Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster

in the House of Commons.

LONDON, June 25.-An important
debate was opened in the house of
commons today by Sir Edward Car
son, the Ulster leader, who. in ac-
cordance with a previous arrange
ment. raised the whole question Of
the governments policy in Ireland
with special reference to the recent
proclamation Of the lord lieutenant

The occasion had been awaited with
much interest, as 1t was known that
Edward Shortt would make his first
speech as chief secretary for Ireland,
while 1t was also expected generally
that Premier Lloyd George would
have an important declaration re-
garding home rule and conscriptfon.

FEE AGENTS BUSY
WORKING ON TAXES
May Deprive U. S. of Millions
of Dollars, Revenue Bu-
reau Hears.

Contingent fee agents. commissioned
turns, in which advantage is taken Of
all available technicalities to reduce
the assessment, are operating exten-
sively throughout the United States,
tending to deprive the government of
millions of dollars. These reports
reached the internal revenue bureau
today just as 1t was gathering in the
last harvest OF income and excess
profits taxes due tonight at the latest.
Scores of men who have familiarized
themselves with technical phases Of
the revenue law. particularly relating
to- deductions allowable, are canvass
ing concerns which have made their
returns and paid their taxes, 1t Is re-
ported, proposing that they be en-
ployed to work out new returns on
which the tax payment would be less.
and be compensated with percentage
of the amount of taxes saved the con-
cern. These agents then have the
concerns file amended returns and
apply for refund of the overpayment.
Tax officials are planning steps to
stop the abuse of the system. There
is no legal objection. they point out,
sfonal advice in making out returns
originally, or even in correcting gross
errors which cause injustice to tax
payers. Some professional tax advis-
ers, however, have persuaded con-
Germs to virtually falsify records, of
to increase exemptions on which tax
Is not paid.
Commission of these tax experts
range up to 80 per cent, it is said.

1.-THE victory of the Italian army over
| the AustrianS
/ The Secretary's message follows:
"The people of the United States are
watching with enthusiasm and ad-
miration the splendid exploits of the
great army Of Italy in resisting and
driving back the enemy forces which
recently undertook a major offensive
on the Italian front. I take great
pleasure in rendering my own hearty
congratulations, and would be most
happy to have a message Of greeting
and congratu1ation transmitted to
Gen. Diaz and his brave soldiers"
Commenting upon the exploit of the
Italian army, Mr.. Baker said while
the swollen waters of the Piave had
aided in producing the rout of the
enemy, the valor Of the Italians had
checked the Austrians before the river
!intervened, and the prompt delivery
Of the counter attack showed the
splendid organization and morale of
the reorganized Italian forces.
The Austrian disaster is certain to
have great effect not only on popular
opinion in Austria and Germany, Mr..
Baker said, but upon actual military
operations of the Germans in France.
The route by which German reserves
can be sent from France to support
the faltering Austrian line is diff
cult one, and the Secretary pointed
out that it took more than a week to
get the first of the French and British
troops to Italy when the Italians were
retiring last fall. although the rail-
lway connections of the allies are far
/ more direct than those available to
the Germans.
Mr.. Baker has received numerous
letters and communications showing
the interest the people of the United
States are taking in the work of the
Italian army. He said he was graft
fed that the American people were so
thoroughly awake to tho splendid per-
formance of the Italians.

"REBUKE" IS REFERRED
TO HOUSE COMMITTEE
Chairman johnson Will Call Spe-
cial Meeting to Consider SEN
ate's Criticism.

Chairman Johnson Of the House Dis
trict committee said today that he
will call a special meeting Of the Dis
trict committee this week to con-
slider the Senate resolution adopted
yesterday as a rebuke to himself, and
that the committee will make a
prompt report to the House. The
resolution was received by the House
late yesterday and referred under the
rules to the District committee.
Mr.. Johnson is in no way humbled
in spirit by the Senate action, and
still maintains the attitude he as
sumed yesterday on hearing of the
Senate resolution.
Why Call Is Necessary.
Tho House District committee at its
meeting a week ago adopted motion
made by Representative Gould of
New York that as the committee busi-
ness was SO well cleaned up no fur
at the call Of the chairman. 1t is for
this reason that Mr.. Johnson will call
special meeting this week to con-
slider the Senate resolution.
Mr.. Johnson's Comment.
You ask me what I think of the
action of the Senate relative to the
anti-prof1teering rent bill?" queried
Mr.. johnson last night. IT suggest
that you ask the mothers and sisters
Of the boys who are in France. You
might also inquire OF the thousands of
war workers who are being driven
out of Washington every month by
the profiteers.
"As for myself, I am not at all sur
prised at anything the Senate may do
relative to the matter. as it has been
that the landlords in and out of the
Senate did not intend any bill should
pass which would really stop prof1teer-
ing in rents. If patriotism in the Sen
ate should not rise above senatorial
dignity and swat the landlords both
in and out of the Senate the nation
must suffer the consequences"
