LOSES FIGHT AGAINST DEATH,,
Broken Brtck Fntnl to Man After
Year's Suffering
After a brave fight, lasting more than
a ear. John Ingram, twenty-four years
old, 1631 South Frazler street, died to
day In "tho Philadelphia Hospital from
a broken back.
Ingram was Injured while working on
a coal wagon The doctors held out
little hope for his recovery, but the mnn
vvaa alwajs cheerful and optimistic re
garding hi( condition.
A special litter was .Improvised for
him at tho hospital, and several opera

British Have Muddled
War for Four Years
Continued from r-nitf One
to correct the errors which caused
them. They have brought us effective
unity of command and they have
taught us to appreciate the relative
Importance of the East and West.
They have also brought about such
an increase In the dispatch of Amer
ican troops to France ns has exceeded
the most optimistic calculations of last
winter. All this Is very much to the
good, but is not, so far as we British
are concerned, good enough.
We owe It both to ourselves and our
Allies to get an adequate icturn for
the Immense expenditure of blood and
treasure which we have made, and
are making for the common cause.
We cannot afford, for our own sakes,
to weaken further our prestige, nor
In the general Interest to make our ef
fortn less effective than they might
be by continuing" to muddle owing to
the defects In our organization for
war
The outstanding fact of the last year
Is. that, knowing of the Impending col
lapse of rtussla and estimating with
fair accuracy the consequent Increase In
the German fotcea In the west, vet when
the blow fell on us we were not ready.
We had spent the winter In arguing as
to what were the bare minimum needs
of the army in men .as to how to or
ganize unity of command, as to whether
the war could be won more easily In
the east than In the west and when the
German attacked cm March 21 we had
not got effectlvlty of command, had not
men ready to leplace our losses In the
field without calling upon our lads of
... u we sun ,au vague and
uMicuiiiiiuie amoitions in the east.
In short, we were once more too late
and had to take in a hurry, after the
event, measures which should have been
taken at leisure before the emergency
arose.
Statesmen may say that the generals
were to blame; general?, that the states,
men did not give them what they asked
iui, mm quite proLatiiy theie were faults
on both sides. There usuallv nr i,..i
JhCfco things don't happen If organisa
tlon Is efficient.
Obviously. If the conduct of the war
is to be effective, statesmen and soldleis
must bo in complete agreement, for dis
agreement throws an Intolerable and
avoidable strain upon both. It U the
business of the Government to select
Its military ndvlers and Its commanders-in-chief
In the various theatres
of the war. and to change them as som
hi them Ce"Se(I '" hae confiacn
But it Is also the business of the Gov
ernment to appreciate what mllltarv ad
vice should be; and how to ti.c It ami
this of courje. applies equally to nava
a u vice.
Now, our failures have in the main
been due to th- fact that our statesmen
have not realized tliat mllltarv advice
to be effective must be organized. The
Germans never showed any mirked su
periorlty ever us In generalship in the
field ; for If our commanders bn mn,,
iuisihkgs, wieir nave mado more, and
they 4inve thrown away chance after
chance. Certainly our soIJIerr have
shown again nnd again thai, man for
man. they are better fighters than are
theirs, but they havu heeu from the flrM
and arc still superior In their organisa
tion for the higher conduct of war In
their machinery for combining stated aft
and strategy.
There Is nothing In the least myste
rious about the German organisation and
there Is nothing of Pruslanlsm or mili
tarism In the principles on which it Is
based. It Is simply the outcome of plain,
common-sense deduction from the experi
ence of war.

MORE CARE IN TESTS
OF DRAFT MEN URGED
Complaint Made Too Many
Selectives Are Returned
From Camps
Local draft boards throughout the city
have received orders from Harrisburg to
examine more closely the ph)slcal qual
ifications of men certified for service.
The orders were Issued following a
complaint from Washington In which It
was stated that In some cases 34 per
cent of a local board's quota were re
turned home after reaching camp.
Members of local boards said today
that much of the trouble Is due to the
flexibility of the eligibility rules. Before
the last call for recruits was sent out,
one official said, the minimum height
for cllglbles was sixty-one inches, with
a weight to correspond.
After these men reached the camp, he
said, the rules were changed and the
height minimum made sixty-three Inches,
w ith a corresponding change In weight,
and consequently many sent away were
rejected by the military examiners.
.Vow, he continued, the height has
been lowered to sixty Inches and the
weight decreased, and many men re
turned from the last quota doubtless
will be sent away again.
Other local board officials bore out
his statements, bbt all said they would
use greater care In selecting the men
for the next quota.

WILSON FAVORS
HIGH PROFITS TAX
Considers Plan That Will
Virtually Conscript All
War Earnings
EXPRESSES' HIS MEWS
By the Associated Press
WnalilnRton, Aug 3.
Presfdent Wilson has let "it be known
to members of the House Ways and
Means Committee, which Is framing the
new elght-bllllon-dollar revenue bill, that I,
he Is Interested In a heavy tax on war
profits.
The President has given careful study
to the present tax system and also to ,
the nngllsh system, which Imposes a flat
tax of 80 per cent on such profits.
In his address to Congress In May
the President said there wap Indispu
table evidence of war profiteering and,
that It must be leached by the new rev- I
enue bill. I
"Profiteering that cannot be got jit bv
restraints of conscience." said the Presi
dent, "can be got nt by taxation."
The House Ways and Means Commit
tee has been considering a war profits
tax to be superimposed on the i'ress
profits tax provided for In the present
revenue measure, but no decision has
been reached. The Hngllsh system has
been considered, but pome members have
contended that a better plan tan be de
vised and one that will yield a greater
return.
One complaint against the war-profits
tax Is that It does not always reach the
war profiteers. The President Is known
to be considering a plan designed to
reach all profiteers and to tax away
their pioflts.
