traordianry records has been changed
by Or. Joohn d. Motot, National Di-

paign, so that the eleven states over
subscribing their quotas by the larg-
est per centage will have the honor
Of having huts named after them in
stead of the states which are the
6rst to reach their quotas. This an
RounCement was made in a telegram
received by the southeastern depart
ment headquarters of the United War
Work drive. 1t was anticipated that
So eagerly would most OF the states
subscr. be their quotas that there
would probably be great difficulty in
ascertaining accurately just which
states reach their Sntas first There
fore the oversuh5e' bling bases Ia to
D. used.
The huts to be named for the sew
eral states will be divided as follows;
Six Y. M. G. A. huts. three Knights

report received today from Beync
quoting a Berlin despatch TO the

patch said that the new taxes would
be levied on war profits and that Il
deere dcterminative Of the tax would
be published within a fortnight. In
connection with the despatch the Ca
zctte observes:
"However legitimate may appear
the principle Of the tax one cannot
but consider with some anxiety the
hurry with which the government is
acting. The Allied powers will sure
ly augment their demands when they
are aware of the extent of our finan-
cal means, and will lay hold of the
sum in question. The result will be
dimunition of our national wealth,
bring no profit to the state and an
increase in the taxes which fall on
German citizens.
