WILSON'S HEALTH
 |S MUCH IMPROVED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

MANCHESTER Mass, Aug. 19.- President Wilson's outing has much improved his health.
 Today he played the best game of golf of his stay, winning from Dr. Cary T. Grayson, his physician.
 While the president and Mrs. Will son drove along the shore or strolled on the beach and in the woods they were accompanied as usual by secret service men. Less noticeable and ob- served by but few was the part played by the navy.
 Marines picketed the grounds. Two hydroairplanes searched adjacent waters and at little distance off the coast two torpedo boat destroyers and fleet of submarine chasers kept guard.
 This watch over the sea was taken because the president and Mrs. Wilson selected house standing almost at the edge of a promonotory that commands wide view of the sea and which in turn, can be plainly seen from some distance out.
 It was not believed to be beyond the range of possibility that some Ger man. submarine commander would be tempted to risk his ship to take a pot shot at so conspicuous a target

CONGRESS NOW PREPARED TO
 ACT QUICKLY
General March Says Mill tary Program Should Win
 War In 1919. Baker Urges
 Action On Draft Bill
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Congress prepared today to enact quickly the new man power legislation, extending the draft age limits to IS and 45 years. General March told the house military committee the program should win the war in 1919.
 While the house committee began work on the bill by hearing General March, Secretary Baker and General Crowder, the senate set aside it's sum- mer vacation and will take up the measure Thursday. It appeared prob able the bill would be debated simul- taneously in the senate and house the last of this week and passed quickly. Senate prohibition advocates agreed temporarily to lay aside their bill and give the man power program right of way.
 Calls For Four Million Men
 Before the house committee. Secre- tary Baker and his aides again urged action on the bill, discussing various phases of the enlarged program which calls for an army of nearly 100000 Americans in France by June 30, 1919. with another million in training in this country.
 Predicting that the war will be won or lost on the western front regardless of what happens elsewhere. General March told the committee that with 80 trained American divisions of about 45,OOO men each, in France, under an American commender, victory ought to rest on American arms next year. Reiterating his belief that such a force could go through the German lines at will, General March went further and electrified the committeeman by de- claring such force should bring the war to a successful conclusion in 191s."
 Every Single Man Needed
 To exert this American man power in securing victory, General March said. every single man" between IS and 45 years in class l would be needed 1 by next spring. Shipping facilities are assured and maintenance problems have been considered on the program.
 Suggestions that the 100000 army program would exhaust America's man power were laughingly denied by Gen. eral March, but he joined Secretary Baker in explaining that it represents Americas maximum effort for the present.
 Plans for calling new registrants un- der the proposal explained by Secre- tary Baker. provide for three classes probably to be called in order, those between 19 and 37 years of age, those between 37 and A and those between IS and 19. MT. Baker did not object to separate classification of IS year old youths, but he and General March said all eligibles probably would be called out not later than next spring
 His Statement Misconstrued The secretary told the committee that his previous statement of the de- partment's intention to liberalize the draft regulations in dealing with the older men to be made subject to cal had been misconstrued. He said there was no intention to exempt married men as a class and that married men who do not support their wives or are not engaged in useful occupations will be called as they now are.

PROVISIONS OF
 REVENUE BILL
 CAUSE PROTEST
Treasury Objects to In creases In Excess Profits Tax Rates. Indications
 Are Taxes Will Be Raised
[RepubIican A. P. Leased Wire1

Republican A. P. Leased Wre] WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Disagree- ment arose again today between the Treasury Department and the House Ways and Means Committee as to provisions of the new revenue bill The treasury has submitted letter protest ing against increases in the excess profits tax rates of the present law
 The committee and the treasury have reached an agreement as to an eighty per cent war profits tax based on pre- war earnings, but have been unable to arrive at common standing on the method of reaching excess profits. which classification, it has been esti- mated will affect only about ten per cent of the total corporations to be taxed.
 Treasury Stands Firm
 The treasury asked that the prese3:< profits law be included in the new bill with an alternative war tax of eighty per cent. The committee has tenta- lively agreed to an eight percent ex- emption. in addition to 6 specific s. 900 exemption on excess profits. with tax of forty per cent on profits between eight per cent and twenty per cent and sixty per cent on all profits exceeding twenty per cent. The committee sub mitted its decision to the treasury for its views. The treasury today, in it's letter which was made public, stood firm in it's position in opposition to in crease of excess profits tax.
 There were indications, however, that the committee would increase the pres cHt tax rates. The committee may change the deduction rate so as to make it an extension of ten per cent instead of eight, in addition to the specific s3,00O exemption
 May Effect Compromise It was originally in favor of ten per cent deduction, and it may return to it by some compromise action. Both Chairman Kitchin and Secretary Me Adoo have stated that they would "get together on some mutually satisfac- l tory plan. Chairman Witchin author iZed the following statement at the close of today's session:
 "The committee spent the entire day considering administrative provisions | of the bill and reached no decision The i stamp-tax schedule of the present law was left intact. except that the com mittee increased the tax rate on play | ing cards from seven cents to eight l SentS a pack.

 General Pershing directs the com manding officers to urge moral cleanli- ness on the men as their duty as sol- diers and the best training for en- forced cleanliness of life at the front. The order prescribes more rigid control of leaves of absence and directs courts martial to exercise severity in dealing with infected men. It makes all inn moral resorts of limits" and in CO., operation with the French police, both military and civil. takes steps to re- press clandestine evasion of the order
