British Commander in Chief that American troops are fight- ing “shoulder to shoulder” with British and French in the great battle. To know that at least 30,000 American fighters had been doing} their part to make the cnemy’s boasted offensive his costliest and last, to know that maybe 200,000 more American soldiers were in the : ly at the right moment to rush in and make niighty Allied reserves, themselves--what Promier Clemenccau predicted yesterday they would be in forty-cight houts—“masters of the situation”—to know all this sith certainty, would cause every American heart on this side of the! Atlantic to beat faster with enthusiasm and hope. Why shou phrase in a British war report be the first definite and official assurance that has come to Americans at home concerning (he participation of United States troops in the tremendous action sow going on in Vicardy? ’ If Gen. Haig can tell where American soldiers are fighting, why American public be permitted some direct word of Washington? 1 a | FOR THE EASIER PAYMENT OF WAR TAXES. | . AMENDMENT to the War Tax Law which shall provide; that Income and Excess Profit Taxes may be paid in install-| ments, at dates extending to the end of the present year, has, shouldn't th hem throu deen urged by The Evening World os a measure of relief to which the country is entitled and by which the Government is certain to gain, | The has received strong indorsement. Senator Watson of Indiana and Representative McFadden of Pennsylvania have introduced, in their respective Houses of Congre: } suggestion » bills which} aim to give payers of income and excess profit taxcs a longer time in} which to pay the full amounts of these taxes, | Such an arrangement would prove an immense boon to wany) ‘business concerns and individuals who could not have foreseen, during! the greater portion of last year, the necessity of meeting such extraor-| dinary levies upon last year’s incom , At the same time it would obviate the disturbance to business and finance threatened by the withdrawal, all at once, of sums of money sufficient to cover the large proportion of these taxes certain to be paid toward the eleventh hour. Another powerful argument for an easier schedule of income tax payments: The Third Liberty Loan will be floated next month. During April and May—if the final date for the full payment of, income and excess profit taxes remains fixed at June 15—many “Americans are going to be much too concerned with the necessity of having cash on hand for these war taxes to think of buying more Liberty bonds, | Whereas if the payment of the war taxes could be distributed! over a longer period, these same Americans would be in a far better! position cheerfully and confidently to subscribe for the new bonds. | And the same applies to the continued, uninterrupted and in-| creasing habit of buying War Savings Stamps. | It has been the wise policy of the Government to distribute war! burdens so that heavy loads may be taken on gradually and carried | without strain, | Let Congress hasten to extend that policy to the collection of | war taxes, i A measure providing for the payment of income and excess profit taxes in installments extending to December should be passed at once} ~—before the Third Liberty Loan campaign is under way. | i | | | EAT POTATOES. | OTATOES have not been bringing prices high enough to satisfy Pp the farmer. Since the first of January, the Mederal Food Administration reporte, wholesale dealers have been shy about} buying potatoes save in small quantities, The potato market is singu- larly sluggish. One reason for this is undoubtedly the persistence of the belief established in the minds of housewives by the experiences of last year, that potatoes cost too much to take their old place in the will of fare, The fact that the potato can again be Tegarded as an article of food boti plentiful and cheap is only gradually impressing itself upon conrumers, \ family At the present time, when Americans are b f urged to reduce ati'l further their consumption of wheat, one of the best things they cin do is to get k the polato habit, There is no better food to teke the p! f wheat and it only needs the encourageme a nt of wide deinand to bring the potato back into the market in the old at ance at low prices, Fat potatoes. pund-' It is one of the best ways to free wheat and meet the urgent demands of war on the food side, Hits From Sharp Wits Live your life as Hoover makes It, Think of the thousands of without kick or growl! or mutter, alt- beans thar are aw th Ung safe within the knowledge oleo's {Of the summer garden Commercial Appeal us good as butter.—Milwaukee News. oo 6 i oe Habita are strong, Love 4 Life is not what Hoover rakes tt, an necessary to wome wome 0 but We must live It, anyhow; ole. |bacco is to some men, tladelphia isn't good as butter—it lacks tho | ltecord, Whiadelphla flavor of the cow.—Toledo Blade. ren 408 A aelective draft board in the East A thmid deer id Sadie Sere If anything is started.
