A separate vote on the amendment will he taken in the House before final pas sage of the bill. The conferees also reached com plete agreement on nearly all of the miscellaneous tax disputes and have left for disposition only a few im portant questions. Several of the conferees believe the bill will go to the President before January 1. Another important Senate amend ment accepted by the House con ferees was that removing war taxes on first class postage next July 1, when the pre-war rates of two cents an ounce on letters and one cent for postcards would again be effective. Senate provisions creating an ad visory tax board to aid in adminis tering the new law were adopted by the conferees after being amend ed to provide for a board of five members at annual salaries of $9,- 000.

MAJOR SMITH IS ENTERTAINED ON HIS RETIREMENT Marsh Run Government Depot Has Grown to Great Proportions Major Harvey B. Smith, of Min neapolis, who is depot officer at the big quartermaster cantonment near New Cumberland, will soon retire from the service and was given a dinner by the members of his staff at the Penn.Harris last night. Ma jor Smith has made many friends among the poople of this section who will regret his departure. Yes terday afternoon he and his staff conducted a number of prominent Harrisburg men over the big plant and explained the growth of the army service depot which is likely to become an important factor in the development of the new Amer ican army. It seems to be generally understood that the character of the buildings and the general accessi bility of the plant assures its reten tion for the uses of the army in the east. The New Cumberland depot is one of three, the other two being located at Columbus, Ohio, and Schenectady, New York. These projects were intended as points of accumulation and ship ment for army supplies of all de scriptions to the army in France, all being located within twelve hours of the principal ports of embarka tion. The completion and organi zation of these reserve depots and the signing of the armistice occur ring on practically the same date, the functions of reserve depots, as a consequence, have materially changed, being now used primarily as points for permanent storage, classification, reclamation and even free from biliousness, sick head ache, indigestion, heartburn, and the many kindred ailments, which if allowed to continue become ag gravated. and cause serious illness with possible fatal results. Bliss Native Herb Tablets are the only recognized standard herb medicine. They are used in all parts of the civilized world and are guaranteed or money refunded. A dollar box contains 200 tablets.

The capacity of this depot is ap proximately 160 cars per day, and the supplies already in storage cover a great Variety of war material in tended for the use of all depart ments of the army, including ord nance, engineer supplies, medical supplies, quartermaster supplies, sig nal corps supplies, etc. As organized at present, the re serve depots aremalnly operated by army organizations with some civi lian office assistance and some civi lian labor. Attached to this project is a temporary camp in which at the present time are fifty commissioned officers, a guard and fire company with enlisted strength of 247 men; and colored soldiers to the num ber' of approximately 750, organized into three companies comprising one reserve labor battalion. There is also attached to headquarters a miscel laneous enlisted personnel of 148 men and a detachment of forty en listed Medical Corps men are qn duty at the post hospital. Covers Great Area _ Total area of warehouses is 1,- 984,000 square feet; concrete and macadam roads, 4.5 miles; railroad •racks, 8.2 miles; water pipe, 5.7 miles; sewers, 7.4 miles. Presumably as the army demo bilization proceeds the work of this project will be carried on by a. clli lian organization supervised by a small number of commissioned o ficers, and civilian labor rather than enlisted labor, but a definite POjjey in this respect has not so far been adopted by the War Department. Meanwhile the discharge of small groups of enlisted men is being ac complished where sufficient reasons of dependency or industrial nece sity are shown, and such men, far as necessary, are replaced by civilians. f q 4O The military reservation of acres is equipped with ba " a °* B 1 200 troops, with all n ,t ,tead buildings, such as messhal Is, head quarters, officers quarters, a splen dldly equipped hospital, Y.

All day powerful trucks roar in and out of the depot, delivering food and supplies to the troops and hauling freight and supplies to and nearby points and about d ®P£* grounds.

Their massive steel bodies, turrets and businesslike ar mament, with the marks of experi mental small arms attacks plainly visible brings one phase of the war very clearly to the onlooker. The people of Harrlsburg can have only a faint conception of the enor mous proportions of the plant at New Cumberland. It has grown up {almost in a night and demonstrates with what tremendous energy the | American army was getting Into full j swing when hostilities ceased.
