ASKS TAX RETURNS
TOFIND PROFITEERS.

Full publicity Of the income tax re-
turns of corporation and individual
producers and distributors of food
stuffs, to enable the Government to
single out all profiteers, is called for
in a resolution offered yesterday by
Senator Walsh of Montana
II the Walsh resolution is adopted
the proposed investigation Of the high
cost of living by joint Congressional
committee would include access to all
income returns with directions to an
mex in it's report the profits of all
persons or corporations who have had
contractural relations with the Gov
ernment since April 6, 1917.
While the Walsh resolution has
nothing to do with the Senate District
subcommittee now investigating proh-
teering in Washington, publicity of
income returns would prove of ines
timable value to that committee. The
resolution also calls for a list of all
the dollar-a-year men employed by
the Government to whom Government
contracts were issued. either as indi-
viduals or to concerns with which
they were connected, together with
the profits derived.
The resolution preamble sets forth
that publicity Of income returns is de-
manded by the public in order to stop
profiteering, so the people might know
who amassed fortunes when the Gov
ernment was under duress Of war.
Efforts to obtain consideration of the
Walsh measure were futile, however,
and it was tabled.

UNCLE Of CAR IS
ALIVE IN SWEDEN
Grand Duke Nicholas May Re-
VVe War to Put End to
Lenine'S Rule.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-Like a ghost
from the grave, one Of the most pic
turesQue figures OF the first three
years of the great war has again ap-
peared upon the worlds stage and
looms today as the man who may
revive the war in eastern Europe to
put an end to Lenine's rule in Russia.
He is none other than the Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicolaievitch, uncle OF
the late Gar. For more than two
years-ever since he was sent to the
Crimea by the Bolsheviki-he has
been living in hiding, during which
time he has been many times reported
killed. Today comes a dispatch from
Stockholm that he has arrived there
from London, to take part in a great
war council" to agree upon a plan
for a concerted offensive on Petro-
grad.
This Is the first hint that Grand
Duke Nicholas has been in London,
and IL Is presumed he came and went
in disguise. How he escaped from
the Crimea is a mystery. Recently
he was reported at an obscure village
near Genoa, Italy.
Grand Duke Nicholas Is still the
idol OF the Russian masses, and his
temperance in Russia, with the bat
tie cry of a savior would rally hun
dreds of thousands of volunteers
around his baner.
Down Lenine frst-let the future
take care of itself" Is the watchword
of the hour, and on that theory the
great war council at Stockhold Is
reported to be working. Gathered
there with the Grand Duke are Gen
eral Yudenitch, Premier Lianoziff, Of
the new nti-Bolshevist government
of northwest Russia, and Sherpadsky,
former hetman of the Ukraine.

Roosevelt as a Writer.

In an article on Theodore Roosevelt
in the Yale Review, Henry A. Beers
says of him as a writer:
'Mr. Roosevelt produced much ex-
cellent literature, but no masterpieces
like Lincoln's Gettysburg address and
second inaugural. Probably his
sketches of ranch life and of hunting
trips in three continents will be read
longest and will keep their freshness
after the public questions which he
discussed have lost interest and his
historical works have been in part re-
written. In these outdoor papers, be-
sides the thrilling adventure which
they-very modestly-record, there
are even passages of descriptive beau
ty and chapters of graphic narrative.
like the tale of the pursuit and cap
ture Of the three robbers who stole
the boats on the Missouri river which
belonged to the Roosevelt ranch"
