ADOPTS new POLICY
War Department Changes Cas-.
ualty List System.
Only Names of Dead and Missing VIII
Be CabIed-Wounded Coming
by couriers.

Washington, Sept. 10.-A new policy
OF reporting casualties in the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces has been
adopted by the war department. The
names of wounded men will be sent to
the United States by courier twice a
week and only the names of the dead
and missing will be cabled by General
Pershing when the system is per-
fected.
In making this announcement Gen
eral March, chief of staff, said General
Pershing had not heretofore cent in
the James of men slightly wounded be-
cause generally the men had returned
to duty before the names reached the
United States. In reply to an inquiry
from the department, General Per
shing had reported, General March
said, that there were 10000 casualties
up to Aug. 20.
Under the new plan, the names of all
the wounded will be sent to the United
States by courier, together with their
hospital records, sc that a statement
of the diagnosis can be furnished to
relatives of the men.

Industries Board Creates
New List IF Priorities to
Remedy Defects.
MAKES FOUR CLASSES
Plan Governs Issuance of Certificates
for Fuel Supply, Electricity, Trans
portation, Labor and Basis for
Draft Exemption.

Washington, Sept. 10. - Chairman
Baruch of the war industries board
has announced a new priorities list
of Industries and plants essential to
the war or civil population.
1t was described as the master
key" governing the issuance of prior
ity certificates by the priorities COM
missioner of the board for fuel supply
or electrical energy, transportation,
terminal facilities, capital, and labor
and as the basis for industrial exemp-
ton from the draft.
The inclusion of the industries and
plants on this preference list" said
the announcement, does not operate
as an embargo against all others, but
the effect is to defer the requirements
Of all other industries and plants until
the requirements of those on the pref
erence list shall have been satisfied"
Four Glasses Selected.
Industries have been grouped into
four classes according to their relative
importance. No distinction, however.
has been made between any of the in
dustries or plants within any one class
and it was explained that no signif-
canoe is to be attached to the order in
which they are listed within any class.
The industries or plants under Glass 1
are of exceptional Importance and in
clude those most vital to the prosecu-
ton of the war and the public and
their requirements must be fully met
In preference to those of the three re-
naming classes.
Fuel for domestic consumption
residences, apartment houses, restau-
rants and hotels-is IN Glass /. In
that class also are food, railways
operated by the railroad administra-
ton, the army and navy, aircraft,
ships and s~hipyards, war chemical
plants, coal mines and by-product
coke plants, certain public utilities,
ordnance and small arms plants AND
ammunition and explosives.
Requirements of those grouped I'M
der Glass 2, 8 and 4 will be given pri-
ority over those not on the preference
list, but as between these three
classes there is nc complete or abso-
u preference provided. Relative
Importance of the industries and
plants within each group will be the
basis of operation.
Each plant listed In the three last
classes will be required to file with the
Wan Industries board before the 18th
of each month a report of it's activities
during the preceding month. Failure
to comply with this order will mean
removal from the preference list.

Chairman kitchin Finishes His
Explanation of War Rev.
enue Measure.
LIQUOR TAX REVISION
Order Prohibiting Manufacture of Beer
After Dec. 1 VIII Necessitate
Amendment of Beverage Seized
ule and Delay Final Action.

Washington, Sept. 10. - Chairman
Kitchin of the ways and means COM
mittee has concluded his explanation
in the house of the history making
revenue bill which imposes more than
$4,000, 900, 900 in taxes on the Ameri-
a people and authorizes twice that
amount in Liberty bonds for next
year.
Probable effect of prohibition legis-
lation on the nations revenues was
frankly discussed by Mr.. Kitchin In
explaining the beverage section of the
war tax measures. He also took up
the war and excess profits features
as well as those affecting corporations
and Injuries.
General debate on the bill will con
tinue this week and leaders revised
their predictions for passage of the
measure next Saturday. They believe
now that minor committee r%evisions,
possibly of the liquor tax because of
pending prohibition legislation and de-
bate, will prevent a final vote before
Sept. IL or Is.
Substitute for Rum Tax Needed.
In his address Mr.. Kitchin said the
bill should be enacted by both houses
OF Congress by Nov. l and he ex-
pressed the hope that another war
evenu measure next year would not
be necessary, although he said that II
national prohibition is enacted new
tax series will have to be found to re-
place the $3.50, 600, 900 estimated tax
on alcoholic beverages provided for in
the present measure.
Such legislation, Mr.. Kitchin said.
probably will not come before next
year, although the administration or
der announced, stopping the manufac-
ture of beer Dec. / next, will cause a
loss under the present bill of about
1920, 000, 900.
Future upward revision of taxes, Mr..
Kitchin stated, must be met under
conditions existing after the prohibi-
ton legislation is passed, and II 1t il
necessary to find new a sources,
several hundred millions can be OBJ
tanned by tariff increases, gross sales
and consumption taxes.
Corporations Not Hit Hard.
Praising the alternative plan of i'm
posing war excess profits axes on cor.
porations according TO the highest re.
turns to the government, MI. Kitchin
declared corporations are not init
hard by the bill, which, he asserted,
is satisfactory as a whole to Secretary
McAdoo.
Ability of every one to pay the taxes
imposed, Mr.. Kitchin insisted, had
been considered in drafting the bill
In this connection, he said, "a stupen
dous amount" of bonds must be aoat
ed before July ].
Tobacco taxes, Mr.. Kitchin explain
ed, are doubled by the bill, while the
luxury imports hit real Injuries. The
automobile taxes, he thought, were
rather high"
