TREASURY HAS
OBJECTIONS TO
WAR TAX.PLAN
Department Asks Ways and
Means Committee for
Single Tax. !

A sharp clash between the Treas
ury Department and the Ways ana
Means Committee over war profits
taxes In the revenue bill developed
at yesterdays session of the COM
mittse. No agreement had been
reached when the committee ad-
journed long after the dinner hour
last night.
The Treasury oficials demand .
straight tax OF so per cent on all
business profits derived from war
contracts or war business. The COM
mittee favors q double system, in
cluding q high excess profits tax and
a war profits tax. giving the Treas
ury the alternative of selecting the
one which will yield the govern
ment the greatest amount Of rev.
enut.
r. o. Lefingwell, an assistant Of
the Treasury Department. was be-
fore the committee all yesterday in
support of the war profits tax plan
He contended that the committee
should follow the English system Of
super-imposing the 90 per cent tax
on the profits made out of the war.
He did not. favor the committee sched-
ulc for excess profits. believing that
rates to be too low.
The committee decided that tho
super-taxes on personal incomes
which were previously agred upon
were too low. and accordingly voted
to raise them as follows:
On incomes between 100000 and
s3o0.000 IS per cent; on incomes be-
tween 100000 and s50o.ooo, 80 pei
cent; on incomes between $500. 200
and $1,000 200, IS per cent; on in
comes between $1,000, 900 and $4,000.
900. 10 per cent on incomes over S..
100000, 75 5per cent.
There was some discussion by tht
committee as TO whether property OF
Germans which has been seized by
the alien property custodian, should
be taxed in the same manner as IL II
were owned by bona fde citizens oi
the nUited tSates. { Twas decided
to haev A itMchell aPlmer. the Gus.
todian, ebfore the committee TO igey
his views on the subject.

|NTERNED GERMAN AMERICAN OFFICER
 DENIES HE IS SPY

Ritter stated he has an uncle, Oscar Nuhn, 3001 Twenty-fourth street, Ia coma, and another uncle, Arthur E. J. Nuhn, in Chicago, business man.
 Litter said he landed in New York April 27, 1913, and was 20 years old. He remained Tn New Yorp over night, stopping at the Arlington hotel.
 It had been his intention, he salC, to obtain a position in New iorK City in bank conducted by Fleitmann & Co. He couldn't make the connection ani t',e next day he went to Chicago, where he took out bis first pircrs, stat ng he was 2l, and enlisted.
 Enlists In Army
 On May 6, 1913, he went to the Jefferson barracks, where he was as- signed to the Twenty-seventh inf 1n- try. He went to the Phillipine isl- ands on June 6, 1913, with the Second field artillery and sailed with that or ganizatiJn from San Francisco on the United States transport Logan on July 5, 1913.
 He arrived in the Philippine islands August ?, 1913. He purchased dis charge January s, 1915, and sailed back to san Francisco on the Logan, anding there Februery 12, 1915.

 He stands Squarely, talks straight forward and creates the impression that he is above the average in intel ilence. When he left Germany at ;'e age of F he went with the firm of Carl Voebicke & Co.,, in German East Africa, importing and exporting, to study.
 "My father died when l was 3 months old" he said.

OVER MILLION WOMEN ENGAGE
 IN INDUSTRIES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. - There are approximately 1,266,061 women in the United States engaged in in- dustrial work which is either directly or indirectly necessary to carry on the war, according to an estimate based on surveys made in 15 States for the National League of Women's Service by Miss Marie L. Obenauer with the sanction and assistance of the De- partment of Labor.
 "These million and more women, said Miss Obenauer, "are in the front rank of the industrial army of de- fense. They are the important women of the Nation. Bands do not play in their honor; they do not wear pictar- esqre uniforms; yet in the business of winning the war it is as necessary to protect their working efficiency as to safeguard the fighting efficiency of the men on the firing line"
 Figures are Conservative
 The figures given are conservative, Miss Obenauer states. 1t is estimated that the normal increase in the num- Der of women employed in the indus tries surveyed since the census of l3lO was 20 per cent. There were approxi- mately $500 women employed in the munition factories in 1910. The num- Der is now 100000, according to Miss Obenauer. This again, she states, is conservative estimate. She includes aeroplanes when speaking of muni- ton factories.
 "The thing our survey impressed upon us," said Miss Obenauer, lis that woman can not escape her world old job-the job of feeding and cloth ing. She finds this to be her job out side as we'll as in the home if she IS to be an important factor in winning CIle war.
 Community Sewing Places.
 "She longs to do her bit in pictur' esoue fashion, but she is needed most for the work which she considers more or less drudgery because it has been her work through the ages. The wo- men employed in the industries nee essary to the winning of the war are for the most part, weaving, sewing and preserving food"
 Miss Obenauer suggests, as way to help relieve the clothing shortage in the Army, the establishment of community sewing places under Gov ermert supervision.

The New Hotel.

Matters looking to the erection of
a modern hotel fronting on the pub
lie square are gradually taking def
mite shape. Mr.. w. A. Strom,
than whom no better man could
be placed at the head of such
an enterprise, is already making pre-
liminary arrangements. He will
soon open a blickyard in Edgefeld
and make all of the rough brick
needed tor the hotel. Of course,
the pressed finishing brick will be
bought elsewhere. Mr.. Strom can
also have the heavy rough lumber,
of which there is a large quantity in
such building, sawed from bis own
woods, thereby efecting another
large saving. He hopes to have
actual work of construction under

NOT DUE TO SEX ALONE.
Edgeield Women Have Learned
the Cause of Many Mysterious
Pains and Aches.

Many women have come to know
that sex isn't the reason for all
backaches, dizzy headaches and
urinary disorders. Men have these
troubles, too, and often they come
from kidney weakness. To live
simply, eat sparingly, take better
care of ones self and to use Doan's
Kidney Pills, is bound to help bad
kidneys get better. There is no
other remedy so wellrecommended
by Edgefeld people. Read this
case:
Mrs. E. P. Jackson, gave the fol
lowing statement April II, 1911:
Several years ago l used Doan's
Kidney Pills when I was suffering
with a weak and lame back. My
sides and. hips were sore and lame
and l couldn't sleep well on that
account. Doan's Kidney Pills rid
me of that attack of kidney trouble
and I am glad to endorse them
On February 7, 1918 Mrs. Jack
son said: "Doan's Kidney Pills
have proved themselves splendid

Furloughs for Agricultural
Labor.

The local board has received reg
ulations governing the issuing of
furloughs for men in the training
camps to engage in agriculture
where they are needed at home on
the farm. A supply of application
blanks for the granting of these
furloughs have also been received
by the board, and they will be sent
to men in camp or given to the
parents or other relatives of the
men upon request. The application
is made for the furlough and filed
with the local board, but the author,
ity of granting the furlough is
given solely to the commanding Of
fcer of the unit to which the sol
dier is connected. The regulations
state that furloughs will not be
granted to men who are soon to be
transferred from the camp at which
they are at present. In other words,
no furloughs will be granted in
cases which would result in an in
jury to the military service. The
local board has no authority to
grant the furloughs. This is dis
tinctly stated in the regulations.
The impression prefails that, as the
need for men to assist our Allies in
France is very great, but few fur
loughs will be granted.

Another Call For Men.

The calls for men for military
duty are being made oftener than
formerly by the Provost Marshal
General. Small increments, instead
of large ones, are being ordered into
camp now. The board has received
call for four white men to be en-
trained between the lst and 10th of
May. The exact date will be an
nounced later. This increment will
be sent to Fort Scriven, Ga, near
Savannah. This is the first time
that men, other than those volun-
tarily inducted, have been ordered
beyond the State.
Many persons do not understand
why the local board does not draft
and announce the names of the men
as soon as the notice of the call ap-
pears in the newspapers. The Off
cial notice to the men of their hav-
ing been ordered must contain the
exact date and hour to report for
entrainment, and this information
has never been furnished the board
for several days after the official
call is made. The board AL WAYS
HAS A WELL FOUNDED REA-
SON for every act, or for failure
to act, as the public may view the
situation, and, therefore criticism of
the board should not be INDUCED
in by the public.
