CUTS AUTO TAX LEVY
Senate Committee Eliminates
Proposed Federal License Fee.
Finance Body Begins Work on the Tax
Provisions for 1o20-RepubIicans
Protest

Washington, Nov. 27.-In further re-
vision of the war revenue bill the SEN
ate finance committee struck out en-
t1rely the proposed federal license tax
on use of automobiles and motorcy-
cles, which ranged from SO to $50
annually in the house bill, according
to horsepower, and from So to S25 I'M
der the plan previously adopted by the
senate committee.
This eliminated S36,OOOOO0 in esti-
mattel revenues under the senate rates
and about $73,0O0,O0O the house had
planned to raise from this source.
Chairman Simmons explained that in
reducing the bill to $4,000 100000 for
1919, it was found that the motor We
hicle license tax was unnecessary. The
tax on sale of automobiles, however,
remains in the bill.
Over the protest of Republican COM
mittee members, the Democrats began
work on the tax provisions for 1920
Chairman Simmons presented his 1920
program, recently announced. 1t pro-
vides for reduction of the excess profit
rate t. about One-third more than
those under existing law, elimination
entirely Of war profits taxes continu-
alton of the special miscellaneous
taxes at reduced rates and reduction
of the normal rate on individual and
corporation income taxes from II to
8 per cent, with rate of only per
cent applying to individual incomes up
to $4,000.

A cablegram informing him of the

The message, the consul asserted,
authorized him to announce that the
Peruvian officials admitted that in
making public reports of outbreaks
against their citizens in Iquique and

he said, by the Peruvian consul at

The apology sent from Lima, Mr..

the Chilean officials and drought the

ON BASIS OF COMPROMISE
Couples Religious Differences, Which
Caused Trouble Once Year, Set
tied in Peculiar Manner.

Compromise where political and re-
ligious antagonisms are concerned is
evidently possible in Belfast, accord
ing to the testimony of a recent WIS.,
ftor to that town. One day she had
occasion to call at a house where
woman Of the Roman Catholic faith
had married a Protestant husband On
one side of the mantelshelf was a bust
of the pope, on the other a bust of
William Of Orange. 81 suppose you
find it very difficult to agree at times?"
inquired the visitor. "No," was the
ready reply; 1--WE only differ once a
year, on the Boyne anniversary, when
my husband comes home drunk and
smashes my bust of the pope" "Then
I suppose you return the compliment
by smashing his William of Granger"
"Not at ALL put it in pawn and buy
another bust of the pope with the
money" was the unexpected answer

AMERICAN TROOPS ON Way

TURKS ASK i. S. RULE
Press Urges Control of Gendarm-

Deputation May Present Program to
President Wilson During His
Visit to Paris.

Constantinople, Nov. 27-American
control of the Turkish gendarmerie
and finances is being urged by group
of nine newSpapers-Seven Turkish
and two French-in ConstantinOple.
The group also advocates American
supervision of the educational system
and the separation of church and
state.
A deputation will request permis-
sion to present the program to Presi-
dent Wilson during his visit to Paris.
The program will be announced this
week.
''This last war was the most disas-
trous in the history Of Turkey, not be-
cause she was beaten, but because it
made enemies of nations naturally our
friends" declared Abdul Medjid Eff
fendi, heir to the Ottoman throne, to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press, whom he received today.
''The present sultan and myself" he
continued, denounced the proposal
that Turkey enter the war. Moham-
med V, who was then reigning, showed
weakness before a clique of adventur-
ers like Talaat Bey and Enver Bey,
then cabinet ministers and now fugi-
tives, whom Germany had fed with
dreams of power.
81 am more ashamed of the Armeni-
an atrocities committed during the
war than of anything in our history,
but l must insist that they were
against the will of the present sultan
and the nation as a whole. They
were instigated by unpatriotic minis
tiers who were guaranteed in their
militariSm."

The Census in Ancient Times,

While the greatest strides in the
advance of vital statistics as science
have been made in recent years, their
origin may be traced to centuries be-
fore Christ. Indeed, Herodotus tells
us Of census of Egypt taken about
1850 B. c. for the purpose of making
arrangements for the construction of
the Pyramids. Elsewhere this same
author refers to second census, taken
about 400 B. G. in Egypt by Rameses
II for the purpose of reapporticning
all the land of Egypt among his sub
jectS. The Bible tells us that Moses
counted the tribes of Israel to deter
mine their fighting strength and that
David, about 1913 B. c., took a census
for the same purpose. There is a rec
ord Of census taken in China about
1900 B. c., when data of the provinces
were collected by Uking.-S. w.

Statistics.

Demand Left Bank of ScheIdt-Want
Rhine as Border.

Brussels, Nov. 27.-"Belgium must
have the left bank Of the Scheldt," and
that this demand should be made at
the peace conference is agreed by all
political parties in Belgium. Some ex-
tremists say that Belgium's natural
frontier in the east is the left bank of
the Rhine, while a more moderate
group would be contented with the
cession Of Luxembourg. The CORE
spondent has talked with many diplo-
mats, ministers and members of par
lament and they all agree on Belgian
occupation Of the left bank of the
Scheldt.
So far as the payment for losses is
concerned, Belgium reckons her losses
unofficially at 39,0O0,OOO,OOO francs
($7,6OO,OOO, ,OOO).

London, Nov. 27.-When the Maure-

5000 and 5000 from the flying corps.
1t is planned to dispatch a steamer to
America every day this week.
In planning the withdrawal of Amer
lean troops from England as soon as
possible, American army officers have
decided that the only units which will
remain are a few Of the medical serv-
ice and the staffs Of the rest camps.
1t is hardly probable, however, that
these rest camps will be required, as
troops are being sent home directly
from France, and the few units now in
England belong to regiments In
France and nay be sent there.
Steps are also being taken to clear
that patients who are not likely to
