CASUALTY LISTS BY MAIL.
New System Of Distribution Inaueu.
rated by War Department. \

Washington. Aug. 20-With the
publication. yesterday of the daily list
of casualties among Americas forces
overseas. The Associated Press and
other press associations in co-opera-
ton with the war and postoffice de-
partments, put into effect a new ar
rangement by which complete lists are
delivered daily in practically every city
in the country.
Since the American army In France
has grown to force Of nearly a mil.
lion and q half men transmission Of
the full honor roll Of dead, wounded
and missing by telegraph to all the
newspapers mas become almost an i'm
possibility. Tor weeks the press as
sociations have been obliged to curtafl
the volume OF their news in order to
deliver these Lists. so important to the
friends and neighbors Of the. men at
the front. 1
The postoffice department exercising
control Of telegraph systems, has ln-
dertaken the responsibility Of tele-
graphing the lists across the continent
to three central points, and of provid-
ing printed copies to the press associ-
ations simultaneously in Washington.
Chicago ard San Francisco.
From these points the associa-
lions mail them to the newspapers.
Each days list hears, a date of publi-
cation several days later, so that all
papers may publish the same list the
same day. Provision has been made
for having half Of the names appear
first In the morning papers and half
first in the afternoon papers, but all
papers receive the complete list for
publication at the stated times.
In announcing the Inauguration Of
the arrangements, the committee on
public information explained that it
will not affect the war department pol
Icy Of notifying Immediately by tele-
graph the families of men mentioned
in the list. The committees statement
said:
There will be no delay in the pri
vate notification Of the next of kin of
Officers and men reported in the daily
casualty lists because Of the changed
system Of public announcement Of cas-
ualties. AS soon as it is possible to
compare the names, which are re-
ported by the>adiutant generals office
with the card index catalog at the sta
tistical division, the usual private tele-
graphic notification will >be made to
relatives
In order that the plan Of stimuli
taneous publication in the news
papers may be carried out fairly and
tHat the relatives of soldiers whose
names appear on the list may be
saved annoyance, the war department
has the pledge Of the press associa-
tons, that no use whatever shall be
made of any list before the day shxed
for publication.
\The papers specifically are required

pictures in advance Of the publication

excess profits rates should be increased
IN spite of McAdoo's objections.
1t was stated the committee prob
ably will insist upon making some
increase in the rates. and Mr.. McAdoo
then will be forced to carry his case to
the senate finance committee If he Is
to win on the point that legitimate
business will be unjustly burdened by
an increase in taxes on their profits.
The committee decided to levy a tax
or 10 per cent on all sight seeing or
"rubberneck" wagons. There is no es-
innate of the amount of revenue they
will produce, but it is expected it Will
be collected from the passengers in the
form of an addition to the fare.
The question of placing stamp
tax on all narcotics was discussed at
length, but no decision was reached.
In the matter Of the taxes on alcoholic
beverages, it was decided to put of q
decision until the last. the reason being
the prohibition amendment is still I'M
decided In the senate and the commit
tee does not Know whether or not there
will be any beverages to tax.
II the prohibition amendment passes
the committee probably will decide
on consumption taxes on coffee, tea and
cocoa to make up the deficit.
1t was decided to increase the tax
on playing cards from z per cent to
per cent. All the other stamp taxes
in the present law were left unchanged.
Figures submitted to the committee
showed that the sales of playing cards
have been dropping off until they are
not more than 80 per cent of what they
were before the United States got into
the war.
1t is explained the women.s. bridge
clubs are no longer In session, and
those who, had. to have a new deck for
every game are now knitting for SOL

Washington, Aug. 20.-Secretary Nc
Adoo sent a letter to Chairman Kitchin
of the house ways and means commit
tee, expressing unqualified disapproval
OF the committees compromise offer
in the matter of the tax rates on excess
profits.
He insisted upon the acceptance of
his original proposal that in view Of
the adoption of the so per cent tax on
war profits the rate on excess profits
should be allowed to remain as they
are in the present law
Mr.. McAdoo also informed Mr..
Kitchin the normal income tax on in
dividual incomes should be - per cent
instead Of 10 as agreed upon by the
committee, and that on unearned in
comes there SHOULD be an added differ
entail of 8 per cent, making the rate on
such incomes Is per cent.
The sale of bonds of the next liberty
loan will be promoted, Secretary Nc
Adoo said in his letter, by letting the
rate Of unearned incomes up to this
high figure. for the reason that per-
sons enjoying large incomes of that
character will find it to their interest
to invest their profits in liberty bonds
rather than submit to the Is per cent
tax.

JAPAN SEXES ALL Rice.
Food Will Be Put on Market-Disorders
Reported Abatjnu.


Toxic. Friday, Aug. t6.-[Delayedl-
An imperial ordinance ISSUED today au-
thorizes the government to requisition
all stocks of rice. The rice will be put
on the market.
The newspapers have been prohib-
tied from printing reports Of the prog
ress Of the rice riots.
A mob of 1000 attacked stores and
set fire to many houses in the city of
Kofu, capital of the prefecture, of
Yamashina, according to an official
statement Rioters, policeman and a
soldier were wounded. Twenty houses
were destroyed and property damaged
at Hiroshima. the statement adds.
Advices received from the provinces
are to the effect that the residences
of several millionaires have been
burned.
TheatersN and Stores Closed.
The governor of Toxic in a mani
festo urges the residents of the city
to remain indoors during the night.
The theaters and stores and the lead
ing thoroughfares iof the city have
been ordered closed as a precautionary
measure.
A statement issued by Minister of
the Interior Mizuno says that the gov
errors have assured the ministry that
the disorders are abating steadily.
The organization of proprietors and
editors of newspapers has adopted a
resolution declaring that the prohibi-
ton against news of the riots is an
unprecedented and arbitrary interfer-
ence with the right of free speech as
granted by the. constitution. 1t is the
general impression here that the rice
question has become political
