PLEASING CONCERT
 FOR SLOVAK FUND

The Czecho-Slovak concert yester- day part of the campaign for the fund, was a decided success, both from a financial standpoint and from the pleasure accorded the audience. The Slovak songs and dances, which were a novelty to local people were greeted with hearty applause. The addresses of A. s. Ambrose, chair man of the committee and Gutzon Borglum, well known sculptor, devot- ed to the Czecho-Slovak cause, were enlightening and instructive.
 Miss Anica Fabry, with the reputa- tion of being the best singer in Amer ica, won the audience with her rendi- tion of songs in Slovak, Bohemian, French, English and Italian.
 The Jan Illus Choral union of New York, gave the Slovak folk dances.
 It is estimated that about 1O,000 was collected for the fund on Satur- day, Tag Day, but returns had not been fully rendered this morning. The final accounting will take place al the dinner to be held this evening at the Stratfield.

YPRES VETERAN STIRS AUDIENCES
 AT THEATERS

The tremendous slaughter of the Canadian regiments at the battle of Ypres was pictured for local audiences at the Plaza and Poli's theatres last night, by Lieut.. N. G. Milson, veter- an of dozen battles. The lieuten- ant, the only officer left in the 62 sur vivors of regiment of 1,03O, gave a vivid description of fighting in the early days of the war, and his picture of the horrors of the first gas attack by the Germans will never be forgotten by his hearers. His message to Americans is the same as the words of a dying officer at the famous bat tie. Stick to it, boys, Stick to it.''

Headquarters Is very much delight ed with the maner in which the Scouts responded to the call for service this week.

WILL HAVE UNIFORMS.

Although after all was said and done some of the women employees of the Bridgeport Division Ordnance De pertinent discovered that they had voted to wear uniforms, when they are really not in favor of so doing. Now it appears that the vote taken is a final one and uniforms it is to be. It is all entirely unnecessary as they are civilians, doing civilian work and there is nothing about the work that necessitates a uniform. As yet no definite decision has been made as to the style that will be adopted.
 The War Department announced that for the first time. soldiers under orders for duty were transported by air route. Eighteen enlisted men were carried from Chanute Field, Rantoul, to Champaign, III.

WAR PROFITS TAX
AND EXCESS ALSO
IN REVENUE BILL
Committee Plans to Give the
Treasury Option of Using
Either System

Washington, July S0.-There will be
war profits tax. based upon the
English system, as well as an excess
profits tax written into the $S.0o0.-
000 o0C revenue bill. according to Rep
resentative Henry T. Rainey. acting
chairman OF the Ways and Means
Committee, ErepalirS the bill.
This sclcc:,ve sN stem of taxation.
cr.g.rslly recommended by the Treas
ury Department. will be adopted as
the cnly way to justly reach all tax
able corporations. Mony corporations
are making less rooney since the war
than before and therefore would not
paw as heavy a tan under the English
system, as under the excess profits
pian, based upon capital. Many OF
the larger c. rt'orttions made more
IN ,ney Just prior to the war than
since because the piice-rXing system
has reduced their profits. On the
other hand, vast number of small
corSorltions have made greater prof
its since the war and an excess
profits tax based on capital would
not net as big a re- enue to the gov
erument as a tax on the war profits.
The Ways and Means Committee.
Mr.. Rainey said, was considering the
writing Of the two systems in the
bill. authorizing the Treasury Depart
ment to elect which system TO impose
in respective cases. In other woros'
the Treasury will be empowered 10
decide whether the excess prohts tax
ranging from 80 to so per cent, or the
war profits tax shall be levied.
Rates Tentatively Agreed Upon
The committee has already tenta-
lively agreed to this excess proht tax
as previously noted:
A specific exemption of $4,000 plus
ten per cent on the amount OF IN
vested capital and upon the rates as
follows:
Thirty per cent. upon the net in
come in excess of exemptions and not
n excess of 20 per cent. Of the net
iLcCne.
FIFTY per cent. upon the net in
come in excess of 90 per cent. and not
in excess OF 20 per cent.
Eighty per cent. on the net income
in excess OF 25 per cent
