DANISH ALIENS,
SAYS JOHNSON
Wants Nation to Deport All
Who Evaded Military
Duty.

Representative Albert Johnson, OF
Washington, demanded in the House
yesterday that all aliens who with
draw their first naturalization papers
to escape the draft be depoTted. He
read a telegram from citizens OF
Aberdeen, Wash, urging that Con-
gress take action looking to this end,
and suggested that a clause direct
ing that such action be taken be in
corporated in the immigration exclu-
sion bill now on the Calendar.
"One person in every ten in the
United States is not a citizen Of the
United States" said Mr.. johnson.
MANY of these aliens forfeited their
declarations OF intention to become
citizens. Neither the courts nor the
people can, in good faith, accept such
persons in the future as citizens.
Could Refuse Admission.
''If the countries from which these
undesirables came refuse to receive
them back, then surely we can refuse
henceforth to accord admission to all
persons from those countries.
I'VE should be rid of all non-Ameri-
cans among us who either cannot or
will not become citizens We should
be through with the PHILOSOPHERS they
bring. the revolution they preach.
we cannot keep among us. TO be
citizens at some future time, those
who declined the call TO shoulder arms
alongside our own true citizens, both
native and adopted"

ASKS AUTHORITY.
FOR NEXT LOAN
Glass Says Nation Is Spend
ing $1,000, 100000 a
Month.

Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass went before the House Ways
and Means Committee yesterday and
explained his reasons for asking wide
powers in connection with the forth
coming victory loan.
He was followed by Assistant Sec
retary r. c. Leffingwell, in charge OF
fiscal bureaus, and Assistant SeCre-
tary Albert Rathbone, in charge of
foreign loans. Both urged adoption of
Mr.. Glass recommendations.
One of the most startling statements
made by Mr.. Glass in his testimony
was that in the three months since
the war has ended this country has
spent at the rate of nearly 5000, 600, 900
a month. and the end it not yet.
He declared 1t was not his intention,
in asking the right to issue $4,000, ,OOo.- =
900 worth of liberty bonds and an
equal amount of notes, to issue both.
1t was in order that he might take ad-
of conditions i'm April and is
sue the most favorable that he asked
the power, he said.
Mr.. Glass ,dwelt heavily on the ne
cessity, as he called it, of Congress
giving him authority to determine
what the rate of interest on the VIC
tory bonds shall be, instead OF setting
a maximum at this time This, ac-
cording to members OF the committee,
Congress is unwilling to do.

BLIZZARD RACES
IN MIDDLE WEST
Storm Which Threatens
Livestock and Crops
Moving Eastward.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Storms in the Mid
die West and mountain region today
virtually suspended wire communica-
ton between the Rocky Mountains
and Pacific Coast and the remainder
of the country.
Billiards in Nebraska, Kansas. and
Oklahoma, were accompanied by a
drop in temperature that threatened
loss of livestock in some sections,
and possible damage to winter wheat.
Rain and snow were falling late to-
day in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Train service was handicapped in
the Central States affected by the
storm. but all important trains were
moving.
The blizzard was moving eastward
today. according to weather bureau
officials. Omaha school children were
sent home at noon in anticipation of
the blizzard.
Reports from interior Nebraska
cities said the storm was one of the
worst in many years. 1t was ac-
companied by big drop in tempera-
ture.
Fruit growers fear the temperature
will cause heavy damage to crops. Re-
cent warm weather, they said, had
started sap in fruit trees.

I'VE gave up the idea of flying
away then, as it was getting very
light. and beat 1t for the woods.
After going about fixe days we be-
gan to pass through occupied
trenches, lightly occupied, it is true.
Finally we got into No Mans Land
and could see a British outfit just
across a small stream, which we
prepared to swim. We had our
clothes off and were just ready to
slip in when a Boche wire patrol
ma bbed us
''They took US back to another prison
and put us in solitary Here We
met Tillinghast and Anderson, two
other American officers. and an Eng
lish officer. We Immediately set about
planning another escape, and after
working three nights had a hole
through the roof of the prison.
ION September &c the five of us
crawled out, climbed the wall back OF
the prison, swan the canal and began
travelling across country. We traY-
eled at night and slept in the day.
Before arriving at the frontier Of
Holland we got pair of wire clip
pers and rubber gloves to use on the
electrically charged wire fences at
the frontier. The grass was cut 100
yards on either side of the three
fences which separated us from lib
crty. The middle fence was charged
with 5000 volts. 1t took us three hours
to crawl the 100 yards. so careful were
we to not be captured by the sentries
again.
"' Andy said he was an electrical
engineer. so we let him cut the wire ;
it made big sparks and attracted
the attention OF a sentry, who yelled
and shot at us, but we had the start
on him and leaving most of our
clothes and some of our skin on the
fence, we got through successfully;
limped into a Dutch village, where
We "NlS hliiuly tttdltbt anu llIlttlly

from there to England"
In a plea that the recognition 1t
deserves be accorded by the Amer
lean people to the Air Service as
n vital factor in war. Maj Connolly
declared it would be shame for
this country to allow all that has
been accomplished in developing this
branch of the service to go for
naught or to allow the service to fall
into the ruck that we once allowed
the work of our pioneer aviators to
fall into. He pointed out that the
possibilities of the. Air Service have
only begun to be developed in the
way they should be, and that there
is no investment which the country
could make which would yield bet
ter in the event of another war.

DRESS WARM and
KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take
Salts and Get Rid of
Uric Acid.

rheumatism is no respectcr of
age, sex, color or rank. If not the
most dangerous of human afflic-
tionS it is one of the most painful.
Those subject to rheumatism should
eat less meat, dress as warmly as
possible, avoid any undue exposure
and, above all, drink lots of pure
water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric
acid which is generated in the
bowels and absorbed into the
blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this actid from
the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood
of this impurity. In damp and
chilly, cold weather the skin pores
are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they be-
come weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which
keeps accumulating and circulating
through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles,
causing stiffness, soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheuma-
tism get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts; put a
tablespoonful in a glass of water
and drink before breakfast each
morning for week. This is said
to eliminate uric acid by stinu-
lating the kidneys to normal ac-
ton, thus ridding the blood of
these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harm
less and is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia and is used with excel
lent results by thousands of folks
who are subject to rheumatism.
Here you have a pleasant, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which
overcomes pric acid and is bene-
ficial to your kidneys as WE'LL

REVENUE BILL
PASSES SENATE;
AWAITS WILSON
La Toilette Is with Few
Other "Noes" IN Viva
Voce Vote.
SIX BILLION TAXES
Measure Is Largest Of Its
Kind Ever Approved in
u. S. Congress.

The conference report on the rev.
enue bill was accepted by the Sem
ate yesterday without a record vote.
On the viva yoce VOTE. three or four
voices were heard to register no"
among them being Senator La Fol-
lette, Of Wisconsin. who offered a
substitute bill at the time the pres
ent bill passed the Senate, and SEN
ator Townsend. OF Michigan.
The bill win be held in Washing
ton to be signed by the President
upon his return from Europe.
Designed to raise more than s6.-
100000. 900 in revenue to meet the
war expenses of the government
this year and four billions of dol
lars next year, il is a record tax
bill for this and all other countries.
Adopted by House.
Adopted by the House last Satur-
day, the conference report was call
ed up in the Senate Tuesday and
has been under discussion three
days, during which many of its
features yere criticized by Repub-
licans, who also took advantage of
the opportunity afforded to criticize
the administration for the very
heavy expenditures because OF the
tax burden thereby placed upon the
PEOPLE.
Under the old law. Representa-
tive kitchin, chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee, estimated
that war profiteers would escape the
payment of S1.7O0 100000 in taxes
that they will have to pay under
the new law.
The revenue legislation enacted with
the adoption of the conference report
by the Senate has engaged the at
tention of taxing experts OF Congress
and the Treasury Department since
May of last year. when President
Wilson. in an address at a joint ses-
sion of Congress, advised that body
that the war expenditures of the gov
Crment for a year would be not less
than S24, 900. 900, 900 and recommended
that not less than one-third of that
amount be raised by taxation.
Hearings were begun by the House
Ways and Means Committee on June
! and were continued until July II. A
bill designed to raise 8. .0OO, 900 900 from
taxation was reported to the House
on September and was passed Sep
tember 20.
The bill was sent to conference,
where very radical differences had to
be adjusted because of the great
changes IN the House bill made by
the Senate Conferees began work
early in January and met almost daily
for a month. The report was finally
oompleted and sent to the House,
where II was adopted last Saturday.
List of Amendments
Important amendments added by
the Senate included a tax OF 10 per
cent on the products of child labor:
the District of Columbia bone dry
provision; a bonus of $50 for dis
charged members of the military es-
tablishment and the elimination of
the postal zone system with a reduc-
tion in the second-class mail rates,
All of these were accepted by the
House except the elimination OF the
postal zone system, which the Senate
conferees were compelled to allow to
remain in the bill under insistence on
the part of House conferees that Sen
stor simmons declared amounted al
most to coercion"

DECLARES KAHN
Representative Makes a
Strong Plea for Mill
tary Course.

Representative Julius Kahn, of Cal.
Ifornia, ranking Republican member
of the Military Affairs Committee
made a strong plea for universal mil
itary training, during debate on the
army appropriation bill in the House
yesterday.
He urged the adoption of such a
policy for the United States, not only
for its military value. but for civic
reasons and the benefits to be derived
in improving the physical strength OF
young manhood.
Mr.. Kahn's plan proposes that each
young man in the country go into
training for a period of six months
when he arrives at the age of IS. He
said army officers urged much longer
periods of training. but that this war
had shown that with six months
training American troops could lick
to a FRAGILE" the shock troops of the
Kaiser.
Would Be Inexpensive.
MY opinion" said Mr.. Kahn, "is
that we can get along on compare
tiely small army If we will adopt the
principle of universal training. It is
the most inexpensive system. Under
universal-training law, we could
train our young men when they ar
rive at the age OF IS years for a period
of six months, from April to October.
We showed in this war that train
ing of that length of time gives us a
force that is effective, dependable and
valiant. The United States showed
the world that under a conscription
law we brought such material to the
ranks that in six months the soldiers
could go up against the shock troops
of the German Emperor and lick them
to a fraZzle.''
Statistics show that 81 out of every
1000 men who went to the training
camps, Mr.. Kahn continued, were
diseased. at was an appalling con-
dition of affairs" he said, and If that
condition had continued for another
t"-ertv-sve wears it is probable that
We would have become a nation OF
moral degenerates, physical incompe-
tents and towards.
1t will teach the young men of
this country respect for law and or
der and constituted authority. and
i'm that training will make for a much
better citizenship of the republic. It
will teach the men self-reliancc. ini-
tiative, how to work in team work
with each other.
Would End Scctionnlism.
1T will do more than anything
else to break down sectionuIiSm in
this country, and that is whu. VIC
need mighty badly right in these
United States. The men of the South
do not begin to know the men of
the North, and the men Of the North
do not begin to know the men of
the South"
The House yesterday reduced the
appropriation proposed for the Mill
tary Intelligence Bureau from 500. 900
to $4,000.
On a point of order by Republican
Leader Mann, a provision which
would have permitted the purchase
OF more land for flying fields was
stricken out.
