LIBERTY MOTORS
FOR BRIT AIN
English May Use American
Built Liberty Motors First on
Front.

Washinaton, D. C.-American built
Liberty motors may first reach the fight
ing lines in France driving French and
British scouts. 1t has been learned that
urgent requests from the Allied govern
ments for early delivery of the American
engines have been received and are being
met Shipments have already been made
to Great Britain and there are intima-
lions that General perShing approves dl-
verting additional motors to meet French
and British requirements, even If further
delay to production of American scouts
results.
The British government. is said
after careful investigation OF the engine
by special expert sent over for that
purpose. has been pressing steadily fir
some thousands of motors, to be deltv-
cred for use in British machines. The
French experts, at grst somewhat doubt
full of the Liberty motor, are now asking
for and will receive engines by July l.
Difficulties with overheating alleged in
q letter from Louis Cammen, read in
the SEM tie yesterday, to make the Lib
erty motor useless, are declared authori-
tatively to have been overcome. Radia-
tor trouble was encountered, particularly
when machines which had been operated
successfully in northern ATTITUDES were
taken south for tests. These have been
corrected it is stated, and the lubricat-
ing system OF the engine Improved to
the point where no furtherw trouble on
that score is anticipated.

According to Henry Brachhold secre-

here is absolutely no hope for any Of

that this was decided last week at the

Washington, Sept 20.
Whenever Congress faces the task Of
writing a tax bill IL always turns IN
stinctively TO liquor as an unfailing
medium for obtaining a large return to
the Treasury. in spite of the fact that
the liquor business has for many years
carried a tax burden heavier than any
other taxable article. No exception to
this rule has been made in the prepara-
ton Of the new war tax bill under con-
sideration by Congress.
Taxed All They VIII Bear
Beverages are to be taxed in the new
law to the greatest extent to which they
will produce revenue, the ways and
Means Committee says in its report. To
tax them still more heavily would al
most prohibit their sale and result in
but a small return.
The tax on beverages as whole is TO
be increased by about l2b per cent,
so as to raise 37,e0o,0o0 per year
under the new bill. as compared with
approximately s5o0.Oo0,00O being oh
tained from them at present.
The tax on whiskey for beverage pur-
poses, for instance. Is to be increased
from $500 per gallon to sS. and in the
case of whisky used for manufacturing
purposes from s2.2O to $4.40 per gallon.
The tax on other beverages Is to be in
creased to about the same degree.
Wines. brandies, liquors, cordials, ver-
muth. etc. are to be taxed at double
the present rates.
