War Revenue Bill Completed
Taxes On Dogs Denied
Also Big Campaign Gifts
Adopt Child Labor Rule

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The SEN
ate finance, committee tonight COM
pleted revision of the war revenue bill
designed to raise six billions of dol
lars in taxes in 1919 and about four
billions in 1920. The measure as vir-
tually rewritten to meet changed con-
ditions attending the end of the war
now goes TO the printer and will be
reported to the senate next week,
probably on Thursday.
The republicans lined up solidly in
opposition to inclusion of 1920 tax
rates in the bill. it was conceded that
discussion in the senate will delay the
measure, and many senators expressed
doubt if it can be enacted before
March 3, the date of the ending of the
sixty fifth congress.
In view Of the expected delay, senate
leaders and treasury department Of
ficials are concerned over collecting
taxes next year, as unless the new law
is enacted before January l, collec-
tions must be made under the present
revenue expedients, including adoption
of emergency legislation, are under
consideration.
Minority May Not Report
Senator Simmons said tonight he
doubted whether republicans would
file a minority report, attacking the
1920 tax program, but might content
themselves with vigorous opposition
to that proposal on the floor of the
senate.
In completing the bill today the
finance committee adopted an amend
ment establishing new second class
postage rates. effective when the rev.
enue bill becomes law. 1t provides for
repeal of the present graduated zone
rates on newspapers, magazines and
other periodicals, and substitutes a
rate of one cent per pound, within an
area of 200 miles from mailing points,
and ~ cents a pound outside that
area.
The committee adopted another
amendment for restoration, on July l
1919, of the two cents an ounce rates
on letters, and one cent on postcards
Some senators believe the second
class postal rate amendment will be
| opposed by publishers as unjust and
discriminatory. Long debate on the
subject is anticipated.
Taboo Dog Taxes
Another amendment adopted today
| and expected to cause much debate
| imposes a tax of ten per cent on pro-
ducts of child labor, which are trans.
ported in interstate commerce. The
amendment is designed to accomplish
| the purpose of the law recently de
clared unconstitutional by the supreme
court, under which products of child
labor were barred from interstate com
| merce.
Amendments rejected today by tn,
| committee included one by Senate
| Thomas of Colorado, levying a tax o
100 per cent on campaign contribu
| tions in excess of $500, and anothe
| by Senator Smoot of Utah, imposin.
a tax of $3.50 and $500 respectivel.

Palace last night in honor of King
George, the king, in proposing the
health of President Poincare said:
1T is difficult for me adequately to
express the great pleasure that ! feel in
being your guest here tonight, in this
city Of Paris, and in the midst of the
great nation with which, during past
years, l and my people have mingled
our sorrows and our joys and are now
triumphantly crowned by overwhelm-
ing victory over the common enemy.
we can all remember the repeated
and desperate efforts made by the Ger
man armies to reach and capture this
great capital; but thanks to the brav-
cry of the splendid army and the loyal
CO operation of the allies, the aims of
the enemy have been defeated and by
the skilful direction and strategy of
distinguished Field Marshal Foch, the
troops of the invader have been hurled
across the frontier and compelled to
sue for peace.
Mr.. President. l congratulate you
and the noble French nation upon the
great victory that has been achieved, in
which my generals and armies are
proud to have taken part. In the life
and death conflict in which our nations
have been together engaged for civili-
zation, and for right against the meth
DDS of barbarism, and the forces of de-
struction, the French and British peo-
piles have learned in unity of purpose
to appreciate each other and their re-
spective ideals.
They have created a union of hearts
and an identity of interests that trust
will ever grow closer and contribute
materially to the consolidation of peace
and the advancement of civilization.
Lastly. let me add one word of SYM
pathy for those heroic Frenchmen and
French women who have suffered nj

Clothes were so scarce, a mediocre suit

American to leave Austria. He is a
member of the diplomatic service, who

NEW YORK. Nov. 29.-Asserting
that "the action of the governor of
California, in committing the death SEN

least degree render justice to Brother
Mooney and his co-defendants," the
Central Federated union of greater

their innocence or guilt may be proved

Officials of the union stated the or

large demonstration meeting at Cooper

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, NOV 29.-BoSton,
New York, Newport News, Virginia,
and Charleston, South Carolina, are the
ports the war department now plans to
use for the return of the army from
overseas. Even with this wide distri
button of the strain on port facilities
and transportation, however. and with
German ships now idle in German har-
bors employed on the task, estimates
show that the last of the army could
not possibly reach the United States
in less than eight months. Conserva-
tive calculations upon which prepara-
tions by the department probably will
be based, fixed ten months as the mini
mum.
These estimates have been made
wholly on the basis of the physical diff
ficulties' to be overcome. and do not
take into consideration the question Of
the retention in Europe for some time
of an American force, which may be
agreed upon at the peace conference. If
the return movement, already in pro-
gress. is continued at full speed, the
last division, in all probability, could
not reach the United States before Oc-
tober, 1919.
Four Terminal Ports Named
Decision to route the troops to their
homes through the four ports men,

based on two main considerations
First, they have been equipped to han

second, they are the natural gateways

sections of the United States. By load

In a speech delivered here this
morning, Premier Lloyd George,
dealing with the question of the re-
sponsibiIity for the invasion of
Belgium, said the British govern
ment had consulted some of the
greatest jurists Of the kingdom, and
they unanimously and definitely
had arrived at the conclusion that
in their judgment the former Ger

dictable offense, for which he
ought to be held responsible.

LONDON, Nov. 29.-CBritish Wire
less Service) David Lloyd George, the
British prime minister, in a speech at
Newcastle today, said the victory of
the entente allies had been due to
ceaseless valor' of their men and that
it would be a lesson to anybody who in
the future thought they, as the Prus-
sian warlords hoped, could overlook
this little island in their reckoning"
Prioe-Prevention Not Vengeance
we are approaching the peace con-
ference" the premier continued THE
price of victory is not vengeance nor
1etribution. 1t is prevention. First Of
all, what about those people whom We
have received without question for
years to our shores; to whom we have
given equal rights with our own sons
and daughters: and who abused that
hospitality to betray the land, to plot
against security, to spy upon it and to
gain such information as enabled the
Prussian war lords to inflict, not pun
ishment, but damage and injury on the
land that had received them as guests?
Never again."
Mr.. Lloyd George said the interests
Of security and fair play demanded that
it should be made perfectly clear that
the people who acted in this way mer-
tied punishment for the damage they
had inflicted.
The second question was that of in
IDENTITIES. the premier added. In every
court of justice throughout the world,
the party which lest has had to bear the
cost of the litigation. When Germany
defeated France, she established the
precedent, and there was no doubt that
the principle was the right Lne. Ger
many must pay the cost of the war up
to the limit of her capacity.
Somebody Is Responsible
There is a third and last point,
continued Mr.. Lloyd George rs no
one to be made responsible for the
war? Somebody has been responsible
for a war that has taken the lives OF
millions of the best young men of
Europe. Is not any one to be made
responsible for that? IL not. all I can
say is that if that is the case there is
one justice for the poor wretched
criminal and another for kings and en-
perors"
Mr.. Lloyd George declared in con-
Cusion:
Il mean to see that men who did not
treat our prisoners with humanity are
TO be made responsible. | want this
country to go to court with a clean
conscience, and she will do so. There
is not a stain on her record. We will
not be afraid to appear before any tri-
bnnal.
we have got so to act now that men
in the future who feet tempted to fol-
low the example OF the rulers who
plunged the world into this war will
know what is awaiting them at the emo
OF it. We shall have TO see that this
terrible war. which has inflicted SC
much destruction on the world, which
arrested civilization and in many ways
put it back, which has left marks or
the minds. upon the physique and the
hearts OF myriads in many lands thai
this generation will not see obliteratec
we must see by the action we take
now, just, fearless and relentless. thai
II is crime that shall never again b,
