admirable target for the airmen.
Aviators, after serving to replace
heavy artillery by bombing front areas

at machine gun nests airmen, flying
low, drive the gunners from their

rush in and capture the guns before

100000 yANKS
TO WIN WAR, SAYS
Chief OF STAFF
New Draft Means 100000
Across by June.
VICTORY ON WEST FRONT
General March Asserts Defeat of Foe
In France Is Up to the American
Army-Bill Delayed Until
Next Week.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Plans for be-
ginning consideration in the senate
next Monday of the new man power
bill extending the draft ages were
blocked on Thursday by the failure OF
a quorum to appear when Chairman
Chamberlain submitted the report OF
the senate military committee.
In reporting the bill Chairman
Chamberlain disclosed to the senate
that General March had told the mill
tary committee it was up to the United
States to put enough men in France to
win on the west front, and he ex-
pressed the belief that 100000 Amer
leans under one commander could go
through the German lines wherever
they pleased.
The report also revealed that the
new American war program calls Tor
so divisions, or something more than
100000 men, in France by June 30
next, with IS more divisions in train
ing at home at that time. All the men
called for active service under the pro-
posed new draft ages, eighteen to for
ty-five, General March told the commit
tee, would be in France by next June,
according to the program.
Must Win on Western Front.
Secretary Baker informed the COM
mittee, the report said. that the presi-
dents policy called for concentration
Of American forces on the western
front, including Italy, and that the
theory of the fighting in the future is
that we must force the issue and win
on the western front"
Immediate extension of the draft
ages was declared by the army repre-
sentatives to be imperative in order
that the United States may throw its
full strength into the struggle and win.
If the draft ages are fixed at from
eighteen to fOrty-five, General March
said, the system of volunteer enlist
ment in the United States army auto
matically disappears.
The draft program and plans of the
war department are of such charac-
ter that the rapid movement of troops
to France is continuing, Secretary Ba-
ker said, and by reason of the very
great assistance given by the British
government in placing so much ship
ping at the disposal of the American
government the department hopes to
continue the accelerated movement
overseas.
100000 Men in Army.
There now are approximately 260O.-
900 American soldiers in this country
and overseas, Mr.. Baker added. The
reservoir in the United States is such
that even with the eXhausting for
time of the eligibles in class 1 the
movement of men overseas would not
be interrupted.
Fourteen National army divisions al
ready are in France, the secretary said,
and these have been included in the
new field army organization recently
announced by General Pershing. There
also are u National Guard divisions,
including the Rainbow organization,
overseas. together with five regular
army divisions.
"The policy of the war department
is to put the maximum number of men
in France with the idea of shortening
the war;"
The senate adjourned until Mon
day, and the plan now is to begin con-
sideration of the bill next Thursday, if
possible.

HEAVY SURTAX
ON UNEARNED
INCOMES WINS
House Body Accepts MCAdoo's
Suggestion.
PART PAYMENTS PERMITTED
Net Income From Dividends on Pre-
ferred Stock, From interest, Rent
ais, Royalties and Annuities
Called Unearned
Income.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE recon-
mendation of Secretary McAdoo that
heavier taxes be imposed upon un-
earned incomes than upon salaries or
wages in return for labor was adopted
on Monday by the ways and means
| committee.
The normal tax on earned incomes
of over $4,000 was fixed at 10 per cent,
an increase of per cent over the pres
ent law, and the unearned income nor
NAL tax was established at ID per cent.
Below $4,000 the normal rate is put at
per cent
There was great opposition to what
should be considered an unearned in
come, but finally this definition was
agreed upon:
THAT portion of net income derived
from dividends on preferred stocks,
from interest rentals, royalties and
annuities."
The committee changed the section
previously adopted providing for the
| payment of income taxes by individu-
ais and corporations in installments.
Exemptions Remain Same.
While the committee has not en-
tirely completed the section dealing
with incomes, Mr.. Kitchin said that
the exemptions will remain unchanged,
at 81 900 and $4,000 for single and mar
ried persons respectively, with 5000 ad-
ditiOnal for each child under eighteen
years. The normal rate on the first
| $4,000 of taxable income is per cent,
and after that the rate goes up to 10
per cent for earned incomes and Ii
per cent for unearned incomes, with

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds of Men in
Americas Fighting Service

To the American destroyer Fan
ming has come the glory of sinking
a German U-boat in the waters of the
war zone and capturing her entire
complement of officers and men.
The victorious ship was in command
of Lieutenant A. S. Carpenter, U. 8. N
whose skillful handling of his ship
and real bravery brought victory to
the American navy. The Tanning
and the destroyer Nicholson were in
a convoy when the periscope of the
undersea boat was sighted. Lieuten-
ant. Carpenter Immediately headed
his ship for the spot and three min
utes after the periscope had been
sighted dropped a depth charge. The
destroyer Nicholson closed in rapidly
dropping another depth charge.
When the coming tower of the Ger
man came to the surface both des-
troyers opened their guns on the en-
envy craft. The Tanning kept after
the boat, finally bringing the entire
crew on deck. The batteries were
trained on all hands and they were
taken prisoners, the submarine sur
rendering. Lieutenant Carpenters
men in their treatment of the pris-
oners showed fine ethics of the sea,
not only in their treatment but also
to the extent that when one of the
Germans was exhausted in the water
two of the Americans jumped over
board in an attempt to rescue him.
Lieutenant Carpenters home is at
George Street, New Brunswick. n. J.,
and he is a son of Mrs. John Nelson
Carpenter of that city. He was grad
uated from the Naval Academy in
1908 and has been in command of
the Tanning since February.

What might reasonably have been
expected has come to pass. There is
a. breach between the Bolshevik lead
ers. Lenine and Trotzlly, and it is
growing wider daily. That these two
could long pull together was hardly to
be thought of Every man Of their
kind wants to be the whole show
There is not room for two such even
in the affairs of Russia, where every
crank appears to have a following.
1t has developed that Trotzky is the
bigger man of the pair and his part
ner probably has become jealous OF
him. Further than this Lenine is gen
orally believed to have been working
in the interest of Germany, while
Trotzky, il re started out on that line,
seems 70 have abandoned it andfto be
devoting himself entirely to the task
of fomentiLg revolution in the realm
of the kaiser. This course naturally
would result in friction between him
and Lenine Meanwhile another up
heavaI in Petrograd appears to be i'm
Ininent, owing to the assembling of
the delegates to the constituent assem-
bly,. These clashes among the Russian
rabble may in the end prove to be the
country's salvation.
