WOULD LINK EAST AND WEST
Proposal to Make the American Expes
dictionary Force in China Prac-
ticalIy a Student Army.

Under the agreement entered into
between the powers and China follow
Ing the Boxer uprising in 1900, the
United States government was per-
mitted to keep an expeditionary force
Of about 1000 men in China, says Mil
lard'S Review. This force is stationed
at Tientsin and Pekin, about 1900 men
being stationed at the former place
and the rest stationed as a legation
guard in Pekin. It has now been pro-
posed to the American government at
Washington that the regular army
troops stationed at Tientsin be re-
called to America for service in France
and their places taken by contingent
of the same number of men who are
now in training in America at the vari"
Gus environments under the provisions
Of the selective draft. The idea orig
mated with Maj. Arthur Bassett, judge
advocate of the army contingent at
TientSin, and formerly United States
district attorney of China. Under the
plan suggested by Major Bassett the
contingent of regular army troops now
in China should be returned to Ameri-
ca and sent to France, as the men de-
sire, and in their place the United
States government should send out
1900 men specially selected from the
standpoint of education and training,
who would be available upon their re-
tirement from service in China to en-
gage in trade or other activities in
China and the far East. Major Bas-
sett would select the new men for Serv-
ice in China largely from the great
group of college graduates and stu
dents who have been drafted for Serv-
ice in France. He would bring these
men to China and, in addition to their
regular army drill, he would have them
instructed in the Chinese language
and in the customs. history and tradi-
lions Of the country; and at stated In
tervals he would have them make trips
into all parts of China for study and
investigation. In short, these 1,5OO
men would receive a three years col
lege course on China, so that upon
their retirement from the service they
would be at liberty to engage in trade,

activity they desired in the far East,
or if they desired to return home they
would possess information regarding
China that would be of the highest
value to China. The plan has been ap-
proved by the American chamber OF
commerce and other organizations In
China and has been commended to the
state and war departments at Wash
ington. 1t is also certain that this
plan Of a citizens student army In
China would be welcomed by China
for it would be of the greatest possible
assistance in bringing about a better
understanding and mutual interest De-
tween East and West, something very
necessary If the future peace OF the
world is to be maintained.

AMAzES LONDON PRESS
Writers Are Astonished at Initial
Success of Drive.
Military Critics Assert Germans VIII
Make Desperate Effort to Re-
trieve Losses.

London, Aug. 12.-In the comment
of the papers on the continued advance
of the Anglo-French forces in the
Somme region, surprise is notably
mingled with qualification.
No offensive in which the British
army has participated, it is remarked,
ever made so much progress on the
opening day.
The employment of large number
of light, fast tanks-the "Whippets"
with strong forces of cavalry, is re-
garded as giving entry to a new fea-
ture of battle.
The military correspondent of the
Times, referring to the remarkable
speed developed by the Whippets in
keeping pace with the cavalry forsees
a future when every heavy infantry
swarms of airmen will take the place
of the cavalry and light infantry.
The extraordinary employment of
aircraft in pursuit of the enemy is
also remarked. The services the air.
craft men rendered obviously was Of
the utmost military value, which, it is
hoped, is not out Of proportion to the
losses.
Nowhere is any attempt made to dis
guise the fact that great German
effort to retrieve the losses is In
evitable.
"The enemy's difficulty, is des-
perate," says the Daily Telegraph,
"and will be desperately met. It must
be assumed that a struggle of the
deadliest character will ensue as soon
as the necessary troops can be brought
to meet our advance"

PEACE MOVE PROBABLE
Indirect Overtures Are Looked
For From Central Powers.
Allies VIII Ignore Proposals and Re-
sort to More Vigorous Military
Moves.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Hints reach
ing the state department from vari-
GUS sources of German peace Of
fensive" and evidences of indirect and
cautious feelers already put out led
to an authoritative statement that Gen
eral March correctly set forth the at
titude of the American government
when he said in a conference with
newspaper men that now was the
time for greater efforts at the battle
front.
Officials here are prepared for the
resumption of efforts at an inconclu-
sive peace, based on the same Ger
man plan, as practiced at Brest-
Litovsk upon the Russians, Of getting
the enemy's representatives to attend
conference without any preceding
binding agreement upon the underly-
ing principles that must govern the
framing of any peace treaty.
The central powers now, officials be-
lieve, will put forward their feelers
through neutral channels to avoid a
fiat and uncompromising refusal.

Paws to Keep a Toad.

The toad is useful because of its
Aiet. No less than eighty-three species
of insects, mostly injurious, have been
proved to enter into it's dietary. In
his "Civic Biology George w. Hunter
saws: "A toad has been observed to
snap up 1913 flies in half an hour. Thus
at low estimate it could easily de-
stroy a thousand insects during day,
and do an immense service to the gar
den during the summer. 1t has been
estimated by Kirkland that a single
toad may, on account Of the cFtworrns
which it kills, be worth $19.88 each
season it lives, if the damage done
by each cutworm be estimated at only
one cent. Toads also feed upon slugs
and other garden pests. Popular

WAYS and Means Committee of
House Strike Snags in
Framing Revenue Bill.
MAY INCREASE TARIFF
Higher Customs Duties to Produce
$4oo,00o,ooo Is Advocated by Sew
eraI Members as One Solution
of Problem.

Washington, Aug. 12.-In the fran
ing of the tentative draft of the rev.
enue bill the house ways and means
committee is an even $1,000,000, 900
short of it's $4,000, 100000 goal after
including all schedules so far tenta-
lively adopted and the whisky and
beer taxes, and the luxury schedule,
which falls very far short of the
$2,000,OO0,O0 allotted it, and held until
the last.
The committee, in what it plans to
be its final week of framing the meas
ure, will be forced to devise means to
make up the $1,000,000,000.
Committee Asks Rise.
Chairman Kitchin of the committee
expects to confer with Secretary Nc
Adoo before the bill is given it's final
approval, and differences between the
treasury and the committee regarding
the excess profits tax are expected to
be Strengthened out. The treasury de-
sires excess profits rates in the pres
ent law to stand, while the committee
has tentatively raised them.
Sugar Tax Proposed.
There was renewed talk among
committee members of the feasibility
of gross sales tax. There also was
talk of an excise tax on tea, coffee
and sugar. A tax of cents a pound
on coffee and sugar and 10 or Is cents
pound on tea, it was stated, would
produce between $500, 100000 and $780,
100000.
Some members urged resort to
the tariff, saying an increase in GUS
toms duties to produce 100000 900
should be adopted.
Liquor Tax Urged.
The whisky and beer tax practically
has been agreed on, but the rates are
being withheld by the committee until
the last moment. These taxes probab.
ly will raise $810,OO0,00O and the soft
drinks $30,G00,00O. There is still, how.
ever, lowering over the schedule the
possibility of prohibition legislation
that would wipe out revenue from
liquors.
