AGAINST EXEMPTING
OFFICERS FROM TAX

Secretary Daniels has sent a letter
TO Senator Simmons. chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, protest
ing against the discrimination shown
by that body in offering an amend
ment to the new revenue measure
which would exempt naval officers
serving abroad from paying income
taxes.
at is my judgment" the Secrc-
tary said, that the income tax
should be paid alike by everyone
those in the naval service and all
other military service as we'll as
those in the civilian walks OF life"
Constant interchange OF orders
would make it impossible for the
Navy Department to determine who
shall and who shall not pay the tax.
Officers are sent from shore duty to
serve in foreign waters as the ext
Sencies Of the service demand.
Recent promotions for a number
of Officers have appreciably increased
their incomes. and the last session
Of Congress gave quarters to Of
fcers on foreign duty. Besides,
avail officers have not asked for ex-
en-, n from the tax.

OPPOSES CHILDREN
AS WAR WORKERS

Efforts being made to break down
child labor laws so that children may
be employed for war work, were op-
posed in a statement made yesterday
by Felix Frankfurter, chairman OF
the War Labor Policies Board.
THE imperative need for a maxi
mum production OF the materials OF
war" says Mr.. Frankfurter. requires
that all available reservoirs of labor
be drawn upon. The exigencies o.
the national situation are such that
recurrent suggestions that child Ia
Dor be utilized have been heard. In
view of this fact. and in view OF tina
probable increasing demands that
children be included in the Industrial
mobilization for war, the policy of
the war production agencies OF the
government should be clearly kept In
mind.
1.-THE War Labor Policies Board,
which Is the voice OF all the indus
trial agencies OF the Government.
has in part defined this policy by
anti-child-labor regulations con-
tanned in the contracts made by the
war administration"
These regulations are thus enum-
Grated by Mr.. Frankfurter:
/. That no child under fourteen
years OF age shall be employed on
war work.
.. That no child between fourteen
and sixteen years OF age shall be
employed more than eight hour
day, nor before 6 a. m. nor after
D. m, nor more than six days a week
on war materials.

SA|ONJ| IS CHOSEN
JAPANESE PREMIER

TOKYO, Sept. 30.-Marquis Saionji
has been selected to undertake the
task OF forming a japanese cabinet,
to be based, it is believed, on political
parties.
The Marquis Saionji Is one OF the
strongest men in the empire. He vir-
tually has the rank of elder states
man. The marquis is former presi-
dent of the seiy ukai and retired from
politics in 1914.
The designation OF the marquis as
premier is expected to have a sooth-
ing effect on the adherents OF the
plan to have the government based
on parties.
The greatest problem of the new
cabinet will be to decide on Japan's
a attitude toward the reconstruction OF
the Russo Austro-German front, which
is believed to be favored by Great
Britain and France.
1t is reported that Marquis okuma
has recommended Viscount Kato for
the post of foreign minister in the
new cabinet.

we have learned to expect from him.
President Wilson in his Liberty loan
speech describes the character and

plainly whether or not in the plan
now being shaped fc= a league Of
nations their vision and their pur-
pose correspond with him.

mass of thoughtful Christian
folk in England feel with an
earnestness beyond the power
of words the force of his conten-

a policy, but a principle. based not
on national interest, but on righteous
ness and justice; that the enduring
peace we want can be had through

Aim AT WOMEN LOAFERS

Mrs. Raymond Brown, of New York
city, who has just returned from
France, declares that there should be
passed in every State an antiloafing
law for women between eighteen and
fifty. Mrs. Brown believes that the
principal duty of American women
now is to maintain standards of liv-
ing, and sees much to be done in con-
structive social work. such as child
welfare.
In France women are working
twelve hours a day, with two hours
recess at noon, and the privilege of
working eight hours in the United
States under first-rate conditions
should not be neglected, according to
Mrs. Brown, who is now interested in
organizing a hospital unit for ever
seas service.
