LUXURY TAX IN REVENUE DILL IS CUT 5 MILLION

Semi-Luxury and Tobacco Tax Incuded irA Revision Amusement Tax Unchanged

WASHINGTON. Nov.: 23. Reduc

tions aggregating $5000(XX,000 in the yield from the new war revenue bill were made Friday by the 'Senate finance committeei In revising, the measure downward to the $6,000,000,000 lotal for 1919, proposed by 'Secretary McAdoo. The decrease was confined principally to . the tobacco, luxury, semiluxury and' other special and excise schedules. Among the more important decisions today were elimination of the luxury schedule proposed in the House bill, levying 20 per cent on co6tly articles of clothing and other merchandise and estimated to raise $184,795,000; elimination of the House tax of 2 cents a gallon on gasoline, estimated to yield $40,000,000; reduction from 10 to 5 per cent, or about $200,000,000 in revenue in rates on many articles classed as semlluxuries - and a reduction of about one-half in the House rates on tobacco, a cut of about $54,000,000 in revenue. The committee deferred decision on the plan, suggested by Secretary McAdoo and specifically presented yesterday by Chairman Simmons, for incorporating in the measure specific rates for 1920 taxation, by which the total revenue yield would be limited to $4,000,000. Republican members still vigorously oppose legislation for 1920 and the committee decided to pass that question temporarily. Tomorrow it will resume revision of the miscellaneous taxes' with a view 'to cutting off another $500,000,000 necessary to reduce the whole to $6,000,000,000. Semi-Luxuries Cut. In cuting the excise; or semi-luxury .schedules, today the ! committee reduced from 10 to 5 per cent the House rates on the following articles: Piano players, phonographs, photographic films, candy; portable electric fans, thermos bottles,, slot machines and toilet soaps and powders." ,The chewing gum rate was cut from 4 to 3 per cent; that-on hunting and bowie knives from 100 to 10 per cent; on firearms and ammunition from 25 to 10 per cent, and on sculpture, paintings and statuary from 10 to 5 per cent Ten per cent taxes imposed in the House bill on bathing 6uits and photographs or reproductions were entirely eliminated and that of 10 per cent on fur and wool articles made applicable to fur manufacturers only. In the excise schedule no change was made in the 5 per cent sales tax on automobiles, tirea and accessories nor in the 10 per cent rate on sporting goods and liveries, tapestries, textiles and yachts and motor boats. The 10 per cent sales tax on precious stones, jewelry and imitations, clocks, watches, opera glasses and similar articles was reduced to 5 per cent. After tentatively deciding today

Evans Describes How Quakers Helped Take Refugees to Safety

Charles Evans, chief of the Friends Unit in France, in his first annual report to Homer Folks, director of civil affairs of the American Red Cross, details some of the work done by the Quakers !n France: "Our men had their first experience in evacuation work on March 21," he says. ; "After a drum fire of some hours, the villagers were ordered from their homes by the military authorities, and from the north and east came pouring into Ham. Our workers, who by special permission remained at their posts, at once put our two camions ,into service. A transportation service valuable, but all too inadequate. They transported baggage of refugees to the railroad station at Ham, and moved helpless from the villages between Guiscard and Noyon, and by official request moved to a point of safety maps and valuable papers belonging to an army headquarters.. "In the inadequacy of field dressing stations and ambulances, our people brought In numbers of wounded, at first carrying them on their backs and later moving them by camion. Later, with some of our food supplies which they were able to save, they fed wounded and exhausted men at Gruny, Nesle and Montdidier. At Nesle, Madame la Sous-Prefete established with our workers a canteen in a private kitchen, where they fed at least 250 soldiers, mostly wounded. : Abandon Tractors. "All too soon this work was cut short by a fresh order for evacuating, which arrived at 2 a. m., on March 23. This affected our farmers, who retreated with all their horses and one tractor, but were forced to abandon the second tractor because of the congestion of the roads. Their carts were loaded with oats for the horses and with personal belongings of the equipes. In the retreat nearly all our men made the whole journey on foot, having outstayed all railroad service. Some stopped by the way for over a

week, helping with canteens for the J refugees at Roye and Montdidier. j

upon reduction of the amusement admission taxes, the committee finally determined to leave them unchanged as already reduced from the House figures. The principal rate for such admissions is 1 cent for each 5 cents paid." The 10 per cent tax on club dues also was left unchanged.

Others accompanied trains of refugees to St. BrieUx and later to Cannes, Biarritz, etc., and a few undertook the difficult ta3k of convoying by train 600 insane patients from an asylum near Amiens to their destination, at

Lourdes. In the later stages of evacuation work at Beauvias and Montdidier, all members of our Unit placed themselves under the direction of your chief representatives in the field in order to effect a closer co-operation of effort. "In Paris, the great difficulty was to preserve an office staff both here and at the British Friends' headquarters, as everyone wished to volunteer for field ' service. Workers of our Unit served in the Paris canteens, for refugees at the Gare de I'Est, the Gare du Nord and the Gare d'lvry and were in fact for some time in charge of the latter tw.o. At one single canteen, the Gare du Nord, 12,247 refugees were fed between March 26 and April 12, many of them two and three times. Further Work. "The next great drive of May 26tli, between Rhelms and Soissons, brought us an urgent request from the French civil authorities to help with refugees. Scouts on motorcycles left Sermaize immediately, and six motor trucks followed, bearing two doctors, 20 nurses, and food and medical supplies. The greatest need was located between Epernay and Dormans, where many refugees were found huddled under heavy shelling in the deep chalk cellars of the district. In one cellar our men rescued a man of 90, and a woman with a child two days old, born quite without medical attention. " , "The work continued almost a week. Our cars were frequently under shell fire, especially at cross-roads, and were forced to wait for darkness to

visit most exposed positions. The weather was excellent and the drivers could sleep ' their four hours on ths grass in the open country, which was safer than available shelter. Our cars registered 8,000 miles in this evacuation without casualty or accident. "Our workers helped also iji emergency work other than that of evacuation. Dr. Earp, a British Friend, was one of those who continued to operate in the military hospital at Epernay during a severe and prolonged air raid, in which several bombs fell beside the hospital. In an emergency canteen at Montmort, our women workers classified the refugees and fed them until military camions could

' We caused official rejoicing by saving in some villages, the prefectural records and cadastral plans, showing divisions of the land; We are pleased to be, able to record that the French officer In command of the -sector thanked our workers for.; their services. -- . li-Help in Argonne. "Before the offensive of July 15th, our cars were hastily summoned to the Argonne sector, but though the inhabitants of a few villages were moved, the evacuation was largely of a precautionary nature. . "No work entrusted to our unit has given its members more inspiration than the helping of the wretched unfortunates thus hasitly driven from their homes. In the presence of this stern necessity, one's petty feelings disappear, one knows the 'deep pleasure of service .'and desires that all members of the Mission might have had an equal share in the effort. "The great offensive of March 21st brought us, with its chance of service, losses not easy to bear. But although the Germans have captured and perhaps destroyed all our buildings in the Aisne and Somme, thus blotting out the seven months' labor of nearly 50 men, we cannot regret our work

there. Our undertaking had the full sanction of the military authorities they supported us in the view that it would be a good investment of labor and money, encouraging the production of food, the return of the peasant farmer to his land, the release of tho refugees from crowded and depressing quarters, and the general increase of hope for a future. Moreover, as Russia had not then ceased to be a military factor, the retreat of the Germans and the power of the Allied forces gave at the moment of decision every promise that our work there would shortly be safely behind the fighting lines." .
