PICTURES TERRIBLE SCENES Tells of Gaunt Women Clawing Scraps to Eat Out of Gar- bage Heaps. MEETING HELD IN CAPITAL WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. — Two thousand people are dying every day throughout Mexico from starvation. This statement was made by J. O’'Connor, special representative of the Red Cross in Mexico, at the an- nyal meeting of the organization. Mr. O'Connor replied to those who have charged Red Cross workers with giving utitrue reports of conditions i Mexico, by saying that he had data showing that in the federal district about Mexico City, in October, the daily number of death due’to starva- tion was about 220. He added that he considered it a conservative esti- mate to say that at least 2,000 were SCENE OF JAPANESE CORONATION AND TWO NOTED GUESTS—The picture shows a view of the ‘‘Shishiiden,’’ or ceremonial hall, in Kyoto, and also Minister of Railroads Minoura, with his wife, dressed in their offici al costumes, entering the palace grounds for the coronation ceremonies.

I saw acres of paupers’ graves where the dead were buried so fast that the tin name plates required by law were not set above the graves. President Wilson and former Presi- dent Taft sat on the platform together. They greeted each other warmly. In & brief address President Wilson praised the humitarian work being done by the American Red Cross in the Kuro- pean war, saying it was the greatest agency the United States had for gool. The oftice of national director was abolished, and in its place two offices were created—director general of mili- tary relief and director general of v fan relief. Ernest P.

FINANCES IN GOOD CONDITION WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Radical | changes in the income tax to reach thousands not now subject to its pro- visions and to improve the machin- ery of collection were suggested to |congress today in the annua! report of Secretary McAdoo as means by which the greater part of the addi-, tional revenue needed to pay for the administration national defense plans can be provided. The secretary pro- posed to lower the exemption limits 80 as to tax married persons with in- comes-as-dow-as $3,000, and Single persons with $2,000 incomes. The exemptions now are $4,000 and $3,000 respeetively. Other Suggestions. Increases in the collection force, a re- quirement that returns must be made of gross income in place of net income, and & change so that the tax shall not be withheld at the source, were among Mr. McAdoo's other. suggestions. He made no estimate of the number of persons who might be taxed if the amendments were adopted nor the amount that might be expected, but in connection with his request for a larger collection force be pointed out that examination of the past personal and corporation returns showed that 63 per cent of those inspected dis- closed that additonal tax was due the government. On the basis of the ex- aminations, the secretary says that ap- parently more than $4,600,000 in personal tax and more than 320,891,000 in corpora- tion tax still is due the government. Many Evasions of Law. “Many Inaccurate returns are made,” sald the report, ‘“‘some dellberately and some ignorantly, and there are without doubt, wholesale evasions of the law throughout the country.

Only in this case it was a matter of each man paying 1 cent a pound on his weight for his breakfast. That was how Som- mers of Ottumwa happened to pay $2.40 for breakfast. Right there is where Joe McCaffery of Omaha got by for $L19 cents, and the boys accused him of starving for a month for the event. How They Started, During the afternoon the delegates told how they made their first dollar in life. Picking berries, running errands, chasing a messenger route, trapping and a lot of other stunts showed up in the accounts, but few it any made their first dollar in the hotel busines: Charley Miller of Denver came near missing the convention as he was unable to get away for the first day. Neverthe- less he jumped a train Tuesday night and rode all night in order to attead the | meeting yesterday, and the big banquet at the Fontenelle at night. The lebal responsibilities of a hotel clerk were discussed in the afternoon by Attorney Harry C. DeLamatre of Omaha, and the “Greater Influence On Organiza- tion Work"” was discussed in the afters noon by ¥. E. Zonne of Minneapolis. The annual banquet was held at the Fontenelle at night. The banquet was set for 7 o'clock, and began shortly after that hour. It was a strictly infors mal affair, and the delegates .turned | themselves loose with all the pepper they had left after the big celebration at the smoker the preceding night.

Heavy fighting has been in pro- gress there for the last few days. There is no confirmation of hints from various sources that the French troops have been forced definitely to abandon the positionse held by them since the beginning of tho campaign. The fall of Monastir and the south- ward progress of the German and Kulgarian forces, however, have placed the northern wing of the French expedition in a precarious situation, and withdrawal from the engle formed by the Vardar and Cerna rivers apparently has begun. Arrival of Fresh Forees. Constant arrival of frsh forcea and war materials at Saloniki give evidence that the allies have no intention of aban- doning their efforts in this region. Although the Germans have announced the capture of Ikep, Montenegro, the pursuing Austrian and Bulgarian armies evidently are confronted with a harder | task on the Montenegrin frontier than elsewhere. The Montenegrins continue to offer spirited redlstance and to check the Invaders wherever possible by sharp counter attacks.
