8 MAY LEVY ON ALL, FROM SERVANTS TO MEN'S SOCKS Plan Is to Double Present Rates .in Nonessential Commodities Washington. July 10.—Taxes ex tending from luxuries into the house hold and including everything from automobiles and Jewelry to nearly all articles of clothing were suggested by the Treasury Department yester day to the House Ways and Means Committee, which is drafting the new $8,000,000,000 war revenue bill. The department submitted to the committee a long list of articles which it suggested as a source of war revenue. For some of them a specific tax was .suggested, while the amount of the tax suggested for the remainder was left for the commit tee to determine. The list includes jewelry, automo biles, gasoline, household servants, nearly all articles of clothing for men, women and children, household furniture and furnishings, hotel and restaurant bills, double taxes on mo tion pictures and soft drinks and double the present tax on club dues. List in Two Parts The department's list is divided intc two parts, one including the suggestion for a tax on retail sales, which would be levied directly against the purchaser and the other on articles that would be paid by the manufacturer, producer or whole saler. The Treasury Department believes, it said in a statement accompanying tho list, that the proposed taxes would not only greatly Increase the war revenues of the nation by tax ing luxuries and doubling present taxes on nonessential commodities, but would also tend to keep down the consumption of many necessary articles, such as clothing. The department's suggestions in full follow: Retail Sales Tax Fifty per cent, on the retail price of jewelry, including watches and clocks, except those sold to army officers. Twenty per cent on automobiles, trailers and truck units, motorcycle, bicycles, automobile, motorcycle and bicycle tires and musical instru ments. A tax on all men's suits selling for more than S3O, hats more than $4, shirts more than $2, pajamas more than $2, hosiery more than thirty-five cents, shoes more than $5. gloves more than $2. underwear more than $3 and neckwear and canes. On women's suits more than S4O, coats more than „S3O, ready-made dresses more than" $35, skirts more than sls, hats more than $lO, shoes more, than $6, lingerie more than $5, corsets more than $5. Dress goods— silk more than $1.50 a square yard, cotton more than fifty cents a square yard and wool more than $2 a square yard. All furs, boas and fans. On children's clothing—suits more than sls, cotton dresses more than $3, linen dresses more than $5, silk and wool dresses more than SB. Hats $5, shoes $4 and gloves $2. On household furnishings, all or namental lamps and fixtures, all table linen, cutlery and silverware, chir.a and cut glass. All furniture in sets for which $5 or more is paid for each piece. On curtains more than $2 a yard and on tapestries, rugs and carpets more than $5 a square yard. On all purses, pocketbooks, hand bags, brushes, combs and toilet ar ticles and all mirrors more than $2. Ten per cent on the collections from the sales of vending machines. Ten per cent, on all hotel bills amounting to more than $2.50 a per son a day. Also the present tax on cabaret bills is made to apply to the entire restaurant or cafe bill (the present tax is 10 per cent). Taxes on manufacturer or pro ducer. Ten cents a gallon on all gasoline to be paid by the wholesale dealer. Ten per cent, tax on wire leases. The following taxes on soft drinks are suggested: Those now paying five cents a gallon to pay twenty cents, those paying eight cents to pay thirty cents, those paying ten cents to pay forty cents and those paying twenty cento to pay eighty cents. Jump of Fifteen Cents Mineral water now taxed one cent a gallon to pay sixteen cents. Chew ing gum now taxed two per cent of the selling price to pay one cent on eai h five-cent package. Motion picture shows and films: Abolish the foot tax of one-quar ter and one-half cents a foot and double the tax rate on admissions and substitute five per cent, on the rentals received by the producer. Double the present taxes on alco holic beverages, viz: Distilled spirits, now $3.20 a gallon, proposed $6.40. Wine, eight cents a gallon; to be six teen cents. Tobacco and cigaret taxes all doubled. Automobiles, a license tax on pas senger automobiles graduated ac cording to horsepower. Twenty-three horsepower or less sls. Twenty-four to thirty horse power $2 5. Thirty-one to forty horsepower S4O. More than forty horsepower SSO. Double club membership dues. . . Household servants, male: £5 per cent of the wages of one servant .up to 100 per cent of the combination wages of four or more. .... Female servants: Kach family ex empted from tax on one servant. AU additional servants (female) from 10 to 100 per cent, on all over four. The House Ways and Means Com mittee members favor the sugges tions, and the department's list will be used as a basis for schedule of taxes along these lines. The list was returned to the department yesterday with a request for an estimate of the taxes it would yield. The committee has abandoned the suggestions for a "breakfast table" tax on the consumption of sugar, coffee, tea and similar commodities. It also has decided not to tax oil, with the exception of gasoline for pleasure cars. The proposal to tax cotton, lumber, wheat, etc., has not been considered as yet. Chairman Kitchin said the meas ure would be drafted within four or five weeks and ready for presenta tion in the House late In August. * i Old Man Harris Editor of the OH and Mineral Journal of Billings, Mont., will given you straight "tips" about oil and mining companies free, and send you sample copy of his 16- page Illustrated paper for the ask ing.

Dougherty, newly chosen Archbishop of Philadelphia, arrived at Broad Street Station shortly be fore eight o'clock last night and from the moment he stepped from the special train which brought him from Buffalo, the metropolitan was the center of one of the most re markable receptions ever witnessed in this city. A hundred priests and laymen who went from Philadelphia to Buffalo and forty priests from Buffalo accompanied the prelate to this city, occupying five special cars. The bells of every Roman Catholic Church In the city rang forth a wel come as word was sent broadcast that the distinguished churchman had arrived In the city of his new and important ecclesiastical duties. Streets about the station and Broad street, north aild south, held thousands of persons assembled to welcome the prelate. It seemed that the greater part of the 800,000 ad herents 'of the Catholic Church in Philadelphia and the 800 priests over whom the Archbishop will have Jurisdiction had Jointed spontaneous ly in the wonderful reception. As soon as preliminary greetings were exchanged at the station, the party entered automobiles and pro ceeded to the head of the procession which was the central feature of the celebration. South of Broad street to Mifflin, north to Indiana Avenue, the line of autos threaded its way. Every Catholic church in the city had its delegations stationed at designated points along the route of the procession and there was a con tinous wave of welcome. Church dignitaries from many cities and citv officials were on hand to participate in the event and hun dreds of policemen were necessary to keep the way open for the pro cession. The party was escorted to the Archepiscopal residence at Eighteenth and Race streets. Bishop Dougherty was enthroned as Archbishop at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, at 10 o'clock this morning. He was given an im pressive farewell by the church leaders at Buffalo yesterday morn ing. For the last two years he has has been bishop of the diocese of Buffalo. Mgr.

Father Crane also was in charge of arrangements for the reception to the metropolitan upon his arrival here. Germany's One Fatal Error Disregard For Eternal Truths ANDREW F. WEST, dean of the Graduate School, Princeton University, delivered a re markable address at the meeting of the National Education Association at Pittsburgh in which he held up Germany as an example of the folly of a self-centered and exclusive na tional culture in the preparation of men for the realties of life. Among other things he said: "A boy without a memory cannot be educated. A man without a mem ory needs some one to look after him or he will go on repeating his mistakes, because he is always for getting what he needs to remember, and especially the one thing he ought always to remember; namely, that It Is not the man who makes a mistake but the man who repeats his mis takes who is known for a fool. And a nation without a memory is in the same deplorable plight. To remem ber well the things that ought to be remembered and to profit by them '.s the rule for a safe, strong and wise life for every man and for every na tion. "The past Is not something dead and gone. Whether men care to have anything to do with it or not It re mains a fact that the past has a great i deal to do with us. Our parents and| our parents' parents may be physi-| cally dead and gone, but without j them we would not have been whatj we are, and indeed would not be| here to-night. Whatever has hap pened is a fact as inevitable as what now happens or as what will hap pen. The past is the parent, the pro- j ducing cause of the present. • • "And now, when the world seems turned upside down, men need to re member these elementary and ele mental unchanging realities. For there are voices of confusion telling us that everything is changing, say ing that little if anything of what we have held us true can be depended on i for the future and bidding us clutch I at this or that panacea as the only I thing to cure our Ills. The past, they i say, has little to teach us; for we are Americans of the twentieth cen tury and should promptly cut loose from bygone times, methods and ideals and set up a brand new na tional culture of our own. In their rejection of what they call 'tradition' they are forgetting something; theyj aje forgetting that the value of any-| thing does not depend on whether it is old or new but on whether it is false or true. "They are proposing to run Amer ican education not on a record but on a prospectus. They are in fact telling us to lose our memories and to forget what we shall forget*at our peril; namely, that the past has our main lesson to teach us and that the man who does not see behind the 'lurid, blinding light of this world war Its deep lying causes for de cades and generations past, and on back to the origins, cannot under stand why this war happened nor how to prevent its happening again, i nor even what it is that is now hap- j penlng. For he who does not rn-| member what, has gone before has little means of judging what is hap pening now or of forecasting what will come after. It Is no time to forget. It is the time to remember everything and to forget nothing. • • • "Listen to a voice from long ago, yet so clear and.near in Its tones that it seems to be speaking now. 'There is. we affirm,' says Plato, 'an immor tal conflict now going on, and calling for marvelous vigilance. In it our allies are the gods and all good spirits.* He is speaking of the age long conflict of truth with error.

One hundred and eleven men were placed in class 1, eleven in class 2, four in class 3, twenty-four in class 4 and three- In class 5. One hundred and fifty-five men were registered. Kitty-five of the men were classified by the dis trict appeal board on industrial and agricultural claims. Forty-four have been called for examination July 12, and 26 for July 13. One hundred and four men in the 1917 class were shoved into class 1 from deferred classes. Twenty-one are fit for general military service, 47 for special limited service, 11 will be fit for service after an operation, three did not report for examination, five were transferred to other local boards, and four were placed in the Emergency Fleet Corporation lists. Thirteen were called for examination by the medical advisory board. RVSS CONSCRIPTION COMING By Associated Press Purls, July 10. Speaking at the opening to-day of the General Con gress of Russian Soviets, Leon Tiotzky, the Bolshevik Miniscter of War, said, according to a dispatch re ceived here from Basel this morn ing: "Rpssia is on the eve of a gen eral military service conscription." Trotzky also emphasized the necessity of Russia having a powerful Army. the armies of education in America. • * • "So our struggle in the schools as it should be in our homes, is against ignorance, the old, ancient, inveterate ignorance with which,every genera tion is born into this world, the igno rance which must be first overcome and then enlightened by effort, hard effort, repeated effort, wisely guided effort, not alone by the .exertion of the teachei", but on the part of the student as well, that our young re cruits may be trained, trained, train ed into an alert, disciplined, irresisti ble army of knowledge. "It is not an easy task, for we are wrestling not against flesh and blood but against the unseen powers of darkness, darkness intellectual and darkness moral. It is then our part In the "immortal conflict," ceaseless and strenuous, "now going on and calling for marvelous vigilance" more loudly than ever. It is no place for undisciplined minds or wild the orists, still less for Idlers, slouchers and slackers, and even less for false prophets dressed up in the uniform of the army of knowledge. "It is great to be a true American; it is greater to be a true man or woman here or anywhere. 'That all men everywhere may be free' was Lincoln's prayer. m Can we not lay aside all prejudice* and then read our lesson in the fiery light around us? That lesson is that no freedom is won or held without struggle and without self-denial. That lesson is that mental and moral freedom is not won or held by any human being in any land without whole minded training in the fundamentals of knowledge, be they pleasant or un pleasant at first, whole souled obedi ence to duty, "interesting" or unin teresting, and whole hearted devo tion to the truth won and held by hard effort, not for money, place or power but for the sake of living de cently in a decent world, made fit to be free. "In our education, as in the war, the 'lmmortal conflict' is now on. In both the same cause is working. And in both may God defend the right!" • * • Another feature of the address was the effect of the self-centered exclusive national culture, as is illus trated in Germany, which inevitably leads to disparagement of foreign I languages and foreign history; and especially of' ancient history and classics. He pointed to the Kaiser's Insistence upon German as the foun da'.'on of everything that :nsulted In the present Prussian effort to rule the world. • • /Mr. West's address throughout was a strong appeal for Intensive sudy, whether It was interesting or not. Some are telling us, he sijys, that vocational and technical education Is the one thing needful, because every one should be taught to earn his living. So he should. And nine tenths of our youth must begin to earn their living early. We grant it. But this utilitarian proposal errs In . forgetting some hard facta. For if i this is practically all our youths aro| \ to have then most of them are con-, demned in advance to a form of in dustrial slavery, because they would thus be trained to be little more than animate tools for special tasks and would be largely cut off from their just chance to rise. This view overlooks the fact they are more than animate tools. They are hu man beings,' our brothers and sisters, with minds and hearts as well as hands. If in our desire to prepare them for making their living we also unjustly fail to prepare them by good general schooling to make their lives be'ter worth living we shall create a huge proletariat of discontent to curse us, a grave menace to them selves and to the safety of our demo cracy. - t . , . I MORE HORSES ARE NEED OF STATE State Authorities Urge That Farmers Give Attention to Breeding Plans Among other war activities of the State Department of Agriculture, Secretary Patton is urging the farmi era to raise horses of superior types and conformation suitable for army uses, for which there is bound to be a lively demand during the next few years. The pressing demand of the Army In 'horses for the express and heavy weight draft types, weigh ing from 1.400 to 2.000 pounds, and these types are also in great demand for commercal industries. The more desirable specimen of the draft animal is one cloSfely made and compactly built, big round bar rel, good spring of rib with deep flank and ample heart girth. The legs are clean cut with good quality of bone. In the interest of breeding good horses there is a state law requiring the registration and licensing of all stallions and Jacks standing for service in Pennsylvania. This law. with its amendments, has been in effect since 1911 and has a marked effect in encouraging the use lit high grade, desirable stallions for service. In the early administration of the law the requirements covering qual ity and desirability were not strictly drawn, in order to avoid inconven ience, losses and discouragement to prospective breeders. A certain amount of education was necessary to impress small breeders with the economic importance of paying larger fees for the services of high class stallions. It was also neces sary to gain time to allow the im portation and preparation of more stallions of this class. As the good horses increased in numbers and be came more widely distributed over the state, the rules for licensing were drawn tighter so as to exclude the less desirable types of stallions. This encouraged stallion owners and many of them voluntarily unsexed the old misfits and replaced them with good horses, obtaining higher fees from discriminating patrons. The good results from careful ad ministration of the law is shown in Circular No. 4 9 of the State Depart ment of Agriculture, which is ready for free distribution. In 1908 there were 252 Percherons pure bred and registered, licensed to stand. In' 1917 the number had Increased to 550. During the same period the Belgians increased from 35 to 116. Other pure breeds showed a similar ratio of increase, while the nonde script or mixed breeds showed a marked decrease. In 1917 the State Dive Stock San itary Board issued licenses to 1,804 staliions and five jacks. Up to July 1, 1918, only 1,200 stallions have been licensed Quits High Society For Life With "Tot" Boston. Mass. Edward Tuck French, heir to millions, will aban don society.

County Commissioner Henry M. Stine, at whose suggestion the spe cial committee was appointed, said to-day he was pleased with the con dition of the, city disease hospital, but declared many alterations and improvements necessary to make it modern and safe.

ALLIES ADD MANY TO BAG OF PRISONERS [Continued from First Page.] mand, apparently they have not yet roused the Germans to action. Fran co-American troops on the French front have taken 5,400 prisoners since June 15. The German hesita tion in resuming the offensive is giv ing the allies, although prepared to meet It, a little concern as day by day they improve their positions by advances in local operations in which a year or so ago would have been looked upon as sizable battles. Merlin Has Mnny Claims In an attack against the new- French positions in the Longpont re gion, south of the Aisne, the Ger mans have failed to advance. The enemy has made no attempt to re coup the losses sustained In the French forward movement south west of Noyon, in which the Ger mans lost 530 prisoners and 30 ma chine guns. The weather on the Brit ish front had been rainy and un favorable. Berlin continues to report officially that all allied efforts are being re pulsed. Allied patrol actions are made to appear as attacks and allied attacks as small raids. Claim is made by the German command that "suc cessful local engagements" have been fought west of Chateau Thierry v/here the Americans and French hold the line northwestward toward the Retz forest, east of Vlllers-Cot terets. Allied communiques make no mention of any fighting there. , Success in Albania Franco-Italian successes in Alba nia apparently threaten seriously the Austo-Hungarian situation in Central Albania. The French are making good gains in eastern Alba nia west of Lake Ochrida while the Italians are advancing speedily in the west, The Austrian line appears to be V-shaped with the allies press ing hard on both flanks and the point of the salient being near Berat. An Austrian retirement of any moment would probably compel the Bulgar ians to rearrange their lines In Macedonia, east of Lake Ochrida. Siberia Sets Up Government A new provisional government for Siberia has been set up In Vladi vostok, now in control of Czecho slovak forces. It will oppose the central powers.
