Berlin, June 2o.-(By the Asso-

program which will be submitted
to the national assembly during the
next session of that body.
Since the original plan was pro-

framed, necessitating the raising Of
10000, 100000 marks more than orr
ginally estimated, so that a basic
revision is necessary. Three of the
bills to be submitted are emergency
measures.
The tax on war profits fall into
two classes and hits individuals and
corporations. Excess profits over
peace earnings would be taxed, in
the case of individuals on everything
over 5000 marks up to 10000 marks
at S per cent. About 10000 marks,
the rate would increase proportion
ately as the profits increase until it
reaches 50 per cent. Excess profits
earned by corporations in 1919 will
be taxed up to 80 per cent instead of
80, as in 1918.

RESTRICTIONS ON
GERMAN TRADE
May Be LIFTED
Superior Blockade Council
Sends Word to Washing
ton to Make Ready
to Raise Bar.

Washington, June 29.-The ST.
period blockade council has been in
structed to be prepared to raise the
economic blockade of Germany i'm
mediately upon ratification by the
German national assembly of the
peace treaty.
This announcement was made in
a dispatch to the state department
from Paris. The action of the coun-
Gil, officials here explained, means
that upon ratification of the treaty
by Germany all restrictions upon
trade with Germany may be re-
moved. Without requiring individ-
ual ratification by the allied and as
ISOLATED powers, all of the nations
arrayed against Germany in the war
may have an equal start in the race
for German trade.
Raising of the blockade without
awaiting individual ratification was
said by officials to mean more to
the United States than any other
nation because final approval of the
treaty, owing to governmental ma
chinery, probably will require longer
in the United States than in the
other countries.
One result of the decision, if car
ried out, will be to give the senate
unlimited time for consideration of
the treaty. In some quarters pro-
vision in the treaty say that COM
mercial relations with Germany
might be resumed when three Of
the powers ratified the treaty was
considered as likely to force the
senate to speedy ratification. The
resolution recently introduced by
Senator Fall, republican, of New
Mexico, to declare the war with
Germany at an end was signed to
enable the United States to begin
business relations with the Ger
mans and to relieve the senate of
any pressure that might be brought
to bear by business interests.

YANK FORCES GET
READY TO LEAVE
FOR u. S. SHORES

Coblenz, June 2S.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-Home-going activi-
ties began in earnest among the
troops in the area occupied by
American forces as soon as the news
that the treaty of peace had been
signed was received.
In Luxembourg the fifth division
was prepared to entrain as soon as
final orders came and in the Bridge
head area where the first and sec
ond divisions and part of the third
have been concentrated since last
week, when it appeared the Ger
mans might balk at tn treaty, prep
arations began Immediately for NOV
ing back to quarters in villages and
barracks.
This movement will require only
two or three days then the first,
second and third divisions will
make themselves comfortable while
awaiting orders which eventually
take them home. According to
present plans the fifth division will
begin moving toward Brest, Tues
day and the fourth division or Sun
day.
The date for the departure of the
third division is expected to follow
the fourth.
1t is understood that both the first
and second divisions will be out of
Germany before August l, but much
will depend on transportation ia
cilities of the railways. 1t is re-
ported here if the American flag is
to remain on the Rhine with a regi-
ment of possibly Smaller unit, as
part of the permanent army of oc-
cupation, this unit will consist of
volunteers who were recruited in
America and who recently arrived
in France.
Details Of the ceremony attending
the signing of the treaty were re-
ceived at third army headquarters
by special signal corps men and then
relayed throughout the area, where
the troops were eagerly awaiting the
news.
