WARSHIPS HOLD PRACTICE OFF COAST OF CUBA Admiral Jones Finds Tars Take to Fighting With Avidity. GUANTANAMO, Cuba, Feb. 10.—The entire Atlantic fleet, United States Nary, as now organized is at anchor today In the spacious bay that stretches out from the naval station on the southeastern end of Cuba. Since early in January the battleship force, with its auxiliaries, has been at Guacanayabo Gulf, ISO miles to the west of here, in active practice. Arriving on the U. S. S. Columbia, flagship of the fleet. Admiral Hilary P. Jones. U. R. N., found the personnel of the force far into the preparatory work with a display of eagerness for training and a spirit of rr.i effort that points a way to a fine efficiency. Admiral Jones believes sailors should be trained on ships and ships at sea and that is exactly the essence of the program here. BIG SHIPS ARE ACTIVE. The ships now present on the south- * ern coast of Cuba are the Columbia, the £ fleet flagship, which is commanded by Capt. J. K. Taussig; the Wyoming, with the flag of Vice Admiral J. I). McDonald, commanding the battleship force; Arkansas, flagship of division five, with Reap Admiral A. H. Scales; Delaware, North Dakota. Florida, flagship of the central force, with Rear Admiral Newton A. McCully: destroyer operative squadrons, Capt. T. T. Craven, commander, the Black Ilawk, tender; submarine squadrons In command of Capt. Chester Wells, and the ships of the train and train tugs, in command of Capt. D. R. de Steiguer on the flagship/ Olympia. NAVAL STATION LEASED FROM CUBA. This naval station was leased from Cuba In 1903 and since then has been the scene of the annual assembling of the ships of the Atlantic fleet. It contains about fifty square miles and at the head of an expansive bay, with plenty of deep water, it lies in the picturesque Guantanamo Valley, at the back of which are the hills from which much of the Cuban ore is mined. The station has the largest small-arm target range on the island and every facility for outdoor sports. It is no uncommon sight during the hours of shore liberty to see half a dozen spirited baseball games going on at once. Athletic events make up the shore liberty time of the men. and there is a great rivalry also in the cutter races, which attract widespread attention through the fleet. MARINES ALSO HAVE PART. The Marine detachments with the fleet also are carrying out an active schedule, j including landing parties, the taking ashore of field pieces and always the I work at the rifle range. It Is this continuous training on ships ! and with the things that belong to ships I with the side play of athletics that soon builds the men up and brings them to toe the Navy mark. During the stay of the ships here there will be battle practice, day and night spotting, work in the turrets, and big gun firing at the targets as well as maneuvers. A detachment of aircraft of the F-5 type will operate with the fleet. The j ships will remain in Southern waters 1 until April and then return to home yards for overhaul.

MEN AND BUSINESS By RiCHARD SPILLANE

•p. HILADELPHTA, Feb. 10.—Suppose Congress passes and the President JP signs the bill for -what Is called adjusted compensation of the soldiers of the World War, or, as more popularly known, the soldier “bonus.” . What would it mean in additional taxes and where and how would the money be raised? The soldier “bonus" will require two billions of dollars initially. On the income of 1921 the Income tax and the excess profits tax will not total $2,000,000,000. If we had no other than these taxes they would have to be doubled to pay the “bonus.”

There are four sources through which additional revenue might be raised. They are (1) increasing postage to 3 cents, which would add $200,000,000 in revenue; (2) a national tax on automobiles; (3) heavier tax on tobacco, and (4) a 2-cent tax on bank checks, irrespective of size. Even with these the sum obtained probably would fall short of requirements. In the judgment of one of the nationally known tax experts it would be necessary also to Increase the normal tax rate to 12 per cent instead of 8, Increase the corporation tax to 20 per cent instead of 12%, Extend the sales tax to a large number of articles now exempt. INEVITABLY the distribution of two billions of dollars to the ex-service men would bring about a considerable amount of reckless spending, with a rise in prices of many kinds and classes of goods. Those who got money through the bonus would have money to spend, but those assessed, and they make up the bulk of the population, would have less. Inevitably Liberty bonds would ba depressed considerably in market value, for there would have to be a Government bond issue to meet the immediate requirement for ready money to pay the bonus. There Is other criticism of the soldier “bonus” bill. To many persons its provisions appear unjust. There is general agreement that the Nation cannot do enough for the gallant boys who suffered dreadfully in the war through being gassed, wounded or disabled. But why, it is asked, should those who never got to France, who never knew the horrors of war, be rewarded as fully as the sufferers? It is pointed out, too, that hundreds of thousands of those who never got across got something in their war training which they never could have obtained. They got education, physical development and a broadening of their mental horizon that should be of incalculable value. ’ It is pointed out. also, that millions of persons In civil life made sacrifices in money and service in war work fully as great as those who never get bej ond training camps. They do not ask for pensions or compensation. They served no less than did those whot went to the training camps. IT may as well be appreciated now as later that heavier taxation will delay readjustment not only in America, but in other countries, for upon readjustment in this country recovery in other lands depends to a degree. Increased taxation means added difficulties in the conduct of business. En-

terprise Is dulled when the greater the effort the heavier the tax penalty. Today the country is in sore straits in many departments of its life. Its burdens have been increased by the drastic decline in the statue of its various products, by disorganization of foreign commerce and by a large measure of unemployment. Taxation today Is more of a weight than ever before in five decades. BUT will the soldier “bonus” bill become law? The signs are that it will pass both nouses of Congress. President Harding has declared he will not approve any “bonus” legislation that does not include a measure for raising the revenue. The Administration is committed to reduction of taxation. It is committeed also to soldier compensation. It is possible to do one of these, but not the two at this time. What’s the answer? —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.
