Don't believe any rumors
that the crown prince, or any
other son of William, has been
captured. The crown price
uses a tactical movement that
makes his capture practically
impossible. When the army is
advancing or standing still in
battle he remains five or 10
miles in the rear and then,
when the army about-faces to
retreat, he is in the lead.

URGES FOOD CONSERVATION
ASTinistration's Appeal Discioses Fact
We Have 25o,oo0 German Pris-

New York, Oct. 28.-Prisoners to the
number of 250,O00 have been captured
on western front battlefields, it was
made known here when the federal
food administration disclosed that it is
necessary to feed them in addition to
feeding our own troops now in France
and many millions of mouths.
The statement points out the urgent
need for a rigid conservation program
on the part of the American people,
declaring that we must share our food
with 220,000000 subjects of our allies
in addition to feeding our own popula-
ton, our armies and t.e 250,000 Ger
man prisoners. Half as much food
again as has been heretofore sent must
be forwarded to meet the need, and
this, it is declared, can only be ac-
complished by conservation.

SENATORS SLASH
TAX ON SPIRITS
Radical Change Made by Com
mittee IN Provisions Of New
Revenue Bill.
PROHIBITION AGAIN HUNG UP
House and Senate Conferees on Emer-
gency Appropriation Bill With Its
Amendments for War Time
Measure Fail to Agree.

Washington, Oct. 26.-In lieu of the
taxes on estates proposed in the house
war revenue bill, the senate finance
committee in it's revision adopted a
plan of taxing inheritanceS of $1O,OOO
and more, at rates to be fixed late'
The committee also decided to reduce
to $2.20 per gallon the tax on distilled
spirits used for industrial, medicinal
and other nonbeverage purposes.
The new tax proposes that inheri-
tances received by heirs instead of es-
tates left by deceased persons, shall
be the subjects of federal taxation, af-
ter state inheritance taxes are i'm
posed.
The revenue of the government prob
ably would be half of the $11O,OOO,-
600 levy on estates proposed In the
house bill. Returns from life insur-
ance policies under $4,000 would not
be taxed under the committees plan.
Reduction of the rate on nonbever-
age distilled spirits and ALCOHOL or
dered by the committee was said to be
in response to interests urging it in
order to stimulate production of spir-
its needed for munitions and also to
reduce the cost of medicines. The
house had fixed the tax at $4.4O per
gallon. Recently the senate commit
tee reduced that to $500 and today TO
$2.20 per gallon, which is the rate I'M
der present law.
House and senate conferees on the
emergency agricultural appropriation
bill with its amendments for natlonal
wartime prohibition, failed to break
their deadlock in the rent prof1teering
section and decided to report dis
agreement.
The military deficiency bill, carrying
Sc, ,345, ,523, ,6SS, only a slight decrease
from the original house draft, was re-
ported to the senate today by the ap-
prOpriatiOns committee. Anticipating
speedy passage of the bill by the SEN
ate, the house interrupted its three
day recess program and adjourned un-
ill tomorrow so that no delay might
result in sending the measure to con-
ference.
