DISTINCTIONS:
IS NOW "U.S.A.'
The Regular, National and
Guard Armies Lose Ident-
ity-Become One.

The War Department will drop all
insignia and al regulations which
up to the present time have led TO
the consideration of the American
army as being composed of regulars.
national army men and National
Guard units. In the future all forces
will be designed solely as numerical
units OF The Army of the United
States"
The new plan, worked out by Sec
retary of War Baker and the general
stan, will insure greater solidarity
in the administration OF the cat lon's
fighting forces. The only divisions
under the general definition OF the
army will be the Expeditionary Force
in France. and the expeditionary
forces which may be formed in Italy
and the Far East.
March Is I'm Command.
Gen. March, as chief of staff, will be
in commando the Army of the United
States Under military regulations
he Is chief of staff to the Secretary
of War or to the President OF the
United States. Under the present
policy Of the President he is acting
under the Secretary of War. The
President Is Commander-in-Chief or
the United States army and navy.
PershIng Ranks Bliss.
Gen. Pershing. as commander of
the forces in France, Is ranked by
Gen. March. but under present inter-
pretations ranks Gen. Bliss, Americas
representative in the Council Of Yer
sailles. With the announcement OF
the modified regulations, it is under
stood that changes will be inaugI-
rated in the insignia worn by al! men
in the army of the United States.
Up to the present time men of the
regular army have worn the simple
U. 5. on the collars of their tunics.
Other members have had the letters
N. G. or N. A. superimposed upon
the larger letters L. S. In the fu-
ture it is said. unofficially. all men
in the army will wear the simple 1T
ters L. 5. 1t is said that the change
will greatly aid officers and men
abroad who have felt that members
of the old regular army were often
inclined TO distrust the ability Of the
army's newer men.
Announcement Probably Today.
Secretary Baker intimated that an
announcement of the contemplated
changes may be made by Gen. March
today.

TEN PER CENT
TAX ON AUTO
SALES IN BILL
Same Rate on Photographs,
Sporting Goods, and
Cosmetics.
FSDERAL LICENSE, TOO
Double the Present Tax on
Theater Admissions Is
Agreed To.

A tax OF 10 per cent on the sale
price of all automobiles was written
into the new revenue bill by the
Ways and Means Committee yester-
day. Motor trucks. on account of
their great usefulness in war work,
are to be taxed only per cent.
The tax is to be collected on the
gross sales OF the manufacturer, pro-
ducer or importer.
Included also in the 10 per cent
schedule will be player pianos.
graphophones, monographs. talking
machines, sporting goods-including
baseball bats. golf clubs. fishing rods
and reels, pool and billiard tables
perfumes. cosmetics. tonics, proprie-
tary medicines and cameras. All of
these except cosmetics and proprie-
tary medicines are now taxed per
cent.
The automobile tax. according TO
estimates submitted by the Treasury
Department. will produce about s7o,-
100000. The per cent tax now in
force is calculated to yield about
SO, 100000 during the current fiscal
year.
Levy on Auto Users.
In addition to the 10 per cent tax
agreed upon yesterday. Chairman
Kitchin authorized the positive an
nouncement that the committee will
impose another tax. which will be COL
lected from the user of the automo-
bile. This tax, which only has been
tentatively discussed. will be in the
nature of a Federal license, collect
able from the user of the car in the
same manner as state licenses. Mr..
kitchin declined to make any pre-
diction as to how high these rates
might run, but the Treasury Depart
ment has recommended a scale of
from $40 to $50, according to the cost
price of the car.
1t was announced that the 10 per
cent tax was agreed upon without
any opposition.
The question Of a tax on gasoline
has not been considered by the COM
mittee
Other taxes agreed upon yesterday
by the committee were a doubling of
the admission tax on theaters, operas,
motion picture shows and similar
places of amusement. The present
tax is 10 per cent: under the revised
schedule it would be 20 per cent.
This tax applies to all admissions of
10 cents or over. To get at the small
Ter priced houses, the committee ten
tatively decided to impose a tax of
l cent on all admissions where the
maximum charge does not exceed Z
cents. Under the existing law all
moving picture shows, theaters and
other amusements whose maximum
charge does not exceed cents are
exempt from the tax. The new tax
would exact 1 cent from every admis-
sion up to and including cents.
In deciding upon this tax, the COM
mittee took into consideration that

Baker Asserts Quick De-

in United States.
IMPROVEMENT RAPID

The subcommittee of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee, which
has been Investigating aircraft
production, will recommend the
creation OF a separate department
to have full control over all aerial
work
The one way. in the opinion of
members of the committee, for the
United States to play its important
part in gaining absolute mastery
and winning the war in the air.
independent of the armies on land
and the nayies at sea, is to estab-
lish immediate touch between a
great and independent department
at home and every phase of the de-
velopment Of aerial warfare abroad.
There is no disposition on the part
of members of the committee to
make recommendations contrary to
the wishes or plans of the President,
or the War or Navy Department.
The question is simply one of de-
velopment. of stupendous growth in
importance to the United States and
the allies OF gaining the mastery
of the air. Admittedly this can
not be done without the full use of
United States. and for the United
States to give in full this needed
strength will require work enough

partments combined,
X The de -Havilsnd.
Yesterday the subcommittee took up
the subject Of the de Haviland fight
ing machines which were to be the
mainstay of our forces in the air at
the front in connection with army
Operations. Disquieting reports have
been circulated about this machine.
The American model, developed from
the British model. was said to have
developed serious faults. Gen. Per-
shing was reported to have asked that
no more of this type be sent to
France.
Secretary Baker, in denying the re-
port that Gen. Pershing had aban-
doned the American de Haviland as
fighting machine, summarized the
situation in aircraft production exact
ly as it has been revealed by the in
vestigation of the Senate committee.
Mr.. Baker said.
Perfect AirpIanes.
There are probably no perfect air.
planes. Improvement in the best OF
them is constant and rapid, both as
to types and succeeding numbers Of
the same type. This Is true of .he
de Haviland as of all others. The
latest machines made of that type
are better than the earlier ones. and
this improvement. We hope, will be
constant. Gen. Pershing has request
ed a large shipment of de Haviland
planes (de Haviland q Of the present

men, large quantities of explosives,
