SMALL. (Copyright, 192 Tribune) NEW YORK, May 11.—Blase New York at last has been shocked to its foundations, Every now nd then Caspe there creeps to the surface of the big city a story about bables and suddenly there comes a realization of what {fs going on in the wor after all. @ was a few years ago the about the baby farmer,” 4 an from up-stute, who started from New York in a taxicab with something lke sixteen babies dumped into the machine. When she reached her destination, half q dozen of the poor little tots vere dead of suffocation.

Both died. The revelations from the baby m have torn the heart strings of New York's women and.there Is to- day a loud outery, not only against the woman who is charged with half a dozen crimes of varying degree. Dut against the social system which has bred such institutions ‘and’ which permits them to continue.

Not all the children at the farm e been born out of wedlock, not by any means. Some were placed thereby mothers who had to go out and earn their own ving and had no means of caring for them.

An fmdication of what 1s In store for the Moors was given. tonight in announcem:nt that General Miesell, inspector general of all the French alr forces, has been charged with a fon to Morocco in connection missi with a great aerla} offensive. France has found the swift thrust of Abdel Krim's tribesmen into French Morocco more difficult to re- pulse than had been anticipated, and troopships are moving out of Bor- deaux, Marseille and Toulon carry- ing reinforcements to Marshal Ly- nutey. First and most pressing of the problems presented by the Moor in- vasion is rellef of outposts still Iso: lated by infiltration of the Riffians, While General Colombat, command: ing the left wing of the French line, was reported to have relleved and revictualled all blockhouses sur- rounded by the enemy In his terr!- tory, further to the north and east the Riffs are besieging five posts which are badly in need “of assist. ance. After the Riffians have been turned back, an offensive which will destroy forever danger from this enemy is contemplated by, the French, Premier Palnleve an- nounced today. For this action, Marshal Lyautey. French Mor » has asked for more troops, airplanes and artillery, which are being sent him.

(Copyright, 1925, Consolidated Press Association.) WASHINGTON, May 11.—Secre- tary Mellon has adopted a new method of approach to the problem of tax revision which may become the basis of the administratfon’s en- tire argument for reduction of sur- taxes in the next session of congress. Mr. Mellon confesses that it is hopeless to expect the immediate passage of a constitutional amend ment restricting the issuance of tax exempt securities, but declares there is another and eyen more effective way of cutting off “this inviting avenue of egcape from taxation". ‘The secr@tary renlizes, of course, that even a federal amendment could not affect the eleven billion dollars of tax-exempt securities now issued and propoges, therefore, that the government readjust surtaxes “on a basis that will attract capital back into productive business and keep it from exhausting itself in tax-exempt securities or from taking advantage of other methods of investment by which taxes are avoided.” There has been talk of a 25 per cent surtax rate as the maximum to be applied, but Mr, Mellon points out that congress must go even lower than that really to compete with tax-exempt securities. “To a man whose income is sub- Faulty sad elimination —the cause of most ills.
