dicrs quietly obeyed the cease fir

There were few outbursts of joy
none of the whooping shouts that
marked the end of the hoStilitics in
the World War on November II, 1918.
Italian infantrymen merely stack
ed their rifles and sat down on the
mountainSide TO drink hot coffee and
wine. Artiilerymen left their still
smoking cannon to join their COM
radeS.
Some Italians called across the
Alpine snow TO French troops, but

Washington. June 25.-(AP) -
President Roosevelt signed into law
today a 1882, 100000 tax bill to pay
for the huge national defense APP
preparations Of the recent congress
siOnal session.
Dipping into the pockets of an cs-
timated 100000 additional income

boosting existing taxes on nearly
everything but chewing tobacco, the
measure was designed to raise the
1852, 100000 over five years-S715,-
100000 in the fiscal year beginning
July |, and 1894, 100000 in each OF

treasury to sell s4,000,000,O0G in spe-
cal national defense notes" to pay
for ornaments until the taxes come
in.
Income tax payers will bear the
heaviest part of the increase-S3l9,-
100000 in the next fiscal year and
$3.50, 100000 each year for four years.
After them will come the millions
of Americans who will pay an extra
penny or extra dollar on such things
as cigarettes, playing cards, theatre
admission, automobiles, radios, toilet
preparations, liquor and beer.
On top of all other income taxes
was added for five years d super
tax" OF ten percent. Under this tax,

Churchill
Says French
Broke Vows
British Prime Minister
Tells Commons he
Had Ma de 1t Plain To
Petain Government
That Conditions Not
Complied With.

London, June I5.-(AP)-Primc
Minister Churchill old commons to-
day the French had broken their
promises not to let their fleet fall in
to enemy hands, bu. in the house oil
lords Viscount Caliccote, dominion
secretary, said Churchill would not
relax his efforts to retain French
naval help.
Churchill, making his sixth war
report to commons, made no relcr-
cncc to the whereabouts Of the
French fleet, but said it was clear
that French war vessels under this
armstcc passed into German or
Italian control.
Caldecotc summed up the situation
thus briefly:
"The prime minister will relax no
effort to secure that French ships
will not continue to serve the cause
for which they have been employed
so many months"
Churchill said he had made it clear
to the French that the British would
so on fighting and that ne had maze
it plain to the Petain government
that the conditions indispensable to
French release from their agreement
with the British had not been COM
piled with.
A dispatch from Alexandria said
units of the French fleet stationed at
that British naval base flew their
flags at half-mast today in COM
pliance with a French government
order for a day Of mourning.
(This dispatch indicated that thus
far these ships have not obeyed the
reported stipulation of the armlstIce
that all French naval vessels return
10 home ports for disarming or in
ternment.)
