and means
committee joined I'm the prediction that
they would get together on plan and
Secretary McAdoo added that ''you
can see that Mr.. Kitchin and | have
no bayOnets for each other"
Despite this agreement and the in
creased revenue claimed for the treas
ury plan, which Secretary McAdoo
said would take care of exceptional
cases, it was stated that the bill will
fall short To the extent of between
S50O,0000O0 and $10O0,000000 OF the
$1,000, 100000 sought.

GERMAN MILITARY OPINION.
How Various Newspapers View the
Present Situation.

Amsterdam Equilibrium on the
whole west front is being slowly re.
stored" is tho consensus OF expert
military opinion in Saturdays Ger
man newspapers, and the view is held
that inasumch as surprise attacks
failed TO pierce the German front the
prospects OF future piercing are di-
minishing sensibly. Capt. Won Salz-
mann, writing in the Berlin VOssische
Zeitung, says he sees signs in the
shifting OF troops from the Aisne
northwestward of another big enemy
offensive on the SOmme. He adds
that on the Aisne an Independent
American army seems TO be in the
course of formation and offers the
explanation that this is due to Amer
lean pride, which objects to fighting
under foreign command.

General March Explains Plan to
Send 100000 More to
France by Next June.
VICTORY ON WEST FRONT
Chief Of staff Asserts Defeat Of Foo
In franc Is Up to the American
Army-BiIl Delayed Until
Next Week.

washington, Aug. 17.-Plans for be-
Ginning consideration in the senate
nest Monday Of the new man-power
bin extending the draft ages were
biuckcu on Thursday by the failure OF
u quorum 10 appear when Chairman
Chamberlain submitted the report OF
the senate military committee.
In reporting the bill Chairman
Chamberlain disclosed TO the senate
that General March had told the mill
tary committee it WAS up To the United
States TO put enough men in France To
win on The west front, and he eX-
pressed the belief that 40OO,OOO Amer
leans under one commander could 20
through the German lines wherever
they pleased.
The report also revealed that the
new American war program calls Tor
80 divisions. or something more than
1900. 900 men, in France by June ~
next, with IS more divisions in train
ing at home AZ that time. All the men
called for active service under the pro-
posed new draft ages, eighteen TO for
ty-hvc, General March told the commit
tee. would be in France by next June,
according to the program.
Secretary Baker informed the COM
miitce, the report said, that the presl-
dents policy called for concentration
of American forces on the western
front. including Italy and that the
theory of the fighting in the future Is
that we must force the issue and win
on the western 'front.'
Immediate extension of the draft
ages was declared by the army repre-
ScntatiyCS To be imperative In order
that the United States may throw its
fun strength into the struggle and win.
If the draft ages are fixed at from
eighteen to forty-fivc General March
said. the system of volunteer enlist
mcnt in the United States army auto
maticaIly disappears.
The draft program and plans OF the
war department are of such charac-
ter that the rapid movement of troops
10 France is continuing, Secretary Ba-
ker said, and by reason of the very
great assistance given by the British
government in placing so much ship
ping at the disposal of the American
government the department hopes to
continue the accelerated movement
overseas.
There now are approximately 2,oUO,-
600 American soldiers In this country
and overseas, Mr.. Baker added. The
reservoir in the United States is such
that even with the eXhausting for
time of the eligibles in class l the
movement Of men overseas would not
be interrupted.
Fourteen National army divisions al
ready are in France, the secretary said,
and these have been included In the
new field army organization recently
announced by General Pershing. There
also are IL National Guard divisions,
including the Rainbow organization,
overseas. together with five regular
army divisions.
"The policy OF the war department
is TO put the maximum number Of men
i'm France with the idea of shortening
The war"
The senate adjourned until Mon
day, and the plan now is to begin con-
Sderation of the bill next Thursday, If
possible.

Statement of Sec. McAdOO

Secretary McAdoo today authorized
the following statement:
at has been brought to my attcn-
ton that numbers of merchants
throughout the country are offering to
take Liberty Loan Bonds of the first
and second issue at par, or even in
some cases at a premium, in exchange
for merchandise. While I have no
doubt that these merchants are ac-
tuated by patriotic motives, I am sure
that they have failed to consider the
effect which the acceptance of their
offers would have upon the situation.
We are making the strongest effort to
have these Government Bonds pur-
chased for permanent investment by
the people at large, to be paid for
out of the past or future savings of
those who buy them. Purchases,
thus made not only result in providing
funds for the uses Of the govern
ment, but they also effect conscrva-
tion of labor and material. When
the bonds are exchanged FOR merchan-
disc, it defeats the primary object
of their sale, it discourages thrift and
increases expenditures. thus depriv-
ing the government of labor and ~"
terial need for war purposes. In nd
dtion to this, such bonds when taken
in exchange for merchandise must in
most cases be Immediately sold in
the open market. This naturally
tends to depress the market price Of
the issue and make it less easy to
sell future issues at the same rate
81 hope that the merchants Of the
country, upon more careful consid-
Grafton of this subject will discor-
tinue their efforts to sell merchan-
disc and take Liberty Bonds in pay
ment"
