John McClave, former Police Commls-
sioner, came back with only ono leg,
but smiled when he told his part in
the war
Saved by Australians Blood
'I left the leg on the Hindcnbure
line, but it was worth it. We made tho
Germans look sick. We started on Sep
tember 26 and fought night and day
for three lays until we broke that line
I was busy cutting the wires Of the
inc when high explosive shell broke
ard tore off one leg and shattered the
other.
"Chauncey Entrett. of Ogdensburg
ran up to me with a stretcher to carry
me back to our lines, when another
she'll fell and took off one of his legs
We had just made four Huns prisoner
and we made chem carry US both to
the first aid station. The doctors took
look at my leg and said unless some
one would volunteer for blood trans
fusion | might cash in.
"Private p. J. Chinook, of the 18th
Australian Ambulance Corps, came up
and offered himself. They took pint
and half Of blood from his veins"
The Cretic also brought home forty
four officers and 1,557 men Of the 55th

positions of the American and Rus
sian armies at Ust Dadenga, Gil the
Waga River, thirty miles south of
Shenkursk. They also arc showing
considerable activity west of Shen-
Ilursk on tho Tania River.
It has been impossible to determine
whether the attack will develop on a
greater scale. The enemy has mob

Vlsk and apparently is prepared for a
general offensive liz the Shenkursll
sector
On Sunday the enemy, under cover

outposts withdrew, but the Bolshevik
attack on the main positions was re-
pulsed with heavy loss.
American Airman Bombs Fee
There has been no infantry action
since, though there has been con

American artillery is vigorously re-
plying.
Yesterday. flying in temperature OF
16 degrees below zero, one American
airplane bombed the enemy and Sc

The fighting is going on in cold. clear
weather, but the temperature is so low
that it is difficult for the infantrymen

The Bolsheviki also are sheling the

The additionalstax levied ON persons
selling tickets at an advance on the
regular price is a new feature Of the
pending bill--there being nothing to
correspond to it in the present law
and is designed to add to the troubles
Of ticket spectators.
The admissions tax does not apply to
entertainments for the exclusive ben
eft of religious, educational or char
table institutions, societies for the
prevention of cruelty to children and
animals, or to organizations conducted
for the sole purpose of maintaining
symphony orchestras and receiving sub
stantial support from voluntary contri-
buttons, or TO the benefit of persons in
the military or naval forces, or to agri-
cultural fairs where none of the profits
are distributed to stockholders or mem
bers.
Club dues taxes do not apply unless
the dues Or fees are more than $40, and
fraternal societies operating under the
lodge system are not counted as clubs.
Excess Profits Taken Up
Having got rid of the theatrical
hornets nest, the conferrees turned
their attention to the excess profits
title again. They agreed On number
OF technical and clerical amendments
adopted by the Senate, but without
reaching any final agreement on the
tax rates and relief measures. 1t is
promise has been so far outlined by the
conversations that the Treasury ex-
perts probably will be able to draft
compromise paragraphs that will be
accepted. 1t is possible THAT these
compromises viii be submitted and ac-
cepted to morrow.

Wilson's Speech in New York
In September Is Recalled

President Wilson in an address ir
New York on September 81 last had de-
clared:
ut is a popularity of this great
war that while statesmen have
seemed to cast about for defini-
tions of their purpose and have
sometimes seemed to shift their
ground and their point of view, the
thought Of the mass of men, whom
statesmen are supposed to instruct
and lead, has grown more and more
unclouded and more and more certain
of what they are fighting for.
National purposes have fallen
more and more into the background
and the common purpose of enlight-
ened mankind has taken their place
Counsels of plain men have become
on all hands more simple and
straightforward and more unified
than counsels of sophisticated men of
affairs, who still retain the impress
sion that they are playing a game of
power and playing for high stakes"

Private Contests First
Kept From the Public

So far as these counsels of plain
men have found expression they as
suredly have declared against settle
ments of their vital interests in the
dark by statesmen assuming to repre-
sent them. and against the bartering
away of their first claims without ade-
Quatc return. Under ordinary condi-
tions it may be conceded readily that
better progress will be made if the
agents of the respective principles in
volved negotiate in private under con-
ditions which permit a give and take
without loss Of prestige and before the
principals can accurately understand
the significance of the provisions pro-
posed or agreed upon in their relation
to the entire agreement.
But the present situation is unique
and, therefore, outside all ordinary
rules governing treaty negotiations.
A great war into which every great
power and many small powers have
been drawn has come to an end and
thc -bclligerents are meeting to de-
terminc the conditions of peace they
shall impose upon the vanquished.
They propose more; they propose to
reorganize the world so as to reduce
to minimum the possibilities of re-
newed war.

New Yori; Tribune
Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-As the
sixth mail bag Of theatre tax protests
arrived at the Senate Finance Commit
tee rooms this morning, and Senators
came vainly begging the clerks OF the
Finance Committee to relieve them of
the protesting mail pilinG up in their
Offices. the revenue bill confcrrees sur
rendered. Chairman Kitchin of the
House Ways and Means Committee and
Representative Fordney, ranking Re-
publican member of that committee,
went down with colors flying. All the
rest stsyed up with their colors down.
Senator Simmons led the surrender.
In consequence it is now settled
for good and all that the tax on the
atrical admissions will be 10 per cent,
which is just what it is at present.
Cabaret admissions. however. will have
TO stand Is per cent, as against 10 per
cent at present. So also with club
dues.
Higher Tax for Spectators
The 10 per cent tax payable by the
purchaser applies only to tickets sold
at regular prices. Ticket spectators
will pay an additional tax of 10 per cent
en- the amount added by them up to
50 cents of such excess, and so per
cent of the whole excess charge ii it
exceeds 90 cents. In cases where
the theatre itself, or any of its officers
o. employees, sells tickets above the
regular prices the tax is SO per cent of
the excess. to be paid by the person
selling the tickets.
The cabaret and club dues tax is in
the nature of a compromise, being so
per cent more than the Senate and the
present Law have it. The House rates
we're 20 per cent. A cabaret admission
is assumed to be 20 per cent of the
amount the patron pays for refresh
ments while there.

La pOIiCia, los reporters, Jesds Gomez y nOsohos

No esperabamos tener que mezclar-
nos en- el asunto que durante los ulti-
mos dias ha preocupado la opinion del
pals elaborada por las mrltiples leyen
das presentadas por el reporterislno y
las continues maniobras policiacas con
motive de la fuga de un hombre a
quien la prensa y la policia han dado
todos los relieves y toda la celebridad
que envidiaria el mas famoso lie los

las mas inverosimiles escenas que pue-

con nombres diferentes en- las peliculas.
Pero parace que para justificsrse la
incompetence de ciertos funcicnarios
o para justifcar la inefcacia de los es-
fuerzos hechos hasta ahora para su
captura, hay la consigna de mortifcsr
a la clase trabajadora de Bayamcn v
muy especialmente al elements taba-

De la misma manera declaramos que

Cotton Goods

New York, June 14.-Prices for fin-
 ished cotton goods have steadily ap-
 preciated during the past week and
 some clothes are now higher than the government war time fixed price levels.
 Wide sheetings have advanced to a
 basis of 80 cents for 104 goods. Sc
 above the government price. Some
 dress ginghams are selling at the gov
 ernment price. Staple ginghams have been advanced 31s cents to 21 cents.
 Standard 4x4, 64x60 perca1es have been
 advanced to 21 cents for lights and 25
 cents for darks. Denims are up 1 h
 cents a yard. Cotton flannels have ad-
 vanced in some instances cents a
 yard. Print cloths have recovered the
 losses sustained in the first part of the
 month following second hand realizin g
 sales. The demand for merchandise is not as keen as 1t has been owing to
 the knowledge on the part of buyers that cloths are scarce for immediate shipment and higher prices will not im- prove the immediate supply.
 Fine goods mills are getting into running order again after the closing of three weeks strike. Cotton yarns have been advancing steadily and spinners are well supplied with busi- ness. Knitters of cotton goods have been selling more easily at highest prices Quotations on cloths are as fol- | lows: Print cloths, 2S-inch, 64x64, 11c; 64x6os, 10Ac 3sh inch, 64x64s, 16kc; brown sheetings, southern standards 22G 23c; denims, 220, southern indigo 1 soc; tickings. oz.. s3c; prints, 16c; staple ginghams, 21c; dress ginghams 21@23c.

FRESH UPTURNS IN CORN VALUE Widespread Belief Among Traders That Crop Situa-
 tion Less Hopeful
By Associated Press


 Chicago, June IA-Attention to unpron- ising aspects of the crop outlook did much to bring about fresh apturns In the value of corn The market closed firm ss to 1Hc net higher with July 173A to 17s1k and September 1667s to 16s1A, Oats finished off to like advance. and provis- ions varying from 40 cents decline to a rise of 20 cents.
 Belief appeared widespread among corn traders thaN the crop situation as a whole was distinctly less hopeful than had recently been expected. In particular it was said too plentiful moisture had made replanting necessary on large scale, especially as to bottom land. With a consequent big volume of buying or ders coming into the pit through com mission houses and with receipts here dwindling, it seemed impossible to check bullish sentiment. At times profit taking sales became heavy, and the market wea- kened temporarily but in every case quick rallies ensued. Eagerness to buy re- ceived added impetus from continued steep ascent of quotations on hogs. / Dealing in oats were mainly of a local character. One of the favorite opera tions was to buy July and sell Septem- Der.
 After reaching a new high price record for lard, the provision market showed lack of support. Selling however, was not aggressive.
