| PASS BIG WAR
| BILL PROMPTLY,
URGES PENROSE
j Pennsylvania Senator Strong-i
lv Dissents From 1920 Tax
Provision, but Supports
/I v .Associated rress
Wnshiiigton. Dec. 17. Prompt
I passage of the war revenue bill was
urged in the Senate to-day by Sena- ,
] tor Penrose, of Pennsylvania, senior
| Republican member of the finance j
■ committee.
Senator Penrose gave his views'
! when the Senate reached the income
J tax section which provides for ■ re
j duction of rates in 1920. Chairman
| Simmons of the finance committee,
! in charge of the bill, had formally i
j annouced that every effort would be j
I made to reach a final vofe on the j
{measure before the holidays.
. Although strong!?- dissenting from j
jthe provision for 1920 tuxes, Sena-j
{tor Penrose urged early passage of'
the bill wjth a view to revision later, i
He favored abolishing war excess;
profits taxes and substitution of aj
new system of flat |nrotne taxes. ;
It is because the bill is essential- j
ly a war measure, he said, "that I j
jam willing to support it, although
{ dissenting from the special 1920 pro- J
visions. It has received more care- !
I fill thought by far than any pre-!
vlous internal revenue measare ifi j
this country. It is more clearly and
i consistently drafted unci supplied;
with wiser administrative provisions
than any other measure.
"1 cannot disguise the fact that I
feel anxious as to the effect upon
! the public of the attempt to apply
such higher rates of income and
' profits taxes are are provided. I am i
; also convinced that the great.body!
of intelligent and patriotic business
men and taxpayers throughout the
land are willing to accept these rates i
j and desire the measure passed.
I "Undoubtedly many defects will.
j have to be provided for by remedial ;
legislation in the future. It "Seems,,
'■ however, to be the best that can be
hud at the present time and it is
1 unquestionably better than any pre
| ceding law. It is earnestly to be
: hoped that the bill will be passed
pomiptly."
The bill's rates, Senator Penrose j
j said reach the "limit of endurance" j
i an(4 only are entitled to support as j
j War emergency, lie added that tax ;
I reductions as government require-(
j.menls shrink during demobilization|
land reconstruction and are certain j
| in the future.
Three Suits For Damages

Two other actions were brought j
I asking for $5,000 for Wesley M.

reached'before the peace conference |
adjourns.
Working Out Our Plans
While are shaping up for j
the.great gathering, President Wil
son is evidently working out his own j
plans and for the most part keeping '
ills awn counsel. He Was exceedingly i
gratified with his visit to Premier !
Clemenceuu, which was largely a j
personal affair.
President Wilson's health contin- j
ues good. He has completely shaken j
off the cold which followed hint to I
Eurppp. He is keeping ih the-closest
touch with affairs In thi* United
States through advices from the
White House from members of the
Cabinet and heads of some of the !
special war bureaus upon whom he :
Is depending for accurate inforntu- j
tion.
Secretary of State Lansing was I
in conference this morning with i
members of the American delegation [
to the peace conference in au effort j
to organize the working force. The i
secretary met each individual sepa- j
rately and began the assignment of i
duties to the various members of the i
American group.
Secretary Lansing said it was t
c[early impossible to do anything i
I more than this preliminary work, j
i.such as the organization o.f separate
•units, before the holidays, nUhough
: there might be aind probablyI*would 1 *would |
i be informal conversations between |
' the American and entente
| to the congress as they met socially I
! and unofficially.
No Rail Chief Chosen
So far as Is known the President j
; has not yet selected a director gen- j
i eral of railroads, and Director Gen-'
I eral MoAdoo may hold over until the I
President's return s
Hears I .otter From Pope
Monsignor Cerretti. papal tinder i
secretary of state, who is in Paris j
on ids way to the United States to ;
participate in the jubilee celebration j
of Cardinal Gibbops, will call on
Colonel E. M. House to-day to make I
arrangements to be received by |
; President Wilson. He will present !
j the President with an autographed
I letter from Pope Benedict and will i
j discuss arrangements for the visit of j
! the President to the Pope during the 1
I President's stay in Rome.
Official Visit Closes
President Wilson's official visit to)
j Paris closed last night. The Paris i
edition of the London Dally Mail in I
discussing the President's reception I
says:
"He pas had one of the most re.- i
markable receptions ever recorded '
a guest of the French nation, al- j
i though the President has been care-. |
! ful to give His view that in him Paris j
! has seen the representative of the
American nation. *
"Yesterday the ceremony in the !
| City Hall was no formal function
> given in honpr of a distinguished !
! visitor, but a grateful tribute to a 1
j sister*republic whose* aid, arriving!
! so opportunely, assured the victory '
1 of the allied arms."
i .President Wilson visited the pal- j
! aee at Versailles yesterday. His visit \
i was unannounced and informal.
It was his idea to inspect'
the golf course, which, on ad- i
| vice of Rear Admiral Grayson, i
j his personal physician, he will prob-;
I ably visit as often as time permits, j
I The driver, who'was unacquainted !
t with the route, missed the golf!
; course and Mr. Wilson saw !
j only the palace, returning to Parts
in time for luncheon,
j Yesterday's reception was ttie last
! of the affairs arranged wholly by I
! ttye French government. .Hereafter'
' all Mr. Wilson's movements will bej
' arranged to** by his personui staff, j
[ 'His conference with Premier Lloyd j
i George of Great Britain is still in-!
1 definite as to time, but it probably
' will not occur before the end of :
| this week
President Wilson, who is a keen
observer of people and public,
i opinion, vis said to have been im
j pressed by the hearty welcome of:
the French people ak an evidence;
of interest in the principle's he has,
expressed for the concert of the na- j
; tions and the preservation of pe.ace.i
; He is understood to be convinced!
that there arc no differences in prii}-j
ciple between the peoples of the!
! warring nations. 1 . j
Tonight the President will attend
' the reception to be given by Arabus
! sudor Sharp at the American em-!
bussy. Ming Victor Emmanuel and |
' Queen Elena, of Italy, will be re- j
ceived at the Murat residence be-'
I tween five and seven o'clock Thurs-
I duv evening.
President Wilson, accompanied by
1 Colonel E. M. House, but otherwise
j unattended, arrived at the French
: Ministry of War at 4.40 o'clock yes- i
! tarday afternoon. Georges Clemen
j ceau, the' president of the 'Council
I and Minister of War, came with out
j stretched hands to the top of the
I wide stairs and greeted the President
i warmly.
Clemenceuu Cordial
Thb Premier took Mr. Wilson's
! hand in both of his and shook it vig-
I orously in the especially vigorous
I manner the old "tiger" has when
i displaying pleasure,
j "How do you do, Mr. President,"
! said the Premier.
"Quite well, Mr. President," un
• swered Mr. Wilson.
"You ure not, itfd'.'" :ed M.
Clejnenei gu.
"Nc, iu.iv lit," declared tile Presi
dent. •
Mr. Wilson t.as then ushered by
Premier Chiueni.tiu nto h.a private
offii%\ Uoiu.:ei i.ousc remaining in
lite antechamber chatting with Gen
eral Mordacq. President Wilson left
; the ministry at 5 o'clock.
• Great Crowds Along Way
j The president's journey to the War ;
| Ministry was made byway of the)
I outer boulevards through Mont- ;
martre, the Seine beitu crossed !
by Alexander 111 bridge. • So great j
were the crowds that access to the |
| inner boulevards was impossible. At,
' the Ministry of War the old Terrl- j
torlals, class of 1895, on-the eve of,
, being demobilized, formed the guatd
of honor.
