Unidentified SOLDIERS
BURIAL PLACE APPROVED
Secretary Baker Justifies Inter
ment of Body in New Memorial
Amphitheater at Arlington.

Secretary Baker approved the re-
turn from Flanders Field of the body
Of an unidentified American soldier
for interment in the new memorial
amph;theater in Arlington national
cemetery. in a letter read before the
House military affairs committee yes
terday.
Secretary Baker. in expressing his
opinion on the resolution fathered by
Representative Hamilton Fish of New
York. said he could conceive OF no
more fitting inauguration of the use
OF the amphitheater than to place
there the body of soldier whose
name and identity are lost, but who
will typify and represent the imper-
ishable part of the sacrifice which
he and his comrades made for their
country and their countrys cause"
Predicting that ultimately the Ar
lington amphitheater would become
1.-THE Westminster Abbey of Americas
heroic dead" the War Secretary said
no place could be more suitable than
It for his significant and symbolic
interment," which would be "a Ea-
tional tributee to the great aggregated
value of our Army and, being dis
associated from the name of any in
dividual, would become a common pos
session of all who contributed to the
victory"

INCOME TAX JUST
ONE MORE WORRY
FOR MR.. HARDING

The White House will not be
exempt from the wage reductions
that are taking place in MANY
parts of the country, and Presi-
dent Harding will have to get
along on some $4,000 year less
than was available for President
Wilson.
The difference will not be due
to any retrenchment from war
time conditions, however, but fol-
lows a supreme Court ruling of
last wear to the effect that the
President of the United states and
federal judges who were in office
prior to the enactment of the 1918
revenue tax laws are exempt.
Those whose election or appoint
ment followed the passage of the
act. however. must pay the same
income lax as others.
President, Harding may claim
$4,000 exemption as the head of
a family. on the remaining $4,000
of his salary h" will pay $3.50
normal tax and $12,9io surtax.
total of StS.42o. unless he finds
that there are certain business
exernptions connected with being
