the basis Of his determined stand for
the bill now, rather than yield to the
opportunities of Congressman anxious
not to be embarrassed in their election
campaigns by passing the revenue bill
virtually during their campaigns.
What they have said to Mr.. AcAdoo
and to many Senators and Representa-
tives as WE'LL is that they will be
greatly at sea as to how far they can
help the Liberty Loan drive next fall if
they do not know beforehand just how
much Of their profits for the present
calendar year they will be compelled to
pay out in taxes.
1t is generally conceded that the bulk
OF the additional taxes, which probably
will amount to not less than $3,0O0,0O0,
900, will be levied on the profits of cor
porations and individual incomes. The
taxes imposed by the new bill, no mat
ter when it is written, will be payable
in June, 1919, and will be on the in
comes or profits of the calendar year of
1918. Men of large incomes or at the
head of corporations with large profits
actually are spending their incomes or
profits without knowing what part of
them the government may force them
to pay into the Treasury as taxes.
Many business men have represented
w tIl. X4C11QOO ClldL IL ClcY knew, IN
several months, just what taxes they
would have to pay out of this years
incomes and profits, they would also
know exactly how much of those in
comes and profits they could put into
Liberty bonds, and how much they
would have to retain for taxes the fol-
lowing June. If the plan desired by the
Congressional leaders, Of having a spe-
cial session of Congress after election
to frame the bill is followed they point
out that the next Liberty loan cam
paign will be concluded before the
slightest idea is given the business
going to be. Not knowing, the best
policy would be to play as safe as
possible, which would have a blight
ing effect Oh the Liberty drive.
While this is the potent argument
the business men are Just as interest
ed, and are bringing pressure to bear
on members, for their more selfish in
terest. That is. that they personally
want to know what Is to be done to
them in the way of taxation. They
want to get out of the field of rumor
and surmise and alleged advance in
formation' as quickly as possible and
knowledge afforded by the text of the
law enacted and the Treasury regula-
tions regarding it.
This argument also has much weight
with Mr.. McAdoo, though it is not as
strong, of course, as the obvious effect
a policy Of delay would have on the
sale of Liberty bonds. But Mr.. Nc
Adoo has pointed out to the Senator's
and members of the House with whom
ne has conferred the difficulty of max
ing plans to collect the taxes and the
advantage it would be to the Treasury
Department to have as much time as
possible between the enactment of the
law and the actual collection.

Urge Early Action

By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, May 25.--While po-
litical leaders have been playing hide
and seek and the old American game Of
"now YOU see it and now you don't"
with the question of whether there
would be revenue bill at this session
of Congress, "Big Business" has been
clam oring steadily for immediate legis-
lation.
Big Business is not entirely altruistic
in this. The pressure the men at, the
head of big corporations have been
bringing to bear on Washington with q
view to getting the new tax bill on the
statute books as quickly as possible Is
Ia merely 4 question of wanting to know
where they stand, and how much they
viii have to pay. as quickly as possible.
Their representations. it is under

WITH AMERICAN FORCES IN
PICARDY, May 15.--All the interest on
this front to-day centred in the air.
From the moment the sun rose into an
almost cloudless sky, the artillery, in
fantry and every other fighting unit
suspended operations to watch the most
spirited air battles ever seen in the
Montdidier sector.
At daybreak two long lines of sau-
sage balloons assembled slowly and then
hung lazily in the air. One line was
plainly distinct behind the curve of
distance hung another line Of the ever
watchful enemy bags, describing the
same general curve.
These two hostile lines Of balloons
were watching every move on the
roads, every whisp of smoke from the
brig guns. The result was there was
little traffic and practically no Smelling.
planes Fighting Continuously
What took place above, over, under.
between and around the sausage bal
looms was air wAr as it was prophesied
long ago. French and German planes
were fighting continuously. The usual
rumble Of guns and shells on the
ground. where all was not quiet, was
replaced by the almost continuous dull
booms made by the anti-aircraft shells
which exploded around the machines of
both nations.
The white puffs from the French
arches and the black ones that came
from the German planes made it pos
sible for those on the ground to iden-
tify the nationality Of the machines
far above them. Occasionally could be
heard the tat, tat, tat Of the machine

signal a battle was on. AS the sun

Ships Leaving u. S.
Limited TO Food for
OUTWARD Trip Only
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune

WASHINGTON, May 25-Stearaships
clearing from American ports will be
prevented from taking out of the coun-
try foods required for shipment to the
Allies and our army in Europe, by the
terms Of ruling promulgated by the
food administration to-day.
The regulation provides that steam
ships bound for Uruguay, Argentina,
Chile, India or Australia will be al
flour to maintain supplies for the
initial voyage. That FOR the return
trip must be bought in those countries.
No ship will be allowed to make
further wheat purchases in the United
States after it has obtained enough tor
this first outward bound voyage
Ships clearing for Brazil, Uruguay,
Argentina, Chile or Peru will be SINH
larly restricted in their purchases of
peel. pork, mutton, lamb, veal poultry,
lard and eggs.
These rulings apply not only to
cargo ships but to all vessels carrying
passengers, which are required to buy
IN foreign ports all supplies for the
round trip, If their refrigerating
capacity allows. In other words. more
is expected of refrigerator passenger
ships than OF freighters, the carrying
capacity OF which depends largely upon
Ice FOR the preservation of stores.
All ships operating on American
rivers or on the Great Lakes are sub
ject to regulations as administered by
the Federal Food Administrators of
the various states in which they touch.
Regulations effective on land are to be
effective on these vessels, both for mas
sengers and officers eating in the main
dining rooms. However. these regula-
tions will not supercede the standard
lied ships menus prepared several
months ago by the Food Administra-
ton, cooperating with the Depart
ment of Labor and representatives of
the leading seamen's labor organiza-
tions.

Barely SumcientWith Strict
Conservation to Last
Until Harvest
Warning From Hoover
Existing Regulations Probably
Will Be Continued During
the War, He Says
Especial Dispatch to The Tri5ame)


WASHINGTON, May 25.-The avail
able wheat stocks in the country
amounted to approximately 100000
bushels on May IL, according to esti-
mates made by officials of tae food adj
ministration. OF this amount 12,000,-
600 bushels were In country elevators,
100000 bushels in mills and 100000
bushels In terminal elevators. There
were about 100000 bushels remain
ing on the farms.
Eight million bushels additional were
in transit, but this quantity is not
counted in the available stocks. since
approximately this quantity must be in
transit at all ines to maintain a steady
flow of wheat TO the seaboard and the
consuming centres.
The estimated stocks, the Food Ad-
ministration states, will be adequate to
meet the needs of the Allies, our army
in Europe and the civilian population
servation regulations are strictly adj
hered to during the next two months.
The mills of the United States are
now converting 100000 bushels Of
wheat per month into -four. Half OF
this quantity, Or about 1000, 900 bar
rels of -four, is being shipped to the
Allies. This schedule can be main
tanned, Food Administration officials
believe, if there is no increase in do
mestic consumption.
Food Administrator Hoover to-day
stated that, notwithstanding the pros
pect Of record wheat crop this year,
the Food Administration was not plan
ming to rescind the existing conserva-
ton regulations. There may be some
modification of the substitute rules,
ne said, but the conservation pro-
gramme probably will be fixture for
the period of the war.
The reason for this, Mr. Hoover ex-
planned, is that it will be necessary to
stocks of wheat both here ard in Eu-
rome.
