DISCUSS WAR FUND DRIVE
Y. w. c. A. Workers Attend Confer

Y. w. c. A. Workers Attend Confer
ence in Chicago.
Chicago, Sept. 11.-"Most women do
not want to work with women. They
prefer to work with men," Two hun
dred Young Women's Christian asso-
citation workers from all over the Unit
ed States assembled for a war work
conference at the Blackstone hotel
gasped and then laughed when Mrs. E..
NJ Townsend Of Oyster Bay made the
above assertion in her talk on the
hostess hOusewOrk Of the organization.
"The Y. w. G. A. soon realized that
there must be place where the too
enthusiastic girl might be cared for,
and the sisters and the cousins and
aunts might find place to see their
soldiers and sailors" Mrs. Townsend
said that there are now 80 hostess
houses at the various camps and ports.
The conference is arranging for the
combination drive In November by
which it is hoped $173, 100000 may be
raised for the Y w. @. A., the Y. M. G..

WAR BONDS FREE OF TAX
McAdoo Would Exempt Liberty Sc
curities Up to $4,000.

Washington, Sept. Ito enable
the government to float the fOrthcom-
ing fourth Liberty loan successfully
without raising the interest rate, and
otherwise to facilitate the financing Of
the war, Secretary Of the Treasury
McAdoo asked congress for immediate
legislation. In brief, Mr. McAdoo's
proposals are:
"That interest on fourth Liberty
bonds, not to exceed $4,000 principal
held by any one owner, shall be exempt
from income surtaxes and excess prof
It's and war profits taxes.
'That in addition to the present tax
exemption on second and third Lib
erty bonds, not to exceed $45, 600 prin-
cipal IN the aggregate, and not exceed
ing one and one-half Of the principal
Of fourth Liberty bonds subscribed
and still held by the owner, shall be
exempt from income surtaxes and ex-
cess profits and war profits taxes.
Thus an owner of $4,000 prior issue
bonds would not receive full exemp-
tfon unless he should purchase and
hold at least $4,000 fourth Liberty
bonds.

state department, says he sent his
staff and American civilians there out

American and allied civilians and off,

have always left modesty to others,
we are now making good our boasts
we are proving that when we said we
could do certain things we were mere.
ly telling the truth. We have threat
ened mighty things and now we are
calmly doing those mighty things. We
may not be as modest as 100000, 600
violets, but when we are hot under the
neckband we can deliver "some" heavy
punch!
We are money grabbers. But how
lucky for our allies that fact is! II
1t had not been for our money, Ger
many would have been victorious some

We are gradually, steadily, relent.

The world is cleaning house. Its
