The corps will be used to head Liberty

drummers in the organisation, and Bes

London Nov. 16. Coleman street, down
by the Bank of England, Is, In the heart
of the historic old "City of London."
The Armorers' hull Is there with Its
treasures which recall the wars of the
barons and Its gorgeous gold and sliver
plate. Nearby Is the old church of
St. Stephen spared by the great fire.
Coleman street's newest activity Is the
great storehouse of the American Red
CroA.
The warehouse Is more Impressive than
any dixplay of chased cuirass or for
gotton crafts. It Is fully as inspiring
as "the old church. The warehouse has
the advantage of size, too, and every
floor is filled with things for the Ameri
can soldier.
Here is one huge pile of 600 bales of
blankets. It seems as if one could
blanket all the allies from this one
pile. Another pile contains nothing but
hospital linen of all kinds, while other
divisions of the 60,000 feet of floor
space are devoted to such things as
woolens, flannel cloth for convalescent
suits, pyramids of pajamas, shelves upon
shelves of surgical supplies systematically
classified. The whole unconquerable
spirit of the Stars and Stripes float
ing from Maine to Oregon penetrates
this vast storehouse in old London.
The great stores here come from every
corner of the United States, from indi
vidual chapters of the complex organ!
zatlon known as the American Bed
Cross.
One of the most Interesting parts of
the warehouse is the section devoted to
"bonded" stores. This big room is prao
tically a department of the English ex
else. A customs officer is there on
duty, to vise all incoming or outgoing
consignments of things that would be
duitable to ordinary importers, such as
tobacco, sugar and chloroform. Under his
care there are more than 5,000,000 cigar
ettes waiting delivery to hospitals and
canteens, together with great quantities of
chewing gum and pipe tobacco.

PR0P0.SES TO TAX ALL SALES
-A
Opposition Voiced to Placing
of Tax on Checks; Big Job to
Bring Back Men From France.
Washington. Nov. 16. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) ,
One of the Interesting things to be noted
at the capital in the next few weeks will
be the attitude of Republican reaction
ary leaders toward the tax burdens of
the pending revenue bill. They have for
a long time -been chafing under the taxes
which the moneyed interests have had to
bear, and have been anxious to shift
more of it to the poor.
Working along these lines. Senator j
tension oi consumption taxes ana es- i
pecially a tax on all sales of merchan- !
dise costing $1 or more, to be paid by j
i the consumer. The bill as framed by
the ways and means committee in the j
house fixes numerous taxes on luxuries,
notably upon expensive articles of
clothing. j
These taxes, however, would not reach j
the ordinary laboring man or farmer.
The Smoot idea Is to make a tax of 1 1
I per cent apply to the modest purchase
also, so no one could buy a hat, a pair ;
I of shoes or a sack of flour without pay- :
ing one cent on each dollar In taxes.
This would yield a large amount of rev- j
enue and help to "relieve" the wealthy j
people who now contriDute neavuy on
their incomes and the luxuries in which '
they indulge. i
Check Tax Meets Opposition
Penrose and Smoot call this "dlstribu
ing the burdens of taxation." They are
all the time alarmed that the adminis- .
tration plan of levying taxes upon those :
best able to pay will "discourage in- !
dustry," although the corporation re-

ports show that enormous dividends still j
are being paid in nearly every line of
business outside of transportation. j
The proposed tax on bank checks is
another favorite idea of some members 1
of the finance committee of the senate.
Others argue that since the deposits of
workers who maintain checking ac
counts for the payment of their bills
forms a large part of the financing
ability of the banks, a tax of that sort
would surely curtail deposits and do
much more damage than any possible
benefit from the tax.
Chairman Kltchin of the house ways
and means committee is opposed to the
tax on checks, and believes that the
house- will refuse to authorize it. Con
gressman Slnnott has received many
protests on this from all parts of Ore
gon, and has Mr. Kltchln's promise that
if the senate approves it, the views of
the protestants will have his support in
conference and In the house.
Big Job Bringing Men Home
Already there ts speculation as to how
long American troops will be in Eu
rope after the declaration of peace, and
as to how long a time will be required to
bring them home. The estimates on
homeward transportation of troops
range from six months to two yeara
Over. 2,000,000 soldiers were sent over
seas in practically 10 months, and it
may be assumed that by the use of
equal facilities, without the necessity of
convoy, they could be returned in much
less time. Also, it has been suggested,
ships of the navy could aid considerably
in the work. j
This kind of an estimate, however, dis-
regards the fact that about 60 per cent !
I of the tonnage employed in taking troops '
over was British, and some of- it be- !
longed to other foreign countries, and
the most of these foreign ships wfll be j
wanted by the nations which own them
as soon as the war is over. The Brit- '
ish have a big Job of their own in send- !
ing back the soldiers from Canada, Aus-
tralia, India and other distant parts of 1
the world. j
Many Months for Job
Also It must be remembered that a
share of the American ships will be j
withdrawn for trade, and a considerable j
tonnage must be kept in service for some !
time in carrying the foodstuffs needed'
to feed the redeemed populations of Eu
rope until they can produce a crop next
year.
The total tonnage of the world will,
of course, be materially increased by the
growing production of ships, which will
show up strongly as soon as destruction
by submarines is at an end. There is
also a small reserve of shipping-tied up
in German and neutraj harbors which It
may be assumed will become available
with the return of peace.
After all these elements are weighed.
and leaving out the question of military
plans of demobilization of the American
army, it would appear that if the best
possible speed were made with the ton
nage likely to be available, the greater !
part of the overseas forces will not be
returned for from one year to 18 months
after the close of the war.
President Wilson, in his appeal for
the war work campaign, said that, "No
matter how distant the day of peace may
' prove to be, it will be followed by a long I
period of demobilization," and General I
