Of the $8,OOO,OOO00O revenue bill was
practically completed on "Wednesday

of 50 per cent will be levied and on
profits of from Is to 20 per cent the
tax will be so per cent.
On profits above 20 per cent the tax

is expected that it will be approved
and incorporated into the bill which
will be reported out.

Glasses if Senate Accepts Amend
ment-Fight to call Youths
Last Fails.

Washington, Aug. 27.-By vote OF
336 to 2 the house passed the admin s.
tration man-power bill on Saturday,
making the draft age limits eighteen
to forty-five years, substantially as
drafted by the war department.
The only votes afainst the bill were

by the house Of representatives pro-
vides for extension of the army draft

cause men to be re-eXamined after
their cases have been decided by local
boards, and that citizens of cO-belllg-
erent countries will be subject to the
draft except where treaties would be
violated.
An attempt to have men between
the ages of eighteen and twenty called
only after all in class l over thirty
years had been called failed.
The senate failed to reach a vote, as
had been expected. So many senator's
indicated a desire to discuss the bill
that Senator Chamberlain of Oregon,
chairman of the senate military affairs
committee, foreseeing the impossible
ity of reaching a vote asked that it go
over until Monday.

ed on a second vote, 143 to SO.

ing exempted for essential industry.

that recommended by the senate mill
tary affairs committee. 1t was reject
ed 81 to SO.
The house agreed to an amendment
offered by Representative Treadway

dealing with local draft boards. The

marshal general, if dissatisfied with
the work Of a local board, to send spe-
cial examiner into the district to re-
examine the men in deferred classifi-
cations.
The Treadway, McCulloch and
Campbell amendments, adopted Fri
day constitute the only important
changes made by the. house in the BILL
The McCulloch amendment orders the
drafting of the resident subjects of
nations co-belligerent with the United
States unless they are specifically ex.
empted by treaty. The Campbell
amendment specifically authorizes the
placing of persons engaged in agrlcul-
tural occupations in deferred classes.

The Government has made public
the following facts which viii be OF

pledged to the Treasury Department
to invest in War Savings Stamps:
/. The signing of the armistice
and resultant peace does not mean
that the Governments war expenses

the next year that the Government
points out the necessity and duty q
every person investing In more War
Savings Stamps than he pledged.
8. All reports that the ending ol
