PENDLEToN KILLED FOUR
 FOXES IN ONE DAY

Four large red foxes that were displayed in front of the store of c. V. Pendleton on Broadway attract ed a large amout of attention on Sat urday. MT. Pendleton holds this years record for the number killed on one day as he bagged the four early Saturday morning. MT. Pendle- ton went out in the vicinity of Yantic and it wasn't many hours before he returned with the four pelts to his credit. Mir Pendleton did not have a dog with him to start the foxes but captured them unaided. But-lest some of those who participated in the Thanksgiving Day hunt may feel en- vious we will tip them off to a little secret. MT Pendleton's foxes were some that he bred from a pair that he caught last year and were on ex- hibition in his window some time ago.

PLAN SOME CHANGES
IN DAYLIGHT SAVING
Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion May Take Hand Before
Opening of Spring 1919.

Washington. d. C.-Present applica-
ton Of the daylight saving law, as It
affects localities. will probably be
changed in detail by the Interstate
Commerce commission before the 1919
spring advance touches American
now proceeding, find the hour advance
working satisfactorily. Examiners for
h commission have completed the
taking OF evidence on the subject In
eastern and mountain cities, but still
have to conclude hearings In the middle
west. At Ell Paso. Tex, June II, the
final hearings will be completed, and
after that formal reports to the COM
mission will be available.
While the duty Of prescribing the
limits OF the four time zones in the
United States fell to the commission,
as a temporary expedient It adopted
h d~emarkations of eastern, central,
mountain and Pacific time as made by
railroads, and fixed a fifth belt to gov
ern Alaska The examiners were sent
out to see whether changes in the rail-
road time limits would not convenience
business and social life IL adopted.
They have found to date a number Of
points, generally on the eastern edges
OF time belts, which already had sys-
TENS OF daylight saving by running on
the hours Of the belt adjacent to them.
A dual system of time Ia been found
In several places in the United States.
where railroad time" and town time"
have both been customarily recognized,
the latter being one hour faster than
h former. Some points have conttn-
ued the system. even under the general
time advance last spring, willis others
have adopted a single standard. Rul-
ings will perhaps affect these.
The law Is not compulsory. except for
persons doing business with the gov
eminent and railroads. out the s1mA.n-
ers are finding that compliance with It
Is almost universal. Specifically, the
law defines the hour zones across the
United States as centering respectively
upon the 18th. Goth. 105th and 120th
meridians west Of Greenwich, with bor-
ders equidistant between the meridians.
The commission exercised its power 10
set aside these standards, and adopted
the existing railroad zones. which are
only roughly similar to the legal ones,
In order not to confuse and disturb the
course OF life. In the main. 1t Is ex-
pected that the examiners will report
tho railroad zones suitable. though
changes In them will be made where
workability Of the law inc ease Of ap-
plication q be secured.

Washington, d. c., July 29.-Is the

to have to separate. himself from 10
per cent of his income and give 1t to
the government?
This is one of the hardest nuts the
ways and means committee has to
crack. 1t has already given h men,
bers of the committee some trouble
some hours and they admit 1t will give
them more before the bill is framed and
rassed.
The committee Is talking about maxi

comes 10 per cent, but there Is opposi-
ton to making this apply to the man
OF small income, such as one getting
so. 1000 or $4,000 or less.
Would Hit Everybody.
or course, the great body of heads
of families in the United States fall
under the list Of those getting small
incomes.
The committee and congress will
have to. consider the economic and 9TH
er effects of putting a 10 per cent
tax on the man of small means. This
would be hard enough at any time. but
It is much complicated by the high cost
of living and the widespread complaint

Means Hot Opposition.
Inquiry among members Of the ways
and means committee and in congress
circles today developed the fact that
there will be a fight over efforts to
apply a 10 per cent normal tax or ap-
proximately that all along the line. II
will be argued that the man who gets
$4,000 or $4,000 or less ought not have
to pay more than 8 per cent, which
would represent a substantial advance
of his present taxes. '
1t looked today as II one of the chief
controversies in relation to the reve-
nue. bill would center abou this prop
sosition. Some of the committee opin-
toned that they would probably find @
lot Of difficulty In making the tax IL

-dentally, there's a political side to the
question which cannot be entirely over

bone Of Strike. .

London, July 29.-Striking muntion
workers at a mass meeting In Coventry
today adopted resolutions hat they
would not return to work until the
embargo or skilled labor was removed.
London, July 2s.-Munitions strikers
began returning to work today. The
backbone of the strike seems broken
as the result Of the governments threat
to enforce CONSUMPTION and put the
idle into the army unless all were back
at their jobs by Monday. .
In Birmingham, especially, many re-
turned to the munitions plants. The
government estimated that there were
only about zoo, 900 still out In England
this morning and this number was
steadily dwindling. The government
claimed that earlier figures of the
number striking were exaggerated.
In Coventry the situation was un-
changed by Lloyd Georges ultimatum.

newspapers generally indorse the ulti-
matum. The strike is a bold defiance
of the government" declared the

port Of a large majority of the peo-

The Graphic said the governments
action would cause immense relief
throughout the nation. Denouncing men
who "wantonly hold up munitions to
our soldiers" the Chronicle declared
that sternest measures must be ex-
pected.
The Telegraph suggested that the
munitions workers stomach their
grievances. IF the men in the trenches
struck whenever they had a grievance,
what would happen to us?" this news
paper demanded. The Daily News
called Lloyd Georges decision the
gravest In the history Of English In

General FOch
Saving Yanks
For Knockout
BY J. w. T. MASON, 8
limited Press War Expert.

New York, July 2s.--General
Foch Is now holding his Ameri-
car units In the Aisne- Marine
combats. Very little scope is be-
ing given them for strong ag-
gressive fighting and the battle,
in fact, is dying down for the
most part, to artillery bonn
bardments.
General Foch knows the SUI
preme value Of the Americans
FOR bringing the war to a sue
cessful ending. He Is showing
he reckons them too highly to
permit them to be sacrificed In
exchange for territorial gains
that are not Of large strategic
importance. The time for
Americas prominent part In
the war has not yet come. The
Rhine cannot be reached with
the Aisne- Marine salient as a
starting point; and 1t Is only by
operations In the direction OF the
Rhine that decisive results can
be expected from the Americans.
The intensity Of the German e
distance between the Aisne and
the Marne Is providing a unique
opportunity for studying the
new characteristics Of Won Hin
denburg's defensive strategy.

GLASS ONE TO Be
USED UP BY FALL
Congress Expected to Speed Ex.
tension of Draft Age to Avoid
Calling Deferred
Glasses.
BY CARL o. GRoAT,
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


Washington, D. c., July 2s.-There is
1 possibility Of exhaustion Of draft
Class / before congress can finally act
10 extend draft ages. !.
Some states have wired, to- Provost
Marshal General Crowder that they are
on the verge Of drawing their last men
Of the first class. To rescue the situa-
ton 10 that 1t will not necessitate in
vasion OF deferred classes 1t Is likely
that a call for men who have turned n
will be issued before January I. 1919.
That, however, may not prevent inva-
sion of the second class unless congress
acts hastily upon extension of draft
ages when It reconvenes at the end OF
August
It is predicted that by Labor day the
last Of the fighting men now in Class /
will have been called. .
Meantime the war department Is
working on its program for extending
the draft age limits.
Chairman Dent Of the House commit
tee predicts that there will be a fight
In congress IL there it a too radical
sweep downward though he old the
United Press today that the House
will probably yield to anything "rea-
sonable." The House Is he most OPP
posed to the extension downward, but
1t Is likely hat 1t will not go to the
point Of attempting to thwart the
presidents wishes.
There Is some tendency to complain
because Secretary of War Baker de-
ferred action on the draft until con-
gress completes it's recess. Leaders
say that had he favored draft extern
sion earlier the possibilities OF the
present situation would have been
averted.
The need for men in the army Is
Illustrated by the order to restrict navy
and marine enlistments from the draft
for the next two months. Navy and
marine corps officials are disposed TO
be critical Of this decision though they
believe their requirements can be met
