tablecloth, wrapped about other fine
table and bed linen, under one arm,

under the other.
Another woman held a baby, a year
old, in her arms and grouped about
her were four other children. One bow
had on two suits of clothes. He also
carried a small basket with a piece
of bread sticking out Of the corner.
Each child had a bundle, containing a
few clothes. An old man, bent and
crippled with rheumatism leaned on
his cane, and ever he carried a pack
on his back. Out Of it protruded a big,
heavy, old-fashioned clock. He went
ceaselessly among his fe1low-refugees,
a haunting, inquiring look on his face.
Of every one he asked the same ques-
ton.
Had they seer his wife? Her name
was Henrietta. She had become sepa-
rated from him the night before when
the refugee train left Amiens. Were
they sur they hadn't seen her? All
the rest Of his life he would search
for her. The loss of home, farm and
whole life's work could be borne.
But the loss Of ones mate for so
years, All, Monsieur. that is too
much" he told me.
Over in one corner sat a couple,
who had passed the four score mark
in years. They squatted on their bun
dies, huddled close together. They
never spoke. Just stared straight
ahead. 1t seemed that all the misery
of ages had gathered in their eyes.
There was the hopelessness of a per-
son condemned to death. the horror
and mercilessness of war, and the
resignation that Christ must have cor
ried in his eyes on the march to Cal
vary.
All day this couple had sat in the
station with the hundreds of other
refugees. They had been fed by the
Red Cross soup kitchen which had
been established just across the street.
Bread and soup, hot coffee, and choc-
olate had been passed around. And
tonight the Red Cross was to find
shelter for them.
1t was after five o'clock and raining
when the Red Cross trucks and auto.
mobiles drew up in front of the sta,
ton for the first load of refugees. Al

"Major Moorehead, commanding Of

not speak too highly of the efficiency
OF the nurses. He made special men
ton of their bravery at the time of
air raids. He particularly mentioned
the excellent work of Miss Turnhull,
the nurse in charge, and felt that es-
necial praise should be given to Miss
Elmyra Bears of Cambride, Mass,
who gave ether with the greatest
calm, all during the night of May 20
when bombs were cracking all around
the hospital. He spoke particularly
too, of the attention to duty and brav-

Of Berkeley, Calf, and Miss Stephens,
Miss Harte and Miss Ehret, nurses

major Moorehead reported bravery
on the part of Miss Natalie Scott. a
nurses aid on the night when B.

the hospital wa struck and several
buildings adjacent completely demol-
ished. Almost all the windows were
shattered. In an annex, nearby, were
several American patients who had
been part of Miss SCOTS responsible

Miss Scott in the pitchy darkness,

SOME OF THE BITS YOUR
LIBERTY BOND WILL DO

If you buy a 500 bond Of the
Fourth Liberty Loan you are lending
the United States Government enough
money to feed a soldier in France a
little more than seven months. Or you
have furnished enough money to give
him a complete outfit of winter and
summer clothing, including shoes and
stockings, and slicker and ov~eracat
and blankets, with enough left over to
arm him with a good revolver. You
have done that much to beat back the
Hun.
1t takes s35 more to arm him with
a rifle with a bayonet on it, and if
you buy a second 500 bond you fur
nish him this rifle and 1000 cartridges
for it; and there will still be enough
Of your money left to purchase a good
sized bomb to throw in a dugout, or
demonlish a machine gun together
with the Hun operating it.

DEMANDS HEAVY
TAX UPON WAR PROFITS
Also Tells Committee New Revenue
Bill Must BE Finished Be-
fore Next Loan.
EXPENSES ExCEED ESTIMATES
Explains Meaning of Imposts Which
He Deems Come Directly in Line
for Raising the Large Revenue
Demanded by War.

WASHINGTON. August l4.-secre
tary McAdoo told the Ways and Means
committee to-day that 1t is not only
imperative that the new revenue bill
ssouId impose heavy tax upon war
profits. but that the bill should be-
come a law before the beginning Of
the next Liberty loan campaign OF
September IS.
The expenditures for war purposes.
he Informed the committee, have ex-
ceedcd all estimates, and by January
o. next year the monthly increase,
which has been sl0O,0oO,0oo during the
present fiscal year. will be very much
greater. At the time the original csti-
mate was made. calling for a revenue
bill of $4,000. .0O0. 900. expenditures were
lower than they are now, and present
conditions. in the light OF information
in the hands of the Treasury Depart
ment. make it necessary that every
cent up to the ss,ooc.ooo.o 900 figure
should be obtained
Reviewing the controversy between
the Treasury and committee over the
war profits and excess profits rates.
Secretary McAdoo said that the dis
tinction is not matter of form. but
of substance. He declared that the
war profits tax should be SO high that
no one would be permitted to make
any profit out OF the war.
Secretary McAdoo said: by a war
profits tax We mean tax upon profits
In excess of those realized before the
war. By an excess profits tax we mean
tax upon profits in excess OF given
return upon capital. The theory of
war profits tax is to tax profits due
to the war. The theory OF an excess
profits tax is to tax profits over and
above a given return on capital. A
war profits tax finds its sanction in the
conviction OF all patriotic men Of what
ever economic or political school. that
no one should profit largely by the
war"
