house was to leave untaxed only that
proportion of each share in the ratio of
the Liberty bond holdings to the total
assets.
THAT is" said Mr.. Kitchen, "if this
5000, 900 capital and surplus were in Lib
erty. bonds, it would amount to one
fifth of the $1,000, 900 assets. The state
might then tax four-fifths of each $500
share, to-wit, $3.50, and $40 value would
go untaxed by the state. The treasury
experts, however, inform me that un-
der the faulty wording of the bill the
entire amount of the value of the
shares might go untaxed, despite the
$1,000, 900 in assets which go to make
the stock valuable"
The new language proposed in re-
passage was drafted by the ways end
means committee as follows: Strike
out and insert the following: In de-
termining the value of the shares of
any national bank, state bank, trust
company or other banking institution.

or any of the possessions of the United
States or any local taxing authority.
there shall be deducted an amount equal
to the same percentage of the value OF

ALLIES HOPE TO MAKE
THIS THE LAST BATTLE
America and England Rushing
Mobilization of Big Armies
for France

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE United
States and her allies are striving to
make the great west offensive the last
enormous battle of the war
This is the answer today behind Amer
ican-allied arrangements for brigading
some United States troops with French
and Bnglish forces and hurrying all
trained forces abroad before summer is
done Announcement from England
overnight of the plans for FASTENED
American troop transport meant, in the
view of many authorities, that the al
lies will sacrifice somewhat on their al
ready shortened rations and get more
troops in return. The allies themselves
must provide the extra tonnage for the
moment, it was suggested here.
While no statement has been issued
here up to early today, the understand
ing was that the men to be brigaded
with the allies would constitute scat
tered units of men less seasoned than
the bulk of the American forces. They
will have had general training, howev-
er, and probably more of it than the
British give their men.
At the same time, the transport of
men thoroughly trained and waiting in
cantonments is being rushed to the last
degree. The voluntary censorship pre-
vents dealing in figures, but the gen.
eral thought here is that the canton
ments will be stripped of the first call
men by August.
Their places will be filled by second
call men as rapidly as the environments
have space for them.
The German offensive, stalking Ger
many's all on the outcome, has forced
the allies to strengthen their manpower
rapidly. England is on the verge of new
TO hurripHIV
And, with America increasing her fore
es considerably above original sched-
ules it is manifest to military men that
there is an effort on to make this west
ern struggle the last big one. True,
they say, the war will probably go on
another year or more beyond this bat
tie. but with Germany stood off or
beaten back, the victory will be with
the allies. This, they say, is a mathe-
NAUTICAL certainty. And, they point out,
that the faster the allied strength is

AMERICA IS HAILED
As FRIEND OF EUROPE
President Wilson Also Praised
by London Papers for
War Cooperation

LONDON, April 2.-The decision to
place American units in brigades with
French and British battalions for i'm
mediate participation in the fighting on
the western front is greeted by the
morning newspapers as a historic &C.
ton. The Daily Telegraph says:
THE part played by President Will
son in the deliberations which ended
in the decision will not be forgotten
by those peoples of Europe which al
ready owe so much to his strong and
resourceful craftsmanship"
The Daily Chronicle says:
1.-The fine spirit shown by the United
States throughout this crisis has been
the source of utmost encouragement and
moral support to her allies in Europe
Nowhere has the lesson of Brest-Litovsk
been more clearly read than in America
and nowhere is the absolute need for
defeating imperial Germany more dis
tinctly realized"
1T proves" says the Daily Express,
that America is in the war for vic
tory and in it is additional evidence Of
president Wilson's idealistic statesman
ship"
1.-The spirit in which this measure
has been taken by America" declares
the Morning Post, deserves, as it will
receive, the fullest recognition both in
France and this country, and that It
will have it's weight in Germany, too,
we cannot doubt"
The Times says:
ut seals the bond of brotherhood
which unites the European allies with
the United States in the common cause
a portion of it's units, even though ex-
pedient, will be only temporary and inn
plies a spirit of chivalrous sacrifice in
the face of staring necessity. 1t is no
mere paper decision because American
units already are mingling with our
armies in the battle line, and we are
of civilization. d.. This distribution of
