PHILADELPHIA, July 26. Latin-
American diplomats, the guests of the
Shipping Board at an inspection of the
Hog Island shipyard, were told today
by Chairman Hurley that the great
merchant marine now being built by
the United states must bring prosper
ity to America's neighbors as well as
to this country or the pride of the
United States in the achievement will
be diminished. He said:
iuZ?JhS'b???.Bhpa.,vi.n not be vsod HONOR OF U: S. AT STAKE
ment in peace, any more than they are
used for such aggrandizement in the war
that 19 now waging.
Our duty now is to build a bridge of
snip, to our ngnting iront in iTance. our ijyncners Denounced by Wilson, as
onage win De used to connect us more
closely with our neighbors when the war
is over" a bridge that will be used as freely
and with quite as much advantage by our
seignbors as by ourselves.
It has been laid down as a rule of our
conduct at home during the war that no
excessive profit shall be made out of the
struggle of humanity. That rule will not
be lifted when peace comes.
The ships that are being built by the
tJnited States as instruments of war are
designed to serve equally well as the in
struments of peace. The great fleet that
this country is building will be operated
arter the war upon principles which recog
nize human and National rights and
equities.
That fleet will serve Latin-America, as It
serves the people of the United States. It
will serve the world as America is now
serving the world in fighting for the cause

cial.) That Postmaster Dana Child
will become manager or director of
the telephone and telegraph service in
this city July 31, when Postmaster
General Burleson will become director
general of telephones and telegraphs
of the country, is the substance of
forecast from Washington.
It is predicted also that the main
telegraph and telephone offices in Spo

building here. Manager B. S. Jones
of the Western Union and other tel
ephone and telegraph managers here
stated today that they have received
ro direct information of the proposed
changes.
A forecast of what the Federal sys
tem of wire control will mean, to Spo
kane is not a difficult matter, accord
ing to the Washington report, at least
in its main phase. The Director-General
already has indicated that he will
put Postmaster Chase, of Washington,
D. C, in charge of the telephone and
telegraph at the National capital. This
is construed as an indication that in
each city the local postmaster is to be
come manager of the telegraph and
telephone service under Government
control.

WASHINGTON, July 26. President
Wilson today in a personal statement
addressed to his fellow' countrymen,
denouncing mob spirit and mob action,
called upon the Nation to enow the
world that while it fights for .democ
racy, on foreign fields, it is not destroy
ing democracy at home.
The President's statement in full
follows: .
My fellow countrymen I tak fh llhertv
of addressing you upon a subject which so
vitally affects the honor of he Nation and
the very .character and Integrity of our In
stitutions that I trust you wHl think: me
Justified in speaking very plainly about it.
None Can Justify I-jnrhlngs.
I allude to the mob SDirlt which has. re
cently flere and there very frequently shown
its head amongst us. not In any single re
gion, but in many and widely separated
parts of the country. There have been many
lynchings and every one of them has been
blow at the heart of ordered law and
humane justice.
Ao man who loves America, no man who
really cares for his family and honor and
character or who Is truly loyal to her in
stitutions, can Justify mob action whlie the
courts of Justice are open and the govern
ments of the - state ana the Nation are
ready and able to do their duty.
We are at this very moment fighting
lawless passion. Germany has outlawed her
self among the nations because she has dis
regarded the sacred obligations of law and
has made lynchers of her armies. Lynchers
emulate her disgraceful example.
I, for my part, am anxious to see every
community In America rise above that level.
with pride and a fixed resolution which no
man or set of men can afford to despise.
We proudly claim, to be the champions of
democracy. If we really are, in deed and
truth, let us see to It that we do not
discredit our own. I say plainly that every
American who takes part .in the action of a
mob or gives any sort of countenance Is no
true son of this great democracy, but its
betrayer and does more to discredit her by
that single disloyalty to her standards of
law and of right than the words of her
statesmen or the sacrifices of her heroic
boys In the trenches can do to make suffer
ing peoples believe her to be their saviors.
How shall we commend democracy to the
acceptance of other peoples. If we disgrace
our own by proving that it is, alter au, no
nrntectlon to the weak?
Every mob contributes to German lies
about the United States what her most gift
ed liars cannot Improve upon by the way
of calumny. They can at least say mat
such thinsrs cannot happen In Germany ex
cent In times of revolution, when law is
wont nwftv.
I therefore very earnestly ana soiemniy
beg that the Governors of all the states.
the law officers or every community nu,
abovA all, the men and women of every
comMmlty in the United States, all who
revere America and wish to keep her name
without stain or reproach, will co-operate
Tint ' passively merely, but actively ana
watchfully to make an end of this dis
graceful evil. It cannot live while the com-
Tniinltv lines not countenance it.

WASHINGTON, July 26. The gradu
ated excess prof its tax of from SO to
80 per cent on net incomes beyond
exemptions and exemption of $2000 pus
10 per cent on the amount of invested
capital, as tentatively decided yester
day, . were practically adopted by the
House ways and means committee to
day. Taxation of luxuries, estimated
by the Treasury as capable of raising
$2,000,000,000, will be considered Mon
day. Complaints of Inequalities are ex
pected to be remedies by the commit
tee's action In repealing a section or
the present revenue law. The effect
will be that excess profits tax under
the pending bill will not apply-to in
dividuals and partnerships. Individuals
and- partnerships -will be reached
through the normal and surtax provi
sions of the income tax law.
The committee decided to retain sub
stantially the same text of "capital In
vested and other definitions as are
in the present law.
While not definitely deciding the
matter, a majority of the committee
was favorable to a provision that in
no case should the excess profits tax
exceed 60 per cent of the net income
non be less than 10 per cent of the
net income in the case of corporations
with a capital exceeding $200,000.
Several members of the committee
were disposed to favor a flat tax of
80 per cent, but the committee rejected
the proposal as discouraging to In
itiative.
The committee disregarded pre-war
comparisons for taxation. There is still
discrepancy of almost $2,000,000,000
betwen the revenue estimated to be
yielded by the excess profits and in
come taxes as proposed and the
$6,000,000,000 sought from those sources
under the $8,000,000,000 revenue pro
