One peculiar case was that of Yong Luck Way, a China- man living at 5 East Main street. He said he was a citizen of the United States and did not claim exemption. His father was born in this country and resides in San Francisco, but he ‘himself was born in China. Way was ‘rejected, however, for physical disa- bility. Several policemen and members o the supernumerary police force were jncluded in the call today. Peter Cabelus, a supernumerary, passed but claimed exemption for dependents, as did Patrolman George C. Ellinger. Other policemen who have passed the examination are Officer Willlam ,Hayes and supernumerary Delbert Veley. Louls R.

Both sides had planned the at- tack at the same moment. Fifteen minutes after the clash came the Germans were making their last stand on the parapet of their trench. They then retreated rapidly.

He suggested increasing the $2,006,000,000, bill to more than $3,- 500,000,000 by such increases with elimination of consumption taxes. He also urged that less bonds and more taxes be authorized. Senator LaFollette delivered his speech in his usual vigorous style and several times pointed out senators talking together and asked them to stop, saying it caused him annoyance. The Wisconsin senator declared that the governments were demand- ing war while their peoples were asking for peace, and contended that 85 per cent. of the men drafted are protesting. Large bond issues in- crease the present high cost of lv- ing, which, he asserted, already im- poses a 50 to 100 per cent. war bur- den upon the masses. The Liberty loan, he said, was made possible by “an iron hand within a kid glove” and persistent advertising methods. The pending bill, Mr. La Follette stated, provides by taxes but 17 per cent. of this year’s war expenses, which_he predicted may reach $30,- 000,000,000 or $40,000,000,000 and he urged that huge war profits and in- comes of wealthy persons by higher surtaxes be made to bear the burden of the war. Wealth Not a Patriot. Urging a larger proportion of taxes, the Wisconsin senator said: “It is a part of the history of all 1 great wars that wealth has demanded the minimum of taxation and the maximum of loans, while the poorer classes have desired the maximum of taxation and the minimum of loans and this difference is accentuated now sincé war profits and excessive in- comes are being forced by taxation to contribute some portion of the rev- enues which war makes it necessary to raise. “Wealth has never vet sacrificed it- self on the altar of patriotism in any war. On the other hand it has ever shown itself eager to take advantage of the misfortunes which war always brings to the masses of the people. That has been true of every war we have had, and it is certainly true of the present war.” He argued that the poor equally with the rich, will have the opportu- nity to purchase war bonds. “It is small comfort to have the opportu- nity to purchase war bonds if you have little or no money to invest in bonds,” he said. The late Liberty loan is a good example of bonds sold to those of limited means. All the machinery of the government was set in motion to sell these bonds to the small investor. ‘“We all know that these bonds were a poor investment to the man of small means in comparison with the advantages which the owners of large incomes could secure from in- vesting mlllions of their taxable in- comes in these non-taxable bonds. The government has made them the equivalent of an investment paying from five to nine per cent., and more, to persons with large incomes. who will escape the income tax on every dollar thus invested, while to the wage earner and the man with a sal- ary so small as not to be reached by the income tax, who pinched and saved and sacrificed in order to pur- chase them, they return but a meagre 314 per cent.

COAL ADMINISTRATOR NEXT President Wilson Expected to Make Known Identity of Official Soon— Lovett Director of Priority. Washington, Aug. 21.—President Wilson's next move to rds the es- tablishment of government control of the coal industry, following the ap- pointment of Judge Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific rail- road, as director of priority of trans- portation is expected to be the se- lection within a day or so of a coal administrator. There was no intimation to he had today concerning the identity of the man the president will name to con- trol coal production and distribution and to exercise the price fixing pow- ers given in the food bill. It is not believed that a member of the fed- eral trade commission or Judge Lov- ett will ‘be appointed. Judge Lovett's first official act was to direct railway and steamship lines to give bituminous coal shipments to the northwest precedence over all other freight treansportation. There were outward indications to- | day that President Wilson was seri- ously conslidering the appointment of Presldent Harry A. Garfield of Wil llamstown college as coal adminis- trator.
