CLEMENCEAU WARNS FRANCE
in the Wind Unless Followed
BY Execution"

Paris.-A letter from former Pre-
mier Clemenceau to Capt. Andre Tar
dieu, former French high commission.
er in the United States, which forms
the preface to NJ. Tardieu's forthcom-
ing book on peace, will appear in
ILLUSTRATION. NJ Clemenceau insists
on the necessity of eternal vigilance
in carrying out the treaty of Yer
sailles.
THE signed treaty is but leaf in
the wnld unless it is followed by ex.
ecution," the letter says. Our French
opponents, after proposing rejection
or striving to discredit the treaty,
now, with sudden right about face,
demand rigorous execution of the
treaty they solidly condemned"
After describing Germany as rails
ing her head again, thanks to the pol
icy of nonexecution of the treaty. M.
Clemenceau, referring to the Spa con-
ference, says:
THE hour of warning came when
the chiefs of the allied governments
heard a German delegate summon
them to cure themselves of the NAL
ady of victory Yet the conference was
not broken off nor was a disavowal
of the raving brute exacted. At least
for a freedom of utterance that hardly
leaves us an illusion as regards Ger.

Washington.-Gree will be deci-

Asia Minor unless the allies come to
her assistance Immediately with SOL
diers as we'll as money, is the opinion
Of high army officers here.
These officers, who by reason of
their war department duties, are fully
informed concerning the Greco-Turk-
ish war, are firm in their conviction
that Greece already is beaten, for
they believe that If the allies had any
intention of intervening they would
not have waited until the Turks had
driven back the Greeks to Brusa.
With the surrender of Smyrna now
demanded, the loss of all the Greek
mandate possessions in Asia-Minor is
practically certain. they hold, unless
the allies assume active participation.
The opinion is expressed that Italy
AMI France have been assisting the
Greek army by furnishing money and
arms. Great Britain also is believed
to be helping the Greek cause.

San Francisco.-If all the Mexican
turkeys are of the same brand as the
one which recently arrived en- the Pa,

to be greater demand for them than
our native birds.

the fowl, noticed that the turkey was
fatter than any he had ever seen,
when dressed. He investigated after
the bird had been taken from the pan

Tax on Soft Drinks, Tobacco, ETC.,
Would Continue-Senator Claims
II Will Permit Repeal of
"NagginY Taxes"

Washington.-A general sales tax
was advocated in statement by Sen
ator Smoot Utah, repuAlican men,
Der of the senate finance committee,
who formally announced he would in
troduce a bill to that end in the senate.
Senator Smoots measure which he
estimates would yield approximately
81 SEQ, 600, 900 in revenue annually,
would place a flat tax of 1 per cent
on gross sales above $4,000 annually
OF virtually all commodities, both raw
materials and finished products. The
Dill carries few exemptions, but ap-
plication of the tax would be stayed
practically only on such commodities
as now bear higher levy.
Early consideration of the Smoot
proposal is planned by the senate
finance committee in it's study of the
faxaton question.
In discussing his proposed sales tax,
Mr.. Smoot said 1t would be simple in
application and easy to compute. He
declared 1T would properly distribute
the burden of taxation, compelling
each citizen to bear share proper
Tomato to his ability to pay as
measured by puying or producing

eff the sales tax becomes a part Of
the revenue laws of our country" the
sStats-' ept continued. congress can
repeal all of the irritating, nagging,

4 hundreds of millions of dollars and
the excess profits tax, the result of
which has worked such havoc with

having the same application would be

concerning the scope of the bill the
i Utah senator said:
1T is tax on the gross value of

Wer raw materials or manufactured,
Eor partially manufactured products,
