will not make any great material
difference in the war finabcing sys-
tenn, according to Chairman Claude
Kftchin. of the House Ways and
Means Committee.
He said that the next revenue bill
would carry a greater proportion
of taxes and a smaller proportion
OF bonds, than the last war revenue
measure, as he predicted some
weeks ago. Secretary McAdoo.- he
predicted, would swing around to
the view that more taxes are need
ed, now that the war bills are ex-
ceeding expectations.
1T will not be easy to find addi-
tional taxes on such commodities
as everybody uses every day."
Chairman Kitchin said. 1T is hard
to see how we can tax $17 fioUr
and $40 shoes. But we can raise
the figures on excess profits and on
war profits. We can go just as
high on these as Great Britain has
done for some time. and we can
raise a great deal more money than
Great Britain has been able to
raise"

ARMY CANTONMENTS,
TOPIC OF LECTURER
Mai. Fortescue Describes Sixteen
Cite" of Selected Soldiers.

Describing the creation Of sixteen
cities of 5000 population each-the
cantonments OF the National Army
and showing how the wilderness was
turned into an urban district with
city water. sewerage and steam with
in a period OF ninety days, Maj.
Granville Fortescue, OF the NTH In
fantry, u. S. N. A., Iectured before
the members of the National Geo.
graphic Society yesterday.
He illustrated his talk with motion
pictures and slides of this stupen-
dous task, which has been success
fully completed. Into these sixteen
cities poured their selected popula-
tions-selected from Americas 1O0,-
OO0.oOo-to train for the work of maxi
ing "the world safe for democracy"
At Camp Lee, near Petersburg, Va,
where the lecturer Is stationed. are
men from the North and the South,
training on the ground where their
fathers fought on opposite sides. Now
they are all Americans, shoulder to
shoulder. Maj. Fortescue declared,
without a trace af sectionalism.
The pictures showed that the can
tonments look like hurriedly built
Western mining towns, for there has
been no attempt made to furnish ar
chitectural flourishes. and the build
ings are Of rough boards. The diff
ference between the cantonment and
tho mining town being, however, that
in these soldier cities everything is
orderly and everything moves with
military precision. Everything is
planned for utility.
Maj. Fortescue declared that our
army is the best fed in the world,
and quoted menus to prove his state
ment.
Maj. Fortescue paid high tribute
to the work of the Y. NJ. C. A, and
the Red Cross. and told an interest
ing story of the organization of the
selected men. Statistical tables are
prepared and on these are given the
former occupations Of the men. One
company may have surplus Of bar
bers, while another may have too
many clerks Then the COMPANY COM
manders trade men until each has
what he needs.
The men who are in training are
undergoing a great physical change
the lecturer said, and in a given
number there was an average weight
increase OF ten pounds per man. Those
who formerly scuffed along have
learned to walk with a brisk milf
tary step. AID those who were hunch-
ed over are now rigidly upright, chest
out and shoulders thrown back.
