MIST DOUBLE OFFICE FORGE

Washington, October 5.-(Special.)- order to carry out the instructions of the new revenue bill, the s8,0Oo. .OOO, coo measure which is pending before the senate, the Birmingham office which collects government taxes in Alabama and Mississippi will require an increase in it's force of exactly 100 per cent.
 John D. McNeel. internal revenue col lector for Alabama and Mississippi, has notified Daniel Roper, chief revenue of ficer of the government, that whereas his office at present numbers 50 men, in the future 100 would be required. MT. Ro- per has answer that no action could be taken looking to relief until the bill was enacted into law.
 The complaint from Alabama is tho common complaint of all other districts of the United States. It is safe to es- innate, therefore, that the new revenue measure will result in practically doub- ling the forces of collectors throughout the United States

 MT. Camp construes this ear of corn as symbolizing the smiling approval of Gods benediction upon America s course and conduct in this great world wal, and more particular upon the state of Ala bama. While her sons and soldiers are making undying fame upon the fighting fields of France every loyal citizen of her commonwealth have gone over the top in their duties at home with such enthusiasm tha, they have set the very soil afire with an inspiration that has reproduced the living image of Americas most beau tiful and inspiring influence of war.
 MT. Camp is the author of very pretty and popular little book just published under the name of The Story of Old Glory From Washing ton to Wilson, which is brief and most pleasing presentation of Americas at titude in this great war extolling our noble President and his whole war cabinet as loudly as language can ex- press; advocating the conserva tion of food, purchase of war bonds together with the origin and the noble service of the Red Cross, all of which is in- structive, pleasing and patriotic.

 miles of Lille.
 The whole of Douai is seething mass of fire, from which the autumn wind is blowing great pillows of smoke and streams of sparks. Cambrai is burning and so are various towns throughout the whole area. There have been explosions and fires generally along the Lille front. The French just south of the British
 armies made important gains also today, and at last reports were several thou sand yards east of St. Quentin. Late ad. vices say they have stormed and passed beyond Remaucourt. northeast of St. Quentin.

 Mrs. John D. McNeel and Mrs. W. D.

servation of the rights of states firm believer that simply on account of war fundamental law should not be set aside takes the opposite view. It is his con tention that if Congress should give the government the right to impose 3 or per cent income tax on the salary of the governor of Alabama Congress would be recognizing the right of the government to collect 100 per cent, and thereby make it impossible for the gov ernor to~continue in office, It is his point that taxation is the power to de- stroy and that under the guise of taxa tion, the federal government, if un- bridled, could destroy the governments of the states.
 In the preliminary skirmishes over the proposition, a third view has been ad- vanced by Senator Kirby of Arkansas. Without regard for the constitutional principle involved, he declares that state officials should pay income tax on their salaries because their salaries are their incomes.

 THOUSANDS CHEER
 Just before the procession starred Boy Scouts passed along both sides of the street to be traversed by the marchers distributing torchlights, and these with the searchlight on top or the Tutwiler hotel and hundreds of flash lights and automobile headlights constantly flashed on the column made the streets almost as light as day and enahled the spectators to see the pag- cant to best advantage. All along the line as the women passed the thou sands crowding the sidewalks clapped their hands and cheered the paraders.
 Mrs. w. D. Nesbitt and Mrs. John D. McNeel, co-chairmen of the parade committee and County Chairman Muf- ray Brown of the Fourth Liberty Loan committee, reviewed the parade from the balcony on the Twentieth street side of the Tutwiler hotel.
 All along the line of march, from Sixth avenue to First avenue on Nine teenth street, First avenue. between Nineteenth street and Twentieth street and from First avenue to Capitol park the sidewalks were packed and every window and every door from which a good view could be had was filled with men and women eager to see the first parade ever held in Birmingham ir which there was not member of the male sex. Many wondered if the wom- en could pull off such a performance unaided by the sterner sex, but after viewing the pageant last night they will cease to wonder; they are con- vinced that it can be done, and on a magnificent scale and with the precision of a machine in perfect working or der.

 Maj. John T. Yeatman and Henry Dean made arrangements for the lights and that is the only part played by man, either in the preparations for the pa rade or the parade itself.
 In addition to the work of Mrs Nes- bitt and Mrs. McNeeI a great deal of credit for the success of the parade is due Mrs. Solon Jacobs, state chairman; Mrs. H. H. Shell, county chairman; Mrs Angus Taylor, city chairman and Mrs W. D. Smith, general of the Rainbow division and to the colored women w-lo saw to the arrangements for their part in the parade.
 The committee stated last night that they were under great obligations to Bragan Brothers for their generous as- sistance in supplying the torchlights.
 Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo designated October as Womans War Work Day and requested that it be celebrated all over the country with torchlight processions.

Tax on State Officials
 Brings UpNeWP Problem
Senator Knox Claims Federal Tax of This Kind Is Just fled, While Senator Underwood Contends Right
 to Tax Is Right to Destroy"
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, October 5.-(special.-Does war break down fundamental law? This question, in one of it's phases, is soon to be settled by the senate. The house, in the new revenue bill, has already done its part toward authorizing the government to collect it's toll from sala- ries paid officials of the several states.
 The question, it is certain, will be ar gued in the senate. Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, has formally declared that but for war, decisions declaring the government inpotent to collect income taxes from state officials, would be ac- cepted; but that inasmuch as war exists, the government is entitled in every re- spect to collect money for it's protection and perpetuation.
 Senator Underwood perhaps the most insistent member of Congress on the pre-
