BOARDOF TRADE
REGRETSATTACK
Senator Sherman Has False
Conception of D. c. People,
Members Contend.
AIM IS TO CORRECT 1T

Members of the executive COM
mittee of the Board of Trade ex-
pressed regret at a meeting yester-
iay afternoon. that Senator Sherman
of Illinois made the speech he did in
the Senate few days ago attacking
the motives and principles of the
business men of Washington.
No formal vote of criticism was
taken, but members of the committee
said they felt sure that the senator
from Illinois had gained a false con-
ception of the people of Washington.
II was decided to leave Ii to the
discretion of the president, Walter A.
Brown, as to. what steps should be
taken to acquaint Mr.. Sherman with
the facts about the character OF the
people who live in Washington.
1t is probable that President Brown
will write to Senator Sherman, ex-
pressing the regret of the organiza-
ton that the address was made and
seeking TO lay before him what the
Board of Trade believes is the correct
impression of WashingtoHians.
Opposition to the holding of a well
come home parade for washington
soldiers until all the District men who
entered the service return was also
voiced at the meeting.
Members OF the committee expressed
the opinion that 1t would be better TO
make the parade next month exclu-
siyely a welcome to President Wilson
instead of making it a joint demon
stration in honor of the chief execu-
tive and those Washington soldiers
who will have returned by next month.
One suggestion was to recommend
TO the District Commissioners that the
present plans for welcoming the Pres
ident next month be carried out. but
that the celebration In honor OF WASH.
spring, wher a majority of them will
be back from France.
Suggestion to Boy Scouts
A request from the Boy Scouts for
do for the betterment Of the city on
February s. the beginning Of their
anniversary week. was read The COM
mittee decided to recommend to the
boys that they make February
clean street day by gathering up all
waste paper thrown in public places
by careless people.
The membership committee was In
structed to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
Of inviting the citizens associations
each to send a delegate to all meet
ings Of the Board Of Trade in order
to bring about q closer cooperation
in advocating the needs OF Washing
ton.
Although the Board Of Trade works
for the betterment OF the city as a
whole while the citi1eny associa-
tons represent individual parts Of the
city, members OF the board pointed
out that numerous matters arise IN
which the two types OF organization
have common interest

Washington. March 21.--Individhals
and mercantile establishments in the
northwest who have been congratulate
ing their representatives in congress on
the repeal of the luxury tax are due
to receive some disappointing news
Press dispatches saying that the house
had repealed that provision Of the rev.
enue law led to the universal impress
sion that luxury taxes were wiped off
the statutes. But not so. The repeal
amendment Is one Of the pieces of leg
islation which got caught in the jam in
the senate in stormy last days Of the
late congress.
One of the first acts of the new con-
gress doubtless will be to repeal this
tax. but unless an extra session is call
ed before May the tax will have to be
collected. which means that 10 per
cent will have to be added to every one
of the following articles: Carpets and
rugs, including fiber, except imported
and American rugs made principally of
wool, on the amount in excess Of SIS
per square yard; womens bonnets and
hats in excess Of SIS; mems hats cost
ing more than IS; neckties costing
more than So; women's silk hose cost
ing more than 50 a pair; kimonas, pet
ticoats and waists above SIS each; pa
jamas and underwear in excess of IS;
shirts above So; and shoes, boots and
pumps in excess of $40 pair. Many
other articles of clothing are hit and
several articles which are actually lux
uries above certain price, such as
fans paraSOlS. purses. travelling bags.

Bitter Complaints Made Against
Bone Dry Legislation; Many

tcapital News Special service.)

(Capital News Special Service)
Washington, March 21.--Some bitter
complaints are reaching Senator Cham
berlatn from boys in the American
expeditionary forces relative to ma
, tfonal prohibition. The tone of these
letters Is that the enactment of prohi-
bition at this time takes advantage of
he absence of men who went abroad to
fight, who, If here, would have suffi-
Client voting strength to upset any bone
dry legislation.
Some Of these soldiers say that their
solution of the situation will be to ex-
patriate themselves. In other words
they expect to stay in France and make
It their permanent abode. One lieuten-
ant Of the air service writes:
Now, far be 1t from me to enter in
to lengthy scientific discourse on this
subject of prohibition, but I will say
without fear of successful contradiction
that 1t does seem a trifle unconstitu-
tional to be deprived of liquid refresh
ments without having a voice in the
aforesaid privation. Being frequent.
regular and steady consumer of alco-
holic tidbits. I have decided to remain
over here after it is 'over, over here
All that will be lacking is the polished
brass rest"
HEARTILY RESENTED.
Another soldier, field artilleryman,
showing less Of good humor than the
other. writes:
I'VE heartily resent the passage Of a
law SO vital to the life of our country
and so wide sweeping in its effects
without thesopportunity Of voicing our
opinions. We are the ones most af-
fected by such legislation. Most of us
have been educated to the European
custom of drinking beer and light wines
in moderation, but the use OF intoxi-
cants and resulting drunkenness have
been discouraged on all sides. We do
not relish the idea of returning home
to soda water and red lemonade"
DOUBLE CROSSED"
Double crossed is right" writes
soldier of the Rainbow division. 1.-TWO
million men here between the ages of
FL and 81 without chance to vote
1t Is absolutely against the principle on
which the United States was founded
We came here to fight for the liberty
of the world, and it sure is hard to go
back to our homes and know we were
not considered as part of our country
at all while fighting for 1t. If the sol |
diers. sailors and marines stick to-
gether when we return with almost |
100000 votes, we can make this bone
dry party look sick"
2 Senator Chamberlain, however, Is
sending back no apology, for having
voted to submit the national prohibit
tion amendment.
