Inquiries received by the bureau

part of not only a large portion OF
the public, but dealers themselves
regarding the tax on soft drinks,
which became effective May l.
Reports reaching the bureau are

the tax while others are charging
extra pennies for drinks which are
not taxable. To correct these mis-
takes the bureau has issued official
information relating to the collec-

The tax is one cent for each 10
cents or fraction thereof on the
amount paid at soda fountains, Ice
cream parlors or similar places of
business on soft drinks, ice cream,

PARIS, May 22.-President Wilson Is
almost certain to recommend to Con-
nes that the United States accept a
mandate for Constantinople. He has a
recommendation from Henry Morgen-
thau, formerly Ambassador to Turkey.
that one American mandate should cover
Armenia, Turkish Anatolia and Con-
s,antinople, Mr.. Morgenthau believing
that this would work out better than a
division. He strongly advises the Pres
dent that II this is acceptable to the
Powers the plan be recommended to
Congress.
The President appears to believe that
there is much favorable sentiment IN
favor of this plan. He is said to have
been in communication with several
,aembers Of Congress on the subject.
but just who these members are is not
disclosed.
Whether the Sultan Is to remain In
power is undecided. but the Americans
favor his removal to Mecca or else
where.

that If they would submit a definite
plan lie would put IL before Congress.
telling Congress he favors the plan, and
leaving 1t 10 Congress to approve or
reject the plan by resolution, needing
only a majority vote.
This would make the United States
the most important of mandatory ma
tons, and in the eyes of many here il
ievives the Internationally issue in COM
pete form. President Wilson. ap-
parently, Is getting many encouraging
messages from home concerning the
prospects of the treaty and League of
Nations being ratified.
Some OF his friends have gone SO far
as TO say that even the Republicans
would indorse the league plan un-
changed. except by a resolution giving
an American Interpretation to such
clauses as the Monroe Doctrine.
Admittedly this would be a novel
method. but the Presidents friends say
it would have the same effect as reserva-
ton, and would avoid the diplomatic
confusion that would result from chang
ing the treaty.
