Resent Gen. Woods Treatment.

Referring to Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, the letter read by the Massa-
chusetts representative said:
when Gen. Wood visited the front
he was treated more like a German
spy than an officer of the United
States. We have the word of several
colonies that know him we'll for this
He was ordered back from. his visit
here without being allowed to- visit
the Italian front or returning through
England, as he was invited to do by
Lloyd George.
Gen. Wood was the idol of the
Army. officers and men alike. and was
one of the most efficient officers. yet
he was kept in corner, all the time.
Who did it?
We can prove also that scores of
men were sacrificed because officers
in command were anxious for promo
tion," the letter also declared. I'VE
know of a National Guard colonel re-
lieyed of command after a successful
advance and sent back to the service
of supply because of jealousy"

CONFEREES AGREE
ON REVENUE BILL
War Measure to Raise Six
Billions Will Be Reported
Wednesday.

The war revenue bill. revised to
taxation this year, and four billion
dollars annually thereafter, assumed
final form late yesterday when the
Senate and House conferees reached
a complete agreement on the measure
1t will be presented TO the House
Wednesday,.
Minor Details Closed UP.
The conferees already had announc-
ed agreements on all tax rate adjust
ments. and yesterday was devoted to
comparatively minor provisions.
Among these was the tax on campaign
contributions. d Senate provision
which the House Friday voted to
reject and then afterward to accept
if modified to apply only TO future
ca mpaigns. The Senate conferees, it
was reported. yielded the amendment
and agreed to its elimination
The conference report and final re-
draft will be called up in the House
Friday with the expectation OF its
approval before adjournment that day.
1t will go to the Senate Saturday and
Chairman Simmons of the Senate
managers said last night its passa ge
was certain.
Presidents Absence Affects Date.
Absence of President Wilson. the
contarees stated, made doubtful the
exact date the new tax law would
become effective, but would not in
teffere with Treasury plans for collec-
ton Of the new taxes.
President Wilson probably will be
on the point of sailing when legisla-
five. action on the bill is concluded
Sena tor Simmons said that the en-
crossed copy probably would be held
here for his approval He then would
have ten days to consider it.
Agreement by the conferees paves
the way for final enactment of the
legislation which President Wilson
and former Secretary McAdoo asked
last May. The final draft, like both
House and Senate measures. provides
that of the gross levy war-excess
profits and income taxes shall bear
the heaviest burdens.

With Photographer at Wheel
Newly Formed Auxiliary
Finds Brush Blaze.

The newly formed ladies' auxiliary
to the volunteer fire department of
Clarendon. Va-that may not be the
exact title. but is sufficiently de-
criptiye-Thursday was thrust into
the front-line trenches with meager
preliminary training.
In fact they were not scheduled
to meet with the local chief until
Thursday night. when he was to have
taught them how to answer an alarm
how to extinguish blazes of all sorts
and how to put the apparatus away
again in good shape. But a fire
alarm yesterday morning got them
out on active duty. or, at least. got
out half of them, long before they
had anticipa ted any such service.
Think Men Are Delinquent.
1t all came about in this way: Some
of the woman residents OF the VIZ
ginia town didn't think the male
fire department was exactly up to
snur"-in fact. they claimed that
handsome residence out there had
lately been allowed to burn to the
ground because the men were either
incompetent or lazy.
So four of them got together and
formed female department to help
out. They were posing Thursday
with the apparatus-a Ford truck.
for a group photograph when word
came in that big fire was "ra ginS
several miles away. L.
1--WE ought to go" said one. even
il we're not yet really trained.
Can anybody run this truck"
asked another. Nobody could.
Can you run it?" the photographed
was asked He admitted he could,
and volunteered for the job.
Two Stick to Their "Guns."
I'VE can't go; we have important
engagements in Washington" de-
clared two of the new fire fighters.
The other two. however. swung
aboard.
With a number of the man fire-hght-
ers who had been rounded up, and
with the camera expert at the wheel,
they sailed far out into the country,
il being necessary to make detour
of several miles in order to reach the
blaze. which proved to be a large
brush fire. Once arrived. one of the
recruits was detailed to guard the
machine and the other to fetch pail
of water for the gasping radiator.
They'll be better organized and
properly trained at an early date,
they claim; will be more numerous
and will have arranged their engage
ments so that a certain proportion
will always be available.
How would you like to be faint
ing male victim and be carried down
ladder by valiant puttee clad
fire lassie"?
