Owing to the fact that the soldier

from the Sammy Backers" fund to
the United War Fund instead of send

railroads supply refrigerators for
service there seems no reason why
shippers should take such chances,

may arrive at their destination in

Because of the tremendous shortage
in milk throughout the Allied coun-
tries the British ministry of food has
taken control of the wholesale milk
trade in Great Britain. This is to in
sure fair distribution of milk and has
been done by means of two orders,
one giving the food controller power
to regulate the distribution according
to the means available in each district
and the second enabling him to take
control of the premises of persons en-
gagged in the wholesale distribution
and manufacture of milk and milk
products. A representative committee
has been appointed to advise the food
controller on questions which may
come out of his decision to assume
control of the milk trade.

STORE employees SEND
CHECK FOR AMBULANCE

The Patriotic League OF Women OF
the Woodward & Lothrop employees
today forwarded a check to the Red
Cross for the purchase OF an ambu-
lance.
The total amount was $4,000. The
check was received by Clarence LEIGH.
associate director Of the bureau OF
purchases OF the Red Cross.
1t is the desire OF the employees
who subscribed that the ambulance
be assigned to one OF the best hos
pitfalls on the Red Cross list in
France. 1t was suggested that the
ambulance be sent to hospitals in
the neighborhood OF Rheims or Nam
cy. since they have suffered so ter
ribly from the German air raids and
long-range bombardments.
At any rate, the employees are anx-
ious that the ambulance go to a part
OF France where there has been fierce
hghting, and especially a part OF
France where there may be Ameri-
can boys. In addition to the funds
already raised for the Red Cross the
employees expect TO continue their
campaign for various charities.

TRAINERS OF TAX
/ BILL TO CONSIDER
POSTWAR CONFLICT

After the war conditions in which
American business will be compelled
20 compete with the business Of all
the world IN an economic struggle for
supremacy are being kept constantly
in mind by the Ways and Means Com
mittee in framing the new revenue
bill
Excess profits taxes will not be
made so high as to drive any corpora
ton out, of business-even though its
product be looked upon as absolutely
non-essential at this time" a commit
tee member said today. american
business must be left in a healthy
state to be able to maintain its place
at the close of the war"
In this connection 1t has been sug-
gested that a body OF trade experts
sit with the Ways and Means Com
mittee when future bills are drawn to
advise as to which industries can
stand heavy taxation without impair
ment. The English government Is
following this scheme in drawing its
tax bills. There is no concealment Of
the fact that IL seeks by this means

state for the struggle that is to come
The advice Of the experts on which

ed is given great weight.
The English adjustment board sys-
TEN is rapidly gaining favor with the
ways and Means Committee, and an
adaptation of the scheme may appear
in the new revenue bill. The ADJUST
ment board is an appeal board that
passes upon the justice OF all tax
levies under the English excess proIitS
tax. It has power to raise or lower
taxes as the case may require. This
gives q flexibAity ~ the endorsement
Of the revenue laws that has been alb
sent in the United States. In this
country, for instance, corporations
with Yatered capital and concerns
with Bona fide assets representing all
their capital have been compelled to
pay their taxes on the same basis.
The Treasury Department has been
allowed some discretion in the appii-
cation OF the law, and has done its
best to apply the excess profits taxes
equitably, but Il is realized by the
committee that IN many cases there
have been great injustices. This could
be corrected, It has been suggested.
by an adaptation Of the English
scheme.
How much certain schedules OF !
taxes will yield win be difficult for
the committee to determine. Excess
profits during the next year will not
be so great as during the past year,
the committee has been informed. /

lowest figure was always accepted by
members of the committee. This

that with Belgium despoiled by the
Germans and their factories ruined,
Belgium faced the future and recon-

it faced the German hordes and that
Belgium did not intend to become a
public charge upon the charity Of the
world. He declared Belgium looked
to America, not for acts of charity,
but a brotherly help in industry and
trade.
Germany has deliberately put our
factories out of commission" said
the minister, "and by declining to
fight further has maintained her
own plants intact. She has been
forced to give up her dream Of a
German military empire of the world
but still hopes to dominate the trade
of the universe and ehdeavors to OBJ
tain that domination by manning
her commercial rivals in Belgium
and northern France.
Belgium stands broken and mu-
tilated, but full of courage. We know
the sympathy of America and we
look to you with confidence to work
hand in hand with us in the future,
as we have fought shoulder to shoul-
der in the past.
Eve do not wish to be a public

our own feet and we look to you
Americans to give us helping hand,
