| SOME SOFT DRINKS
PLACES INVESTIGATED
War Tax of One Cent Being
Collected On Each Drink,
1t Is Charged

Oklahoma City. July 10 Numer-
GUS complaints are being received at
the internal revenue office that Ger
tain drug stores and other reflector
les in the state are profiteering on
ths government war tax on soft
drinks.
Corplainants say soft drink dealers
are charging war tax on each separ-
ate drink instead OF the total amount
OF the sale. According TO the proyis-
ions OF the luxury tax law tax
OF 10 per cent OF the total purchase
should be levied II is charged that
some dealers are charging tax of
one cent on each drink, regardless OF
the number OF sales. AT existing
rrices the base price Of most soft
drinks Is cents plus the tax. The
tax Legislation provides a tax OF ont
cent on every purchase Of 10 cents
or fraction OF 10 cents
In the case OF a purchase Ct one
drink the legal price and war tax
would be cents. whereas II four
drinks we're purchased the base price
would 6e "A cents PLUS the II per
cent war tax, which would in this
case amount to cents 1t is claimed
that dealers charge the straight tax
OF one cent on each rink.
Unless complaints OF such practices
are discontinued. government officers
will conduct an Investigation and vlo-
lators Of the war tax act will be
prosecuted, bureau officials said.

APPEAL TO THE ALLIES

Somewhat hasty arrangements
for an Allied conference at Brus-
.els records the alarm with which
the Polish and Ukrainian Situa-
tion is viewed from the stand
point Of the common peace OF
Europe. Polish authorities are
still broadcasting bulletins Of
minor victories, but preparations
to take control from the Govern
ment and place all authority in
the hands of the national council
9f defense agrees better with the
forward movement of the Boil
sheyist armies and the Allied con-
ference al Brussels To figure some
way ont Of the difficulties. The
Polish army has been pushed
well back west Of kiev. while
further to the south the Boil
shevists seem to have attained an
alarming success in a turning
movement on a scale extensive
enough to almost forecast the be
nnning Of the end of Poland 5
military adventure Marshal
Each and Sir Henry Wilson will
advise the conference at Brussels.
hut it is known that the British
expert at no time has been in
favor of any of the military sug-
gestions from Poland. even when
supplemented by French pro
posals for cooperation.
Should the Bolshevists make
their turning effective the result
viii be to nush a heavy force
close to the Polish rbsrdenothHeaic,
ening the rear Of tho Polish
northern lin eandl perhaps pre-
cipitating a situation that may
bring field operations to more
or less abrupt close. 1t is evi-
dent from the apprehension ex-
pressed by Allied officials over
the continued success of the
Soviet armies by reason OF their
overwhelming numbers that the
conditions are loaded with dan
ger, not only for Poland. but
more or less for al lcf Europe,
