MANY SOLDIERS
I TING ARMY I
Discharge Requestedby 10000
Enlisted Men In First Ten Days
Of July, Says War Chief.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Lids.
charges from the United States army
were requested by 10000 enlisted men
in the first 10 days in July, accord
ing to figures made public by Sec
retary of War Weeks.
When congress recently ordered the
army reduced to 10000 men, it was
objected to in some quarters on the
ground that there is moral obliga-
ton on the part Of the government
to let the men serve until the end
Of their. enlistment. Advocates of a
smaller army showed that the en-
listment paper the soldier signs per-
>mits authorities to release him any
time they see fit and that this dis
poses of the moral obligation claim
The number Of: men who are. de-
manding releases seems to surprise
army officials.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The gov
ernment continues it's war against
income tax evaders. Last year
these "patriots'' were forced to dis
gorge $20,000,O0O. The internal

many methods are used to evaade
the tax. In some cases large items
are ommitted from. returns, while in
others manipulated inventories are
used. -,
= Two sets Of books are often kept,
one accurately setting forth the state,
of the business and the other for the
benefit of the government. The reve-

MEAT CUTTERS SHOW UP
PACKERS HUGE PROFITS

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-Organized
butcher workmen~a giving publicity
to the huge profits Of meat packers
that were developed at the recent
wage hearing. when Federal Judge
Alschuler refused to cut wages cents
an hour.
1t was shown that surplus profits of
Armour piled up to such a height that
in 1915 the company issued a stock
dividend of 400 per cent-that is for
every 800 of stock held additional
stock to the value Of $4O0 was issued.
This favorite trick of big business
spreads out" the profits over larger
amount of stock and allays suspicion
that inordinate profits are being
made.

slowing down in. business has aatu-
