SECURED WOOL PROVIDED
FOR ARMY AND NAVY NEEDS
Acting q. M. General Reports 1885,
OOO, 900 Pounds Available-Im-
portations to Meet Necessities,

For the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps the government for the year
ending June 80 next will require
266,000,O0O pounds of secured WOOL
all of which is available, according to
Brig. Gen. Wood, acting quartermas-
ter general. For semi-government
needs 17,500,OOO pounds additional
will be required, and to meet that
extraordinary demand some of the
product will be imported from Ar
gentina and Australia.
Gen. Wood said the total took into
account the amount the mills must
turn out in overcoat and uniform
cloth for men in the new draft. Be-
sides the wool in process of manu-
facture, tailors and stores have
stocked up six or eight months
ahead, he said, so no real shortage
would be expected under fifteen
months. The question whether new
stocks would be available when that
supply is exhausted depends on how
long the war lasts he added.
The general said that, while the
department might be pretty short for
a time on one or two articles, there
would be sufficient clothing for all
the new men called from the eighteen
to forty-five draft during the fall and
winter He estimated calls of g.
900, 900 between October 1 and next
July 1.
Gen. Wood said there were ample
stocks of clothing in France for the
men and that 100000 blankets would
be shipped this month.

Members of the House in resuming
debate today on the war revenue bill
pointed out what they regarded as
glaring inequalities in the great tax
measure, although most of those who
have been outspoken as to its pro-
visions announced they would vote
for it on final passage. Indications
were that general debate would close
tomorrow, in which event the bill will
be taken up Friday for consideration

yesterday were Representatives Hull
of Tennessee, democrat, author of the
present income tax law, and Long
worth of Ohio and Green of Iowa. re-
publican members Of the ways and
means committee.
Representative Caraway of Ar
kansas, democrat, attacked the pro-
posal made by some members in de-
bate that a tax be placed on cotton.
He said no protest against such
tax had come from cotton growers,
but declared that such legislation
would be Outrageous" The south.
he said, now is bearing it's share Of
the war cost.
At the Senate finance committee
hearings on the bill witnesses and
senators criticised the excess profits
rates. Effect of prohibition legisla-
tion on the nations revenue also was
brought up.
Representative Hull told the House
that the nations tax budget after
the war will be s4OOOOOO. 900 an
nually, and warned that little of this
can be made up by tariff rate in
creases. as suggested by some mem
bers. He urged consumption levies
on sugar, coffee, tea, silk and rubber.
Cannot Rely on Tariff.
Representative Hull said it is 'ut-
terly futile" to attempt to obtain. any
considerable revenues from tariff in
creases. at must be made clear" he
said. that we cannot later in normal
conditions expect a maximum customs
house levy of more than 500.0Oo,OOO,
while our after-war expenditures will
be near s4,O0O,0OO, 900"
In my opinion the largest possible
income tax levy should be made for

to fighting on the front lines, there

neer officers who direct the destines

the master hand which correlates and
co-ordinates the scattered tasks that
are being performed by the thousands
of men in Humphreys Belvoir, the
rifle range and the schools of this
training center for the Army engi-
neerS.
In addition to having the distinc-
tion of being the youngest divisional
adjutant, Maj. Harris is liked and
respected by all with whom he comes
in contact. whether they be officers.
enlisted men or mere civilians. He is
sincere and courteous to all-comers,
and deservedly has the reputation of
being just about the most genial man
in camp.

of one thing Pershing's crusaders
can be assured on their march to Ber-
lin in the near future. and that is
good music.
The thoroughness that has marked
training of other branches of the
service has been exended to the

march down 5th avenue in New York
or Pennsylvania avenue in the Capt.
tai city. after the boche has been
vanquished the music furnished by
their own bandsmen will attract as
much favorable attention as the rest
Of the column
Will Be Proud of Music.
To bring about a radical change in
band conditions among the overseas
forces there has been established a
school for musicians. Band units are
being enlarged and drilled as inten-
sively as any group of rockies, and it
is planned to lift the bandsmen to the
same degree of proficiency as musi-
clans that the combatant forces at
tain as fighters. The word has been
passed about that the men overseas
and the people at home will be proud
of music furnished by the regimental
bands in the United States forces.
The change all came about through
a visit of Walter Damrosch. famous
conductor of the New York Symphony
Orchestra. to France. He made the
trip ostensibly to recruit an orchestra
of fifty pieces in Paris. with a view
to touring the rest camps. debarka-
ton points and other places to enter
tain the soldiers. Transportation
space, he found, was lacking, and he
was compelled to organize a sta
tionary orchestra in Paris. giving two
concerts. one for soldiers on July 1S

Letter From Pershing.

Mr.. Damrosch then received a letter
from Gen. Pershing, calling the con-
ductor to the headquarters of the
American general to discuss means of
raising the standard of Army bands
and bandmasters. The conductor
visited Gen. Pershing. with the re-
suit that it was decided to improve
the bands in the United States Army.
He started his work by examining
about 200 band leaders with the
forces overseas.
