WAR OR EXCESS PROFIT TAX
to Conform to Views Of Secretary
... ...s McAdoo.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The senate
finance committee has rejected and
eIimated from the eight billion dollar
war tax bill the alternative of war or
excess profit, which was written into
the bill by the House.
The committee adopted an amend.
menL which still provides for war and
excess profits, but 1t does not give the
tax payers any alternative method OF
computing their taxes, or the treasury
department discretion to say whether
the tax payers are to pay the war or
the excess profit tax.
The senate amendment will reduce
slightly the aggregate amount thai
was called for in the house war and
excess profit bill.
The reduction by the senate of thS
war and excess profit taxes rate is
in accordance with the views OF Secre'
tary McAdoo, who has vigorously
urged that the excess profit rates pro
vided for the public should be lowered
Under the house plan concern
would be forced TO pay taxes on which
ever were the higher, the excess OF
the war profits.
The senate plan provides that con
Germs with. excess profits of twenty
per cent. shall pax a thirty per cent
tax and all excess profits over twenty
FER cent tax OF sixty per cent.
Upon war profits the house rate OF
eighty per cent was retained. THIS
tax is to be paid upon that portion OF
the net income.

MIND ON PRACTICAL AND CON
CRETE WORK BEST CURE.
BOYS SOON BACK IN TRENCHES
Doctors FIND That the Disease is FaI
From Being IncursbIe. - Some
times it is Cured in Ten
Minutes.
(By Frank J. Taylor.)


With the American Armies in
France. Oct. 2.-tBy Mail)-Shell-
shock isn't shellshock after all.
It's war neurosis, so doctors have
discovered.
That takes all the prestige and dis
tinction out Of being shelIshocked, so
that a lot of people who know it won't
even admit there's shellshOCk any
more.
Here's why.
Were you ever surprised speeches.,
or scared stiff? Well, that's the same
thing going on within you as when
you have so-caIled sheIlshock. The fell
low who went time after time to pro-
pose TO his girl and couldn't make his
tongue work. had the same thing, only
on a smaller scale than they do at the
front.
These discoveries about what they
used TO call shellshoek are interesting
and valuable, because they show that
the victim merely has lost control over
some faculty. He may SHUTTER or his
head may shake or he may have the
trembles, but it's far from being in
durable.
Just as the chap who wants TO pro
pose finally gets his tongue and gets
the idea over to her, so the shellshock
patient gets back TO himself again. The
psychology of the word has been had,
say doctors OF one big army hospital
who have been working on the prob
lem. So they have requested that the
word "shellshock' be forbidden in
the army.
However you can't prevent a man
from thinking what he wants TO say,
ii he can't say it, and thinking is as
bad as saying. so more practical
group of doctors got busy and figured
out just how ordinary shellshock is.
Nobody is scared of it any more. since
i can be cured, sometimes in less than
ten minutes, so il really doesn't make
any difference whether You say shell
shock or not.
The best cure. il seems, is 10 put
your mind on practical and concrete
work. Washing dishes. saving log
or knitting soX would be good fOI
shellsbock, because they give you
something you can concentrate your
mind and your hands upon.
In the shellshock hospital they
work on manal training objects. max
ing toys, building boxes. boats, o!
making designs. Anything one car
concentrate on is good.
Just figuring out what the PROPOSE
ton is has taken all the honor and
danger out Of shenshOcE. and since
nobody's scared OF it. everybody gets
we'll pretty quickly. Most Of the boys
90 right back to the trenches and
never get II. again.

War Review by
J.W.T.Mason

Germany is trying to use her
peace offensive TO entice America
into protecting the German nation
against the righteous retribution
for its crimes against humanity.
By seeking to encourage interna.
tional sentimentalism among
Americans. Germany hopes to es-
cape with some of her loot. at the
same time dividing the democracy

While pleading for a peace OF

has taken no action against its
military criminals who have tried
to conquer the world by rape, in
cendiarism, murder and robbery.

Now that their bloody crimes
have failed, they cringe before the
least harmed. of their marked
victims and plead that their inter
ests, be safeguarded. They can not
speak honest words but a single
meaning. Their acceptance of con-
ditiOns for an aTmistice is so
praised to mean anything or moth
ing. Their promises of consutu-
tional reforms have no present
value. Prince Macmillan has not
summoned the reichstag and Sc
cured a vote of confidence since
he became chancellor charged by
the Kaiser to initiate peace Of
fensiye. @--. 3D..
Macmillan is as much an abso-
lutist in his power as were any of
his predecessors. Yet he declares
no German government can take
Office without the support of ma
j5rity of the reichstag. No peace
agreement with Germany is worth
anything unless IT is guaranteed
by the military might OF America
and the allies. No armistice can
safeguard the interest of demo-
crazy that isn't dictated by Mar
shall Foch, General Pershing and
the allied commanders.
Germany has forfeited the
worlds trust. The penalty for that
is unconditional surrender. Other
wise democracy will be betrayed
at the hour of its triumph.
