Toxic, Sunday. Aug. 8 (by the AS
sociated Press) The violence of the
food riots and the rapidity with which
they spread have astonished the Jap
anese and have convinced them
though far removed from the center
of the war; that they cannot escape
Its consequences nor remain UNI
touched by the world movements
which the war has set in motion. No
such disturbances have convulsed the
nation since the days of the restora-
| ton.
The movement appears TO be en-
| tirely economic and social and has
no political aspect except as 1t is di~
rected 'against the Japanese ministry
| From the protest against the pro-
| hbitive price of rice, anti wealth
demonstrations have developed. The
residence of a number of millionaires
were burned and immense damage
was done to the property of merch-
ants.
Not a single instance of anti-foreign
manifestation has been reported and
1.-THE movement has been marked by
| impressive demonstrations of loyalty
to the imperial dynasty
Anarchists elements frequently led
| the mons, Dut tneFe mas Deen no evil
dence of the BoIsheviki tendencies
such as has prevailed in Russia.
The newspa pers of Osaka condemn
the ministry for its failure to prevent
| the unprecedented outbreaks and the
resignation of the, cabinet is de-
manded.
The, ring leaders of the rioting at
Kobe who, flourishing their swords
| led the mob, were killed on the spot.
| A large number of persons are re-
ported to have been wounded during
the disturbances throughout the em-
lpre. Seventy policemen are said to
have been injured at Nazeria alone.
The mobs often were armed with re-
volvers, swords, daggers and clubs.
Most of the arrests were made by
detectives who mingled with the
crowds chalking cross on the backs
Of the ring leaders and then captur-
ling them when the riots We're over.

Drastic Measures Are to Be
Taken With Those Who
Speak of a Revolution in
Germany Following War,


British Headquarters in France
Aug. Il (by the Associated Press1 Ill
An order issued by German military
commander and which is more illum-
mating than anything that has come
out of Germany in many moths saws
II has come to my knowledge through
letter addressed to the royal Prus-
sldh ministry OF war that men on
leaVe have spoken publicly of a rev.
oIutloh Whlch Is TO break out after the
war.
y wish to impress all superior Of
llcers who happen to oyerhear such
Objectionable talk or who hear OF II
through others that they must deal
with II at once and without hesitation.
The home authorities and the direct
or of military railways have been re-
quetsed to take corresponding meas
ures."
"A soldier said to have come from
the Industrial region of Rhenish West
phalia, declared in train that i'm
his home district men were going
TO leave, taking weapons with them
for the aforesaid object and that it
was easy to take home German or
captured reyolvers as well as hand
grenades separated into two parts.
Search Clothing of all Men.
II declare that the clothing of men
going on leave be searched as test
cases before their departure 1t will
be impossible to carry this out at the
baths and dressing stations"
Another order just completed, bear
ing the signature OF the chief of staff
of the forty-frst infantry division re-
cites that courts martial Lave had an
increasing number of cases where
subordinates emphatically refused to
accompany their units into the line
and where the superior officers have
neglected to enforce ohendience by
failing to compel the towards to go
into the front line" Obedience in this
respect, the order said must be en-
forced even though necessary to re-
sort to the use of arms.
II is right, the order said, even to
so to the length of shooting a man
as an extreme necessity.
Another order deals with the in
vestigation into case where Ger
man nirplane was shot down. prob
ably in mistake by German troops
and the occupants secretly buried.
| "Such procedure" the order said, ''is
unworthy of the German army"
Officers Are Critisiscd
In still another document, General
Ludendorff says there are constant
reports of German officers on leave
voicing utterances that are calculated
| to awaken feelings of doubt as TO
| German preparedness for battle. He
mentions an officer in Berlin who said
that further offensives were impos-
sible on the western front because OF
the shortage of horses and oats. Cen
eral Ludendorff warns officers against
spreading unfavorable rumors. He
declares that 1t is remarkable that
they never bring encouraging news
home from the front and adds that II
| Is better to color the situation with
rosy hue than with black paint"

Rates on Excess Profits the
Income Tax Schedule, and
a Few Minor Details Remain
to Be ThraShed Out,
COMMITTEE ADI0URNS
UNTIL NEXT SATURDAY
In the Meantime Chairman
Kitchin and Treasury De-
partment Officials Will Put
Matters Into Final Shape,

tBf MORNING JcuHNsL SPECIAL LEASED NIRgl
Washington, Aug. 21.-The new
revenue bill was practically complete
tonight except for the excess profits
rates which will apply to certain large
corporations, the income tax normal
rates so far as affected by the three
percent differential against unearned
incomes, and some administrative pro-
visions and minor details. The house
ways and means committee adjourned
until Saturday, Chairman Kitchin
and treasury department experts will
work out matters to be put into final
shape by the committee.
"The committee will decide between
two propositions for the excess prof
its tax" said Chairman Kitchn to-
night, "first an eight percent deduc-
tion in addition to the $4,000 specific
exemption, with a 80 percent tax on
profits between 5 and 90 percent and
20 percent tax on profits above 20 per-
cent, and second, the same exemption
and deduction, with 10 percent tax on
profits between and 20 percent and
20 percent tax on profits exceeding 20
percent. The treasury department has
objected to any increase over the exist
ing law
Fiat 10 Percent Deduction.
"The committee decided on flat
10 percent deduction as a minimum
on war profits. The proportion of eX-
cess profits and war profits taxes will
remain the same. that is 90 percent Of
business will fall under the war prof
it's tax. The effect of the two propo-
sitions for excess profits will be al
most tho same; either would produce
between $200,000,000 and $500 000,-
900 more than under the rates of the
existing excess profits law which the
treasury wants unchanged. If there
was no alternative war profits tax,
this excess profits plan would produce
$500. O00, 900 or 5000, 900, 600 more
than. the present excess profits law
Tax on Pre-War Earnings.
"The committee decided on flat
10 percent minimum deduction for
pre-war earnings in computing the
war profits tax A provision affect
ing corporations with swollen profits,
or profits tax was adopted. This pro-
vision directs that any corporation
whose capital exceeds $1.000,000 shall
paw a tax of at least 10 percent of its
net income as excess profits. To take
care of the smaller corporations, the
committee has adopted a Elimination
that excess profits or war profits tax
on corporations whose capital does
not exceed $25,00O shall in no case
exceed 35 percent of it's total net in
come. on corporations not exceeding
$4,000 capitalization. this maximum
shall be 40 percent of net income"
Chairman Kitchin estimated that
the excess profits and war profits tax
will raise approximately $S,000,OO0, 600
based on the year 1915
The committee has retained the def
inition of invested capital practically
the same as in the existing law Char
man kitchin said. The treasury is
working out a provision for the diff
ferential against unearned incomes.

ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN


washington, Aug. 2l.-~NaNN de-
partment officials tonight confidently
awaited u wireless dispatch telling Of
the capture or destruction of the
rawltr Triumph. which was seized by
o German submarine yesterday and
armed for raiding expedition against
the defenselcss fleet of fishing smacks
operating O nthe Grand Banks.
The department, through Admiral
Benson, acting secretary requested
newspapers to make no mention of the
type of craft being employed in the
hunt, It was said that these are mum

eventful apprehension Of the convert

less the enemy crew destroys the ship

Officials here expressed the belief
tonight that the German commander
realized the utter hopelessness of his

Haig Makes Splendid Gains.
Farther to the north between AL
bert and Arras. Field Marshal Haie
has followed up his successes of pre-
Vious days by q new offensive over
front of ten miles and driven for
ward his troops for splendid gains
over the entire line capturing a num-
Der Of villages taking guns and in
fHcting heavy casualties.
Still farther north, in the famous
Lys sector, general eastward ad-
vance on n front of more than four
miles has been made by the British,
who have brought their positions an-
lreciably nearar the old 1915 battle
limo running east or Armentieres.
Numerous additional villages have
! been liberated by the French north
west Of SolsSons and positions have
been captured on both sides of the
Disc river which seemingly make
Noyon untenable. That town is out
flanked on the southeast and dom
mated by the French guns from the
south and west. On the south the
French are standing in Sempigny, q
mile and half distant while on the
west they have captured the town Of
l.assigny the key position to Noyoh
an dthe plains to the north.
French Dominate Railway,
With the latest advances by the
French east of the Disc there has
come under the range of General
Mangin's guns the broad guage rail-
way line leading from Noyon east
ward 10 Lafere-the sole remaining
line except for two narrow guage
roads, over which the enemy may
transport his men and supplies be-
yond the range OF the Frech artillery.
At last accounts Hag was still
pressing forward on the heels of the
Germans between Albert and Arras,
with tanks innumerable clearing the
way. The Arras- Albert railway al
ready has been crossed by the British
east of Bois Lieux-St. Marc and Mer-
oantel. and south of these towns the
new line has been pressed eastward.
on the Lys salient the Germans
have delivered a violent counter at
tack in an endeavor TO recoup In part
the losses they have sustained.
Their efforts were fruitless, for the
British have pushed back the enemy
beyond his points of departure.
