GREATEST TAX BILL IN WORLD IS COMPLETED Measure Will Bring $8,200,000,000 Into U. S. Treasury To be Reported Monday.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 31 In a conference which Chairman Kltchin and other members of the house ways and means committee had with Secretary McAdoo Friday practical agreement was reached on vital sections of the revenue bill. The measure, th largest tax bill in history of any nation, now has been finished except for final reading and textual corrections It was estimated originally that of the $24,000,000,000 necessary for the war expenditures in the next fiscal year one-third, or $8,000,000,000 should be raised by a tax bill, doubling, in some Instances tropling, the rates in the present revenue bill. It was estimated Friday by Repre sentative Kitchin that the bill, if en acted into law, would bring into the treasury more than $8,200,000,000, chiefly from taxes upon those who have made money from the war and without imposing consumption taxes on breakfast table necessities. The bill, as it will be reported to the house either Monday' or Tuesday, does not have the entire approval of Secretary McAdoo. He is opposed to the war profit section containing the alternative excess profit tax beginning with a tax of 35 per cent and running as high as 79 per cent. The New Rates. As agreed to by the committee yesterday, the war profits section, estimated to raise $3,200,000,000, imposes an 80 per cent war profit tax and provides for an alternative excess profit tax. There is an exemption of $3,000 plus 8 per cent of the invested capital, after which these rates are levied: On income exceeding the exemptions and not exceeding 15 per cent of invested capital, a tax of 35 per cent; in Income exceeding 15 percent and not exceeding 20 per cent of invested capital, a tax of 50 per cent. On income exceeding 20 per cent of invested capital, a tax of 70 per cent. Secretary McAdoo recommended the 80 per cent war tax and an alternative tax, the same as the present excess profit tax, with rates from 20 to 60 per cent. After determining that the difficulties of administration wold be very great. Secretary McAdoo agreed to abandon the plan for placing a greater normal tax on unearned than earned incomes. He insisted originally that the tax on unearned incomes should be 15 per cent and on earned incomes 13 per cent. In the conference today be agreed that the normal tax on all incomes should be 12 per cent. This means that there will be a 12 per cent norma! tax on all incomes over $4,000 and the tax on incomes below that amonut will be down to the exemption figure of 6 per cent. The present normal tax is 4 per cent. The exemption in the bill is the same as in the present law, $1,000 for single and $2,000 for married persons. Autoists to Pay $70,000,000. Virtually all th9 taxes in the present revenue laws are doubled, and in some instances they are tripled. There are no new taxes except a luxury tax patterned after the English and French system and a tax on the users of auto mobiles. This tax, which is in the form of a federal license, based on horse power, it Is estimated will raise $70,000,000. The automobile tax ranges as follows: Motorcycles, $5; automobiles or electrics of 23 horse power or less, $10; more than 23 horse power and not more than 30 horse power, ?20; more than 30 horse power and not more than 40 horse power, $30; more than 40 horse power, $50. The tax on all travel tickets, railroad or boat, is increased to 5 per cent and there is an extra tax of 8 per cent on Pullman tickets.

With forty-one official victories to his credit, which in the French service signifies that he has brought down probably double that number, Captain Maddon, the second French ace, is reported to have the mo6t unique tactics and for adroit manoeuvering is said to be second only to the first French ace, Rene Fonck. Maddon has formed the habit of taking occasional holidays far over the German lines. His particular hobby Is to settle near some enemy airdrome, nlov anunH ft fnr a timo until Via has aroused his Boche adversaries. They start after him. thinking he hM' been brought there by engine troubleV and Just at the moment when they are ready to pounce upon him, he showers them with a load of incendiary bullets from his machine gun.

The more than s million men of the American Expeditionary forces constitutes the most moral army In the world, according tc official statements of the United States Medical corps. Attributing the extremely low per centage of affected men in the army to the medical programs of the United States forces, medical officers say that the two important factors in the production of the most moral army were vigorous work programs coupled with the diversified recreations of the camp and hygienic measures. At a meeting of 'the research society of the American Red Cross consisting of the medical officers of the United States army, the plan now in operation in the training camps of the United States, where illicit houses and the liquor traffic is suppressed, was spoken of as highly productive of results. The introduction in the trainingcamps of the United States of athletic games, libraries, recreation halls under the Young Men's Christian Association and other organizations, lectures, and wholesome amusements was hailed as a great step in the solution of the problem of vice in the army. The work of chaplains, the universities and the press also was mentioned as playing an important part in the alleviation. The education of men along moral lines conducted by the medical officers through literature which was distributed among the men, by exhimits and through the agencies of the War Department Commission of Training Camp Activities served to. keep the men in the right mental attitude toward the problem, the medical officers stated.
