Disabled Veterans
 Will Be Remembered

Indianapolis, Dec. 21.-Disabled veterans and their dependents in every community in the United States will be cared for Christmas Day by American Legion members, according to plans announced yes terday by national headquarters ot the ex-service mems organization.
 Visits to the homes of sick and wounded ex-service men and to their families will be made by the legionnaires and special committees will take care of the men still in hospitals. Entertainments and pres ents will be provided for the in- capacitated veterans.
 In connection with the Christmas visits, legion investigators will ob- tain information in regard to strik- ing cases of neglect of the disabled and their families; following which action the members of the local posts will take up the claims of these men with the government and will assist their families in getting proper care.
 Information in regard to the To- cation of disabled men will be as certained through legion post meet ings, the Red Cross, local medical organizations, county and city off cials, and, if necessary, through work by legion con- mittees. N
 "'This is not charity affair." said Hanford MacNider, national commander of the legion. "Tt is the Christmas thought of one ex- service man for another who wo expect his buddies to remember him if the positions were reversed. It does not matter whether the dis abled lad is a legion man or not, it is a Christmas greeting between ex-service men,"

ORGANIZER OF BIG SWINDLES
 IS CAPTURED
Henri Rochette, One of Most Famous Crooks of Past Decade, is Taken by Paris Police.
tBy International News Service,

(By International News Se-vics)
 Paris, Dec. 24.-Henri Rochette, who started life as an errand boy in little cafe and became the most famous swindler of the past decade in France, has just been rearrested by the Paris police, charged with organizing new series of bogus concerns. He was found in lux urious apartment whose walls were literally covered with pictures of beautiful women whose hearts he had won.
 Rochette's swindles, according to the police, total more than $40,- 900, ,O80. He inyeigled into his clutches all sorts of people-cau- tious bankers, venturesome business men, small shopkeepers, women who fell in love with him, relatives and best friends
 The few hundred dollars that his aunt left him when she died was enough to start the errand boy on the road to crime. He took lessons in bookkeeping and obtained d job in a private bank. The bank failed, but Rochette borrowed mon ey, put it on it's. feet and 2 few months after he had quit his cafe job was a bank proprietor.
 He organized company to ex- ploit copper mines which only exist ed in his own imagination. Tho copper company collapsed, but Roch- cite escaped arrest by organizing larger concern which took over the shares of his defunct corpora ton. For three years he constantly lodged jail by organizing fresh companies which supplied financial backing to his other ventures which were about to fall. The last con- corn he launched before his first arrest in 1908 had a capital of more than s3,00O,000.
 Political influence got Rochette off with a light sentence. but the police were on his trail again for new swindles within a few months. He fled to Mexico, but returned to France shortly after the outbreak of the war and joined the colors under an assumed name. His iden- tity was soon learned and he was sent, to prison. Three years ago his sentence expired and he started his old operations again, lodging the police time and again until q few days ago.

NEW RATE WAR FOR ATLANTIC
 TRADE IS SEEN
Germans Predict United States Shipping Board Will Lose in the Fight for Business.
(By The United Press)

Berlin, Dec. 24.-A new trans Atlantic freight war, which tho United States Shipping Board will lose after having caused losses to all shipping companies, is predicted by officials of the Hamburg-American line, as the result of the shipping boards intention to put three new, large steamers on the New York Plymouth 4Cherbourg- Bremen Danxig route.
 "The Haphag-Harriman steam CTS America and George Washington are already covering the route a high official of the Hamburg-Amer- ican line said to the United Press. "Ths 'Hapburg.' however, is not doubtful of the outcome of the rate wsrv the shipping boards achion will cause.
 The transatlantic shipping pool, comprising the 'Haphag,' Hartman and several other big American lines, as we'll as big English, Bel gian, French, Italian and Dutch lines, will be obliged to protect their members against the ship ping board, which is thus faced with overwhelming opposition, even if it obtains the support of the North German Lloyd, which does not be- long to the pool.
 Nevertheless the 'Haphag is worried over the general loss such a war means all around, whatever the outcome, as happened in the recent freight war between America on ono side and French and Eng fish lines on the other. Then freight rates sank before the pre-war stand ard, and did not even pay for bunk CT coal"

TAX LEGISLATION
PUT UNDER WAY
Bitter Fight Over important Pro-
visions Reported by Finance
Committee Indicated.
PROPOSE ALTERATIONS
Senator Simmons Of North Carolina
Gives Notice That Sweeping and
Radical Amendments VIII Be
Offered BY Democrats.

Washington-Tax revision iegisla-
ton was put under way in the Senate
with indications of bitter fight to-
come over the more important provi-
sions of the measure reported by the
finance committee.
Notice was given by Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina, ranking
minority member of the committee
that sweeping and radical amend
ments" will be offered by the Demo-
Gratis. He added that If the sponsor for
the manufacturers sales tax would ac-
cept those amendments, serious con-
sideration would be given to such a
sales tax as part of the Democratic
scheme provided such levy should
prove necessary to raise the needed
revenue.
Surtax Alterations Proposed.
Objections to specific sections Of
the bill came from the Republican, as
well as the Democratic side Of the
chamber. Senator Lenroot of Wis
consin, Republican member of the
agricultural "bloc," proposed amend
ments to the income surtax provision
under which existing rates would be
continued UP to so per cent on in
comes exceeding 100000 With an al
ternate proposal of a so per cent levy
on incomes of from 100000 to $780,
600, and a 60 per cent rate on those
above 100000.
By taking the bill up under an
agreement to accept uncontested COM
mittee amendments to the original
House measure, the Senate made con-
siderable progress on proposed
changes to some of the administrative
features. None of the levy provisions
was passed on, however, objection be-
ing made in each case.
In offering objections to some
phases of the bill, Senator Simmons
said it was his judgment that in en-
acting peace-time tax laws it would
be better for the Senate ito strike out
boldly on new lines instead of tinker
ing with or trying to repair machine
that was created to meet other cir
cumstances and conditions" He de-
clared he will vote against the bill in
its present form, describing it as 'the
most horrible and unjust proposition
Of taxation that has ever been present
ed in this chamber"
The amendments to be offered by
the Democrats, Senator Simmons con-
tinued, will be designed to produce
something like uniformity of taxation
between the different classes and
groups of taxpayers and will remedy
some of the class determinations
which reek throughout the bill"
He added that "the favoritism which
this bill displays toward corporations
and against partnerships and indivi-
duals is so great that most of the
partnerships will dissolve to incorpo-
rate and every individual in the coun-
try who can, if possible, would like to
CONVEX his operations into corporate
form"

to attend the opening Of the third ma
tional convention Of the American Le-
gion at Kansas City.
A memorial to this effect was pre-
sented the marshal at the recent died.
ication Of the Flirey monument in
France by Charles W. Bartlett of Kan
sas City, chairman of the distin-
guished visitors committee Of the con-
yention. Mr.. Bartlett accompanied
the Legion pilgrimage to France for
this purpose.
The marshal asked Mr. Bartlett to
convey to the people of Missouri and
Kansas how deeply he was touched
by this honor and to assure them Of
the eagerness with which he looked
forward to seeing more of the Legion
when he should come to the United
States.
