made Impossible to crush this season's
crop of grapes.

TAX IN DISPUTE
Upon the adoption of the proposed
3 per cent differential tax on un
earned incomes may hinge the sue-1
cess of the fourth Liberty loan drive
to be started on September 28, Secre
tary of the Treasury McAdoo has in
formed the House Ways and Means
Committee, a member of that commit
tee revealed today.
In a communication from Secretary
McAdoo to Chairman Kitchin, of the
committee, which was considered at
an executive session, the Secretary
explained why he regarded the 3 per
cent differential as essential to the
Treasury revenut-raising program.
It was understood that the Secre
tary and the committee were agreed
upon the differential as a general
proposition, but that it was in re
sponse to an expressed desire of mem
bers of the committee for Information
as to how the Treasury Department
proposed to work out Its plan of dis
tinguishing between earned and un
earned incomes that he sent his com
munication to Kitchin.
A member of the committee ex
plained that, even though the J8,
000.000.000 revenue bill was not pass
ed by the time the approaching Lib
erty loan drive started, the news
that the 3 per cent differential wai
to be incorporated in its income tax
schedule would be sure to cause
those possessing unearned income)
to "stop clipping coupons," and in
vest In Liberty loan bonds.
By doing so, he added, they would
escape the levy of the differential,
which they would not If their hold-
ings were confined to municipal and
industrial bonds, for example.
McAdoo is insistent upon a 12 per
cent tax on normal, or earned in
comes, with a 3 per cent differential
on unearned Incomes, while Kitchin
favors a 10 per cent tax with the
same differential.1

Belief In Potency
Of Mailed Fist Lost,
Says Berlin Paper
AMSTERDAM, Aug. 27. "The
German people are not beaten,
but the pernicious belief In om
nipotence of the mailed fist, and
hope of the German jingoes for
German world domination. Is
beaten." declares the Vorwaerts,
in regard to Lord Cecil's inter
view Friday.
Ninety thousand men have been
weeded out thus far from the army
here for transfer Into development
battalions. Fifty-one of these organ
izations are now operating in twenty
nine camps and the number is to be
increased.
These battalions take the men who
have slight physical defects suffi
cient to bar them from strenuous
combat service mend them, develop
them for semi-civilian duties, and then
place them on "limited service." In
this manner important tasks at home
can be accomplished while some phy
sically fit men In a non-combatant
position can De used for overseas.
The new draft is expected to pro
duce a vast Increase in men for the
development battalions.
