DELAY IN Sen Ing LISTS
OF CASUALTIES EXPLAINED
General Pershing Says He is Using
Every Effort to Collect Names
During Present Of
fensive

WASHINGTON - Replying to
request that he expedite the lists O
American casualties in the fightins
on the Soissons-Rheims salients, Gen
eral Pershing Friday cabled Secre
tary Baker that the task of assembl
ing the names of the men was an ex.
tremely difficult one because of the
limited means of communication in
the battle areas and owing to the fact
that American troops are orgaded
with French and british units.
Secretary Baker said no estimate
of casualties was contained in Cen
eral Pershings cablegram. There
was nothing to indicate Friday when
the casualties of he present severe
fighting would begin to come in.
Il have received cablegram from
General Pershing in regard to reports
OF casualties" said Secretary Baker.
He points out that our troops are
still widely separated, serving many
places, and that our wounded are
taken to French and British hospitals
as we'll as our own, causing great
and complication in secur
ing accurate in >rmation.
In addition to this, the troops are
separated from their records while
in t he area of conflict, and must de-
pend upon very inadequate and tenn
porary telegraph lines, which are
subject to frequent interruption. and
must, for the most part, be devoted
entirely to the urgent business of
The battle itself.
General Pershing assures me that
re is making every effort to collect
casualty lists, have them confirmed
Ind verified, and that they will be
transmitted promptly"

INCREASED TAXATION.
War Profits, Unearned Incomes and
Luxuries Face Higher Rates. {

| Ii Il 4 /.
Secretary McAdoo's position rela-
tive to taxation for the coming year
was frankly and positively stated IN
his letter to Majority Leader kitchin
of the house of representatives. He
wrote in part:
'.We can not afford to rely upon
s4, 900, 900, 900 only for taxation, be-
cause we shall then have to rely on
raising $20,0O0,00O,0 900 by loans.
This would be a surrender to the
policy of iigh-interest rates and in
flation, with all their evil conse-
quences.
IF we are to preserve the fnan-
eial strength of the nation we must
do sound and safe things, no matter
whether they hurt our pockets or in
volve sacrifces--sa sacrifices of a rela-
lively insignificant sort compared
with those our soldiers and sailors
are making to save the life Of the
nation.
"The ]. sound thing to do unques-
tionably is to increase taxation, and
the increase should be determined up
on promptly and made effective at
the earliest possible moment.
The secretary's recommendations
briefly. are that one-third ESTIMATED
at $4,000, ,000,O0O) Of the cash ex-
penditures to be made during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1919, be
lprovided for by taxation, a real war
profits tax at high rate upon all
war profits, a substantial increase in
! the amount Of normal income tax

and heavy taxation upon all Injuries

II. JAMES sLAcKERs SCORED.
Ought to Be Reprimanded and Ostra-
cised, Says Interim Editor.

In commenting on the outcome of
the w. S. S. drive in St. James par
ish, the editor of the Interim ex-
presses the following emphatic SEN
timents, which, it might be remarked,
apply with equal pertinency to other
sections and are shared by every
true-blue American:
s'The big war savings stamp cam
paign which opened June 4 closed
July 4.
ssThe Interim had confidently ex-
pected every man, woman and child
in St. James to enlist in this inn
portant, patriotic work. The cam
paign was very intensive one and
was prosecuted, as a rule, along the
most patriotic and enthusiastic lines.
while great majority sub sui
scribed generously, some even az
most beyond their means, still there
are quite a large number who, lack

who failed to heed the call of their
country in this campaign should pe
socially ostracised for their lack OF
patriotism Our Limit Club could
easily have been doubled in member
ship if men of means, in some OF our
wards, had responded in proportion
to their purse.
ssWe gladly seize this opportunity
to felicitate those who bought war
savings stamps in proportion to their
means, but we regret that those who
showed lack of the proper patriotic
spirit cannot be publicly reprimand-
ed. If our government depended on
them for the wherewithal to prose
cute this war for liberty and justice
to a glorious and successful end,
Uncle Sam would be in a sad predlca-
ment. Thank God these SLACKERs
are in the minority, or this drive
could not. have been a1success.
"Our noble president has teiter-
ated again and again this war is one
of nations, not of armies, and all OF
our 100,000,000 people must be
economically and industrially adjust
ed to war conditions if this nation is
to play it's full part in the conflict.
.'Every one who loves his country
is always ready to back his govern

all occasions. Let it, therefore, from
now on be the earnest endeavor OF
one and all to make as great sacri-
fee for our government as we are

one embracing the loving spirit OF
two birds which pass into pair OF

Der him down in the least. He keeps
right on rolling up and down stairs,
jumping into fountains and over the

nature Of the plot. The ball-bearing
comedian retains all his vigorous
good nature, and a happy time will
be had by his host Of admirers. The
production is elaborate, and always
in good taste.
