WASHINGTON, April 19.-To re-
lieve railroads of much through

Director Gen. McAdoo today order
ed the establishment of a Great
lakes steamship line under the rail-
road administration To operate sew
en- ships between Buffalo and Chi
cago and Milwaukee. other vessels
may be added later.
This action is in line with the di-
rector generals policy of hauling
heavy freight by water whenever
possible and leaving the rail lines
Of the country TO handle cOmmodi-
ties requiring speedy transportation.
The new lake service to be started
within a week or two, Will take
much of the overflow of bulk freight
moving westward from eastern man
ufacturing centers. All rail rates
will prevail and TO a great extent ii
will be optional with the railroads
as TO the methods of transportation.
Thousands of cars are now held
upon western railroads as a result
Of congestion at big western termin-
ais and the inability of eastern roads
TO accept the traffic. COnsiderab bic of
this freight now will be taken by THE
steamers and the freight cars re-
leased. II will be known as the Le-
high Valley Transportation Co. and
will serve all eastern trunk lines
over a common terminal at Buffalo.

road; the other five were chartered
from the Great Lakes Transit cor
poration. Additional ships will be
added as the service requires.
The rail rates which will prevail

would automatically be abandoned af-
ter the war, and liquor revenue will
stop if the constitutional prohibition
amendment is ratified or sooner with
the passage of the wartime" prohi-
bition bill.
1t is almost certain that the multi
tude of minor taxes now levied on
transportation, insurance, admissions,
club dues, excise taxes, stamp taxes
and special taxes on certain bust
nesses, now yielding comparatively
little revenue and very difficult of ad-
ministration, will be. abandoned. To-
bacco and estate taxes probably will
remain, it is said. Whether tariff see

NO ATTENTION PAID TO
APPEALS OF GERMANS
Amended Terms of the Armistlce Are
More Drastic Than Before.

Washington, November 1S-Appeals
of the German armistice ENJOYS to
Marshal Foch for modification of the
terms of surrender we're of little avail
This is indicated by the amended
terms. Close survey of the amend
ments show few deviations in essen
tial details from the original draft
which was announced to the nation
Monday by President Wilson in an adj
dress before Congress.
The amended terms in some re-
spects favor the defeated enemy, but
other proportions completely Offset
the slight favors granted Chief among
the changes made by Marshal Foch
was the inclusion of provision under
which Germany is forced to give up
her entire fleet of submarines. The
original term as to submarines pro-
vided for the turning over to the AL
lies and the United States of only 100
U-boats. The amendment further pro-
vides that the German submarine fleet
must be surrendered within IA days.
Another of the IS terms which were
amended provides that the designated
units of the German fleet, which are
to be surrendered, must be prepared
to leave their ports within seven days
after the beginning of the armistice.
No time limit was fixed in the original
draft. Instead of $4,000 railroad cars
the Germans are required to surren-
der 10000 cars. The number of ma
chine guns to be turned over to the as
sociated governments is reduced from
| 10000 to $4,000. German troops in
East Africa are required to evacuate
that territory instead Of surrendering
| Specific reference is made in the
amended terms TO repatriation of Ger
man prisoners of war at the conclu-
sion of peace. Territories which be-
longed to Austria-Hungary before the
| war are added to those which must be
evacuated. Russian provinces are to
be evacuated "as soon as the Allies,
taking into account the internal stu
alton of these territories, shall decide
that the time for this has come" in
stead of Immediately. Provision also
is made in the amended terms for an
armistice commission.

ALL THE WAR TAXES TO
HANG ON FOR A YEAR
Treasury Estimates Needs Mt $4,000
100000 Annually-Burden To
Fall on Incomes.

Washington, November 13-Govern-
ment financial needs for many years
are almost certain to run above $4,
600 100000 annually, Treasury experts
estimate, and most of the money will
be raised by taxation. Consequently
students of Government finances think
the taxes imposed last year and paid
in June probably will not be lightened
materially by the advent of peace.
Secretary McAdoo warned that
tay es necessarily would be high for
me- ny years to pay off war debts, and
thi additional Government loans
would be required. He did not at
tempt to forecast how big the volume
of taxes would be.
Roughly, Treasury officials and con-
or ssional leaders in charge of reve-
nj legislation figure this way.
rdinary Government expenses,
vi CHI ran around billion dollars a
ye before the war, now will amount
to at least $2,OOO,OOO,OOO annually for
mi ny years, and for two or three
we rs after the war may be double
thut figure. If the 1880, OOOO 900 of
lii erty bonds already issued are in
creased in volume by later loans to
50 ,0O0,0O0,000, the interest on this
su would amount to about $1,000
90 90 a year.
4 addition it probably will be the
&C 'ernments policy to establish a
sill king fund to pay off the bonds at
mi turity, and this would require
alb 1t $1,25O,OOO,OOO a year. These
t, 20 items would make an aggregate
re $4,25O, 100000.
70 offset this, there would be near
ly half billion dollars coming in an
nually from the allies as interest on
their loans, which now amount to ST.
000,000,000 and are likely to run much
higher, and revenue from customs and
miscellaneous sources, which last
year amounted to about $450000, 900.
With allowances for wide variations
in these calculations there still would
remain about $3,5OO,OOOOOO to be
raised from internal revenue taxes.
Last year $3,643, 100000 came from in
ternal revenue, including $2,775,OOO,-
900 from income and excess profits
taxes. This year these figures proba-
bly, will be more than doubled,
Factors which make this system of
estimates highly tentative, officials
point out, are that the war is not yet
definitely over, so far as expense is
concerned, and that war debts both of
the American Government to the pub
lie and the allied Governments to the
United States cannot be figured until
then.
If the schedule of income taXes'now
being framed in the new revenue bill
works well, it is considered probable
that the bulk of after-the-war revenue
will come from income levies, which
next year will yield probably $780,
