U. s. TO KEEP ITS
SURPLUS MOTORS
Army Will Transfer Cars to
Other Branches-Few to
Be Sold.

The National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce, Inc, announced yesterday
that the War Department had author
lied publication of the following:
1.-THE Director of Sales has approved
the transfer OF the entire present sur
plus of serviceable motor equipment
neld by the army in the United States
to other Government departments.
by the appropriation act of July o,
1918, authorization was given for the
transfer of surplus motor equipment to
the Post Office Department, and the
Act of February 2s, 1919, embraced
similar authorization for the transfer
OF any part OF this surplus stock to the
Department of Agriculture. BY the
Act of March 8, 1919, the Secretary Of
War was directed to transfer surplus
motor equipment to the Public Health
Service.
The transfer disposed of approx
imately $500 vehicles. including $500
motor cycles. $500 passenger cars and
about $4,000 trucks. The Post Office
Department will receive 10000 of these
vehicles; She Public Health Service
1895, and the Bureau of Public Roads.
Department Of Agriculture. 1888.
Because of their special design or
condition. very limited number of pas
senger cars and trucks included in the
surplus stock have already been found
to be unserviceable for Government use.
These and such others as may later
be culled out for similar cause in the
course OF the inspection, which will
be made incident to the transfer to the
other Government agencies. will be sold
at public auction at the various camps
and storage yards at which they have
been collected, after the sales have been
duly advertised through the press.
Erroneous reports to the effect that
the War Department would offer to the
public large stock OF motor equipment.
including new passenger automobiles,
have been widely circulated. 1t was
never the intention OF the War Depart
ment. in view OF above mentioned acts of
Congress- so to dispose of its motor
vehicles"

''They talk to me just as plainly as

"One poor old tire came over the
counter the other day with the walls
of the casing scored and scraped and
the fabric torn and frayed and
broken away from the rubber. The
beads also were badly damaged.
The owner shook his head as
though the tire had not been true to
him. and told at some length Of his
alleged troubles. And all the time
he talked l could hear the tire in
a weak voice, which never reached
the owner. saying to me:
~ was punctured several miles

the way here on the rim. I was
squeezed between the rim and the
ground. You think I look badly OUT

inner tube are adhering to my fab

piled that he had been pretty lucky
with me and that he thought the luck
would continue But you see II

Peace itself, the peace of the word,
is delayed until ratification comes.
And any amendment postpones peace.
Germany and England alone Of the
principal powers have ratified. The
other principles necessarily await our
action, influential and powerful as we
are today in the worlds affairs. Tho
ravages of war on more than a score
of fighting fronts are continued by
any needless delay. Let the senate
give the world peace by ratification
without amendment.
Even the amendment for which most
can be said, the provision In regard to
Shantung, will secure nothing which
cannot be gained II China, backed by
the powerful advocacy Of the United
State addresses itself to the machin-
cry for righting international wrongs
and meeting just claims created byi
The league between nations. China,
after eighty years Of oppressive trsa-
ties and despoiled rights, by which all
the great powers have profited direct

removal Of the oppressive economic IN
reference of stronger nations whose
citizens are within her gates, protest

be remembered that the clause regard
ing Shantung was made upon the
statement by Japan that she will rs'
turn the territory to China and, there
fore, upon that condition, compliance
with which promise the league can
require.
The peace Of the present and the
Righteousness Of the future can b
best secured by the ratification Of the
covenant and treaty without amend
ment. Let the senate take no acton
that will give any party to the treaty,

That there will be no general extern.

Daniel c. Roper, Commissioner Inter-
nal Revenue The announcement was
made today by Collector Hamilton inn
mediately following the approval BY

the conferees on the new Revenue
Bill.

me first payment of the Income and
Excess Profits Taxes for 1918 was
planned for that date, to meet this
huge obligation.
The American people have proven
that there is no emergency too great
to be met and solved by cooperation.
This present situation is another en-
Urgency which can be overcome by
cooperative effort. The Bureau ex-
tends its every force toward this end,
and am relying upon the people to
meet the situation whole heartedly.
THE Internal Revenue Bureau
must carry out the programme pre-
scribed in the new law, which re-
quires al returns for 1918 to be filed
on or before March 18th, 1919, and re-
quires the first quarterly payment or
the entire payment to be made on or
before that date.
Every taxpayer who can possibly
do so is urged to make full payment
of his income tax on or before March
10. The quarterly payment method is
intended for taxpayers whose financ-
ing of the tax at one time would tend
to upset local financial conditions.
1.-THE approval of the report of the
conferees by the Senate and House of
Representatives brings the new Rev.
enue Bill to the point where It may be
assumed to be law. The Internal Rev
enue Bureau has been making prep
| arations to collect the taxes which 1t
provides, and is now putting all of its
efforts into aid the taxpayers to full
fill the obligations imposed.
